How to keep the back of your work neat so fabric lies flat

When you work on the densely stitched design, at the back of your work you often can often see a mess of tangled thread. And as a result you can not frame your work in a proper way because at the front it has lumps.

But you can avoid this problem easy if you will keep your stitches neat. For this you need to thread your needle exactly through the back of few other stitches when you start and finish off.

Never leap from one area of the cross stitch fabric to another when you have to start a new area of colour. Just finish off and then start again. Secure your thread with first stitches and snip the end off. The closer to the cross stitch fabric you will do it the better.
