I Have A Cross Stitch Question. Please help.?
I just purchased a stamped cross stitch tablecloth. It's been a long time since I've done cross stitch, so I have a question. The kit calls for me to use four strands of floss. When I start, do I knot it in the back so it won't pull through, or do I let a long tail in the back and just weave it through a few of the X's. What's the best way? Thanks for any pointers you can give me.
I bought the kit from Herrschners catalog. You can go to www.herrschners.com to see what's in their catalog.
I'd say weave the thread... if you knot it... you'll see little balls under the table cloth when you put in flat on the table. Then you put a drink on it... and it's not level... drink spills all over it... just a mess. Mess. Weave it. Weave it for the love of God!
You don't have time to be cross stitching table cloths. You should be over your daughters house doing her laundry. 
Would it match the New Mexican Hand Towels, perhaps?
