| | On The Blog: Finishing your Hoop with a Fabric Back | | Want to give your embroidery hoop a beautifully tidy finish? Check out our blog on Finishing your hoop with a Fabric Back! ✂️✨ This method is perfect if you're planning to gift, display, or even sell your hoops. Using a simple whip stitch and a piece of felt, you'll create a polished, professional look that hides the back of your work while keeping everything snug and secure. Ready to take your finishing skills to the next level? Head to the blog for the step-by-step guide and get stitching! | | | | |
Our Embroidery for Beginners Facebook Group has been super busy with stitchers asking questions, sharing progress and helping each other! Here's some highlights: - Beginner Guillian asked for some ideas on how she can use embroidery to mend holes on clothes. Add your suggestions here.
- Elizabeth asked some opinions about joining the Maker's Academy. Read the feedback of our Academy Members here and why they love it!
- Stitcher Natasha shared her last finished pillowcase project for Christmas. She created 12 of them with embroidered letters on the front and fabric on the back. Admire them here.
- Laura shared the embroidered scissors case she created to avoid loosing her scissors while embroidering. Check it here.

Wow aren't the days flying by in the lead up to Christmas?! We just had our last online staff meeting until the new year, and it sure feels weird talking about wrapping up 2024! I've spent the last few days focused on filming a wonderful video experience to go with our new lettering sampler kit. For those of you who want to gain confidence around adding embroidered words and names to your patterns - you are going to love this and get a lot out of it! Bess and I have also been stitching up a storm to create a couple of happy floral patterns to celebrate Valentine's Day next February. We've had a lot of fun coming up with designs that are lovely and romantic, but not too cheesy right? And I think we've hit the nail on the head with a couple of new designs - watch this space… Alright, I better head off to crank out some more work while the kids are occupied on play dates and activities. And I'm looking forward to wrapping some gifts and sitting down to do some stitching tonight…Well that would be happening in a perfect world, but let's be honest I'll probably still be cranking out chores and packing for our holiday ha ha. Have a wonderful week, everyone. Happy Stitching! | | | | |
