Different cross-stitching techniques

In this tutorial we will discuss and look at different cross-stitch techniques. Traditionally there are two ways to cross stitch, the English technique and; Danish technique. The English method is ideal for doing it when you’re using the parking method of working across your pattern. It is also often the easier method to use when handling confetti stitches (random scattered stitches of one color across your pattern). The Danish method is ideal for working in big blocks of color, as you can go in one direction then back (ending up at the beginning of the next row or column). It is perfect if you like using the sewing method, or sewing in hand without a hoop or a frame.
