All threads used in cross-stitch are mainly cotton threads. In addition, there are also linen threads, metal threads, special threads, colored wool threads, etc. Cotton thread is subdivided into hundreds of colors according to different color systems, while other threads are used for the finishing touch of special works, and the amount is not too large.
Embroidery thread is usually measured in units of branches, and each color is identified by a set of Arabic numerals. Each embroidery thread is composed of 6 strands of single thread and is 8 meters long, which means that each embroidery thread has a maximum length of 6 strands x 8 meters = 48 meters long.

Notes on cross-stitch framing:
1. The current prospects for cross-stitch framing and calligraphy and painting framing are still promising, but The framing technique seems simple, but you need to practice more to achieve the effect that satisfies the customer. Of course, this will not be too long. Practice on a blank embroidery cloth that has been marked with a grid. You should use 9 or 11CT cloth, because the grid is powerful It's easy to tell if the frame is tilted.
2. During the mounting process, I saw that many cross-stitch finished products have problems of this kind: wrinkles in the embroidery cloth, uneven tightness of the embroidery thread, resulting in local dents and unevenness, messy embroidery methods, and inconsistent stitching. Qi, the jumper is too long, the knot is too big, and the stain is difficult to remove.
3. The kt board is relatively weak and thick, and is not particularly beautiful when framed. However, it is light in weight, has good moisture-proof effect, the board is tensile-resistant, the embroidery is flat, and it is relatively heavy.
