Essential cross-stitching supplies

Cross-stitch gets its name from the X-shaped stitches sewn into a fabric of grids to create images and words. Shops on Etsy offer all the craft’s essential tools and materials including: Needles to pull floss or thread through canvas to create intricate, whimsical art Scissors and shears to cut fabric and trim threads, mistakes, bad stitches, and stubborn knots Hoops, frames, and stands on which to mount and display cross-stitch masterpieces

Helpful cross-stitch tools

Other tools that may make cross-stitching easier include: Needle threaders: Needle threaders make threading needles a snap. Thimbles: Protect your fingers from accidental pokes—and add a little oomph to stubborn stitches—with thimbles in various materials. Needle minders: Shops on Etsy also have needle minders such as fabric tomatoes and magnetic dishes for when you step away from your project. Needle cases: Needle cases help protect needles from loss and spillage. Plus, your fingers will thank you the next time you’re rifling through your sewing basket. Magnifiers and task lighting: With such delicate, minuscule tools and stitches, the eyes need a bit of help sometimes. Magnifiers and task lighting help you focus exactly where you need to without squinting.

Learning how to cross-stitch

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your cross-stitch game, sellers on Etsy have a host of kits and how-to supplies with everything you need. Cross-stitch kits often come with needles, thread, patterns , and tutorials all preassembled for you. Shops on Etsy also have a wide range of books and magazines to bolster your craft.
