| KNOW-HOW |
| |
1. Pick a design on 14 count aida for your first project.
2. Make sure your chosen design uses just whole cross stitches as these are the easiest ones to start with.
3. Pick a small design. It's much more satisfying to finish a design in just a few days, rather than stitch one that takes weeks or months.
4. Give yourself a bit of space and some peace and quiet.
5. Wash your hands before you handle the fabric.
6. Make sure you've got all you need to hand: threads, needle, hoop and scissors.
7. Use an embroidery hoop: it holds the fabric taut and helps you to stitch neatly.
8. Stitch in the best possible daylight or invest in a daylight simulation bulb for evening stitching.
9. Keep your stitching in a safe place, away from children, food and pets!
10. Relax! Cross stitch is a brilliant hobby and will give you hours of pleasure.
