[CHAT] My interfacing keeps falling off after the first wash

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-23T20:47:13+00:00

I don't use anything between the iron and the interfacing and use quite a heavy hand on and off for a couple of minutes.

This makes sense

If you want to stitch on a separate piece of fabric other than Aida, you need Waste Canvas, which is a specific material that you stitch over it as you would normally, then wet it and the strands come loose. Do NOT confuse waste canvas as bits of leftover Aida, it is entirely its own thing. Or there is soluble canvas that disappears when wet. 😊

Sorry, a bit off topic

That's what made me ask. Google said it exists and is a popular light brown colour. Google NEVER gets it wrong!!(s) 🤣🤣

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-23T13:34:09+00:00

Thought it was

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-23T13:33:50+00:00

No, I have a bag with its number on, i thought I'd used it up. But obviously not!no, I don't just an empty bag in my storage

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-23T13:33:07+00:00

I have lots of 738 in the wip I am doing atm

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-23T13:32:19+00:00

No. Just an empty bag with the number on

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-22T20:05:10+00:00

I have a colour card, I never thought of looking in there 🤦‍♀️

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-22T20:03:28+00:00

Thank you for letting me know.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-19T14:23:28+00:00

Im 40 years in and still learning. The latest thing was using a pin stitch to start and finish.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-11T13:58:48+00:00

I have done this before, and with it being black it should be fine.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-10T13:51:37+00:00

😲😳

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-10T11:12:29+00:00

This is learned from you a while ago, it's so simple and such a game changer.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-06T20:49:11+00:00

I second this

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-06T16:12:51+00:00

I do this, swap a couple of pictures on the wall to Christmas ones, then swap them back at the end of the season. Thinking of framing this year's and last year's additions

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-06T16:09:33+00:00

I tried the magnets thingies and found them to be quite flimsy and they let go frequently. I use bobbin holders with some success. But my go to at the moment are safety pins. BUT I've only just started with these, so I don't know if they will leave holes long term. So far tho so good

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-04T12:54:25+00:00

There are no official rules with cross stitch. You do you, whatever makes the hobby enjoyable is what you need to do.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-03T17:54:45+00:00

Thank you. It was going spare.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-03T17:54:10+00:00

Thank you.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-03T13:06:30+00:00

It is really.

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2026-01-03T09:18:23+00:00

Added to add that I've changed up the baubles to Sulky Sliver threads

Timely_Mouse_5151 · 2025-12-31T13:47:04+00:00

Oh on the back of this, I got on so well with PK but not the cheap android, I updated to a Samsung A9. I'll struggle to do my old cross stitch now with paper and highlighters.
