Cross Stitch Tools - Stitch Count rulers

Hello all,

We are always looking to produce free items to help all of you cross stitchers out there when we can. The first item we have released is a 'Stitch Count Ruler'. This item, as shown below, is available to download from our website Country Cross Stitch Kits - (see the 'Stitch Count Rulers' link on the left hand side of the page).

Stitch Count Ruler

These rulers will be available for 11, 14, 16 and 18 count aida fabrics (which equate to 22, 28, 32 and 36 count evenweave) on a one sheet .pdf document that you can download, print out and then either stick to a piece of card or laminate for strength.

The divisions on the rulers are not inches or mm but stitches, if you lay the ruler along a row of stitches it will tell you how many stitches there are.

Whilst there are 'check marks' on the downloadable document that you can check against a standard ruler to ensure your computer / printer has not rescaled the document, we would not recommend using the rulers as the sole method of counting stitches. They are intended as a confirmation tool so when you have counted the row twice and are thinking "maybe I should count it one more time...." you can use the ruler to verify your count.

Happy stitching!

Welcome to my blog

Hello all,

I have decide to take the leap into the brave new world of 'blogging' because my very favourite part of running Country Cross Stitch Kits is the contact it gives me with so many lovely people.

It is always a pleasure to receive emails from our customers, newsleter subscribers and everyone else and the comments we receive are such a joy to read I thought that the next logical step was a blog - so here it is!

I hope to use this to let everyone know what's new, what work we have in progress and what we are thinking about doing in the future with regard to new patterns, kits and informational pages on out site. If anyone has any any requests, ideas or comments on any of this I would love to hear them - please do not hesitate to add any comments you wish to this blog.
