I Heart You Cross Stitch Pattern

This cross-stitching design features a sweet sentiment expressing love, using shorthand for “I heart you.” The design features a heart shape in place of the word “heart” and the letter “u” instead of the word “you.” The designer of the design chose to use black thread for the letters and a variegated thread for the heart, but the text notes that you can choose the colors that you prefer for your own design.

The design is said to be quick to stitch up, and it can be put in a small frame or used as a card. The design has a dimension of 14 count fabric which is perfect to fit in a three-inch hoop. This means that for each inch of the design, there are 14 threads of fabric. The result of this is a fine, detailed finished design.

It is a great project for those who like to express their feeling with handmade things, or for those who want to try cross-stitching but are not sure where to start. The design is simple yet sweet, making it easy to work on, and it also doesn’t take much time to finish. With this design, you can personalize it, with colors of your choosing and place it in a frame or even give it as a gift to someone you love.

One of the easiest ways to make a cross stitch project more personal is to add text to it. Whether you’re adding the names of people getting married to a generic floral cross stitch design, birth information to a project on theme with the new baby’s room or just adding a word or phrase that’s meaningful to you, adding words to cross stitch projects make them that much more special.

But if you’re not working with a project that already has text built in, or you want to change the text that’s there, that can feel a little daunting.

Caterpillar Cross Stitch has a great guide to adding names and words (as well as numbers) to projects, which talks you through what to consider and how to actually go about adding text to a cross stitch project successfully.

You’ll need to think about what kind of font you want to use and if you’re using back stitched letters or larger filled letters, how much space you need and how the letters work together in the text you’re planning to make sure it’s readable.

Their post includes common pitfalls such as running out a space or ending up with text that’s off center and how to avoid them (spoiler: chart out your text before you stitch!).

The whole post is really helpful if you’ve never added lettering to a project before and don’t know where to start. I like to use block letters in back stitch when learning how to add text to cross stitch, but of course there are tons of lettering options. Check out this collection of cross stitch fonts if you want to see some different things you can try.

And head over to Caterpillar Cross Stitch to get more tips for how to successfully add lettering to your cross stitch projects. They also have their own alphabet and number charts you can buy to add text to your stitching.
