Cross-stitching is a popular form of embroidery called counted-thread embroidery. In this form of embroidery, X-shaped stitches are used to form a picture. This art is usually done on easily countable even-weave fabric for accuracy and consistency. At times, cross-stitch is executed on designs printed on fabric. The stitcher simply needs to stitch over the printed design. Cross-stitch is one of the oldest forms of embroidery. It can be found all over the world. Museums often display clothing embroidered with cross-stitch from continental Europe and Asia. In the early years of cross-stitch, it was used for the purpose of embellishing items like dishcloths, household linens and doilies.
