Long-Armed Cross

long-armed cross stitch for needlepoint

Rittenhouse Needlepoint, a new shop in Philadephia, put up a great post about this often neglected stitch.

In my stitching, I tend to use this stitch in it’s smaller form and then pretty much only for borders.

But I am intrigued by the idea of the larger version of the stitch and it ropey effect. I’m thinking it could be really cool stitched over an area of T Stitch so it wouldn’t look so undone.

I’m going to have to try that.
