In the Photograph:
The free cross stitch alphabet, "Alphabet 03," is stitched on 18-count Aida over two threads. I used DMC floss:
- 3 strands for cross stitches
- 1 strands for backstitches
Description: Block letters, standard/straight
Characters Included:
- Upper Case Letters
- Numbers
- Punctuation
Height:
The upper case letters are 4 stitches high.
Width:
These letters have varying widths. When possible, both wide and narrow versions of some letters are provided. These should help you squeeze text into shorter lines or expand into longer ones.
Stitch Complexity:
- Full cross stitches
- 1/4 stitchesand/or 3/4 cross stitches
- Backstitches
For the partial stitches that make up the angles, you can use either 1/4 cross stitches, letting the backstitch outline complete it, or, use 3/4 cross stitches with the outline for a fuller look.
The fabric and the floss strand count will affect your choice for each project. If you are uncertain, try stitching a few sample letters in the corner of your fabric.
Learn any unfamiliar stitches by clicking on the appropriate links above or on the "How To..." button on the left navigation menu.
Floss:
Change the floss color to reflect your tastes and to coordinate with the rest of your project. Use the same number of strands that you are using throughout the rest of your cross stitch pattern.
