counted thread embroidery

Counted thread embroidery is a technique where the design is created by counting the threads of the fabric, rather than following a printed pattern. In this method, each stitch is made on specific intersections of the woven threads, ensuring precision and uniformity in the design. This approach is often used in cross-stitching and needlepoint, allowing for detailed images and patterns. It requires careful planning and attention to detail, making it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced embroiderers to create visually striking and intricate designs.
