Take a stitch half the length of the top stitch on line below. Insert needle to the right and bring needle out where the last stitch went in. Arrange stitches so the cross threads come from the center of stitch taken on the line.  1, record 1, English, - chevron%20stitch

Nous expliquons ici les différentes façons d'exécuter le demi-point de croix et le petit point proprement dit. Ce dernier est plus résistant; en effet, il y a plus de surface recouverte à l'envers du canevas avec le petit point qu'avec le demi-point de croix. Par ailleurs, il vaut mieux ne pas exécuter le demi-point de croix sur un canevas unifil simple car ce point a tendance à déformer le canevas.  1, record 3, French, - demi%2Dpoint%20de%20croix
