MK on embroidery of paintings with a cross
If you are the first time embroidering a picture, choose simple and small copies. Earlier on our site we already described the correct sequence of embroidery.
Sometimes in patterns and descriptions of sets, various types of stitches are indicated, such as single, half crosses, stalk stitches and so-called French knots.
Let's try to deal with some of them. And the simplest stitch is a single cross. It is most often found in embroidery schemes.
Such a cross is obtained after two diagonal stitches performed in equal sequence. It is necessary that the whole picture looks smooth and beautiful. For example, we make a diagonal stitch from left to right, then from right to left.

Whichever way you embroider a picture, fix the thread on the back of the canvas so that it is held by the next stitches. Nodules in embroidery are unacceptable, because they make the painting uneven.
Sometimes in the scheme there are half stitches or ¾ stitches. They are performed quite simply, so do not rush to panic. That's how they look after they're done. Also below is a variation of a half stitch made from the corner of the cage to the center.
