Thank you so much for watching!

I would *never* have thought of trying ScotchGuard! Nice to know it's safe for cross stitch pieces.

Thank you Ford, very interesting!

Thank you, Ford; another bunch of brilliant tips x🪡

Thank you Ford! My nephew actually ate desiccant when he was little! He was fine but found it was Not as yummy as one would think lol. I have so many hand made objects that I’ll potentially be annoying my relatives for hundreds of years 😂.

Oh goodness! Glad to hear your nephew is ok!

Thank you for a useful video! For now all my pieces are framed and covered with glass, so I was really interested in the way you suggested - to leave some space between glass and fabric. It would be great if you could add some demonstration for such videos next time!

I can tell you have an excellent sense of humor! Thanks for watching!

All of my projects are stitched with the "called for" cat hair, so washing is always needed. Can't wait to see your recommendations for that! Great video! Hi Nugget!

Nugget will be making an appearance in the washing video! They came running when I turned the sink on. It is disallowed in the strongest possible terms to wash a stitch without the bird getting a bath! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the very helpful video! What about the fabric protection spray, what's your opinion about this kind of products? Till your next video 😀🧵🪡

@@SonovaStitch Now I feel embarrassed 😛 You mentioned that, but I was wondering what is that thing and then I forgot to search but I didn't think at all that was the name of a product I thought it was something like scotch tape or something and I was wondering, how on earth would that work, or if it's something like a transparent film that you stick on the stitching but not the obvious! Then I stopped thinking about that and I thought that I have one brilliant suggestion to make 🤭 Oh, well.....😊🧵🪡

What happens about using handdyed fabric or floss in your projects? Can you still wash them?

@CaterpillarCrossStitch

It would depend whether the fabric/thread is colour fast. I would contact the supplier to find out. If not colour fast then I wouldn't recommend washing.

What about moth balls or cedar blocks to prevent bugs??

That is definitely a good tip for anyone who uses silk or wool threads! Clothes moths don't generally go for cotton since it doesn't contain keratin, which is what the larvae feed on. Thanks for watching!

Oh! I never knew that. I don't normally stitch with silks, but there is a large project currently on my frame that is 100% silks.
