How to get our posts in your Facebook news feed for sure – Only 3 steps!

by

For months we have been getting complaints from our readers that they are no longer getting our updates in their Facebook feeds. And now, we think we have found a sure fire way to get our updates right under your noses. Follow the following three steps and you will be getting inundated with our updates!

STEP 1: Go to our Facebook page, make sure you like it and then hover your mouse over the word “Liked”. You will see a drop down. Make sure that “Show in News Feed” has a check-mark next to it as seen below. If it doesn’t, then select it to check-mark it.

Step 2: Hover over that Liked button again, and this time, click on Settings under the check-marked “Show in News Feed” text. And this is where it gets tricky. That box will go away and be replaced by the box in Step 3 below. Sometimes it happens instantaneously, sometimes, you have to wait.

Step 3: Got that new box? Great. It will look like what is shown in the image below. Click on “All Updates”. And voila! We don’t need to pay to get our posts in your news feed anymore!

Quick Tip: How to Keep Cross Stitch Fabric from Fraying

One of the most common problems that cross stitchers at all skill levels have is that the cross stitch fabric can start fraying while you stitch.

Beginner cross stitchers might wonder why this happens and if there is something they are doing wrong to cause it.

The reason cross stitch fabric frays is because it is a woven fabric, and the nature of any kind of woven fabric (whether that’s cross stitch fabric, a torn up towel or a piece of fabric you’re going to sew) is that it wants to fray.

It’s not necessarily a huge deal if you cross stitch fabric starts fraying mid-project if you have left a lot of extra fabric around your stitching. But if there’s not much fabric to spare in order to be able to finish the project the way you want, you’ll want to do something to stop the fraying.

When I was growing up I remember my mom using masking tape for this purpose, but it turns out there are lots of different things that you can do to stop your cross stitch fabric from fraying.

Craft with Cartwright came up with 15 different things that you can try, which seems like a lot, but that just means you have lots of different things you can try.

If you don’t want to buy something, you can stitch along the edges. If you already have supplies like tape or glue, or access to pinking shears or a serger, there are lots of options you can try.

Some of these are more permanent than others, so it will depend a little bit on how you want to finish your cross stitch project as to which is the best choice for you. It’s a great idea to read through the whole list just so you can have them in the back of yoru mind the next time you start a project and think about how you would like to protect it.

You can find the whole list at Craft with Cartwright.

How do you like to stop fraying on your cross stitch projects? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
