Do You Do Cross Stitch? Is It REALLY THAT HARD TO LEARN?
If you already cross stitch, you know this. You know how hard it is to find the right patterns and to use the right materials for your projects. You know that using aida, rather than linen, can produce a pattern that looks quite different—but you may be unsure when to use either.
You might also know that various fabrics used for cross stitching have different thread counts, but you may be unfamiliar with the process for choosing a specific thread count for your project.
You may also have a hard time representing patterns in your head. While some people can consistently churn out creative, intricate patterns, you struggle to come up with a picture and often have to resort to pre-made templates.
Several hundred years ago, anyone who cross-stitched was taught by another cross-stitcher face-to-face. You, on the other hand, might do all of your cross stitching alone, without the help of anyone else. Even if you learn quickly from reading, this puts you at a serious disadvantage.
Last, you may find that cross stitching is an expensive hobby. While it doesn't require a massive initial investment, it can get quite expensive if you are producing larger, higher-quality pieces, which incorporate intricate bead work and expensive flosses.
So how can you overcome these disadvantages and problems with your hobby? How can you begin producing higher-quality stitching while cleanly integrating more creative ideas—all while saving money (or making it)?
