What does 'counted' cross stitch mean?

Troubleshooting
The thread is knotting while stitching
Use shorter lengths of thread and ensure you are pulling the needle through at a consistent, gentle angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you are working in a well-lit area to distinguish between the various pink and green shades provided. Mount the fabric securely in a cross-stitch hoop, ensuring it is taut but not distorted. Regarding care, once your project is complete, hand wash the finished embroidery in cool water with a mild detergent. Lay the piece flat on a clean towel to air dry, and iron on the reverse side while slightly damp to smooth out any creases. Store any leftover floss in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the fibers.
