Beautiful stitching and thanks so much for the tutorial. This seems more doable and you are always so relatable and friendly. I love your videos. Thanks!
Just a suggestion, you can buy offset clips that allow you to put the back on but leave it stitching up. It's good when you are using frames that aren't deep enough. I use upholstery thread for lacing. It's about the same price as sewing thread but sightly thicker and doesn't knot as much. Your fairy turned out great and your neice will love it.
Hi Sarah! Thanks for this tutorial! Super helpful! Happy stitching! ❤
Thank you Sarah, very helpful. You make it look so easy! X
Hi Sarah. Thank you for the real time demo. I have a piece waiting, so will try it out. Your fairy looks amazing! ⚘️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Happy stitching!
I used a repositioning piece of tacky board makes it so easy to re insert the piece into the frame lot of measuring
to make it perfect but it worked.
One thing to mention I had open mat board to center to get it perfect it was close enough on all sides.Was not a gift it was just the right thing for me.
Beautiful job Sarah!
Thank you for the tutorial! It was very helpful. It has been a while since I finished a framed piece. I am now not so anxious 😊
Thank you for the demonstration!
One thing we stitchers have to remember - after that stitched piece leaves our hands we have no control over it. There are people who have no idea how much time, thought and effort goes into our stitched pieces. You did a lovely job on that piece Sarah and you are gifting it from your heart, that is the important thing. Take care.❤
Thank you so much! Your demonstration was very helpful!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for this video Sarah. This is so helpful for me. I just completed the letter A to be gifted to a friend. I will now go get a store bought frame!
Thanks great video. Now I need to buy frames!
So interesting! I learned a lot especially seeing how to start and stop the thread, and enjoyed watching how you hold the threads with your hands as you go along! Also interesting to consider whether to use glass or not in the framing.
Thank you for showing 🥰
I get my frames at the goodwill!
Same here! Goodwill, garage sales, any resale shop really.
Thanks Sarah! 🐨👍
This was so helpful. I now feel like I could do this.
Thank you Sara for this how-to-frame-cross-stitch tutorial! It I super helpful especially the lacing. I didn’t know this yet.
Much ❤
Another beautiful letter fairy! Plus great, practical ideas for the finish as well. Thank you!
Thank you this fairy turned out beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Very helpful
I framed one the other day where it was snug like yours, mine too was for someone else so needed the glass and unfortunately the glass ended up breaking from the pressure 😢
I've heard you can buy a spray to put on the stitching which protects it when not using glass but I can't remember what it's called
Wow! I've framed dozens of things and have never had the glass break. Good to know that's a possibility.
I'm an expensive framer! Lol. Last one was $600 for my black vintage sampler. The problem is some of the sizes are too unevenly shaped. I'm about to take in my Cornwall Cottage Sampler. It's a big square and I don't think it's a universal size for a frame in a store. It'll probably be $700+
Sometimes you can find odd shaped frames in the store - or frames that originally come with mats cut for several smaller pictures - those can be good non-standard sizes. Like the one behind me in my regular update videos has a mat cut for 3 5x7s - one that size could also be great for a long, skinny piece of stitching. :) Squares are probably the most tricky to find, granted. Sometimes you can peruse the artwork section of stores like Hobby Lobby and find something that could work - pop out the artwork and put your stitching in instead! :)
@StitchinMommy Great idea about art work frames. Thanks! 😊
That was very helpful. I suggest that you could have taped the back as well, that would cover the bulges of fabric.
Todos los enmarcas tú ?te ha quedado muy bien
Gracias!
Can't you use a very thin piece of plexiglass instead of glass?
That could be an option. However, that would kind of defeat the purpose of using an easy, inexpensive, store-bought solution. Do you know anything about plexiglass? Where to buy it? Does it come pre-cut or, if not, what do you cut it with? Lots of questions, cuz I'm not familiar with using it. :)
@@StitchinMommy I found it on the Hobby Lobby site. It is 1 mm thick. Not sure the thickness of your glass. 8x10 was $.99 16x20 was $1.49. The frame department in my store has it. It would have to be instore. I have found Hobby Lobby shipping to be expensive. I would never use it on large pieces I want to last.
@@lenadyer2435 Wow! That’s good to know - seems quite reasonable. I’ll have to keep that in mind. 👍🏻
Oh my gosh! When you were putting the back on the frame, I was cringing. I was waiting to hear the crack of the glass breaking. It has happened to me twice. Once with beads, once without. I was trying to squeeze it in and heard a loud pop, turned the frame over, and had a crack all the way through. It's not worth the risk since the glass could have cut the stitching or fabric. Just let your niece know your reasons for wanting the glass and why you didn't include it. Let her know not to hang it somewhere like a bathroom or kitchen. I worry about the same thing when I gift a piece.
