About this guide
A little gift from me to you. These eight printable pages are the cheat sheets I keep beside my own hoop, the answers I look up again and again.
Inside you'll find a fabric count chart (aida, evenweave and linen, with the right strands and needle for each), a quick lookup of finished design sizes, a needle and floss guide, step-by-step diagrams for the full cross, half, quarter and three-quarter stitches, backstitch, French knots and long stitch, how to start and end threads without knots, and a skein estimate table so you know how much floss to buy before you start.
Print it, pin it to your project bag or keep it on your tablet. It comes in US Letter and A4. If you'd like the full, friendly walk-through, it's an excerpt of my Cozy Beginner's Guide to Cross Stitch.
