That's great Jennifer. Thanks for getting in touch. Clare x
I hadn't even thought of doing an envelope back for a project I need to finish until I came across this tutorial. I love this idea! Excellent tutorial.

Hi Yvonne! Thanks, I try to do my best. Regards Clare x
I am a novice at sewing. I have a latch hook project that my daughter finished 10 years ago. Now I know how to make a pillow with it. Thanks!
Hi Kathleen. You are very welcome! Regards Clare x
I was at a loss when my mom asked me to make old latch hooks into a pillow. You saved me! Thank you so much.
Wonderful! Regards Clare

Hi Amy. You are very welcome and so glad to have been of help.Clare x
Thank you sooooo much! I've had an embroidery on similar canvas made by my sister for 20 years without me knowing what to do with it. It's now a beautiful pillow! And will be gifted to my daughter. I am so happy!
This video is great! I've had two latch hook designs done for about a year and had no idea what to do with them.
Thanks so much for this lovely video - gave me all the info I need to finish off a square panel as a pillow (its been siting in my to-do basket for about 5 years!)....will be able to get that done now!!
Hi there. You are very welcome. Clare x
Thank you for taking the time to create such clear instructions. I used it for a needlepoint canvas. It was a great help.
Hi there. You are very welcome. This technique can be used for so many different needle crafts. I love needlepoint and have done quite a lot myself in the past. Some of which are still waiting for a cushion back as my latch hook business has taken over! Clare x
You are a phenomenal lady, Thank you so much for teaching me how to make the cushion. I plan to make one for my daughter's birthday in a few weeks, now that I can. Many many thanks
Awww Thank you so much. So glad to help xx
Thank you! This was just what I needed, as my mom shipped me a finished latch hook piece, and asked me to turn it into a pillow.
So glad to help. Regards Clare
you made the instructions so simple to follow! Thank you for a great tutorial
Hi Brittany. Thank you so much. Glad to help. Regards Clare
This was just what I needed! My daughter did the latch hook and I made it into a pillow for her. It turned out great and she is thrilled. Thank you for taking the time to create and post this.
Hi Carlina. You are very welcome. It is wonderful to hear I have been able to help you out. Latch hooking is such fun but I believe our good work should be put to use and now you can enjoy your pillow. Clare x
Thank you for this fantastic video. I found latch hook during lockdown and instantly fell in love with the craft. I’ve done a couple already but have been stuck on what to do once they are made. My finished projects have been sat somewhat sadly on my spare craft desk waiting for inspiration. I’m definitely going to give this a try, you’ve explained it so wonderfully and I found the finished cushion beautiful. Thank you 😃
this tutorial was very clear easy to follow instructions with a great finish to the cushion. thankyou ever sooo much clair.
Hi Mike. Thank you so much. Glad it was a help. Happy Hooking! Clare x
Hello Clare! Thank you so much for this wonderful, informative video. My friend and I made a pillow for a lady in our chorus' vow renewal. It's a small music note design and as beginner sewers, this was the perfect video to help us create this beautiful gift!
Thank you so much! My mom just bought me a latch hook kit, so I am very excited to do this!
Happy Hooking! Clare x
Thank you for this tutorial. I will use this technique for my rug-hooked mats.

Amazing video! I've been wanting to try this for a while, but wasn't sure where to begin. Early in my search for tutorials, I found your video, and you have made it look so easy and have laid out the steps so clearly, that I feel much more confident about starting my project. Thank you! 😊

That is fantastic! Very pleased to help. Regards Clare
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve got an odd shaped project and wasn’t sure how close to the knots I should get.
You are very welcome!
This is such a great tutorial! Thank you for posting! I just recently finished a latch hook project, and I wasn't sure what to do with it. At first I thought about purchasing a shadow box from my local craft store and framing it, but this seems like such a better idea and so much more useful! Thanks again!
You are very welcome! Clare x

UtterlyHookedDesigns I would like to learn more from you
What about joining me on Facebook or Instagram Andie.
Thankyou for your video, I have loads of latch-hooks that are completed, but never knew how to turn them in to the pillow or the rug. great video easy to follow thanks :)
Hi Colette. Glad to help! Clare x
Thank you so much for the greats
instructions I
You are very welcome. Regards Clare
Thank you!
a great video, looks simple enough, only problem is, that i dont have a sewing machine.
Thank you ❤️
You are very welcome Kimberly. xx
Thank you for this video!! Is there a particular needle you use on your machine to go through the mesh? I worry about it breaking them!
god bless you. I can officially finish some of the 1.5bazillion latch hook rugs from kits/leftover yarn tails from my crochet projects. Also great to know because I started locker hooking with scrap yarn and it's so fantastic. I'll never run out of rugs and cushions. I'm also super cheap and make quick "pillow forms" with bed sheets and I buy the cheap pillows and stuff the heck out of them. It's amazing how much cheaper it is to buy a pillow instead of stuffing. I'm looking forward to a video though on how to finish a rug. I'm dying to find out :)
Hi Claire, how do you add the extra bit of fabric around the edge of the rug to make a larger pillow? I have an 8"x8" rug I would like to make into a 12"x12" pillow using a border around the rug.
Thank you so much for the video! Now I just need a sewing machine...
Hi there. You can use the same process and hand sew using back stitch for the seams. Regards Clare
Hi I wanted to know if you have any advice for me. I really want a simple cushion with no envelope backing. I also want to hand stitch the cushion. Will this be possible with the latch hook?
Hi there. All you need to do is cut out a piece of fabric that is 2cm approx bigger around each edge than your latch hook panel. Then put the right sides together and hand stitch using a back stitch around 3 sides only. Make sure you use a strong thread. Keeping as close to the last row of latch hooking as you can. Then turn it the right way round, insert your cushion pad and then careful stitch up the third edge with tiny stitches folding in the edges as you go. Hope this helps. Clare x
this is such an AMAZING tutorial I will most defiantly use this when I am finished with my latch hook I do have one question are there other good alternative fabrics you can use other than furnishing fabric?
Hi there. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. You can use Denim or a heavy weight dress fabric, Corduroy, canvas. Allsorts! Clare x
Im looking into buying a sewing machine. it will be my first one, but id like to use it specifically for making pillows. What kind would you reccomend? im shopping on Amazon. Thanks!
Hi Katie. This is quite a difficult question! I have a Husqvarna but I have had it about 20 years! Every stitcher I know likes a different machine. I would get a fairly simple one, not too expensive, around the £200 mark, just to get you started and then if you are keen you can move up. To cope with stitching rug canvas it does need to be fairly robust. Hope this helps. Clare x
Great toutural finally turned my latchhook into a cushion, do you know where I can get a German shepherd latchhook kit from thanks for the video it really helped x
Hi Colette. Thanks for your message. So glad my tutorial was helpful. If you go on Google and type in German Shepherd latch hook kit, loads of links pop up. If you search further you might be able to find one. Good luck. Clare x
That's nice I wish I could do that
Why not give it a go Letanya. Regards Clare
Thank you for encouraging me to do that the only reason why I said that cuz I am in the wheelchair and I I can't use my hands that good if you can give me some suggestions easier way to do that I will be happy but I will try when I get one thank you
@@letanyabaucom951 Hi Letanya. Not sure where in the world you are but perhaps some local craft class could help. Regards Clare
Wow
Glad you liked it!
😙😙😙
Will a standard size sewing machine needle work or do I need something for heavier fabrics?
Hi Kristy. I have messaged you back on FB. Clare
Hi Clare, thanks for the instructions! I've never been able to find good instructions for finishing latch hook projects. :-)
When you are stitching together the fabric and canvas along the bottom edge of the pillow, do you still tuck in the hanging stitches? If you tuck these in, would you actually be pushing the latch hook stitches up, in the opposite direction from how they hang normally?? I wouldn't think you would want to catch those hanging yarn pieces as you're sewing the bottom edge. Appreciate the help!!
Hi Megan. Thank you for your message. Yes, you must push the knots up out of the way or it will spoil the look of your finished project. When you turn your cushion the right way the knots still all lie in the right direction and you shouldn't be able to see any canvas. Hope this helps. Clare x
Thanks!!!
i wonder if you can help me....can you use a crochet hook on a latch hook rug?
many thanks
+Karen Wright Hi Karen. I hope you got my other reply through Facebook. I have never tried to latch hook with a crochet hook, so can not advise. I would imagine it is more difficult but they used a similar hook when latch hooking first started before the latch hook tool was designed. However the latch hook tool was made specially to tackle this job perfectly and easily and they are readily available. Clare x
Thanks
You're welcome!
I inherited a latched top from my mother. One edge is frayed to the latched wool. Any suggestions how to fix?
Hi there. If possible use a sewing machine to put a line of stitching along the canvas to stop the canvas from fraying anymore. Or you could hand sew. You could unpick and add a strip of canvas that over laps and then re hook the strands.Without seeing the damage it is hard to say exactly. Regards Clare
Questsion- you mentioned you can wash the pillow/latch hooked covering.....do you ever have an issue of the yarn coming undone?
Hi Mimzy. Thanks for your message. I am only speaking about my own latch hook kits, I wouldn't like to say about other companies, especially if it is wool rather than acrylic. If the knots have been done tight enough, this is possible. I would gently handwash though and dry flat on a towel. If you watch my other tutorial on How to apply Super Grip non slip spray to your latch hook projects you will see that this product keeps the knots fixed in place on the back of your work and if done properly they shouldn't come out. I wash my rugs and cushions in my washing machine on a delicate wash but then I trust my machine. I wouldn't recommend you doing this often though as it will affect the canvas itself. Hope this helps. Regards Clare
Is there any particular brand of latch hook kits you recommend
, or you would avoid? Thank you
Mona Slattery I would recommend mine! Great designs and high quality materials. Avoid the really cheap ones as people seem to be disappointed with the finished results. It does however depend on what you are going to use the end latch hook for. What every you choose, enjoy and happy hooking! Clare x
Hello, do you use a special foot to sew? My machine can't do it :-( Greetings Caroline
Hi Caroline. Just an ordinary machine foot, the one that comes with your machine. Nothing fancy.
Thank you for the video. I am creating my own latch hook pillow and am concerned about the stiffness of the grid. Should I wash this after finishing to wash the glues out and make it softer? I am worried about ruining the yarn design. Have you had luck washing your latch hook pillow. And how do you do so. Thank you again
Hi Shauna. Thanks for your message. You do not need to wash your project after you have finished. The yarn should cover all the canvas so that it is soft. I am not sure if you can wash your project anyway as I don't know whose canvas and yarn you have used. Both my yarn and canvas can be washed on a gentle cycle and they come up lovely. I even wash my rugs occasionally. I would recommend you hand wash gently and dry flat on a towel. Clare x
Thank you for your reply. I used redheart yarn and "graph and latch" canvas. Both say they can be hand washed. What brand yarn and canvas do you recommend? I have finished my pillow and it looks amazing. Thanks to your video tutorial.

I’ve made a wool hook cushion do I put a glue on the back to finish
What happens if you cut the panel to close because I've cut it one square after the last not
Hi Maria. The first thing you need to do is use the zigzag foot on your sewing machine and stitch all around your panel over the canvas threads that you can still see. Hopefully this will stop your canvas from fraying and keep the integrity. Then I would suggest stitching 1" bias tape in individual strips down each side to the last little bit of canvas showing. You can also use non fray fabric. This will be tricky but perfectly possible. Then you should be able to carry on following the instructions on my video. Hope this helps. Clare x
Help. Trying to put together a snowman huggables and have no idea how to attach the felt nose. It says pin and stitch but how get yarn through the felt?
Hi Sandra. Have you tried contacting MCG who made this kit. If I knew the details and could see the instructions I might be able to give you advice as I have made many soft toys over the years but otherwise the design company should help you. Good luck. Regards Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns Thank you so much for your response. I am working on that now.
I have 2 latch hook kits and I didn't realize you need a sewing machine to finish😖
Hi Luke. You can do whatever you like with your latch hook panels. it is up to you. You can do this technique by hand sewing too, same principle. Clare
Oh its it the technique for the rug ?
Hi again Colette. You were right first time. This is a video to turn latch hook panels into cushions/pillows. Clare xx
Hi sorry just read what i put, what it was meant to say was is it the same technique for the rug?
Colette Ellison Hi Colette. There are different techniques for backing a latch hook rug. You can google this to see if it helps. I like to stitch the rug binding on the back to cover the turned raw edges of the canvas but there are several techniques. If you check out my Facebook page and scroll down my posts you will see several photographs of how to do this. I haven't yet made a video of this but may do in the future. All the best. Clare x
