Create A Cross Stitch Effect In PhotoshopBy psddude Tutorials / Text Effects 35547 Views November 13th, 2012

Expand the selection with around 5px, and Make a Work Path out of this selection.If you are not really sure how to use stroke path you can read these Photoshop pathstutorials.Create a new layer and call it Threads Layer.
