Use Threads list (Stitch and Color bar) to set the stitch density. |
You can adjust the density of any cross stitch by stitching it once, twice or three times. The number of ‘crossovers’ correspond to the values 2, 4 and 6 in the Threads list. You can change these values at any time.
If you make a design smaller to fit inside the hoop, stitches may be stacked on top of each other and pull the fabric. You can avoid this problem by reducing the number of crossovers to single (2 threads) for both fills and outlines. You can also use a thinner weight thread.
Tip If you cross stitch a design where every square has a stitch, remember to baste and stabilize the fabric.
Select a value from the Threads list.
The value 2 corresponds to a single stitch, 4 is double, while 6 is triple. This is represented on screen by line thickness.
When you move your mouse over the stitch, a tool tip will tell you the type and color of stitch used.
