As the name suggests, stamped embroidery and counted cross-stitch patterns have an easy-to-follow stamped design, right on the fabric, which you then cover with embroidery stitches. Once you’ve stitched over the stamped pattern, simply wash the fabric to remove the stamped lines. Embroidery Central offers stamped embroidery and cross stitch patterns for tablecloths, pillow cases, towels, and much more.
