I have been reading about the scented thread recently announced by DMC. The range is called “Secret Perfume” and is the type of stranded embroidery cotton used in cross-stitch work.

What kind of tape do you use to attach the threads to the back of your stitching card? I am currently using Sellotape invisible tape. There is a similar type of tape called Scotch Magic Tape. Both of these brands of tape are intended to make invisible repairs to torn pages and similar items.

The property that makes this kind of tape brilliant for fixing thread to stitching cards is their archival quality…

I thought it would be interesting to have a poll to find out your favourite thread for making stitching cards. You will be shown the results so far after you have voted…
