ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

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

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!

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thanks for watching : )

[@rebeccagee8837]

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!

[@janetrothwell4448]

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.

[@CaterpillarCrossStitch]

Thank you for watching!

[@bethallen7384]

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!
