cross-stitchers
X-pattern sewers
Cross-stitchers are people who practice cross-stitch, a form of embroidery using X-shaped stitches to create patterns on fabric.
The term usually implies hobbyists rather than professionals, often suggesting a community of crafters who share patterns and projects: The cross-stitchers in our group meet every Thursday.
