The key to success with your next project is in the bag with the Cross Stitch Key and the Cross Stitch Line Keeper. Both tools will have you stitching your projects quickly and accurately.

The Cross Stitch Key by It’s Sew Emma

The ultimate reference tool for cross stitch! The Cross Stitch Key by It’s Sew Emma features four functions. The key displays a reference guide for floss count and needle size, a cloth counter to help you measure cloth size, a ruler for general measurements, and a corner guide to help you position your designs.

One of our favorite features on the Cross Stitch Key is the corner guide. The guide helps you determine where to start your piece by measuring the amount of border space you need. The guide measures from the corner of your cloth at 1.5″, 2″, and 2.5″. There is also a 3″ ruler next to the key, to help you measure the cloth piece you chose, while still keeping the Cross Stitch Key compact and easy to throw in a project bag.

The cloth counter and reference guide are must-have tools for all cross stitchers. These features help you do the math on needle size and cloth size so you can spend less time counting and more time stitching.

The Cross Stitch Line Keeper by It’s Sew Emma

Thanks to the Cross Stitch Line Keeper by It’s Sew Emma, you’ll never lose track of your stitches again! These magnetic line keepers attach to your chart, so you can easily see exactly where you are at all times. The set includes four folding line keepers, two 1″ x 6″ and two 1″ x 7.5″.

There are a few different ways to use your Cross Stitch Line Keeper. You can keep your line keeper above or below the line you are stitching to mark the line you are working on. You can also use two line keepers to mark off multiple sections.
