Summer's Magic by Dragon Dreams DD#83 (Cross-Stitch)

Dragon Cross Stitch Description
Brand New..Summer's Magic by Dragon Dreams DD#83. Counted Cross-stitch illustrations by Jennifer Aikman-Smith.

I've been a professional picture framer for over 20 years and I have stretched quite literally thousands of cross stitches over the years. O here's a few things I've learned about making a beautiful looking cross stitch.

* Don't pull your stitches too tight. Tight stitches causes your aida cloth to pull at an angle and this makes it difficult if not impossible to get it to stretch straight. A real danger from this is that when your framers is pulling on it trying ti get it straight, some of your stitches may pop.

* Keep all your stitches going in the same direction. This allows for your finished needlework to look smooth and tapestry like.

* Do Not tie off your stitches using knots. Simply thread them through other stitches to hold in place. Knotting your floss will cause it to be lumpy when framed.

* Soak Bleedable Colors Like Red before use 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 prevents any possible colors bleeding when you wash it when finished.

* Don't leave cross stitches in hoops too long. Sometimes the ring marks don't wash out.

* Wash (with a mild soap) and if necessary iron your cross stitch before having it framed. Not all frameshops offer this service for you and even for those that do, you'll save some money by doing it yourself.

A Few Things To Consider When Framing Your Cross Stitch

* Use glass when framing your cross stitch if you plan to hang it anywhere it may get dirty. In general I recommend glazing on all needle art. It just seems a better way to protect all those hours of delicate stitching from the environment. But here the absolute reasons for using glass when framing your cross stitch.
* When hung in a kitchen
* Near a fireplace
* In a bathroom
* if you have dust issues in your home
* If there's a smoker in your household.

Using glass when framing your cross stitches will save you from the expense of having it torn apart to be washed and then re-framed.

* Be sure there is an air space between the needlework and the glass. An air space will prevent mold growth. An airspace can be achieved by simply adding a mat or two or using framing spacers made specifically for the job.

* Don't use tacky boards For Framing Your Cross Stitch Most are not acid free and can after a number of years yellow your needlework from the acids in the board or it's adhesive.

Since I already told you NOT to use sticky boards for mounting your needle work, I thought it best give you a do-it-yourself option.

Various frameshops have different ways of mounting and stretching cross stitch and needle work. I know because I have worked at a few. The most important thing when mounting a cross stitch is getting the aida cloth running straight. The below method is the method that I prefer and it's the most effective at providing a straight finished piece. The other major benefit is that it's totally reversible. It's a slower method but I believe the benefits are worth the time.

What You'll Need To Mount Your Cross Stitch.
Acid Free Foam Core 3/16 in diameter.
1/2 - 3/4 inch sequin (straight) pins
Push Pins (not absolutely necessary but they make things easier)
Acid Free Tape

NOTE: I'm a firm believer in using acid free product whenever you can. So often people think their cross stitch project isn't worth the extra cost but the truth is a beautifully done cross stitch become a family heirloom. And by using quality products now you'll help preserve it for future generations.

Steps For Mounting Your Cross Stitch
Step 1. Cut a piece of Acid Free foam board the same size as the frame you'll be using. If you are planning on matting it, you simply need to cut an opening in the center of it from which you'll stretch your cross stitch, and then push back in the foam board ring. Be sure that the board is square (as in not crooked) because you will be using it as a guide for stretching your cross stitch.

Step 2.. Center your cross stitch on the foam board and use push pins (a couple to each side) to hold it in place. Do this by pushing the pins into the edge of the foam board. Do Not Push Into Face of the foam board.

Step 3. Beginning on one edge pull aida cloth straight using the edge of the foam board as your guide and pin along one side.

NOTE: I often start pinning in a corner and then expand out on two edges at the same time. For me this seems to help me keep things straight.

Step 4. When finished with the push pins all around. Pull out a handful ( 5-10) and begin replacing them with the straight sequin pins. Again push sequin pins into side edge of the foam board. This extra step of using push pins first allows you to the small adjustments necessary for getting your needle art straight.

NOTE: Get some 1/2 or 3/4 inches straight pins. The shorter the better since they are going into the edge of the foamcore board. Longer pins are far more difficult to use in this way. but these really are hard to come by. Even most Hobby Lobby or Crafting stores don't carry pins this small.

Step 5. Pull extra aida to the back of the mounting board and tape into place so they lay flat.

Step 6. Push your newly stretched cross stitch back into center ring and tape into place from the back. If no matting is being used you are done.
