Stitching the letters and numbers
I have not been doing cross stitch for a long time and I am concerned about doing the letters and numbers for the name and date. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks for any help!

The pattern will include an alphabet and numbers. You will be able to chart it using graph paper if you have it. Otherwise, you can do it on a blank sheet of paper.

Check back if you need additional assistance.

You can find free graph paper to print out on the internet. I just print out the 10 squares to the inch size because that is what creates our ctoss stitch, just ten in a box, each way. Find center place to start. Count the letters & spaces for what you want to say. Divide the result by 2. You start in the middle of that.saying/name amd graph forwards and backwards from center.

This way your letters are centered and look like part of the design.
