About Angela
Expertise
I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)

Cross Stitch - taking a completed pattern off

Question
Hi Angela,

Here's a question for you.  I cross stitched a snowman with waste canvas directly on to a fleece shirt.  I no longer like the shirt, but still love the snowman. The snowman is 4" by 4".  Is there anyway I can cut(?)out the snowman and put it on another shirt? I did use interfacing.

Thank you,

Linda

Answer
Hello, Linda

Unfortunately, no.  And it was possible, I don't think it would look very nice at all, especially if it was glued onto another shirt.  The only thing that I can suggest is restitching the same design onto a shirt that you do like, and give the old one away, even to Good Will or Salvation Army, if you wish.

Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela
