The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

5. Make a counted cross-stitch of a quote with a border and frame it for hanging, using at least three different stitches.

[[AY Honors/Counted Cross Stitch/Requirements|Tab Name/Printable Version]]


1. Have a tote with cross-stitch materials, including at least one hoop, masking tape or Fra-check, needles, and scissors.

2. What is the difference between cross-stitching, counted cross-stitch, and embroidery?

3. Know at least four stitches used in counted cross-stitch.

4. Cross-stitch a simple object in three different sizes of aida cloth. Mount and label the size and name of aida cloth used, stating how many floss strands are to be used with each.


5. Make a counted cross-stitch of a quote with a border and frame it for hanging, using at least three different stitches.


6. Make at least a 5 x 7 inches (12.7 x 17.8 cm) counted cross-stitch on aida-14 of a nature scene.

Printable Answer Key Tab Name/Edit Answer Key


1

Have a tote with cross-stitch materials, including at least one hoop, masking tape or Fra-check, needles, and scissors.



2

What is the difference between cross-stitching, counted cross-stitch, and embroidery?



3

Know at least four stitches used in counted cross-stitch.


1. Cross stitch 2. Half stitch 3. Back stitch 4. French Knot


4

Cross-stitch a simple object in three different sizes of aida cloth. Mount and label the size and name of aida cloth used, stating how many floss strands are to be used with each.


Aida cloth is an open weave, even-weave fabric traditionally used for cross-stitch embroidery. This cotton fabric has a natural mesh that facilitates cross-stitching and enough natural stiffness that the crafter does not need to use an embroidery hoop.

Aida cloth is manufactured with various size spaces or holes between the warp and weft to accommodate different thicknesses of yarn. These are described by the count. For example, a 10-count aida cloth would have 10 squares per linear inch. Typical sizes are 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 22 count, ranked from the coarsest to the finest count. Traditional colours are white, ecru, or shades of tan and brown, although brighter colors are also available. Aida cloth is sold in precut sheets or in bolts of 40" - 60" width.

Aida cloth has a tendency to fray and often needs hemming before use. It should never be laundered prior to craft work and tends to contract 1/2" to 1/4" when the finished item is washed in soap and water. Hand washing improves the appearance of finished cross-stitching because Aida cloth naturally contracts in specific areas where it is embroidered.


5

Make a counted cross-stitch of a quote with a border and frame it for hanging, using at least three different stitches.



6

Make at least a 5 x 7 inches (12.7 x 17.8 cm) counted cross-stitch on aida-14 of a nature scene.
