* indicates required. The Linen and Threads' Cross Stitch Corner Gauge is a new cross stitch tool to help you determine where to start stitching. The wooden corner gauge measures 3 square and has 3 starting points (2, 2 1/2 and 3) depending upon your framing allowance. Mark your starting spot with a pin and you are ready to begin stitching your project.
Vertical and horizontal mattress sutures allow for skin edges to be closed under tension when wound edges have to be brought together over a distance. The corner stitch, a variation of the horizontal mattress suture, is commonly used for closure of angled skin flaps or wounds. Although mattress sutures can produce surface scarring or ârailroad marks,â early removal of these sutures can limit this damage.
