How to Stitch Laced Cross Stitch - Cross Stitch Variation

To stitch a laced cross stitch, you will need the following supplies:

• short length of six-strand embroidery floss
• tapestry needle
• Aida fabric
• scissors
• hoop, optional

If you are using a hoop, place the fabric in the hoop. Thread the needle with one or two strands of floss.

You may want to begin the stitch with a waste knot. Bring the needle up in the lower left hand corner of an Aida square and take it upward to the top left corner of the square. Do not pull this stitch tight. You will need to be able to slip the needle under it.
