Thursday wooooooooooooooooo where did the week go? Yikes... who's playing with the clocks now? I better hurray and share the cards for today before this day is over and gone. But the good part about tomorrow means the weekend for me. I need the rest hee hee it was a busy trying week for me but I made it through. Yippee
Before I go on with the shares of the day I wanted to share a few pointer tips about Stitching on paper. As I was once a beginner at it and still consider myself being a beginner at it, I have found out that there are two ways to make sure the needle holes after stitching into everyone of them stays as small as possible.
1. You can use the rounded side of a spoon behind your card (the back side of your stitching) go around every hole you have pushing down the mount of paper pushed out from pricking the paper it will close the holes and will reveal a much better looking design, where you will amazingly discover that your work looks 1000 times better!
2. The other trick is to use the smallest needle but if you are like me, I like to keep it as little as I can still see the threading hole easily without having to use a magnifying glass. Whichever works for you in the end is best!
If you think of other tips for stitching cards as well as using beads please share with us in the comment section. One can't have enough tips when wanting to perfect a technique.
Thanks,
