How to use Aida with a printed background and a marker test for cross stitch.
It may seem that the flower pattern PDF will be one of the easiest to cross stitch. In addition to hibiscus, sunflower and rose patterns, you can choose paintings for embroidery with still life, in which plants are combined with baskets, vases, butterflies and doors. If you get bored with flowers, you can focus on other still life themes, among which the "Golden Monstera" reigns. In our offer you can choose from real culinary recipes to be embroidered, appetizing dishes, as well as glasses and interesting dream catchers. If the last of the above-mentioned ones especially appeal to your taste, direct your attention to ethnic paintings for embroidery, including patterns from Lowicz or the "Scandinavian heart". Ethnic pictures for embroidery will be especially suitable for ecological interiors. If you are still looking for something different or more detailed and colorful, choose patterns for embroidery with landscapes. It is worth combining them with the nautical motifs of ships, ports, beaches and sunsets, or with the figures of colorful passers-by walking under umbrellas.
PDF cross stitch patterns can be used as classic cross stitch patterns to print on your own printer. Of course, to open them, a program for opening PDF files, such as Acrobat Reader, will be useful. However, cross stitch patterns do not have to be printed at all. They can be opened on a computer, tablet or phone screen. In addition, they can also be opened by the Coricamo Cross Stitch application, where it is possible to conveniently display them on phone or tablet. Thanks to this, we do not use paper and we are more eco-friendly.
Cross stitch is an embroidery technique that uses different symbols to represent different thread colors and backstitch lines. Reading the symbols in cross stitching can be a little difficult at first, but it gets easier over time.
Here are some basic tips for reading symbols in cross stitching:
- cross stitch scheme - the cross stitch pattern is presented in the form of a graphic scheme, which consists of a grid marked with symbols. Each symbol represents a different thread color.
- pattern legend - the cross stitch scheme contains a legend that shows the symbols used in the project and assigns specific thread colors to them. Check the legend for the meanings of each symbol.
- colored symbols - symbols in the diagram are represented by colored dots or signs. In the Coricamo cross stitch patterns, the colors of the symbols correspond to the colors of the embroidery threads.
- lines (backstitch) - a stitch behind the needle, which should be sewn with the appropriate color of the thread after completing cross stitching.
