Traveling Threads: Avoid Seeing Them on the Front UPDATED
If you do a lot of needlepoint, eventually you will have a situation where the threads on the back side show through to the front. Joni Stevenson shows you how to hide a traveling thread on the back of a canvas that runs from one spot to the next.

I have my fingers crossed she'll tackle other situations in which the thread on the back side shows up on the front.
Hurrah! Joni has added new information, this time on hiding traveling threads in compensated edges.

Next, she discusses hiding traveling threads in large cross stitches.
