CHAINED STITCHES
CHAIN STITCH:--Work the stitches towards you starting from the top of the lines. Insert the needle at the point from where it is brought out holding the thread down with y our thumb. Bring the needle point out a short distance ahead(front) and pull it through keeping the work thread under the needle the result is a loop. In starting the next stitch remember to insert the needle just inside the loop. This is used for making out--lines and filling large shapes.
CROSS STITCH:--This stitch is suitable to be applied on fabrics with small checks or thick yarns which can be counted to work. Cross stitch on closely woven fabrics, take thin canvas on to it before doing the embroidery. After the work is completed the yarns of the canvas can be pulled out leaving the embroidery directly on the fabric. stitches are worked diagonally from left to right or right to left along two parellel lines. After completing the first half of the crosses, work in the opposite direction filling in the second half of the crosses. If the design is irregular you can complete one cross at a time.
