    I am so glad you found it funny that you showed the back. Most of us watching probably spent some minutes telling you to turn it around, lol.

    Thank you SOOO much for the shout-out! I've been watching you since you started your flosstube and always enjoy your stitching and listening to all your updates! Your FFOs also look fantastic - love the Prairie Schooler one. Also - I will always vote for Elizabeth and pink, so that gets my vote for BAPtoSchool! :)

    WOW! You were a finishing fanatic! Love them... especially the picture frame you put your hoop in. The pillows are adorable. When I saw the Hope Sampler you started working on, I had to order the pattern. I love Emily Dickinson's poetry. She was one of my favorites in American Lit.

    Your videos are always the best!! How is it the end of summer already? While I love the fall so much, summer is just so much more chill!!
    For ironing those hoop marks out, I use a spritz of water on the backside of my work and use a HOT iron on the linen setting. The biggest tip is to have a cushioning under your stitching. I always use a light coloured cotton bath towel folded into a square and then iron on that. I think the extra padding helps a lot with any stubborn hoop marks!!!

    Great job with all of the FFO's, they look great. I really like the idea of choosing from your WIP's with little starts. I always think of going for the ones closest to a finish, but getting all of them well established is a great idea and seems like it would make them easier to just pick up again later.

    Hi there…this is my first visit. I am a new flosstuber and am specifically looking for people with ten or less videos…I want to support other new presenters and want to learn from them too. I will be back. I use a hoop however I do not leave the hoop on the fabric for more than an hour or so…I move it around to prevent fabric memory from setting in and I remove it every time I walk away. For me prevention is best because I am like you, I can’t fully get them out or they gradually return over time.
