What Does SAL Mean In Cross Stitching?

SAL is an acronym in cross stitching that means 'stitch-a-long'. Designers as well as stitchers form groups to stitch a project together. Some do these SALs virtually with Zoom or some other technology, meeting together in homes, libraries or shops. The comraderie and sharing of knowledge in such a group urges stitchers to finish a project or get over a hurdle they maybe facing in the project. There are all kind of different SALs from designers releasing in sections, mystery SALs where the design is not fully revealed until the last section is released or a theme such as seasonal.
