1. Prepare materials and tools

Embroidered pattern: select the pattern or image to be embroidered and transfer it to the embroidered cloth. Use software that prints drawings or embroidery patterns to transfer patterns.

Embroidered cloth: Choose suitable embroidered cloth, generally AIDA cloth with obvious grid lines or other embroidered cloth specially used for cross stitch.

Embroidery thread: choose embroidery thread, the most commonly used is cotton thread, and you can choose different colors of thread according to the needs of the pattern.

Embroidery needle: choose an embroidery needle suitable for thread number and fabric. Generally speaking, a smaller embroidery needle will pass through the cloth more easily.

Woven cloth

Straighten the cloth: put the embroidered cloth on the embroidered frame or fix it with the embroidered frame to ensure the smooth surface of the cloth.

Find the starting point: find the starting point from the center of the pattern or the position where you need to start.

Start embroidery

Tie the knot and fix the thread: embroider from the back and make a summary and fix the thread.

Full needle embroidery: Full needle embroidery is a basic cross-stitch embroidery method. The way to thread the needle is to go out from the back of the cloth, then go to the next intersection obliquely, and then go back to the back of the cloth in the opposite direction to form a cross. Make sure that the stitches at the intersection are in the same order, which will make the embroidery look more neat.

Embroidery according to the pattern: according to the color and shape of the pattern, choose the lines of the corresponding color for embroidery. Starting from the center of the pattern, it gradually extends outward.

4. Complete embroidery

Thread handling: When the thread runs out or needs to be changed in color, hide the thread on the back of the cloth or use some special thread handling skills to fix the thread.

Cleaning and protection: After the embroidery is finished, you can gently wipe it with a wet cloth, then flatten the embroidery under the book or use a special embroidery protective sleeve for protection.

Precautions:

Selection of embroidery needle: choose the appropriate embroidery needle according to the size and number of lines of the pattern.

Keep the thread clean and tidy: make sure that the thread is not too long to avoid entanglement, and pay attention to handling the thread in time when embroidery, so as not to damage the beauty of embroidery.

Attention to detail: Try to keep the stitches neat and consistent when embroidering, and pay attention to the crossing of lines and the handling of details.

The above are the basic steps and precautions of all-needle embroidery. Cross stitch needs patience and care. After practice, you will gradually master the skills and create beautiful embroidery.
