Cross stitch alphabet patterns fall into three categories
'Line' cross stitch alphabet patterns
Free Animal Cross Stitch Charts
As the name implies, line alphabets, like 'Mini Line' and 'Fine Line,' have letters that are are constructed entirely with back stitches.
This doesn't mean, however, that there is no style to the alphabet. Line letters do not have to be plain. Check out 'Flourishes' It has stylized tips and swirls and portrays a completely different feel than either Mini Line or Fine Line.
'Block' cross stitch alphabet patterns
Made with full and partial cross stitches. The lines of each letter in a block alphabet can be primarily a single stitch wide, like in 'Slim' and 'Addicted.'
Or, it may take multiple stitches to configure the letters, like 'Cotton Candy.' Good examples of this are 'Robot' and the immensely popular 'Curly Q's.'
'Graphic' cross stitch alphabet patterns
The final category of alphabet patterns are those where a graphic image is used to portray the individual characters.
These can be understated and graceful, like the tiny flowers on the letters of 'Floral. They can be bright and bold, like our unmistakably haunted 'Happy Halloween.'
More stitches give more opportunities to introduce more character into the characters!
Other ways to add interest
Beyond style, you can dramatically alter an alphabet if you
- change the colors of the letters ('Freedom' looks remarkably different when stitched without its signature red, white and blue palette)
- use colors to make a pattern in the letters, like stripes, checks or diagonals
- use half stitches instead of full cross stitches
- eliminate the cross stitches inside and use only backstitches for an outline
- add stitches between the letters of a word, so script letters resemble handwriting
- add whimsy by not stitching the letters in on a straight horizontal line
Start by finding a style you like and one that fits with the rest of the design, then find a way to make those letters your own! |
Need help fitting those letters into your design?
Sometimes you find the perfect alphabet, and it fits perfectly into the space you have. But more often than not, it takes a few alterations.
