Pull the needle through at the point marked TV. Qo down
one opening to the right, at ”B*. Come back up at *C“. Qo
down one opening to the right at TV.
Make short tight straight stitches across base to "couch* the
straight stitch. Come up on one side of the floss. Qo down on
the opposite side of the floss. See (2).
Tack at varying intervals. Completed Couched Straight Stitch.
Sec (3).
Buttonhole Stitch
Buttonhole stitches create a distinct pattern and are especially
effective on edges. There they serve as a tool for outlining as
well.

thread under needle. Continue for length of stitch, keeping
needle vertical.
Cross-stitch
Stitches arc done in a row or, if necessary, one at a time in an area.
Stitching is done by coming up through a hole between woven
threads at A. Then, go down at B, the hole diagonally across from
A. Come back up al C and down at D, etc See (1).
Complete the top stitches to create an All top stitches
should lie in the same direction. Come up at F and go down at F.
come up at Q and go down at H, etc See (2J.
Centering the Design
Fold the fabric in half horizontally, then vertically. Place a pin
in the fold point to mark the center Locate the center of the
design on the graph. Begin stitching all designs at the center
point of graph and fabric.
Cleaning Completed Work
When stitching is complete, soak fabric in cold waler wilh a
mild soap for five Io 10 minutes. Rinse well and roll in a towel
to remove excess waler. Do not wring. Place work face down
on a dry towel and iron on warm setting until the fabric is dry

Seed).
Cross-stitch, Half
The stitch actually fits three-fourths of the area. Make the
longer stitch in direction of the slanted line on the graph.
Bring needle and thread up al A, down at B, up at C. and
down at D.
Fabrics & Waste Canvas
Cross-stitch is usually worked on even-weave fabrics
specifically manufactured for counted thread needlework.
These fabrics are woven with the same number of vertical
and horizontal threads per inch.
Because the number of threads in the fabric is equal in each
direction, each stitch will be the same size. The number of
threads per inch in even-weave fabrics determines the size of a
finished design.
Waste canvas is a coarse, fabric-like substance used as a guide
for cross-stitching on fabrics other than even-weaves. Cut the
waste canvas Г larger on all sides than the finished design
size. Baste it Io the fabric to be stitched. Complete the stitching.
Then, dampen the stitched area with cold water. Pull the
waste canvas threads out one at a time with tweezers. It is
easier to pull all the threads running in one direction first, then
pull out the opposite threads. Allow the stitching to dry. Place
face down on a towel and iron.
126
Floss & Carrying Floss
Six-strand embroidery floss is normally used for cross-stitch.
For each graphed design there is a color code. All numbers
and color names on this code represent PMC brands of floss.
The number of strands used for cross-stitching is determined
by the thread count of the fabric. See project instructions for
suggested strand amounts.
Use IHM lengths of floss. For best coverage, separate slrands.
Dampen with wet sponge. "Then put together number of
strands required for fabric used.
Го carry floss, weave floss under the previously worked stitches
on the back. Do not carry thread across any fabric that is not
or will not be stitched. Loose threads, especially dark ones, will
show through the fabric.
French Knot
Bring needle up at A using two slrands of embroidery floss.
Loosely wrap floss once around needle. Sec (I).
Place needle at B, next to A Pull floss taut and push needle
down through fabric. See (2). Carry floss across back of work
between knots.
Completed French Knot. See (3J.
Lazy Daisy
Bring the needle up at A. Keep the thread flat, untwisted, and
full. Put the needle down through fabric at В and up through
at C, keeping the thread under the needle to form a loop. Pull
the thread through, leaving the loop loose and full. To hold the
loop in place, go down on other side of thread near C, forming
a straight stitch over loop. See (1).
Completed Lazy Daisy, See (2J.
Marking on Fabric
Always use a dressmaker s pen or chalk to mark on fabric. It
will wash out when piece is finished.
Needles
Use a #24 or #26 tapestry needle for all designs in this book.
Never leave needle in design area of fabric. It may leave rust
or a permanent impression on fabric.
Patterns
Use tracing paper to Irate patterns. Be sure to transfer all
information,
Preparing Fabric
Cut fabric at least 3й larger on all sides than finished design
size to ensure enough space for desired assembly. If the design
is used to embellish a project that will be finished further,
check instructions for specific fabric allowances. A 3” margin is
the minimum amount of space that allows for comfortably
finishing the edges of the design.
To prevent fraying, machine-zigzag or hand-stitch along raw
edges of the fabric, or apply liquid fray preventer.
Securing the Floss
Insert needle up from the underside of the fabric at starling
point. Hold I' of thread behind the fabric and stitch over it,
securing with the first few stitches. To finish thread, run under
four or more stitches on the back of the design. Never knot
floss, unless working on clothing.
Another method of securing floss is the waste knot. Knot floss
and insert needle from the right side of the fabric about Г from
design area. Work several stitches over the thread to secure. Cut
off the knot later.
Slip-stitch
Insert needle at A, taking a small stitch and slide it through
the folded edge of fabric about Xй to X*', bring needle out at B.
Smyrna Cross
Work a cross-stitch. Work an upright cross-stitch on top. they
may be done in a different color.
Smyrna Cross, Elongated
Work a cross-stitch. Work an upright cross-stitch, making F
elongated. They may be done in a different color.

2. Position design in the lower left corner of
afghan, X" from the inner decorative woven line on
the left-hand side of the second row of squares and
X1' from the inner decorative woven lines on the
bottom of the second row of squares. This provides
one row of unstitched squares al the left and
bottom of the design.

stitches and 2 strands for the backstitches.
4. Sew small zigzag line 2%" to the outside of the
outer decorative woven line from the design and
continuing around the afghan, allowing five full
squares by seven full squares on the inside of
the afghan.
5. Trim the afghan so that there are the
maximum but same number of threads on the sides
and top and bottom from the inside zigzag line.
6. Fringe to zigzag lines. Using an overhand
knot, tie fringe in groups of six threads. Al the
corners use three threads from each side. If some
compensation is necessary in the number of threads
per tie, do this several ties from the corners.
