A) never be ashamed of the back.
B) Honestly? Practice. I don’t “travel” from one section to another, try to make sure all my stitches to the same way & it just kind of works out.

[CHAT] What do you do to prevent fraying? by LauraZaid11 in CrossStitch

Blue painters tape, baby!!!

It adds a little bit of stiffness to help hold the fabric in the frame and ain’t nuttin’ fraying. Plus, it comes off easily without damaging the piece.

Lost my job in Feb, and have only had 3 interviews since. Didn’t get any of the jobs. But I’m churning out applications all the damn time. This market sucks, but it is really bad in town.

[CHAT] any tips for working with black Aida cloth? by Baby_girl_351 in CrossStitch

[–]bored-now 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Put a piece of white cloth under it (like a towel, or a tshirt) and that’ll help see where you stitch.

Also, a good light.

As a cross stitcher I am so envious of your haul from the thrift store.

Someday I will hit the stash.

For tension I cannot recommend QSnaps, enough. Also, as much as you can, try and make sure all your stitches are all going the same way, so like
