Thinking about trying Cross Stitch but not sure where to start? Cross Stitch is such a fun and easy hobby and it doesn't take long to get the hang of it.

It is, however, much easier shown in video than explained in words! This free video tutorial covers:
  • How to prepare your needle and thread
  • Where to start stitching
  • How to make your first stitch (and how to carry on stitching!)
  • How to read the pattern and move around the design
  • How to display your design in a hoop and finish it off

This video will give you all the basics to get started with cross stitching and you can also download the pattern and kit list required to make this design below.

P.S If you need some help on the kit you need for cross stitchthen check out my post on the essentials you need to get stitching.

Awesome tutorial! Even though I have watched many video's on the subject, your presentation was just the right pace. One thing, you did not say how many strands thread to use. Otherwise, great job!

I can’t believe you didn’t say you always find the proper center of your fabric by folding the fabric in half and I half again. You always use 2 strands of floss in 14ct aida
