How to 'block' your crewel work embroidery

Phillipa demonstrates how to 'block' your crewel work using a cork board, pins and a water spray.

Thank you. I inherited several finished but unblocked pieces from my late aunt.

Thank you! I was considering steaming my embroidery work. It was a different kit and of much lesser quality than your kits (I’m doing the Tumbling Feathers kit of your next!) but just the same, I’d like it to be as perfect as I can get it! This helps so much!

This is an immense help. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this. I was very informative.

Great explanation, thank you.

Very similar to how I block my knitting, except I start with a damp product. I'm guessing the final product will look as good ?

Thank you ! I had NO idea...

It's a pleasure April!

[@bill75751]

That was interesting and thank you ! Is it possible that you could also advise on how to lace the needlework for framing?

[@rosalierizzo4090]

what do you do with it after it's been blocked ?

[@veliaantila1099]

For some reason UTube has no sound. No matter which video I want to see. Maybe you can find out why, I have tried to no avail.

And why on the floor, and not on the table?

[@barbiegirlthrifter6841]

I’m sure it doesn’t matter where you block it. Maybe the floor was better for filming.😀😀
