Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery
in which X-shaped stitches are used to form a picture. Cross-stitch is
usually executed on easily countable evenweave fabric. The stitcher
counts the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of
uniform size and appearance. This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch. Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern.
