Hi Karen,

I forgot to mention that if you are using a mat, your piece of cross stitch should be hung from the back of the mat by making a hinge of tape at the top only. (It holds the work in place)I hope you understand these instructions. I learned how to do this in a workshop.. I was able to use all of the eqipment there so it made things very easy for me. Good luck with your project.
