Got a cross-stitch bib kit, stamped on front of double layer bib. How do I know where to stick the needle?
I know this sounds stupid, but this is my first cross-stitch as I just wanted to try it. Ok, so it is a bib, fully sewn with a front and a back layer. The pattern is stamped on the front. You cannot see the pattern from the back so how are you supposed to know where to stick the needle thru the back. Just poke around every time? Its fine the first time but it will take FOREVER if I have to do that every time until I find the exact place on the front where the stitch is supposed to go. Has anyone ever done this type of cross-stitch and am I missing something? FYI it is a cross-stitch kit by Janlynn.
Here is a link to show you how but be careful, it's addicting and overdoing it can cause pain in your hands from the repetetive motion.
