Thank you for this tutorial. And I seriously like this better than an actual frame. And as you said it will also be a lot lighter, so not to heavy for the walls ❤ I love this. Thank you.
Thanks for showing us how to finish a stitched piece into a wall hanging. It was perfect timing for me and now I can finish my Autumn Leaves banner! Cheers,Marilyn 👏🏻🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this tutorial. My wips are huge and I know I'd never be able to afford professional framing for any pieces I finish so I'm definitely going to try this! Yours looks beautiful 🥰
This is lovely! I will do something similar. There are easier ways. I'm too ill to explain but look at how to back a quilt and make a quilt hanger. That sort of thing. Then you wouldn't need to use so much of that fusible stuff. There was your sewing machine sitting in the background crying because it didn't get used to its potential. Your way of doing it works for you, I'm just saying there are easier ways. Beautiful.

Awesome tutorial Gemma....I watched it right when you uploaded it but didn't have time to comment. Your a natural teacher. And so glad didn't have to wait until your son went back to school to see you finish this Masterpiece....reallyturned out Amazing and the fabric is perfect 👌
It doesn’t have any peel-off paper or anything on it like interfacing does. (Do NOT use Heat and Bond, it is a different product! If it is a two-step process it is the wrong stuff. The correct product is placed between layers and pressed in one step as shown in the video.) I highly recommend testing on some scrap pieces before trying it on a finished project. At my fabric store it was an item kept in bolts under the cutting table counter. Pellon Wonderweb or Stitch Witchery are good brands. monfil.ca/product/stitch-witchery-htc3000-28/
I bought a bolt off Ebay, unfortunately that seller is no longer active, but someone recommended Wool Warehouse to me, you can buy lots of different cross stitch cloths by the meter there www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/fabric?application=46138&fabric_size=38424

😄 My sewing skills are not the best but I have seen people make them with quilting techniques and those are beautiful as well
@@gemmastitches your cross stitch swing skills are amazing. Re the sewing machine, we all start somewhere. It is a very good tutorial.

Can I assume this is double sided fusible web? Can you recommend a brand? Great tutorial!

Beautiful piece. Did ironing directly onto your stitching make it shiny or flat?
No I’ve never had an issue with ironing on it directly
where do you buy such large aida cloth? I don't have access to a needle work store

@@gemmastitches thank you!!! I'll be looking into these websites
Hi Gemma, this is a great tutorial. How long did the piece take to stitch. It's beautiful. Susan
It took almost exactly a year and seven months. Started May 9, 2021 and finished Dec 7, 2022
Is that super-sized or regular size
It is the large size
beautiful piece, beautiful job! how long did it take you to stitch that?
I started May 2021 and finished December 2022
@@gemmastitches thank you responding!! Was that the only project you were working on, or did you have other patterns you were stitching? I ask because I am working on a big project I started for my daughter, and I am trying hard to get it finished.
I worked on it most of the time, I’d say 90% of my stitching time
