How to Use Korbond Tapestry / Cross Stitch Needles

Materials Needed

• Korbond Tapestry / Cross Stitch Needles
• Tapestry or cross-stitch fabric
• Embroidery thread or yarn
• Scissors
• Pattern or design (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Select Your Fabric

• Choose a fabric suitable for tapestry or cross-stitch work, such as Aida cloth or linen.
• Ensure the fabric size is appropriate for your project.

2. Choose Your Thread

• Select embroidery thread or yarn in colors that match your design or pattern.
• Cut a length of thread approximately 18-24 inches long to prevent tangling.

3. Thread the Needle

• Take one of the Korbond tapestry needles from the package.
• Insert the end of the thread through the eye of the needle.
• Pull the thread through until both ends are even, doubling the thread for more stability.

4. Start Stitching

• Begin your stitching in a corner or edge of the fabric.
• Use a simple cross-stitch technique: bring the needle up through the fabric from the back, and then down diagonally to form an “X” shape.
• Follow your pattern or design, stitching each section carefully.

5. Secure the Thread

• Once you have completed an area or run out of thread, secure the end by passing the needle through a few stitches on the back of the fabric.
• Trim any excess thread with scissors.

6. Finishing Touches

• Review your work to ensure all areas are covered and neat.
• If desired, gently iron the finished piece on a low setting to remove any wrinkles, using a cloth to protect the stitches.

Tips for Beginners

• Start with simple patterns to build your confidence.
• Practice on scrap fabric before starting your main project.
• Keep your work area well-lit to prevent eye strain.
