1. Select the picture you would like embroidered. The variety of magazines for needlework is the scheme for embroidery on a variety of topics.
   If you bought a ready-made set for embroidery, then it is the suitable size of the canvas for work and you selected the appropriate color threads.
   But, if you buy everything you need yourself, pay attention to the tips that are in the schemes.
   To outline don't accidentally run out while stitching, it is necessary in the beginning to determine what size canvas you need.
   The diagrams almost always specify the size of the finished work. Add to each side by 5 cm and the size of the tissue. The additional inches add to the finished work can be placed in a frame or sew into a product.
   If the size of the finished work not specified in the schema, we count the number of cells in the diagram horizontally and vertically. It's easy to do, because every 10 cells are highlighted in a different color or a bold line.
   Then, attaching to the outline of a ruler, see how many cells is placed in a 1 cm Calculate how many centimeters will be required for the number of cells in the diagram. Do not forget to add an additional 5 cm.

5. Insert the needle into the lower right corner of the cell and make a stitch on the diagonal. I got a cross. But if you need not one but a number of crosses of the same color, it is more convenient first to make some polyreactive. After the needle is inserted in the lower right corner of the cell, enter it diagonally to the upper right corner of the next cell, and then again at the bottom, etc. On the wrong side at this time make vertical seams.
   
6. Once you have made the required number of policraticus, enter the needle and thread in the upper left corner of the previous cell, then at the bottom, etc. it Turns out a number of crosses.
   
7. Embroider the first one color and then change the thread. So you will know what all the ranks that need to be done with the color ready. Don't have to calculate the cells to start another thread.
