Cross Stitch/Cross stitch for corners

Question
Can I use a regular cross stitch design on an angle for a corner or would the design need to be redrawn? I have a teapot design for a towel that I would like to put on a bread cover corner.  Thank you.

Answer
Hello, Donna :)

Yes, you can. :)  If this teapot design is a border for a fingertip towel, you may need to duplicate it again on the opposite side of the bread cover to balance it out.  I hope that makes sense. :)

Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
