Cross Stitch - are they supposed to hang on the wall?

Am I just being slow or do they only sit on surfaces and not on the wall? When I try to drag one to a wall to hang it like a picture it will only sit flat on the floor. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

    Same thing here. I thought you could hang them on the wall as well. Not sure why we can’t do that.

    The promo contained scenes with cross stitch works on the wall. I think they can be placed both on surface and wall.

    You have to click on it in your inventory and select the option to convert it to a wall-mountable piece. Then you can hang it.

    Well now I feel silly 🤦🏼‍♀️. Thank you so much as I was stuck on this as well.

    I found it entirely by accident, when I was trying to sell one on Plopsy. :)

    I don't have the pack yet, but could it be that we must choose hanging or standing when starting the cross stitch project? (hope not...)

    Can you convert it back to standing if you change your mind?

    No, you choose after it's done.

    I don't think so because I haven't seen any option to change it back. Seems permanent.

    Try putting it back in your inventory if it’ll will let you.

    After converting the hoops to the wallmounted version, is it normal for them to depreciate in value tho or is it just happening to me?
