Q-Snap Frames
are a popular alternative to embroidery hoops for cross-stitchers. I had been wanting to try one and so my sister, after trying one and not liking it, gave me hers. I finally tried it while finishing up my Halloween Spooky Sampler (which I neglected to post on here but it's in my Instagram feed) and found I really enjoyed using it. The major problem with Q-Snap frames is the extra fabric around the edges and worrying about it getting dirty. The solution to this is a frame cover or grime guard. I figured since I will be soon be working on a new cross stitch project that now would be a good time to make one. I did a little searching on Pinterest and found a tutorial. Then I whipped one up.
It only took me about 35 minutes to make and the fabric and elastic were stuff I already had on had which is always great! Plus, now my future cross stitch projects will be nice and protected!
