Trame Cross Stitch (Diagram 1):
To begin this stitch, we start with a series of foundation stitches. The foundation stitches may be resized to accomodate the area you are working. Bring the needle up at A, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. This complete the foundation stitches. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Trame Cross Stitch (Diagram 2):
Now we add the first part of the cross stitches over the foundation stitches. The cross stitches are illustrated in dark blue. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Trame Cross Stitch (Diagram 3):
Now we add the second part of the cross stitches over the foundation stitches. Beginning where we left off at F, bring the needle up at G, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Now, continue on to Diagram 4...
