Design: Flower design from Stitch Ideas vol. 5
Thread: DMC 601
Fabric: 32 ct Belfast Zweigart
Finished: 4/19/09 (stitching) 4/25/09 (finishing)
The opposite side of the floss tag has my friend's initials on it, 'AW.'
I have a question for my cross stitch readers! I was having such a hard time whip-stitching around the corners. I had trimmed the corners according to the directions I had, but it didn't really help. The corners had too much fabric to whipstitch comfortably. LOL So I trimmed some more....then I had fraying edges. Good grief.
Does anyone have some advice for stitching the corners on floss tags? I think perhaps I stitched too small of a design for a floss tag....the same thing happened with the edges on my mini-biscornu!?!?
LOL I will have to tell my friend that the floss tag was a first attempt. And the biscornu was the first tiny one I've finished ^___^
Until next time!
