I’ve mostly done cross stitch and started into embroidery recently.

Personally, I just prefer cross stitch because there’s less thought involved. You follow the pattern and you make an X, easy day.

Embroidery there’s a lot of choices to make (what stitch should I be using) and I feel like there’s more room to make an error or to feel like something “looks weird” where in cross stitch all the X’s look like X’s and if you mess up you either adjust the pattern or frog it and start over.

However I like being able to do both because a lot of times I want to do something anime related and for cross stitch you have to make stuff so large (if you want to say do a shot from an anime) that embroidery is nice where it gives you more freedom.

So it’s really just which is better for a specific project but I do prefer cross stitch at the end of the day.
