Cross-stitch is a form of counted-thread embroidery that uses tiled, X-shaped stitches to create detailed images [23].

123Stitch is a favorite for its vast inventory of threads and fast shipping [21].

Known for "elevated essentials" and modern takes on traditional eastern wear [13].

Completed projects can be displayed in innovative ways, such as in shadow boxes, as modern wall hangings, or even sewn onto pillows and tote bags [19].
