How to do the Cretan Stitch - 4 Stitch Variations for Beginners

The threads and fabrics for the Cretan stitch and its variations are virtually unlimited. Choose a weight and tensile strength of the thread appropriate for the background fabric, stitch size, and visual effect desired. It’s easier to work the Cretan stitch on evenweave fabrics because you can follow the individual fabric threads to keep the stitches in proper alignment; good choices are evenweave linen and canvas. ------------------ Courses: 🦋 Introduction to Contemporary Cross Stitch: https://www.domestika.org/en/courses/1802-introduction-to-contemporary-cross-stitch?atag=969d35&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=ihandworks_969d35 ------------------ Amazon: DMC Embroidery Floss Kit(UK): https://amzn.to/3BKDeFl DMC Embroidery Floss Kit(USA): https://amzn.to/3BjrkRr ------------------ CraftiWorks: https://www.youtube.com/c/craftiworks ------------------ Music: Track Info: Gently - AShamaluevMusic Music Link: https://www.patreon.com/ashamaluevmusic
