Cross designed by Janice Blair

Materials:
Mettler 30 cotton
5 bobbin pairs wound continuously with approx 1-1.5 yards
1 worker pair wound continuously with 3 yards
1 pair extra for leaf tallies

Directions:
Work in cloth stitch with a twist before edges and wholestitch the edges.  Pins will be reused
on the inside corners and outer corners of the arms of the cross.  If reusing a pin, omit the twists
between the stitches on the outer passives.  Sewings are made up the center of the arms where a
pinhole is shared.

When cross is almost complete the last sewing is made below the center leaves, add the
extra pair and use with the worker to make the tallies.  Make leaf to center and hold with a pin,
make second leaf and sew the second tally into the cross, make a plait back to the center to work
the next tally. Continue with this method until all 4 leaves are completed.  Plait back to center of
cross and tie off one pr.  Twist worker pr back to the original sewing and continue on with the
cross, making sewings into the starting line.

Tie and cut off center threads and use the outer threads to pass through your backing material
before framing.
