* 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.
Most of the fabrics used in cross stitch are Aida or a finer linen so that is what we will be referring to in the definition. Fabric Count of even weave fabrics such as Aida or linen refers to the number of threads or squares per linear inch in the material. Common fabric counts of Aida range from 10 to 22 squares per inch. You will mostly see 12,14,16,18 in projects. The higher the count between inches, the smaller the stitch.
