Chapter 1 : Introduction to BERNINA Cross StitchCHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION TO BERNINA CROSSSTITCHCross stitching is a popular technique for filling largeareas with low stitch counts. It can also be used foroutlines and borders. It is suitable for homeware,tablecloths, children’s clothes and folk designs. Crossstitch is sometimes combined with appliqué.Unlike machine embroidery where designs are enhancedwith different stitch types, angles, and effects, in crossstitch you can only add dimension to the design withshades of colors. For this reason, most cross stitchdesigns use many more colors than machineembroidery.This section provides an overview of the various crossstitch types.Types of cross stitchCross stitch fillsCross stitches are created on a matrix of squares or‘pixels’. Any part of the square can be stitched, fromthe edges to the diagonals. The full range of crossstitches is listed below.Full CrossUpright CrossThree-Quarter CrossDouble CrossHalf CrossElongated VerticalCrossQuarter CrossElongated HorizontalCrossMini CrossSingle LineWhen using cross stitch as a fill you can select fromany of the cross stitch fill types.Full cross stitchFull cross stitches are made up of two equal-lengthstitches that cross at the center to form an X. Theoverall effect of the fill depends on which stitch in theX lies underneath or on top. You can also mix andmatch for special effects.Full cross stitchpatternFrench knotThree-quarter cross stitchA three-quarter stitch is most often created bystitching a quarter stitch followed by a half stitch.

Use mini cross stitch for detailssuch as eyes or for a denser look in parts of yourdesign.Mini cross stitchpatternMixtures of quarter and a three-quarter stitchesHalf cross stitchA half stitch is simply a diagonal stitch that looks like/ or like \. Half stitches are usually used for shadowsand background shading. The stitch can start fromany corner. Sometimes two half stitches of differentcolors are used to make one full cross stitch.Half cross stitchpatternUpright cross stitchUpright cross stitches are comprised of a vertical andhorizontal stitch.The stitches can be worked diagonally across thecanvas, or in a horizontal or vertical line.Upright cross stitch patternHalf cross can go in either direction depending on theeffect you want to achieve. For example, half crossused to represent feathers would slant in the directionof the feathers themselves.Double cross stitchDouble cross stitch is two full cross stitches stitchedat 90º on top of each other.

Try them with colorful metallic or variegatedthreads. French knots are better sewn in larger grids.Cross stitch bordersCross stitch can be used as an embroidery outline orborder. You can also combine cross stitching withother stitch types to achieve special effects.You can make outlines with Single Line or Full Crossstitches or a combination of both for a denser border.A Single Line outline is treated by the software as aborder while a Full Cross outline is treated as a fill.This is important if you need to delete a borderbecause a single line can be deleted as a single objectwhile a full cross stitch border cannot.Single line borderElongated cross stitchSingle Line stitches are only used to create borders orElongated cross stitch consists of two equal-lengthadd details.

You can change this by changing the Fillstitch type.Full cross borderCross stitch variationsFrench knots can be used in combination with othercross-stitch types. Use them for eyes, door knobs,dots for flower pistils, or in place of beads used inhand-work designs – e.g. ornaments on a Christmastree or to dot letters such as ‘i’. Use them as an outlineThe orientation of fractional cross stitches can bevaried to create different patterning effects. You dothis directly pixel-by-pixel, or by setting a fill stitchorientation. You can also combine fractional crossstitches in a variety of ways. See also Types of crossstitch.BERNINA Cross Stitch : Reference Manual3
