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 1, French, - demi%2Dpoint%20de%20croix
