Tapestry Crochet Technique to Clean Up Your Work!
If you’ve been watching me you know I like to do words and sometimes you can end up with little bits that maybe don’t look quite perfect.
So, like this piece I use in the video, you can read it but you can see that the “R” didn’t quite connect, same on the “O.” There’s some little gaps of the background color.
I just wanted to give you a tip for cleaning these up, because it can be really difficult to get thin little bits like this onto colorwork pieces without having little bits of weirdness…just because that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
So check out the video below for a demonstration on how I like to clean these up and make them look just a little bit better, so that they’re a little bit more readable!
In just about 6 minutes, you will be on your way to significantly improving your crochet life! Just grab a hook and some yarn and watch the video tutorial below!
