GIANT FILESIZE AND IMAGE!
Promised myself I wouldn't make this tutorial so long. Opps.
Cross-stitching is quite simple. Don't let the length of this tutorial scare you D: It got longer as I added in the tips :c
I was surprised to see there wasn't much cross-stitchers on dA. Even more when I saw there wasn't a lot of tutorials on this D:
This tutorial covers the basics of it.
I started cross stitching around early 8th or late 7th grade when my mom got into it. c: She used to be a fashion designer, so she was good at sewing. Most of what I wrote in the tutorial was taught to me by my mom ^^ She is awesome. c:
Enjoy~Oh, PS:
Thank you for the support, favs, comments. I haven't gone through all of them (I have some from the start of May!) but I promise I'll be looking through and replying to them today.
Thank you so much, and I really mean it.

Ahh...I once had a mini kit that had really hard fabric and plastic needles with the blunt ends. I was too young to understand the instructions, so I blindly tried to do it myself. I could never knot it properly.
PHAILED.
But your tutorial looks REALLY helpful!! So I'm going to try cross stiching again after...a long time xD You're so inspirational!!

I used to cross stitch a lot.
Now I want to get back into it!
I should try using half stitches and "mismatches" ^^

You should! :]
Half stitches are pretty awesome to create a "sketch" effect on your work c:

I think I only ever attempted cross-stitching once... It was Winnie the Pooh.
Maybe I'll try again....

I think that's why I stopped. I just never had enough free time to be doing it... Maybe I'll try some this summer.
And thanks for the tutorial! I forgot most of what I knew....

Sure thing~
Le gasp D: You're right Miss Cori, it's been a million billion years!(haha, I'm gonna stop calling you Miss because we're tight like peas in a pod x3;;; )
As much as I don't want too.. something about having that white stripe there just tempts me :C

(psh I know rite? >:] )
I heard there's a spray you can buy for your nails that tastes horrible D: So everytime you subconciously bite your nails (from habit or whatnot), you'll be like "eww this tastes horrible" and stop c:
Or you can use something else like... lemons or something D: Except those aren't too awesome for your nails.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
>3
Oh? I should look into buying myself some.
What I hate most about biting off my nails is not the icky apperence, but when you accidently rip too much off or get some skin in the corner and end up with a painful wound ;n;
Lemons are bad for your nails :000 ? I didn't know that;;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
:C owwie.
Lemons are pretty acidic, so they're probably not too awesome for your nails D: Although I did hear they help whiten nails.
