Thread protection

Post by starshine123102 »

I found a cross stitchable cell phone case, which if you ask me is absolutely awesome. The only thing I worry about is the threads getting worn out super fast by going in and out of my pocket/purse and whatnot. Is there anything out there I can use to help protect it once I'm done to make the floss a little bit more durable?

Are you using DMC? If so it is very durable! I've stitched designs on t-shirts using waste fabric which have survived hubbys DIY and the washing machine lots and lots of times!! I think it should be ok
