Cross-stitch is the oldest form of embroidery and can be found all over the world. Many folk museums show examples of clothing decorated with cross-stitch, especially from continental Europe and Asia.
Cross-stitch has been found in needlework pieces as early as the 6th or 7th century.
It has been used as a basic decorative stitch all over the world, especially in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Different folk cultures have developed their own pattern and color traditions and they are passed on from mother to child.
Cross-stitch has been used for tapestries, wall hangings, decorative window coverings, upholstery, and for folk costumes.
Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture. Cross-stitch is often executed on easily countable evenweave fabric called aida cloth. The stitcher counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch. Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern.
Nowadays, cross-stitch is a great hobby for people as it is a relaxing, creative and enjoyable pastime.The projects you complete, whether from a kit or your own designs, will make great decorative items for the home and wonderful presents for friends and family.
