Satin stitch is regular embroidery, not cross stitch. It is basically straight stitches alongside each other across the shape to fill in.
Cross Stitch is a term used to stitch designs on linen or fabrics to make pictures, ornaments or embellish clothing. Is it agricultural? If you use 100% linen to stitch on, I guess it could be.
Are you looking to knit /cast on? Using 2 needles; slip knot unto first needle and make a knit stitch into the slip knot, place that knitted stitch unto needle with first stitch (slip knot). Now you you have 2 stitches. continue this way until number of stitches wanted is achieved. Lynn
To frame a cross stitch project, first measure the finished piece and choose a frame that fits. Place the cross stitch in the frame, securing it with tape or pins. Make sure it is centered and straight before securing the back of the frame. Display your framed cross stitch proudly.
To create a cross stitch pin stitch for your project, start by threading a needle with a single strand of embroidery floss. Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric to the front at the starting point of your cross stitch. Then, make a small diagonal stitch over the intersection of the cross stitch, securing it in place. Finally, bring the needle back down through the fabric to the back and trim any excess floss.
I make coasters and greeting cards using cross-stitch inserts. Cross stitch is commonly used to decorate baby clothing, such a bibs and quilts. It is also used extensively on women's clothing on collars, sleeves, and necklines. Cross stitching is often used to accentuate seams on slacks and vests. An over-all cross stitch pattern is used to decorate placemats, table cloths, and bedspreads, and cross stitch wall hangings. It is also very popular on Christmas stockings and to accent gift items. Counted cross stitch has been around for centuries and young girls in the early 1800's used linen and thread to create samplers of words and sayings. There are samplers from young girls as young as eight or ten that are surfacing at antique auctions and drawing big bucks. Cross Stitch can be either counted (where you use a paper pattern and count the stitches onto Aida or Linens) or stamped cross stitch meaning it is stamped on a fabric and you stitch over the inked area.
To make a cross stitch keychain, you will need a small piece of cross stitch fabric, embroidery floss, a needle, a keychain ring, and scissors. Begin by choosing a simple cross stitch pattern and stitching it onto the fabric. Once you have completed the design, trim the excess fabric, leaving a border around the edges. Attach the keychain ring to the top of the fabric using a jump ring or by sewing it on securely. Your cross stitch keychain is now ready to use!
To prepare a cross stitch for framing, first iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles. Then, place the cross stitch in a frame with a mat board to keep it flat and secure. Make sure the fabric is centered and straight before securing it in the frame. Finally, add a backing board and secure everything in place before hanging or displaying the framed cross stitch.

To start a cross stitch project using the pin stitch method, first thread your needle with a single strand of embroidery floss. Then, bring the needle up from the back of the fabric at the starting point of your design. Next, make a small stitch on the front of the fabric and secure it with a pin. Finally, continue stitching your design as usual, making sure to cover the pin stitch with your cross stitches.
This is a symmetric knot called the Atlantic Knot. There are sequential images, or a video, at the related links below.
I take it that your problem with the slip knot is that it is too tight on the edge when the piece is finished. Yes, you must have a slip knot to start the work, but instead of counting that slip knot stitch as your stitch, simply add an extra stitch in the opposite direction and don't work the original slip knot. The advantage of this method is that the entire work will be an even edging without that annoying "pull" to the edge.So what to do with that dangly stitch? When you are done, untie the slip knot, and weave it into the selvage it is on. It eliminates the pull, hides the end, and you will be much happier with the results.The other option is to learn the double cast method of casting on. While it still involves a slip knot, it is at the other end of the row, and for me, it won't get too tight *because* it is at the other end. That is, I won't pull it too tight while I am knitting.
