This online video tutorial, “Finishing a Horizontal Cross-Stitch Row in Two Steps,” shows you how to neatly complete your cross-stitch work and securely fasten the working thread.
To finish a horizontal row correctly using this technique, follow these simple steps:
- Turn your fabric over to the wrong side (back side), as this is where the thread will be secured invisibly.
- Pass your needle underneath the warp threads and existing embroidery stitches on the back.
- Pull the working thread gently through, then slide the needle under the weft threads to lock it in place.
With these quick two steps, your horizontal row of cross stitches is securely finished with a neat, flat back side. You can now easily apply this reliable thread-securing technique to all your cross-stitch projects.
