Jamie Chalmers, aka Mr X Stitch, shows you how to cross stitch using simple step-by-step instructions and also takes you to the frontiers of cross stitch design. Showcasing colleagues who are pushing the boundaries of this ancient craft, Mr X Stitch introduces more than 20 lovely, cutting-edge projects to make, and shows that beauty, innovation and 'craftivism' are alive and kicking in this inspirational book. The book is aimed at stitchers of all abilities, from absolute beginners looking to learn a new craft to embroiderers and cross stitchers who want to do something different in cross stitching. For many, cross stitch conjures up images of cute kittens and country cottages, but this book shows people that there’s a different side to cross stitching – that it’s an art in its own right, and will encourage them to be a little braver with their art. Jamie’s writing style is fun, entertaining and highly inspirational. The book will attract readers of all ages, and is aiming to appeal to men as well as women. It will teach the basics of cross stitching, including materials, tools, techniques, colour blending, etc., but will also put Jamie’s own spin on it, with urban flavours, and the introduction of different materials such as glow-in-the-dark threads. There will be several exciting designs for the readers to stitch, and Jamie will arm people with the skills and inspiration to create cross stitch designs of their own, for example, by using photos and other images for reference. Jamie is particularly interested in typography and there is a good balance of typographical and pictoral projects to stitch. The book is split into 5 themes: Colour, Glow in the Dark, More than a Hobby, Using Computer Software and Outside the Hoop. Colour explores techniques such as ombre design, inverting colour and using geometric shapes; Glow in the Dark looks at how to use glow-in-the-dark threads to achieve different effects; More than a Hobby considers the idea of mindfulness in cross stitch, including black work, backstitch etc.; Using Computer Software looks at photorealism and how to originate your design on a computer; and finally, Outside the Hoop explores projects not stitched on canvas. The final spread of each section features an Outlier - the work of another stitcher to illustrate a different aspect of cross stitch made on a surface other than canvas. The book will be informative, fun, instructive and inspirational. Review: Fun read! - I loved reading this book! Easy read with very understandable explanations of how to do a variety of things-stitching, finishing a project, and even framing. Beautiful color pictures and examples of projects from others. Would love to see more books by this author! Review: Love it! - I can't imagine giving this book a negative review. It's absolutely wonderful! I can't wait to make Mona Lisa and the pineapple. Red work inside of letters, a retro pattern, geek stuff, stitching on metal! Who knew there was glow in the dark thread? The framing info is so helpful. I always struggle with that part. Don't hesitate to buy It! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #863,769 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #564 in Cross-Stitch (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 201 Reviews | ## Images ![The Mr. X Stitch Guide to Cross Stitch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91X5mT-d0SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun read! *by D***0 on June 6, 2019* I loved reading this book!
