Introducing a new, exclusive line of printed fabric for counted cross stitch. A specially curated selection of designs to enhance your stitching, these backgrounds have been chosen to provide a background that would be difficult or impossible to achieve by other means (other than tedious total coverage stitching). Available in a variety of fabrics and counts, additional choices are available upon request.
The first two offerings are of two designs:
|
|
|
Available on 32 count linen and Lugana, 28 count linen and Lugana, and 16 count aida. Printed image will measure approximately 14" wide by 23" high on fabric measuring approximately 18" wide x 26" high and price will vary depending on fabric type. Click here for more information.
Due to the nature of the printing, it not recommended that this fabric be washed. We recommend pressing it carefully to remove wrinkles prior to stitching and working on a scroll frame to avoid adding any wrinkles or creases as you stitch. The fabric may be pressed carefully on completion; as is normal face down on a clean towel (you may wish to place a piece of parchment paper on top of the towel prior to laying the upside down needlework on it). You may also wish to press it prior to adding any beads, especially large ones and then putting in a frame (scroll frame or large enough stretcher bars) before adding beads so that no further pressing will be necessary.

Weeks Dyeworks cotton floss also went up in price January 1 from $2.50 per skein to $2.60 per skein. All threads from the Caron Collection also went up in price the first of January. Kreinik raised prices a few months ago on their products but we are just now updating our prices to reflect that. Stay tuned for more possible price increases (which fortunately seem to be modest).
