My Favorite Cross Stitch Supplies & Tools

Here you will find all my favorite bits and bobbles that you might need during your cross stitch experience; everything you need to cross stitch from floss to scissors, and more. While these are the things that I use, you may find yourself favoring different items or different brands of a similar thing. There is no right or wrong when it comes to supplies ~ use what you’re comfortable with and what makes you happy with your stitching.

Cross Stitch Needles

All of my needles are currently John James brand. Up until I switched to these, my needles were always breaking, bending, and tarnishing.

Fabrics for Cross Stitching

These are my three favorite evenweaves for cross stitch:

  • Zweigart Jubilee Fabric
  • Zweigart Lugana Fabric
  • Wichelt Imports Jobelan Fabric
I also really like hand-dyed fabrics! Actually, most of my stash is hand-dyed fabric.
Right now, my favorites come from:

  • Ship’s Manor
  • Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie

Embroidery Hoops, Qsnaps, and Scroll Frames

I know some stitchers prefer just one of these things, but I use a variety of all of the, depending on the project size, fabric I’m using, and my mood that day.

(side note: I use an American Dream E-Z Stitch Lap Stand with a mixture of q-snaps and the scroll bars, depending on the size of project I’m stitching)

Embroidery Scissors and Other Tools


Extras, Lights, Magnifiers, and more….

Good lighting makes everything easier…
