[@Tasarlin]

I just finished putting the backing on my first cross stitch project. Your videos have been so helpful!!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

That's amazing to hear! Thank you for watching and letting us know it was helpful :)

[@VanessaWilloughby-p2d]

Thanks Ford! I never considered blanket stitching the felt on the back, I'm definitely going to use this finish in the future!

[@SonovaStitch]

I always like to make my stitching visible! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this video, I’m going to use your method on a piece I recently finished and have just laying around 😊

If I can inspire one person to put their work on display, I'll consider it worth the effort to make the video!

Thank you!! Ford, have you done a video on beading?

[@SonovaStitch]

I haven't yet, but it's on my list!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Great Idea! Thanks for watching!

[@Sweepear]

Any ideas about finishing a square project?😊

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching - we will look to cover that at a later date!

[@SonovaStitch]

I have a method that I've perfected for my own finishes. I'll be sharing that pretty soon!

[@anyai6537]

Can you use other fabric besides felt?

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Yes absolutely you can :)

I'll add it to the list of ideas! You might want to check out Love It Stitch It that Sally tells you about at the end of this video!

I have some fusible felt. Would that work if I put a couple of layers of batting at the back of the work?

[@SonovaStitch]

It would work to cover it, yes. One of the advantages of sewing the felt on is that it holds the work tight on the hoop, which I suspect fusible felt might not do quite as well.

Thank you for watching!

A tatoo on your finger is a little extreme for you? 😂
Great tutorial as usual, though I kinda miss the bird. 😊

[@SonovaStitch]

As my tattooist always says "what's the big deal? It's only forever!
I'll try to make sure Nugget can be in the next video I shoot. Thanks for watching!
