    Done is better than perfect. That's a good maxim for those of us who let fear stop us from making progress in our hobbies and projects.

    Taking into consideration this is your first video, you did wonderful with verbal & visual instructions. I have been a seamstress over 40 years & avid needlework artist over 30 years, therefore I have viewed many videos & yours was quite honest and enjoyable. Keep at it, you have a great future ahead.

    I was looking for a simple yet elegant way to finish a bookmark. Your video was very clear and easy to follow. I hope you continue to produce more videos as you are able. Thank you as well for the reminder that it doesn't have to be perfect. I struggle with this a lot.

    I just loved how detailed you were in this tutorial. I found you through FB. Someone asked for recommendations on how to finish bookmarks and someone else replied with a link to your video. Sooo grateful that they did. I love how you are such a perfectionist and double check all your work. Those little reminders are the best as I myself have had to redo projects for not double checking. Your bookmark looks beautiful!!! Thank you!!!

    Great clear instructions. I don't usually comment on videos but you requested feed back... did fast forward some bits to get to the actual instructions but otherwise awesome 😊. Now to look at your other patterns..............

    I would love it if people would provide feedback as to why they are disliking the video. This would help improve things in the future but I can't improve what I am not aware of! Thanks in advance!

      Their screens must have been upside down and they thought they were giving a thumbs up. Or they're just jerks. Great video!

      @dawng5653 4 года назад

      Chelsea I really appreciate this video. The only thing I noticed is that you seem nervous a bit. Perhaps a bit more confidence in yourself! Just a thought. I enjoyed this video very much the bookmark is beautiful. Also a specific link to which cross stitch pattern used would be awesome 😎

    • @felicityfarnsworth8307
      @felicityfarnsworth8307 Год назад +1

      I clicked on this video because I thought it might show how to seam an edge on a bookmark. Disappointed to see all you've done is stick a bit of fabric with a raw edge down. Nothing to see here.

    • @AnnNunnally
      @AnnNunnally Год назад

      I noticed on my iPhone that there is no thumbs up available, only a thumbs down. Perhaps people clicked the thumbs down by mistake. There maybe a way to change that on your video. I really liked this video!

    • @Mary-JoIsch
      @Mary-JoIsch 3 дня назад

      @@felicityfarnsworth8307. You could cut the fabric piece a bit bigger then turn the raw edges in and then press it over the heat ‘n bond. That will hide the raw edges. Maybe Chelsea will describe another way before her next video. Just trying to help!😊

    Thank you for this very clear tutorial! This is a long shot since this video is a year old but I was hoping you’d have those no-sew tutorials. Is there any possibility they’ll still be posted? Thanks.

    • @ChelseaBunsCrossStitch
      @ChelseaBunsCrossStitch  2 года назад +1

      Hi Jenn, I never forgot that you request this so as soon as I'm done designing the winter one, I'm going to do that tutorial by hand so you can see how I do it!

  • @ASalemPali
    @ASalemPali Год назад

    This bookmark is beautiful! I’m wondering if you notice any fraying on the edges with use?

  • @wilmalongman6491
    @wilmalongman6491 4 года назад +1

    Wonderful tutorial. How can I finish the edge without a sewing machine? What hand stitch do you recommend?

    • @ChelseaBunsCrossStitch
      @ChelseaBunsCrossStitch  4 года назад

      Hi Wilma, I have an idea for this that I will incorporate into my next bookmark finishing tutorial. The basic idea though would be to whip stitch along the entire edge using DMC pearl cotton #5!

  • @sheetalmudaliar
    @sheetalmudaliar 4 года назад +2

    Please show how to make a corner bookmark with cross stitch on it.
    Thankyou

    • @ChelseaBunsCrossStitch
      @ChelseaBunsCrossStitch  2 года назад

      I will put this on my to do pile and maybe make a couple of freebie corner bookmark charts to go with the tutorial!

  • @justinerogers1353
    @justinerogers1353 Год назад

    I would use felt as a backing instead of fabric, whip stitch the edges of the cross stitch and stick them together. No sewing lines to be seen.
