Cross Stitch #8 - My Parking Technique

This video shares how I "park" my threads. This is how I do it, and certainly not the only way - there are many different ways to use this technique. I recommend this type of stitching for HAED, Mystic Stitch, Tilton Crafts etc - type designs where the entire fabric is stitched. Using this technique on designs where the fabric is going to be exposed may result in the parked threads being visible at the back of the work (when viewed from the front).... I hope that makes sense ;) NOTE: I am NOT an expert at "parking" - this video just shows the way I use this technique. The design I'm stitching is the first time I have ever used this technique. If you are interested in learning to stitch this technique I suggest you research other ways to "park" the threads and find an option that suits you best. Above all, the most important thing is that you HAVE FUN!! I current use the GoodReader App (purchase) for iPad to mark my PDF pattern. FoxIt is another recommended App (free). If you have any questions about my technique or would like to leave comments, please do so below. I would love to hear if you try this and what you think of it.
