Frayed bookmark finishing instructions
Finishing a pattern you have created into a frayed bookmark like the one below is easy, following these steps:
- Select a color of floss that will be used to create a stitched border around your design.
Using the floss selected in the previous step, stitch a full cross stitch border around your design, leaving at least 4 squares on the outside and two on the inside. The image on the right shows the border outlined in red.
- To create the frayed edges, pull out the fabric threads along the vertical and horizontal edges, going up to the stitched border. The stitched border prevents the fray from unravelling any further.
