Needlecrafts, Sewing, Crafts: Elias Howe? |
 | | Cross stich is usually executed on easily countable evenweave fabric, or more rarely on non-countable fabric, on which a countable fabric is aplied that is removed later, by drawing out every thread of it under the embroidery. |
| | This form of cross stich is also called counted cross stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross stich. |
| | All those stiches are rarely used in mainstream embroidery, but they are still used to recreate historical pieces of embroidery or by the creative and adventurous sticher. |
