Needlepoint Letters: An Easy Trick
- Use Cross Stitch. This solves the problem nicely but means you may need to switch to a thinner thread for comfortable stitching.

- Change the slant to match the slant of the line.
How do I make the letters bigger in cross stitch?
If you want your design to be larger, use a SMALLER count, such as 6-, 8- or 11-count Aida cloth, which has larger squares (fewer squares per inch) and will make your finished design larger. Remember, you will need to use 3 or even 4 threads when stitching on smaller count aida cloth.
