The fabric you use for any design should always be at least 2" longer on all sides beyond the design area. This helps hold the fabric in the hoop or q-snap when you are stitching, and also allows you to stretch the piece for finishing.

To embroider properly use a special cross stitch needle. Such needles do not have a point and are larger because the thread is also thicker.

There are also specific needlework needles that allow you to do a certain stitch better, such as a French knot.
