Inspired by this charming memento of yesteryear, we created our own delightful book of cross stitch creations depicting the joys of Christmas from A to Z. A is for Angel adorning the tree.

Five strands of floss were used for Cross Stitch ond 2 strands for Backstitch and French Knots Needlework adaptation by Donna Vermillion Giampa and Jane Chandler. Working on Waste Canvas: Waste canvas Is a special canvas that provides an evenweave grid for placing stitches on fabric. After the design is worked over the canvas, the canvas threads are removed leaving the design on the fabric. The canvas is available in several mesh sizes. Cover edges of canvas with masking tape. Cut a piece of lightweight, non-fusible interfacing the same size as canvas to provide о firm stitching base. Find desired stitching area on sweatshirt and mark center of area with a pin. Match center of canvas to pin. Use the blue threads in canvas to place canvas straight on shirt; pin canvas to shirt Pin interfacing to wrong side of shirt. Baste all three thicknesses together as shown In Fig. 1. Place shirt in a screw type hoop. We recommend a hoop that is large enough to encircle entire design Using a sharp needle, work design, stitching from large holes to large holes. Trim canvas to within %" of design. Dampen canvas until it becomes limp. Pull out canvas threads one at a time using tweezers (Fig. 2). Trim interfacing close to design 87

Matching right sides and raw edges, pin stitched piece and backing fabric together Leaving top edge open, sew stitched piece and backing fabric together directly on drawn line; remove pins Trm top edge along drawn line. Trim seam allowance to 'Л" and clip curves; turn stocking right side out. Press top edge of stocking ’//' to wrong side. For lining, match right sides and raw edges of lining fabric; pin in place. Center pattern on wrong side of fabric; draw around pattern, Leaving top edge open, sew slightly inside drawn line,- remove pins. Trim top edge along drawn line; trim seam allowance close to stitching. Do not turn lining inside out. Press top edge of lining %" to wrong side] For hanger, press each long edge of fabric strip У3" to center Matching long edges, fold strip in half and sew close to folded edges. Matching short edges, fold hanger in half and whipsttch to Inside oft stocking at left seam. With wrong sides facing, place lining inside stocking; whipstitch lining to stocking 94
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS WORKING WITH CHARTS How to Read Charts: Each of the designs is shown in chart form. Each colored square on the chart represents one Cross Stitch or one Half Cross Stitch Each colored triangle on the chart represents one One-Quarter Stitch or one Three-Quarter Stitch Black or colored dots represent French Knots Colored ovals represent Lazy Daisy Stitches The black or colored straight lines on the chart indicate Backstitch When a French Knot, Lazy Daisy Stitch, or Backstitch covers a square, the symbol is omitted IEoch chart is accompanied by a color key This key indicates the color of floss to use for each stitch on the chart The headings on the color key are for Cross Stitch (X), DMC color number (DMC), Quarter Stitch (’ЛХ), Three-Quarter Stitch (3/4X), Half Cross Stitch (’/2X), and Backstitch (B'ST) Color key columns should be read vertically and horizontally to determine type of stitch and floss color Where to Start: The horizontal and vertical centers of each charted design ore shown by arrows You may start at any point on the charted design, but be sure the design will be centered on the fabric. Locate the center of fabric by folding in half, top to bottom and again left to right On the charted design, count the number of squares (stitches) from the center of the chart to where you wish to start Then from the fabric's center, find your storting point by counting out the same number of fabric threads (stitches) Quarter Stitch (’ЛХ and 3/дХ) Quarter Stitches are denoted by triangular shapes of color on the chart and on the color key. Come up at 1 (Fig. 5); then split fabric thread to go down at 2 When stitches 1-4 are worked in the same color, the resulting stitch is called a Three-Quarter Stitch (3/дХ). Fig. 6 shows the technique for Quarter Stitch when working over two fabric threads Lazy Daisy Stitch: Bring needle up at 1 and moke a loop Go down at 1 and come up at 2, keeping floss below point of needle (Fig. 12) Pull needle through and go down at 2 to anchor loop completing stitch (Note To support stitches, it may be helpful to go down in edge of next fabric thread when anchoring loop.) Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Fig. 12 Half Cross Stitch (V2X): This stitch is one journey of the Cross Stitch and is worked from lower left to upper right as shown in Fig. 7 When working over two fabric threads, work Half Cross Stitch as shown in Fig. 8 Fig. 7 Blanket Stitch: Bring needle up at 1, go down at 2 and come up at 3, keeping the floss below the point of the needle (Fig. 13). Continue working in this manner, going down at even numbers and coming up at odd numbers (Fig. 14). Fig. 8 STITCH DIAGRAMS Counted Cross Stitch (X): Work one Cross Stitch to correspond to each colored square on the chart. For horizontal rows, work stitches in two journeys (Fig. 1) For vertical rows, complete each stitch as shown (Fig. 2) When working over two fabric threads, work Cross Stitch as shown in Fig. 3 When the chart shows a Backstitch crossing a colored square (Fig. 4), a Cross Stitch should be worked first, then the Bockstitch (Fig. 9 or 10) should be worked on top of the Cross Stitch Backstitch (B'ST): For outline detail, Backstitch (shown on chart and on color key by black or colored straight lines) should be worked offer the design has been completed (Fig. 9) When working over two fabric threads, work Backstitch as shown in Fig 10 Fig. 9 Fig. 10 Flfl. 1 Fig. 2 French Knot: Bring needle up at 1 Wrap floss once around needle and insert needle at 2, holding end of floss with non-stitching fingers (Fig. 11) Tighten knot then pull needle through fabric, holding floss until it must be released For larger knot, use more strands, wrap only once Fig. 3 Fig. 11 Fig. 13 о OOOOCo 00000 0001Ю Fig. 14 OOOOOOl OOOOOOl oo< O' Attaching Beads: Refer to chart for bead placement and sew bead in place using a fine needle that will pass through bead Bring needle up at I, go down at 2 making a Half Cross Stitch (Fig. 15). Secure floss on back or move to next bead When working on perforated paper, sew bead in place as shown in Fig. 16 Fig. 15 Fig 16 Continued on page 96 95
STITCHING TIPS Working Over Two Fabric Threads: Use the sewing method instead of the stab method when working over two fabric threads To use the sewing method, keep your stitching hand on the right side of the fabric (instead pick up the needle). With the 3 you take the needle down of stnhhmg the fnhric with the needle and taking yoif stitching hand to the back of the fabric to i pick up the needle). With the sewing m and up with one stroke instead of two To add support to stitches, it is important that the first Cross Stitch is placed on the fabric witlj slitul I'Z’bsghnitiig und"CTidiiiy wlicio и vertical abric thread crosses over a hort^iel«fabric thread (Fig. 17). When the first* stitch }s in the correct position, the entire design wit be placed properly, with vertical fobjic thr^ids supporting each stitch i Working on Perforated Paper: Perforated paper has a right side and a wrong side The right side is smoother and stitching should be done on this side To find the center do not fold paper, use a ruler and mark lightly with a pencil or count holes Perforated paper will tear if handled roughly, lheiel'uie' I'io'IJ ТТ1В>цоег flat while stitching and do not use a hoop S^oin and end stitching by running floss undersh^ral stitches on back; never tie knots. Use Inb stab method when stitching and keep stitching tension consistent Thread pulled too- tightly-ffloy-lear-lhO' paper, Couy-fleeS' across back as little as possible JAR LID FINISHING For Jar lid use outer edge of jar lid for pattern and draw a circle on adhesive mounting board. Cutting slightly inside drawn line, cut out circle Using opening of jar lid for pattern, cut a circle of batting. Remove paper from adhesive board; center batting on adhesive board and press in place. Center stitched piece on batting and press edges onto adhesive board, cut edges close to board Glue board inside jar lid.
