Cross stitch and embroidery@sh.itjust.works•What do you all watch/listen to while stitching?English
2·3 days agoNot really actually. I might recommend them, but I’m not sure I’d actually call then good, becuase i feel like they try a bit to hard at being interesting instead of just covering an interesting topic.
But lately it has been Diaster Autopsy and Plane Crash investigations on Disney+
And I often revisit HBO’s chernobyl but Disney also have a pretty good one, which have a bit of a different more “true” take.

2·3 days agoPretty much everything. If my shoulder allows I stitch all the time when home, with something on the TV. Lately it have been disaster documentaries.
But if I’m on the couch with my boyfriend it is Fader Brown. We just got a new season and I really love that show!

2·5 days agoI just wash them normally at 30°C and hang dry. I’m pretty sure i did the loop-start and then just weaving the thread under when ending, but a bit more than usual, but nothing else to protect it. And they look just as good now 3 years later.

12·5 days agoYou can buy something called water soluble canvas, which has the cross stitch grid. In my country I have only found 14 count.

I recommend basting it on, and then starting in the middel so it don’t shift while you stitch.
When you are done you just wash it.
I have made these pants using that

There is also something called waste canvas which you pull out after you are done stitching. But I don’t have personal experience with that.
I dont know that meme, and a quick search confused me more than it helped.
So…maybe 🤣
