A Few Tips From A Professional Picture Framer For Creating A Beautiful Cross Stitch

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.

* Wash Your Hands Before Beginning Never handle the cross stitch after applying hand lotion.

* Don't pull the stitches too tight. A couple of things happen when you do this. The cross stitch pulls at an angle and may not stretch straight. Also if the framer pulls too hard on it to get it straight, some of your stitches may pop.

* Try to keep 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. The back side of your cross stitch should be neat and you should be able to see the image as clearly from the back as from te front.

* 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.

* Do Not Fold The Cross Stitch Rolling it is best to avoid dirt and creases along fold lines. These do not always wash out and there's nothing more frustrating than wasting months of hard work to have a marks that don't come clean.

* Try not 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.



* wash and press your cross stitch before framing You may not notice anything now but once the cross stitch is pulled tight over a bright white mounting board previous un-noticeables suddenly may show up.

* Use glass when framing your cross stitch if you plan to hang it anywhere it may get dirty. This is especially important in places like a kitchen, near a fireplace or in a bathroom, if you have dust issues or a smoker in your home. This will save you from the expense of having it torn apart to be washed and then re-framed.

* Use clear glass only on cross stitch and needlework As non glare or anti reflective take on a foggy appearance which is even more pronounced when any depth is added like for matting.

* Create an air space between the needlework and the glass. as this prevent mold growth. An airspace can be achieved by simply using matting or using framing spacers.

* 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.

I own and operate Wild Faces Gallery with my husband Mike in a small rural town in Iowa. There we sell my original artwork and prints, as well as do quality custom framing and offer Giclee printing for other artists as well as for ourselves. I have over 20 years experience in the art and framing industry, both as a business owner and as a working artist.

I write a regular column for Apples 'N Oats (an equestrian magazine) about painting horses. If you would like to see real life photos of Catch, or want to follow the painting's progress (with full story) from start to finish please visit my blog, Fur In The Paint

Animals are my passion and art is how I chose to express it.
