How to 'block' your crewel work embroidery

Phillipa demonstrates how to 'block' your crewel work using a cork board, pins and a water spray.

Thank you! I was considering steaming my embroidery work. It was a different kit and of much lesser quality than your kits (I’m doing the Tumbling Feathers kit of your next!) but just the same, I’d like it to be as perfect as I can get it! This helps so much!

Thank you. I inherited several finished but unblocked pieces from my late aunt.

Very similar to how I block my knitting, except I start with a damp product. I'm guessing the final product will look as good ?

Thank you for this. I was very informative.

[@rosalierizzo4090]

what do you do with it after it's been blocked ?

[@veliaantila1099]

For some reason UTube has no sound. No matter which video I want to see. Maybe you can find out why, I have tried to no avail.

This is an immense help. Thank you so much!

That was interesting and thank you ! Is it possible that you could also advise on how to lace the needlework for framing?

[@eirika2001]

Great explanation, thank you.

Thank you ! I had NO idea...

It's a pleasure April!

And why on the floor, and not on the table?

I’m sure it doesn’t matter where you block it. Maybe the floor was better for filming.😀😀
