Cross Stitch Crafty Tip
Here are some tips to help keep your cross stitch uniform, smooth and professional looking. If you have to split the 6 strand cotton into two strands for stitching, peel off just one strand at a time. Then combine the two, running your finger over the thread to make the strands parallel to each other. While stitching, regularly allow the needle to hang below the fabric so that the threads can untwist and always make the upper stitch of each cross in the same direction.
