Tips For Creating A Beautiful Cross Stitch

And for more information regarding creating and framing cross stitches please visit the below listed lens.

I've been a professional picture framer for over 20 years and I have stretched quite literally thousands of cross stitches over the years. In that Time I've learned a couple of things.


* Always wash hands before stitching Even if you think your hands are clean they always carry a certain amount of natural oils. These oils can sink into the fabric and may not come out after washing your cross stitch.

* Don't pull the stitches too tight. A couple of things happen when pulling stitches overly tight. Often the cross stitch pulls at an angle and may not stretch straight when it comes time for framing. Also if the framer pulls too hard trying to straighten your crooked cross stitch, some of your stitches may pop loose.

* Keep all of your stitches going in the same direction. This will give your cross stitch will have a smooth and tapestry like look.

* Don't tie off your stitches using knots. Simply thread them through other stitches to hold them firmly in place. Knotting your floss will cause it to look and be lumpy when framed.

* Bleed Check Your Floss I'm not sure if this is as important as it used to be but it's a good idea to soak floss for bleeding before using it. This way when you wash it before framing it, your colors won't run and ruined all your effort.

* Do not leave cross stitches in hoops for extended periods of time. Sometimes the ring marks don't wash out.

* Similarly don't fold your cross stitch because the edges get creased and dirty and may not wash out. It is best to roll your cross stitch when storing or between stitching.

* Wash (with a mild soap) and if necessary iron your cross stitch before having it framed. Not all frame shops offer this service for you.
