Finding the Centre of the Fabric

Cross stitch is always started from the centre of the fabric, if you start stitching from the centre you know that your design will fit onto the fabric properly.

To find the centre of your fabric follow these steps:

Finding the Centre of the Chart

Once you have found the centre of your fabric you will need to find the centre of your design, this is marked on the chart with a red horizontal line and a red vertical line. Where these two lines cross in the middle is the centre of the design.

Have a look at the stitches that are at the centre of your chart and start working the ones closest to the centre of the chart onto your fabric.
