It’s also one of the easiest! It’s just sewing stitches in the form of Xs. Cross-stitch came to America from Europe and quickly became part of what every girl was required to learn. The most popular form was a sampler: a piece of embroidered fabric that cross-stitching to illustrate alphabets and numbers as well as houses, flowers, and even people. Stitchers often created their own motifs that would repeat in the pattern. Learn all about American cross-stitch, see some samplers, and learn how to cross stitch a picture yourself!
