QUARTER-CROSS STITCH
 
To achieve fine detail in counted-thread Cross-Stitch designs, sometimes you need to make a stitch that intersects the grid in the middle. This is called the Quarter-Cross Stitch. It is usually combined with a Half Cross Stitch to make a Three-Quarter Cross Stitch.
 
 
In Counted Cross Stitch designs, you can use this stitch to effectively cut a grid square in half, achieving greater precision in the design.
