How do you sew cross stitch?

Cross stitch is created by making a series of angled stitches that form an "X".

Cross Stitch Basics:

Angled Stitches: The foundation of cross stitch lies in creating angled stitches.
Top and Bottom Entry: You enter the fabric at the top of where your stitch will be. According to the video reference, the needle comes out at the bottom of the angled stitch (0:28).
Starting the Next Stitch: The exit point of your first stitch is also where you will begin the next (0:28).

First Half of the 'X': Bring your needle up through the fabric at one corner of your stitch area (typically the bottom-left).
Complete the Half: Insert the needle down diagonally, creating your first angled stitch. According to the video reference, it is best to come down at the bottom (0:28).
Second Half of the 'X': Next, bring your needle up at the opposite corner (bottom-right).
Finishing the 'X': Insert your needle down at the starting corner, completing the cross. You would then start at the top of the stitch for the next stitch, as demonstrated in the video (0:28).

Consistent Tension: Maintain even tension for consistent stitches.
Direction Matters: Ensure all your top stitches are going in the same direction for a neat finish.
Use a Hoop: A hoop will help keep the fabric taut, making it easier to sew.
