It doesn't matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced cross-stitch stitcher Wholesale De’Vondre Campbell Jersey , there are always new things you can learn to give your projects that increasingly polished look. But getting that professional look takes practice and skill, so here are three great tricks the professionals use to make their designs look better than the rest.

Great looking Front and Back:
When you begin cross-stitching one frustrating aspect of the craft is a backside of your fabric that looks like someone threw down a ball of multi-colored floss. Some cross-stitchers just resign themselves to the fact that the back of their fabric will never
look as good as the front while looking at those "neatnik" experts with envy. However, there are a few ways you can keep your back looking almost as nice as the front.

First, you can make extra effort to keep your stitches consistent. Use one method of stitching (English or Danish) throughout your whole piece. Using one method keeps the back of your piece looking as good as the front. Also, you can end your threads by weaving them under the same color. If there is not enough of that same color Wholesale Grady Jarrett Jersey , try to weave it under a similar color in the back. Finally, you can avoid carrying your threads at all. Just end them and restart.

Fabric that Lies Flat:
After using hoops or holding your fabric, wrinkles can become a bane of your stitching existence. They are difficult to get out of any cross-stitch fabric, but often they are inevitable.

You can use two methods to get the wrinkles out of your fabric, keeping it looking professional. You can use heat or cold to get out the wrinkles in your fabric. To use your freezer Wholesale Derrick Shelby Jersey , you can simply wet the fabric along the folds then slip it into a paper bag so it can lie flat. Lie the piece as flat as possible in the freezer until it is frozen solid.

Remove it from the freezer and immediately iron it until it has thawed and dried out. Then let it rest overnight on the ironing board before moving it. Also, you can wet the folds in the fabric and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then iron it. Let the piece cool before you move it.

The Colonial Knot:
One frustration for many cross-stitchers is the French knot. It is a difficult knot to do without it unraveling or coming through the back of the fabric -- and forget all about using a delicate floss, such as metallic. Many stitchers also complain that they can never get all the knots to look the same size on the fabric. However, there is an alternative that will give your work a professional look -- the colonial knot.

To do a colonial knot you place the needle behind the standing thread. Then you drop the thread over the needle, front to back. Push the thread toward the standing thread to form a loop. Pull the thread in front of the standing thread up and over the needle. This should create a drop toward the tip of the needle Wholesale Wes Schweitzer Jersey , to the left of where the first drop occurred.

Now you are going to follow the same instructions as the French knot. You insert the needle tip going over one thread toward the upper right. Then pull the working thread taut so the knot slides down the needle and rests on the fabric. Make sure the knot is tight. Finally, pull the working thread toward the left of the knot. Use your thumbnail (non-needle hand) to hold the knot while working the thread. Keep the tension on the thread and thumb on the fabric, bring the needle through to the back. You can release the tension a little just as the eye of the needle passes through the knot. But hold on to the remaining thread tension until the next stitch so that the knot is maintained.

And there you have it. Three great tricks performed by the professionals... and now you too.

Maintaining the best manhood health is very important for any man. But sometimes he can fall victim to a variety of male organ health myths that could mean he is actually doing more harm than good for his favorite equipment. When it comes to good member care, it is vitally important to separate fact from fiction and go only with those things that are certainly true.

To help a man do that, we’ve compiled a short list of manhood health myths that could eventually lead to less-than-stellar member health. Here’s the truth about a man’s male organ.

1. Myth: Soap is a must for cleanliness. In most cases Wholesale Dontari Poe Jersey , this would be absolutely true. But when it comes to delicate male organ skin, soap can do more harm than good. Soap can often dry out the skin – even those moisturizing bars that claim to have added lotion can lead to peeling, dry male organ skin. So what’s a man to do? Very mild cleansers designed only for the member are a good bet. Yes, it’s pricier than an average bar of soap, but the benefits are well worth it.

2. Myth: Too much self-gratification is bad. Though many men have heard that paying too much attention to things ‘down there’ could lead to serious problems Wholesale Tevin Coleman Jersey , science has proven those things are not true. A man will not grow hair on his hands, he will not go blind, and he will not go crazy if he pays a lot of attention to self-pleasuring. In fact, a man’s health can actually improve as he reaps the benefits of stress release from solo play.

3. Myth: A prepuce is unhealthy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Though there has long been concern that a man might be prone to more infections an.
