To perform work it is important to know the technique of embroidery with a cross. It is important that each embroiderer chooses from a huge number of "crosses" is the one that is convenient for her directly: the cross is sparse, oblique, two-row, two-sided in two or four folds. Much depends on what should happen in the end result. For embroidery panels, tracks, napkins use the technique of embroidering a double cross.

Embroidery can be done either from the bottom up with horizontal rows or vertically. In the process of embroidery, embroidery techniques are sometimes used with diagonal rows.

Technologies of this century allow you to choose the necessary tools, materials for embroidery and purchase them, without leaving a warm and cozy home. The mass of online stores offers the widest assortment of cross-stitch kits. Therefore, try, learn, and everything will necessarily happen.

Each of the needlewomen embroider in their own way. Someone at the time of embroidery holds a cloth on his hands, someone uses a hoop to fasten the fabric, allowing it to stretch better, while others prefer to use a frame for cross stitching.

Frames for cross-stitching are wooden and plastic. They allow you to evenly stretch the fabric on the entire surface without stretching and not fixing it. It is worth noting that on the frame the area of the visible surface is much larger than on the hoop.

If you place the frame on the holder, you can get a machine that allows you to embroider, releasing one of the hands from holding the hoop. Embroidery is carried out with both hands. This is very important if you are using a triptych embroidery. By triptych is understood a work of art, which consists of three components, united by a single artistic theme, idea or plot. Cross-stitch "triptych" can be made out only in the form of a single baguette, but also in the form of three different pictures. They are quite original fit in the interior and do not need additions. Thus, any, the most complex and voluminous embroidery cross (triptych, chosen by you) when framed, is performed much faster.

At a standard height (30 cm), the width of the frames can vary from 30 to 60 cm. It is also important that the "triptych" embroidery can be executed on a self-made frame, the dimensions of which will be set to your original fabric. Cross-stitching (a triptych is not an exception) on the frame is much faster and more convenient, but the frame, along with the merits, has its drawbacks.

The canvas can be sewn to the fabric, which is on the slats of the frame, located horizontally. The fabric is sewn exactly in the horizontal, and, therefore, perfectly stretched. There is an opinion that the braid can stretch over time and form waves.

Canva can be attached to special frames with clips. This makes it possible to remove the canvas from the frame. It is worth noting that the canvas can not always be fixed exactly. If an embroidery is done with a cross (triptych or any other work), the canvas can be fastened not only horizontally, but also vertically. It all depends on your preferences.

Cross-stitch embroidery (triptych too) is sold in a ready-made set. It includes a diagram, a canvas of the required size, a sufficient number of threads of the right colors and a needle. If you want, you can choose what will decorate your house.
