The basic supplies you need to start cross stitch project

How to start a project (setting up your hoop, threading your needle, where to start)

The basic techniques of cross stitch (starting new colors, how to stitch, how to end a color)

And how to finish off a project so it's ready to hang, display, or give to a loved one

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Kelsey Miklos

Kelsey is the gal behind CK Cross Stitch. Several years ago she traded her knitting needles and yarn for a beginner cross stitch kit and never looked back. She has been creating her own kits, patterns, and custom items ever since (www.ckcrossstitch.etsy.com).

When she's not cross stitching or working her day job as a marketing and development manager for a local nonprofit Kelsey is probably drinking coffee while still thinking about cross stitch. It's an obsession, really.

I was very excited to try cross stitching. Our instructor was very welcoming, funny, and had exceptional knowledge related to cross stitching. Being a beginner, I was worried even this would be too difficult, but it was not. I enjoyed the company and the activity. Thank you!
