Cool blog!
I love this! I’m very very new to cross-stitch, and I just wanted to ask one question. I know how to make just X’s, like you did in the Tardis valentine, but how do you go about outlining each box? Is there a certain method to it? Do you do it as you’re stitching or at the very end? Is there an instructional post you could link me to? Thanks so much!
The outlines are done in backstitch, and you don’t do them until the very end of your project.
Here’s a great tutorial for backstitching from Sublime stitching: http://www.sublimestitching.com/pages/how-to-back-stitch
And, just in case your need a refresher, here’s a good resource for cross-stitch basics from my pal Becky at Adafruit: http://learn.adafruit.com/cross-stitch/instructions
Thank you so much! These are really helpful.
