Legit question for all you Cross Stitchers out there;
How is the back of your piece looking?
I was always told the back should be as neat as the front but I have NEVER managed it. And I can't even say it can't be done because my mum had a piece she flat framed between two panes of glass so she could show it off. She has also kept such wizardry to herself (she hasn't stitched in like 30+ years at this point so she also just might not remember) can anyone give a girl a few tips?
Or am I striving for an unreachable goal?
There are pieces and techniques where the back can not look neat and honestly I don't care about the rest. The back looks however it looks as long as there isn't dark thread showing over gaps on the front.
Also that is a stress you don't need to add to the hobby. I've stitched over 100 pieces and I can not look at most of them and tell you if the back is messy or not.
As someone on here once said You don't go to a museum to look at the back of paintings.
