Heritage Crafts has compiled the Red List of Endangered Crafts for the UK for almost 10 years. I found it interesting to read, and noted that I had dabbled in a few of them. Perhaps if I had thought I could make a living from making (rather than treating it as 'just a hobby') I could have been really good at it.

Have tried this and liked it.

Why do some cross stitchers use their embroidery hoops upside down? 🤔

It's one of the questions we are asked often, and the answer is a technique called stitching "in the well." Some stitchers swear by it, while others have never tried it or even heard of it.

In this week's video, Ford explains what stitching in the well is, why some stitchers prefer it, and the advantages and disadvantages of using your hoop this way. If you've ever wondered why some hoops look "inside out" or whether this technique could improve your stitching, this video has the answers.

Watch now and let us know in the comments, which do you prefer: stitching in the well or using your hoop the traditional way?
