How To Baby Cross Stitch

Hi! My name is Aliza from Seam So Easy, www.seamsoeasy.com.

I have been sewing for fifteen years and today I am going to show you some stitches. Today, I am going to show you how to do a baby cross stitch. If you want to do any embroidery, cross stitch embroidery on a baby's outlet, you will do things like teddy bears and horses, and rabbits and chicken, that sort of things and these are a few of them.

I have done one here which is a teddy bear that I showed here, done on the cross stitch. So what you will do either cut that out and click it on to the material or do it on the material itself. Again, the patterns will be given on either in symbols or in a color chart.

But normally, they are given in symbols. So that it's the teddy bear with the balloons and this is the chart for that and it's all in symbols and each of these symbols will represent a color that they have given. Here, it says pale blue for the "b", and which is there, and shell pink for the little open circles and that balloon is also shell pink.

So what you do is just follow the pattern. On the pattern you also find that there is a grid like that and each of these squares is somehow divided into ten squares. Now when you fold the material, and start from the center, you find that you don't need the grid.

But if you start from the outside then you find that you need the grid and you have to mark the grid on the material. So you would use a marker pen, pencil and draw the lines and the grid. So if you want to start there, that would be one, two, three, third square .

So that would be thirty stitches there and you start, on the thirtieth square, and you come down also eight, suggest come close down. That will be the eight one. So you start there but you should and it's much easier to start from the center of the pattern and then work your way out.

That way, you don't miss out stitches. .
