Keep us posted on how you finish the back.

Yes, knitting really takes practice. Are you stitching by throwing your yarn or continental?Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601403806570994399.post-88666742319077647872020-02-16T07:54:21.201-05:002020-02-16T07:54:21.201-05:00I love the blue and brown table runner.

I usually put some type of fabric behind my work to so that you can't see through it. I sometimes use hot glue to put another piece of fabric across the back of the hoop too. This has two purposes: it prevents the hoop from separating and it prevents dust from the back. A little rick rack along the edge on the back makes for a nice finish.CathieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466163934848609107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601403806570994399.post-6540248032875758662020-02-16T07:53:43.187-05:002020-02-16T07:53:43.187-05:00I love your colors on your cross stitch ornament. ...I love your colors on your cross stitch ornament.

Frame the embroidery and using double thread do a running stitch around the piece about inch away from edge and draw the ends tight. I then trim the bulk. I blanket stitch the felt in place to cover the back! I will take a photo and email it to you if it helps.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887041472873652880noreply@blogger.com
