Cross Stitch is a relaxing, and fun activity. It is one of the easiest and most popular stitching techniques used today. It compromises a series of X's, which are stitched on a piece of fabric to create a design. Each individual cross stitch is made up of two diagonal stitches; a bottom stitch and a top stitch that together form an X.

There are two types of cross stitches, counted cross stitch and stamped cross stitch.

•Counted Cross Stitch is the most popular cross-stitch and requires the stitcher to refer to a chart, which indicates where the X's should be placed on the fabric, and what color they should be.

•Stamped Cross Stitch has the design already printed on the fabric, indicating where the Xs should be placed.
