Question
What is the easiest way to correct or remove cross stitches. I am new to cross stitching and have seen stitchers use the term "frogging" and I am not sure what this means. Thank You

Answer
First let me apologize for not answering your question sooner. The system did not notify that I had pending questions.

Frogging is just another term for removing stitches because when you frog you "rip it, rip it!" The easiest way to frog is unthread your needle and then simply pull out each stitch in the opposite direction that you stitched itusing the needle to get under the stitch!

I hope I helped.

Happy Stitching!
