If you are time poor or just impatient then you will love this video tutorial where DMC shows you how to speed up your chart creation time. The video shares a new stitch called a Half Cross stitch. This stitch looks great and takes you guessed it Half the time. Perfect for large projects or mass production for commercial sales. Check out the video and learn how to speed up your stitching times.
Due to the fact that I’m not familiar with working on Aida cloth, I was looking forward to watching this video. What a disappointment to only be able to see a couple of stitches worked, and then have to sit for the rest of the 8 minutes, having to have to watch the woman work on her pattern!! It would have been better if she had at least worked on a row of the pattern, then showed how to turn, and finish off your color, instead of just doing a long shot of her working on her pattern.
Half cross stitch only works on fine weaves like 32 or 36 count
