What is a "cross-stitch"?
A cross-stitch is a type of embroidery stitch that forms an X shape on fabric. It is created by making two diagonal stitches that cross each other in the center, covering a single square of the fabric's grid. This stitch is often used in patterns to build up designs and create detailed images or text. It provides a clear, uniform appearance and is commonly used in counted-thread embroidery techniques.
