How to fill out general counted cross stitch:

1. Start by organizing your materials. Gather all the necessary supplies such as a cross stitch fabric, embroidery floss, embroidery needle, and embroidery hoop.
2. Choose a pattern or design that you would like to stitch. There are various sources where you can find patterns, such as books, magazines, or online websites.
3. Prepare your fabric by securing it tightly in the embroidery hoop. This will ensure that your fabric remains taut and makes it easier to stitch.
4. Thread your embroidery needle with the desired color of embroidery floss. For general counted cross stitch, it is common to use a single strand of embroidery floss.
5. Begin stitching by following the pattern. Most patterns will provide a chart or grid that indicates the stitches and colors to use. Count the number of stitches on your fabric and match it with the corresponding symbol on the chart.
6. Start stitching the first cross stitch. Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric, then insert it diagonally across the fabric to form an "X." Pull the thread tight, but not too tight to distort the fabric.
7. Continue stitching in the same manner, following the chart, until the entire design is completed. Take care to keep your stitches neat and consistent.
8. Once you have finished stitching, secure the thread at the back of the fabric by making a few small stitches. Trim any excess thread.
9. If desired, you can further enhance your cross stitch by adding additional details or embellishments, such as backstitching or French knots.
10. Finally, give your completed cross stitch a gentle press with an iron, using a low heat setting and placing a cloth or pressing cloth between the fabric and the iron.
