Cross Stitch and Needlework Blog
All the time we have been running this website, we have been collecting lots of useful info on cross stitching and needlework, so we have decided to put it all up here so everyone can benefit. You will find all sorts of things on here from conversion charts to tips for left handed stitchers!DMC thread or floss is very popular with cross stitchers and although DMC themselves do not sell to consumers directly. There are now several hundred different colour shades within the DMC range.

A good guide to which hand actually holds the needle is to use your strongest hand for this purpose, that is the hand you write with. There are lots of left handed people but as they are well aware, most directions for any form of craft are aimed mainly at people that are right handed.
Having spent some time completing your cross stitch project, it is now the time to begin the process of preserving this piece of work.
