Hi Cuties: I thought I would pass this little tip on to you, in case some of you hadn't thought of it.

I was doing some lettering for a project I am working on, and the font has an outline stitch around it. I like to trim the jump stitches as it stitches so they don't get caught under other stitches. My 2 thread colours are very close, so it was hard to see and trim the jumps. I decided to lay a strip of WSS over the lettering before starting the outline. It worked perfectly. I could see the jumps and it protected the other stitches from being cut by mistake.
So much easier and safer this way...

Good idea, I haven't tried cross stitch on my embroidery machine, but this would work perfectly...

I LOVE doing cross stitch on my emb machine, so much better than me pulling my hair out to do it. :-)
