I am a novice Cross Stitcher and have purchased a Thomas Kinkade printed kit. I’ve already put samples of the corresponding floss by the stitch symbol chart and taped the edges of my canvas to prevent fraying. I’m ready to start the project, but I’m noticing that the chart and the actual print on the canvas are not matching up in the count. For instance, there are more squares on the chart from a point to the edge than there are from the corresponding point on the print to the edge of the printed canvas. I”m also noticing that the chart and printed canvas aren’t really matching up from point to point either. I seem to remember my mom saying something about finding the center of the canvas and starting from there. So can someone who is practiced and knowledgable about this craft please tell me how one follows an embellished cross stitich pattern correctly?

Gottaknow asked:
I’m just starting to try out counted cross stitch and find that I need to better hide those countless tails of thread that cover the back of the canvas. They weren’t noticeable from the front until I added the stick on backing and then they all became very apparent! What do I do so the back is not inundated with roads of thread? (I don’t have this problem with needlepoint since everything can be tucked in…what’s the trick with counted cross stitch?)

I’m new to cross stitching and want to use some patterns I found online, but have no idea how to actually transfer that to my canvas. Please help!
