Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- I have always said, "I would rather have a finished project than a perfect project." In this episode I show you how I correct a cross stitch finishing OOPs!! and mistake. I wanted to shorten a seam allowance I had on a cross stitch pillow ornament. In doing so, I cut too close to my stitching! I show you a technique to make everything okay! Sit back and relax, because everything will be alright.

Great tutorial. The finish is perfected. Love the twine hanger and bow, they really add the vintage vibe of the Santa’s. Thank you.

Even if you don't make a mistake, I think this is a great finish. Thank you for the demo.
Thank you very much!
These pillow ornaments are so pretty love the fabrics you chose as well. Great job! What a helpful video thank you Annie!

Thank you. My biggest fear with finishing is that I will ruin my stitched piece. It’s nice to see how you finished these.
Thank you

Love your finish today! I think the ornaments look fabulous with the fabric framing them. Your oops became a great success! Happy stitching! 🧵🪡
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the tutorial Annie. Your ornaments are beautiful!
Thank you 😊
Thanks for a great tutorial. I never thought about stitching my bow together before applying it.
That is how I do my ribbon bows as well. I cinches it and makes the middle smaller/neater. IMO Thank you xoxo
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial on how to finish a pillow.
Thank you for watching
Thank you for this step by step tutorial. It was a big help in deciding how to finish a couple of ornaments I stitched and was unsure just how to go about it.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the quick run through for a pillow ornament. I've never used twine so you've given me new food-for-thought.
Thank you for watching
Great tutorial on the Santa ornaments.
Thank you 😊
You saved them! They look great! 💜☮️
Thank you 😊
Hi Annie, A very good save for your pieces. Nice job. Hugs, Teresa
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the tutorial. Cute with the fabric. Ornaments or pillows , they are so cute!
Thank you! 😊
Thank-you, your pillows are just so nice !!
Thank you
Thank you so much Anne for such a awesome tutorial. I just bought a new home in Colorado ab=and i am putting things at side to work on until the move from TX is done and i chosen my Santas. Congratulations achieving you ten thousand subscriber. You deserver much more.
Thank you so much
My Art teacher said to stop trying to "fix" it because you are not making it better, you are just making it different. I have used that philosophy for all my art/crafts and finishing. I don't always love it but we are always our worst critics
That's a great thing to remember
Great tutorial! Beautiful little pillows! ❤ thanks for sharing
Thank you
Great tutorial, Annie, Thank you very much. You explain very clearly everything!!!
Thank you for watching. xoxo
Annie…thank you so much for a fantastic tutorial!
Thank you
Great tutorial ….. I learned a tip when I was taught how to hand quilt …. That last thread in the back …. After you make your knot if you push your needle into the pillow and come up anywhere in the back then snip off the thread …. The thread then becomes held by the stuffing ….
Very good idea
Fantastic finishing - they look better like this than if you hadn't cut them short!! Also the French General Joyeux Noel in putty and red is stunning - I have a Layer cake I completely forgot about and am going to find it now so thank you Annie again - love from UK x
Thank you xoxox 🤗
Great job, Annie! Thanks for sharing!🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Very well done. I like the way the material you used frames your cross stitch. Have a blessed week.
Thank you
@@theproperstitcher Hi Annie, I have a question you may know the answer to. What make a sampler a sampler? I am working on a pattern that the designer called a sampler it has a couple of motifs but other than that does not have the alphabet or numbers. For us that are not knowledgeable can you give some insight. Thanks!
Beautiful! I love twine bows...but lately I've had a hard time holding all of the pieces together... thanks for the sewing tip... why didn't I think of that! LOL great tutorial!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for a great tutorial. You did a wonderful job of explaining everything. Beautiful pillows.
Thank you
Thank you for another fantastic tutorial!❤️👏❤️
Thanks for watching!
A very useful tutorial - I am about to finish 2 Prairie Schooler Santa ornaments and will use your border ideas. With the hanging loop, twine or ribbon, I machine stitch this onto the backing piece first before assembling the pillow. A bow can then be added once pillow is turned out, stuffed, and gap stitched up.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this video very easy step by step tutorial. Makes me think I am going to try a pillow 😁
You can!
Thank you for the cute finishing idea!
Thank you! 😊
Very helpful! Thx Annie! 🍂🍁🍂🍁🎃🐶
Thank you for watching
Thanks for a great lesson. Your presentation is easy to understand and a great enabler for making a small pillow finish. Using fabric strips to frame the finished cross stitch piece first, then adding the backing fabric will also allow for a different coordinating fabric to be used if short on backing fabric. Got to go now to make a pillow out of a finished piece I stored in my orphan box.
Awesome 👏🏻 thank you
Great tutorial, and encouragement, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, was helpful. Have a blessed week💕
Thank you
Thanks so much for explaining this so clearly. I am going to try my bow the way you did after your great explanation!! Happy stitching
I will have a separate bow tutorial and use ribbon. It's hard to show on twine. Thank you for watching
Thanks for the easily to understand and follow directions/lesson on finishing. I have several projects that needed to be FFO'd and one was too close to the fabric edge so it has been put off for too long. You have given me the inspiration (push) to finally finish it so I can enjoy looking at it. Thanks again.
You can do it!! Thank you for watching
Thank you Annie. I loved learning how to make the twine bow. I will be trying that out soon.
Thank you for watching
Great tutorial.

Marilyn

Thank you
Thank you for Sharing 💖!!
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial Annie…
I have always finished my pieces prim style, by hand… lap quilting by hand.. no machine… forced me to use my creative hands…
And the Davos fabric is a pain… when it starts to Frey… usually backed mine with wool.. and button home stitch ..
take care Annie
Bless you sweet gal…
Thank you so much. I agree about the Davos. If I had known what trouble it was I would not have ordered so much of it. I suppose we live and learn. xxoox
@@theproperstitcher Indeed… as in Latin Dum spiro spero….while I breathe I hope 🙏♥️🤗
If you ever want to sell the Davos give me a shout, I have a lot of prims from Cedar Hill designs I’ve stitched , that call for Davos..:-) I have a few more to catch up on lol with all my other distractions.
Hood Grey is doing better.. & Tristan ( my oldest sons middle name, Joel bring his first ) I hope he will do well going forward whilst driving 🚙😎
Not like it was when I got my license, there were 5 of us, boys got cars 🚗
first :-)
Bless you Annie…
Thanks for the tutorial!

Nicely done
Thank you xoxo

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am actually working on a pillow that I am afraid might have too small of a border. I will have to try your way.
Thank you
Fray check helps stabilize the edges if they ravel
Thank you 😊
Sooo excited for your 10,000 subscribers! Been a joy to follow you and love love your style and show! Thank you Annie! Enjoy your success! Happy times indeed!! ❤️👍🏻😘😘
Thank you so much!!
Good info. ❤️
Thank you 😊
Annie, thank you for sharing your tutorial on fixing "oopsies" for us. I always learn a lot!
Thank you for watching.
these may have been as oops, but threy are beautiful. I think I want this for sa finish for my ornaments. Thre fabric makes the finish
Thank you
Great tutorial. Your cutting mistake actually made the ornament look even cuter with the fabric border. Good job.
Thank you 😊
Your ornaments still look so beautiful even if the finish wasn’t your first choice. Thank you for a great tutorial!!
Thank you
Great tutorial Annie! I really like the fabric "border" on the front of the pillow, I think it adds character to the stitched piece; A happy accident! Your directions were precise and easy to follow.
Thank you 😊
So funny... I was looking for this exact tutorial to finish a little pillow and I came here and what do you know , you are doing exactly that! Thank you for posting this!
Fantastic!! Thank you
I love the fabric border on the front and the adorable scissors that you added! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you
I never would have thought of adding fabric around the edge before turning into a pillow. I am planning some small ornaments for an exchange and I think this method will be a great addition! Thank you for a great tutorial!
Thank you. Great tutorial. I love the added fabric.
Thank you
I think these turned out so nice. I actually like the extra fabric on the front, your fabric choices are so pretty.
Thank you so much!
BIG thank you for this pillow tutorial, I *think* I can manage this. 😂 Love your fabric border and the charms you’ve added to dress them up.
Thank you
I love those ornament pillows! Thank you so much for showing us how to make them. I can't wait to try my first one now:)
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the great tutorial Annie your pillows are lovely. 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you
Excellent presentation! Appreciate how you describe how & why each step. I’m going to challenge myself & complete a pillow tomorrow. Tks Annie for sharing this lesson with us!
Thank you 😊
That was great - I actually have a piece that needs to have that done - thanks so much - your instructions are easy to follow
Thank you
Looks amazing....great job....love your finishes, way to think about of the box....thanks for taking the time and showing us....please take care...
Thank you 😊
Could you use Eileens Tacky Glue instead of stitching the loops of the bow together? Great save! ♥️
Thank you!! I suppose you could. I have not tried that.
Thank you so much Annie. You did an awesome job explaining everything step by step for us. I love how they turned out in fact I just love the little border on them.
Thank you
Thank you Annie, I have just finished a pillow and I love it.
Thank you
Thanks for the finishing tutorial - always the hardest step for me. I am not far south of you in Hixson TN, outside of Chattanooga. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. 1,2,3,5

This is great Annie and I am sure I will be using it for some cute Christmas ornaments this year. Thank you!
Thank you
Love this tutorial thanks so much for doing it!!
I prefer the border. More like a frame
I agree!
Thank you, Girlfriend 🧵
Hi Annie, Terri Whisler here, awesome tutorial, I love the pillows. I have several of the Prairie Schooler Santa’s, and I think this will be my finish. One question…where did you get your charms? Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
Thank you so much. The acorn charms were a gift and the scissor charms came from Etsy . I will try to locate them
