ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

Another great tutorial showing an easy and economical way to frame a project. I also like using a canvas as another cheap way to display a project. 😃

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

We're glad you found this informative! Thank you for watching :)

[@px5714]

Your “extra-ness” came in handy 😅 that’s a neat framing tool.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

So glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@feidie64]

Another great tutorial! Thank you! Now to go buy a dual point framing driver... :) ❤

[@SonovaStitch]

It's a little expensive but honestly I've loved having mine. Thanks for watching!

[@agnesorourke]

Thank you so much for so many tips. I learn so much from all your videos 💚

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching :)

[@helenaMe325]

I love your approach to recycling! I am so with that plus I don't have the funds to pay someone anyway so, win win! This was a really helpful tutorial as usual, Ford 👌😊

[@SonovaStitch]

Even when I do have the funds, I prefer to hang on to them because the only part of being a Boy Scout that stuck with me was "A scout is thrifty"!

[@helenaMe325]

@@SonovaStitch Yes, same here. More funds for more fabric, thread and patterns!! 😀 And, of course, reducing our footprint a bit...

[@user-hk9bh9zl9l]

Another great and detailed video!! A+

[@SonovaStitch]

Thank you for watching! I wanted it to be very detailed but that does unfortunately also equate to "long"!

[@diannemurfitt878]

I washed and ironed my project this morning (after watching your videos ❤️) and now I’m going to attempt to frame it. Just wanted to say ‘thank you’ once again for these great videos!

[@SonovaStitch]

Thanks for watching! Glad you're finding them useful!

[@lisaboban]

I appreciate this approach. Not everything you stitch is an heirloom requiring a professional framer. It's a shame when folks finish a piece and they leave it in a drawer because framing is so very expensive. This "down and dirty" method will get those pieces on display, where they belong!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

We totally agree! Thanks for watching :)

[@devoted2knit177]

I so enjoy your videos. I am brand new to this craft and am learning so much. Thank you !

[@SonovaStitch]

Thanks for watching! Glad you're finding them useful!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching!

[@user-zx6nm2dm4i]

I was always told to lace a project when framing. Oh, what a palaver.😂 Your method is so much quicker and easier and i will be using it in future, but i will also watch your lacing tutorial. Thank you.

[@SonovaStitch]

It's on the list of future video ideas!

[@lisaboban]

Hi Ford!!!

[@theresapetrik1995]

Thanks for the info on the spray adhesive! I always learn something new from your videos.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching! We're pleased to hear you found this useful

[@elizabethkrafnick5466]

This is a great idea. I have never seen any technique that doesn’t involve folding extra fabric over the sides and lacing or hot gluing. It down. This seems better. Did you come up with on your own?

[@SonovaStitch]

Yes, I based it on how we used to frame photos in the pro camera shop I used to work in. It limits later choices (like moving to a bigger frame later) but so far I've never regretted cutting off the excess!

[@Lily.Mac56]

So useful, thanks! Would that sticky spray work on a canvas? Or would it be better to stretch the aida over a wooden frame to make a mock canvas?

[@SonovaStitch]

Yes, it works to hold the fabric to a canvas surface. The sticky is not super strong though so if there's no frame there to hold the edges, you'd need a more secure attachment method!

[@WildWestDan]

The adhesive is sold out! Having some trouble finding a comparable one on my phone

[@lisaboban]

Check again. The link worked for me in the US. But also, both Michaels, Joanne's, and Walmart all usually carry this. There's an Elmer's version and one from Aileen that I've also used.

[@quiltingtangent459]

Lacing a project to frame. What to lace it on to.

[@SonovaStitch]

I'll add it to the list of ideas for you!

[@stavroulak.503]
