Hello, I'm about to launch a project to cover a stool. Http: / / www.janlynn.com/detail.cfm?ID=6484 It has been a while since I've sewn and it seems last time I made a big enough cushion (in wool in the same way this project) and did not bother to use a framework and worked well. As we begin this pain that I get people (mom knows that means) I have to put in a context of displacement. I do not feel that large it creates and makes more difficult the tote project. I do not want to regret later, when I ask for any nail it. My a scrolling box, and I rings of different sizes. I am sincerely wanted to try to paint my canvas and from there, but I found this kit at AC Moore sale and only paid about $ 10 – too reasonable to miss! Thank you for any help you can offer!

I almost never use a frame or hoop to tapestry. It depends on the type of fabric you have, and the type of stitch used. I think if you work on a diagonal, with the point Continental (recommended for carpets and cushions you sit on) is preferable to have a framework and points are in the habit distort the canvas. However, if you work side to side, or use half cross stitch, there is no problem at all. In any case, if you block and carefully steam in the end, you can correct any ripple that appears. Enjoy your project!
