Hi Cuties: I thought I would pass this little tip on to you, in case some of you hadn't thought of it.
I was doing some lettering for a project I am working on, and the font has an outline stitch around it. I like to trim the jump stitches as it stitches so they don't get caught under other stitches. My 2 thread colours are very close, so it was hard to see and trim the jumps. I decided to lay a strip of WSS over the lettering before starting the outline. It worked perfectly. I could see the jumps and it protected the other stitches from being cut by mistake.So much easier and safer this way...

thanks for the great tip. It sure is difficult to see the little jumps.

I use this trick, it's just magic when your working with cross stitch.

Good idea, I haven't tried cross stitch on my embroidery machine, but this would work perfectly...

I LOVE doing cross stitch on my emb machine, so much better than me pulling my hair out to do it. :-)
