Making your cross stitch a little more special

Lauren Mills·February 07, 2017
Making your cross stitch a little more special | The Art of Cross Stitch

By now, you would have notice us adding something a little extra with The Art of Stitch cross stitch kits. Yup add that extra shimmer with our metallic threads! Its totally optional but if you want to, add it as a half stitch at the threads that match the metallic thread after you have completed the design to give it a shiny special effect.

Here's what one of our customers had to say about the new surprise addition.

"I'm so happy to receive this kit. The colours are gorgeous. The idea of doing half stitches over the design with shimmery floss once completed is brilliant! Beautifully packaged. A lovely little gift was included as well."

We are glad our little experiment worked!
