Heavy Cross Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Heavy Cross Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at F, bring the needle up at G, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. bring the needle up at K, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at L. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Heavy Cross Stitch (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how heavy cross stitches are worked into each other. We have demonstrated this stitch using straight stitches that are six canvas threads long. However, the size may be adjusted to suit the needs of almost any piece. Be sure to keep the lengths at a workable length. If they are too long, your piece will snag.
