Tip about preserving Cross Stitch patterns

Cross Stitch Tip from a Cross Stitching NASCAR fan

By , About.com Guide

This tip comes from "JeffGordonsFutureWife" a hopeful NASCAR fan and Cross Stitch Enthusiast.

"My vision is not as good as it used to be, so as I was stitching a pattern I marked the stitches that were done with a pencil. As I gathered more and more patterns, I began compiling them in page protectors in a three-ring binder. I quickly realized that using a dry-erase marker on the plastic page protector was easier than making a photocopy of the original to mark on. The marker is semi-transparent, and wipes off easily."
