Five Basic Stitches Used in Cross Stitch Embroidery: Step three
Learn how to stitch a quarter stitch by
following a diagram.
Here's How:
This diagram represents a square of Aida fabric. To stitch a
quarter stitch, bring the threaded tapestry needle up at 1.
To complete the stitch, bring the threaded tapestry needle
down at 2, through the center of the square. Quarter stitches
may be stitched from any corner of the Aida square.
Tips:
Use a smaller size needle when stitching quarter stitches.
Do not pierce the fibers in the center of the square. Wiggle
the needle to shift the fibers and slip the needle between
them.
