About the Padded Cross Stitch
The Padded Cross Stitch is excellent for creating quick textures and fillings with a slight embossing. The technique is similar to making the Cross Stitch. The only addition would be that instead of going between two stitch points just once, you would go through it twice to create that bold look. The crosses made this way look thicker and more prominent.
