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. :)

Question
I am doing a very large tapestry 50 " x 60", 8 stitches to the inch. Should I
use a frame to stop the piece from warping?
If so where could I purchase one and what size would be best?


Many thanks

Answer
Hello, Liz

I'm guessing that your project is a cross stitch piece, instead of a needlepoint piece.  I would suggest using a very large scroll frame, which can be purchased at either Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Joann's Fabrics, and you can also try looking on this website, too:

Hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)
