Let's add a stitch to our collection of Cross Stitch. This one is called Dutch Cross Stitch. I have also seen it named just Dutch Stitch.
It is an elongated upright Cross Stitch, similar to a capital X with a shorter straight bar across.
Check out the instructions at Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials or TRCs website.
Here is my photo tutorial:
An even cross is easy to make on Canvas or Aida where you see the holes clearly. For a wilder look, make the stitches free-hand on plain weave.
Homework:
Add to these samplers.

This is a stitch I like, especially on evenweave or aida fabric.
You know for sure that I would go for the wilder look!
I can learn that the compatibility of fabric and
stitch is important.
That is a nifty little cross stitch, and like Angela, I would go for the 'free style'.
I think that one would be easy enough for me.
It makes such a contrast with the stitch before, doesn't it!
