French knots are a classic embroidery stitch that adds texture and dimension to any design. They are small, decorative knots that resemble tiny raised dots on fabric. French knots are commonly used to create intricate details, such as flower centers, eyes, or small accents in embroidery projects.
Beading in cross stitch is a technique that adds an extra touch of elegance and dimension to your cross stitch projects. It involves the use of small beads, typically made of glass or plastic, to embellish specific areas of the design. These beads can add sparkle, texture, and a unique visual interest to your cross stitch creations.
Framing your cross stitch is an essential step to preserve and showcase your beautiful artwork. It not only protects the fabric and threads from dust, dirt, and damage but also adds a professional touch to your finished piece.
A waste canvas is a type of fabric that is used in embroidery projects. It is a temporary grid-like material that helps in stitching designs onto fabrics that are difficult to embroider directly. Waste canvas is typically made of cotton or a blend of cotton and polyester. It has evenly spaced holes that allow the needle and thread to pass through easily.
