    Never iron directly on embroidery. Most people would cover with a damp towel and the heat from the iron on the damp towel will release the wrinkles.

    Dish washing soap will remove grease stains. Actually I use my Dawn to treat 😢almost all stains. I use Hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains. Just apply it to the stain. It's a cleaning trick my nurse husband taught me.

    Just came across your video. I like your quick method for mounting your cross stitch but as a quilter we use batting on top of the sticky board to protect the piece. Also use a rotary cutter to cut the sticky board. Kimberly Jolly at Fat Quarter Shop FlossTube has some great tutorials for finishing pieces.

    I just used your method and it worked perfectly. I have to ask why vinegar? I used salt. But certainly not opposed to vinegar. Mine worked perfectly. I also dunked it quickly into tea to take off the brightness.

      Hi, two hand-sewing methods you can use are blanket stitch and whipstitch. I like blanket stitch the best because it is easy and secure and it looks nice, lol. There are loads of tutorials for these on UA-cam. Just a note - the tutorials often assume you are sewing two edges together, but these stitches work just fine along a single edge of fabric (ie where you would serge). The blanket stitch tutorial I learned from is "Overlocking by hand" and the channel is called sewberry. Sorry I don't know how to post the link. 🌺

    Thanks for this informative video! I have a previous project wherein I used 2 strands on a 14ct aida and I didn't like that I'm seeing white parts in the background 😅 that's why when I started a new project, I experimented on using 4 strands on 14ct since I liked how it covered most white parts, especially it's a portrait one. But I'm working on the pattern for my next project and I'm considering using higher count aida since it will be too big if I use a 14ct one so I'm looking into the different aida cloths and stitches for reference. Your video has taught me a lot!

    This was exactly what I was looking for! I'm a cross stitch newb and ordered an 18CT 16inx34in Rivendell(Lord of the Rings) kit! I got the highest count on the pattern so my piece could have better detail. Anywho... I was unsure whether I should use single or double strands and wanted to see what both looked like. Your video made me realize I probably wanna go with 2strands because I like the coverage better on the 18CT swatch. Also makes me wish the pattern came in 22CT because I liked single strand on that swatch even better. Thank you!
