Finally!
A quick and easy way to master the mysteries of CROSS STITCH in less than three
weeks...
"My Friends and Family Laughed When I Took Up Cross Stitch, But Their Laughter Turned To Amazement
When They Saw the Beautiful Masterpieces I Now Create..."
But I had a
secret that not a single one of them knew about ... I'll tell you about it
shortly...
Dear Friend and Fellow
Stitcher, 
Let me introduce myself: I'm Janis
Applegate and I began cross stitching
more than 40 years ago.
Whether you are looking for a creative way to use your hands with cross
stitching or you already know the basics of cross stitch but want to get better at it, you've come to the right
place.
Now YOU can discover how easy it is to get
professional cross stitch results AND have a lot of fun at the same time!
... how I learned Grandma's
secret!
Many, many years ago I sat next to my
Grandma while she was cross stitching. She made
cross stitch pieces for all the family and neighbors and did it so quickly and so
easily I was fascinated and
soon learnt to love it as well.
She patiently taught me the basics of cross stitch
while stitching her own masterpieces that I now
cherish. Grandma used to tell me she worked on her projects to help with
her arthritis. She knitted and did crochet too, but we all knew her first love was cross stitch.
Following a lengthy break from cross stitch, I only began
stitching again when my family had grown up. Now, several years further downline, I'm a grandma myself and it's my
turn. I love teaching my granddaughters everything I know about
cross stitch, although...
... that wasn't always the
case
There was a time when I would look at my grandma's work and think I
could never cross stitch like her. My designs all ended up
in tangled messes and my stitches were wrong.
Grandma would never make me feel bad. She'd just hand me the seam
ripper and help me correct my mistakes, giving me the right technique to make my stitches neat and
even. Pretty soon, my stitching became better and in time I grew
confident enough to create my own designs.
More recently, I began
actively posting to several cross stitch forums. The idea of writing a 'how-to' guide gradually came about after
receiving a couple of emails thanking me for all the help and guidance the writers had
received.
And so a Cross Stitch guide
was born...
From this I began taking notice of the recurring questions being asked
in the cross stitch forums. Those queries, in addition to Grandma's teachings, formed the basis of my cross
stitch report.
That original
report has now been expanded into a
practical guide especially for the person who
loves to cross stitch and wants to perfect their craft AND the person who's never picked up a cross stitch
pattern before, but would love to.
Cross Stitch Made
Easy was written with you the reader firmly in mind. This "paint-by-numbers" guide is suitable for both
newbies and more experienced stitchers.
It contains NO
fluff and NO filler. You'll learn how to stitch right the first time and every time!
Written
in a friendly, caring style, Cross Stitch Made
Easy provides all the information you need to get started: from firstly identifying
the basic equipment you'll need, to tying your first stitch ... and all by a
passionate, experienced stitcher who speaks with you just like an older, caring
sister.
Other guides might only give you the basics, but in
Cross Stitch Made Easy you
have a guide you can use as a tool to learn the techniques of cross stitch so you will soon be stitching like
a professional!
Every time you sit down with a pattern and frame you'll want a copy
of Cross Stitch Made Easy beside
you to use as a reference.
When asked recently to carry out a review of Cross Stitch Made Easy, here's what Sarah Bee, an
experienced cross stitch teacher, had to say:
|
"... each section is designed
to make the process of learning cross stitch interesting
..."
"Cross
Stitch Made Easy: A Guide for Beginners ~ Get It Right the First Time, Every Time,” is
well written and covers everything the novice stitcher needs to get started in this wonderful
craft. From the attractive cover design and layout, the brief history of needlework in the
Foreward, the author's personal experiences, to the Summary; each section is designed to make
the process of learning cross stitch interesting and simple."
"Ms. Applegate has assembled a comprehensive list of materials and
supplies along with descriptions and illustrations to enable a beginner to assemble everything
required for successful completion of that special first project. She then guides the stitcher
through organization of materials, preparation of fabric and floss, and following the chart to make
those first stitches."
"In “Cross Stitch Made Easy,” Ms Applegate shares
tips from her experience that are only learned after years of stitching. In addition to the basics,
she provides illustrations of additional stitches usually presented in patterns for advanced
stitchers. The final chapter provides alternative instructions with illustrations for finishing and
framing encouraging the beginner to display the completed project. Excellent!"

"Cross Stitch Made

"Now every time I call my son, my granddaughter gets on the phone and talks to
me about cross stitching and the project she's working on. She's made a pillow for her bed and is
now making one to send to me. I can't be there to teach her, but the pictures in Cross

questions."

"I only wish that I had been given this book when I first started cross stitching.
It is the most informative book on the subject that I have read. Everything is explained very carefully
and is easilly understood."
"There are items in the book, that as an experienced cross stitcher I find
useful. Especially the section on the stitches, some kits just mention the stitch to be used
without explaining properly how to do it. Your book explains them very well indeed. I have printed
quite a few pages for myself for future reference."
