Avoiding Creases in Cross Stitch Fabric

By Connie G. Barwick, About.com

Remove Cross Stitch fabric from hoops when you are not stitching. If you do this, then the creases in the fabric will not be as pronounced. If the creases do not relax, mist the fabric edge with distilled water and iron the creases out. If possible, choose a hoop that is larger than the design you are stitching to avoid damage to stitches.
