Hello Ladies,

How much fabric do you normally leave around the design? Would 3" be normal or 4.5" be considered normal?

Thanks
Jazzo

Thanks for the reply's.frog, I like to leave a bit more than 3", but guess 3" is not such a bad deal.  Post time 2023-11-22 23:43

I'll do it individually. Most cross-stitches I frame in a picture frame. Then I take the size of the frame and about 5 centimeters to flip.

It depends if you are to finish the stitched piece into an object or for framing. If its for framing, you need to take into consideration the border allowance for a matting board if you use one other than the frame.
