Materials to make your cross stitch embroidery

thick point needle

La needle The one used for cross stitch is the large point needle and it is different from the other needles. It has a particularity: it has a rounded tip and does not have a beak, so it does not pierce the fingers. It is always good to have at least two more needles in reserve, since, being very small, they tend to disappear easily.

aida fabric

It is a fabric very simple and the most used in cross stitch. Contains small squares that facilitate counting and embroidery. It is a fabric made of 100% cotton and with different wefts (space between the threads of the fabric), whose unit of measurement is the count. It can appear in 6, 8, 11, 14, 16, 18 and 20 and has to do with the holes that are formed in the weft (horizontal and vertical) of the fabric. The less you count, the wider the screen will be.

big scissors

The scissors large ones are only and exclusively for cutting the fabric, because that way it will have a longer useful life. It must be large because it is firmer to fulfill its function.

Threads

The Wireless to embroider in cross stitch are usually made of cotton. When the fabrics used for embroidery are thin, with a very dense weft, it is recommended to use 1 or 2 cord threads, but if the weft is spaced, 3 to 5 threads of the same cord are used. The more threads used, the more separated the crosswords will be, making the embroidery more delicate.

Small scissors

While with the big scissors you cut the fabrics, with the small and pointed scissors you will cut the threads. Its blade is very sharp and therefore this type of scissors cuts the lines much more easily.

Recorders

The graphics are the designs that will guide you in embroidery. You can find them in embroidery magazines or on websites. For beginning embroiderers, it's good to start with the simplest graphics and move on to more complex work as technique improves.

Stretched

Not all embroiderers use aros, but they are very useful and are great for fixing your fabric, thus allowing your embroidery to be more perfect. They are made of wood, plastic or metal and hold the fabric taut, allowing you to balance the tension of the thread.

Organizer box

The organizer box is a great tip to make your life easier. It will store the materials you use to embroider. Opt for boxes with dividers to help you even more in organizing your things.
