To ease your work and get a quality sewed gobelin we recommend that you use a special designed frame/loom to stretch your canvas.Make sure you choose the frame/loom according to the size of the gobelin - check HUDEMA'S loom offer at the back of our catalogue or on the website: |
For sewing on type A canvas and marked 10x10 type AZ, you must divide the cotton thread and use only two wires. The amount of cotton...it's more than enough! It should last until you finish your gobelin and still have a 30% reserve/save. To keep a clean looking gobelin, it is recommended that you start sewing using the darker colors, and finish up with the lighter ones, leaving the white cotton thread to be sewed last, if available. |
In order to achieve a beautiful, unique and high quality gobelin, please use the classic stitch sewing way ( french stitch ) , for it is a simple, nice and easy way of getting your work done. It is executed on the horizontal thread of the canvas, from left to right, and then from right to left when you get at the end of the row, keeping the same line of stitches. DO NOT WASH THE GOBELIN!!! THE GOBELIN IS NOT WASHABLE!!! |
