hi Nicky i Loved your video on you tube of mounting a cross stitch card. how do you mount a card using padding as mine always seam to come apart and i done like using glue
Hello Janet,
I’ve only mounted a few with padding, so I’m not an expert. I found it best when the padding was smaller all the way round than the aida. So I’d suggest you leave as big a border as possible, cutting the padding back to the same size as the aperture in the card. That way you’ll just be sticking the aida. I would use glue, too, and not double-sided tape, because that’s probably not strong enough when there’s padding. I hope that helps! Nicky.
