* indicates required. The Linen and Threads' Cross Stitch Corner Gauge is a new cross stitch tool to help you determine where to start stitching. The wooden corner gauge measures 3 square and has 3 starting points (2, 2 1/2 and 3) depending upon your framing allowance. Mark your starting spot with a pin and you are ready to begin stitching your project.
In Cross Stitch it is important that the top leg of the stitch always runs in the same direction. This gives an attractive surface to reflect the light. If you stitch a row of the bottom legs, completing the crosses with the top legs on the return it is called 'Danish' Cross Stitch. Partial stitches come in three kinds half-stitch, quarter-stitch, and three-quarter-stitch. They're very handy for detail work, shading, and rounding shapes to avoid the stair-step look.
