- Recently finished a cross stitch piece and not sure what to do next? Or do you want to try framing for the first time. Our how to video is packed with helpful hints and tips to ensure your finished piece is picture perfect.
I'm from Utah in the United States. I really enjoyed watching your video! You two are so cute, and I love your smiles!
This was by far the most helpful tutorial I've seen for framing! I've cross stitched for a long time, but I've never been able to properly show off my projects. You've reignited my love for it, thank you so much for that. :)
Same here - I used to cross-stitch & do needlepoint, but gave it up because I had all these lovely FOs hiding in a craft drawer/bins. Found this while working on a gift for my in-laws, and it's encouraged me to go ahead and start mounting/framing my work too. Thank you!! 🥰
The best! Thanks for sharing ❤
What a beautiful and great explanation! Such lovely ladies. Thank you very much!
:)
Great tip about using a double mount to keep the glass farther away from the stitching!
Love the way you guys explain... Thank you ☺️ 🙏🏼
Thank you for thorough explanation, tips and suggestions! Your works are lovely and your exthusiasm makes me want to go to embroider something immediately!
This was wonderful! Thank you so much!

OMG! you are amazing!!! thabk you very much for this amazing video! you are lovely!
Thanks so much for sharing this video!
Thank you for showing me how to frame my piece! Other methods using tape/glue really bothered me.
Wish you’d shown how you handle corners.
I just hot glue mine into a cut frame. Never washed a cross stitch but I keep mine clean while stitching and dont use hoops. I stitch in a carboard frame that I throw away after each piece. Hoops always do things I don't care for. I like double mating as well and cut all my own mats.

Very very thank to you ma
Can you elaborate on how you get the corners to lay flat when stretching the work?
New subscriber here... 😍😍😍
Please can you explain how to deal with corners? I can't seem to get them to lie flat the rest of the demo works very well. Many thanks.
You could take a tip from sewing, and snip a notch to make a mitered corner. There should be tutorials for that online, possibly under clothes or quilt sewing.
I would love your helpful advice on how to clean and repair a cross stitch piece that was gifted to me as a child. Unfortunately, the edges of the fabric were stapled to a card board backing when framed and it put some strain on the fabric causing it to split and tear a bit over time since it’s been in storage.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I have never framed my works myself before. Is it possible to cut the mountboard to fit a smaller pictureframe?
Thank you so much for sharing. I have a ? What kind of Fabric Protection is best to use?
Ur explanation is so good i love it..I hv one doubt pl.clarify before stichting also have to wash the cloth???
Thanks, this is so helpful! How many strands are you using in the lacing? The full 6?
Yes all 6 - it makes the thread much stronger for pulling through.
Thank you for this tutorial it is very beautiful and very helpful I have done embroidering but not to this extent but I sure am excited to try some new things thank you again
Glad we can inspire you to try new designs! Do let us know how you get on!
Where can I purchase the squirrel picture an the two cats love those.

Does the protection spray wash out?
I believe it does but only after a few washes. We suggest washing first then using protection spray if you are going to frame your piece without glass.
@@BothyThreadsLtd Haven't used fabric spray on my pieces, but from other work, I'd say be careful that some formulations can slightly alter colors, either right away, or over time.
