A Mounted Flat Ornament - cross stitch finishing with Vonna Pfeiffer

[@debbiemarx7379]

Look no further than this super talented lady for finishing tutorials. There are some real slap dash vidoes out there, and Vonna puts them to shame . Thank you for so many professional tutorials, they are fantastic!

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

Thank you for your very kind comment!

[@janeweber197]

As a new cross stitcher I’m not willing to pay to have my pieces finished, yet I want them to look like I did, you’re the answer to that dilemma! Thank you so much for giving up your secrets. 😍

[@518stitcher3]

Dear Vonna - I watched this video on repeat today. it took all day to finish one ornament (no bow and store bought cording!) I don't know how you do it. Thank you so much for all of your tutorials.

[@pampeterson3092]

Thank you so much for sharing your methods of finishing. I appreciated your videos and refer to them. You are very detailed in your instructions. Your finishes are stunning.

[@conniebell118]

As always--great tutorial with lots of little tips that make it look great and be so sturdy. You are a treasure to the stitching community. Thank you!

[@susanfromcolorado623]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Your tutorial is just what I needed for an ornament exchange ◡̈ . Sigh - you are wonderful Vonna!

[@lratley4420]

Please continue these instructional videos. Love them

Thank you once again Vonna. Another helpful video.

[@christinenelson7042]

Thank you Vonna, what a blessing you are for taking the time to share with us soo much! God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas!🎄

[@paulagolden4731]

Thank you!! As always your finishing is beautiful!! I learned a few more things today that I will employ when I do my finishes. I like the way you add the rick rack.It is much neater. Your directions are clear. I cringe when you use fractions 🤣🤣🤣 my own childhood anxiety!!

[@RedwoodsAndRain]

PERFECTION, Vonna! Thank you as always. So great to see a master at work. 😁

[@susanhowai6535]

Did I mention how amazing you are! I love your work. Thank you for sharing it is so appreciated.

[@kathymcdonald367]

I always love your videos. You are so careful with your work. Keep them coming.

[@chrisb5391]

I recently viewed a video on wool appliance and your video showed up in my feed. Thank you for this video.

[@marilynmcdow4449]

Vonna ,can’t thank you enough for sharing your finishes in such detail. Your time is precious, I know. This will be the ornament finish for me!

[@janean3773]

The first video I watched of yours was an old, old video. lol. You don't say "okay" & "alright" nearly as much. Your presentation has really improved! ❤ You're a talented, perfect and understandable teacher!

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

I say OK and alright because I’m trying to put people watching at ease like I’m carrying on a conversation with them. Yes my presentation got better after purchasing a $500 boom arm for free videos and getting to move upstairs to a warm room rather than a unfinished basement.

[@Sharmelle586]

Great tutorial--thanks so much for sharing! Thanks especially for the tip on going through the knot when lacing linen pieces. Never thought of that before and that will help me so much when I'm finishing projects.

[@alisonmary1443]

Thank you so much, I made 3 miniature hangings for my friend at Christmas and had no idea what I was doing so opted for EPP the front to back, it worked but was not the finish I wanted, so grateful for your share, beautiful work.

[@RonAustiff]

What a great tutorial. After spending hours on a cross stitch pattern, you show how to finish it off professionally with a simple procedure.

[@michelemead841]

Vonna your the best. Thank you for sharing your talent and years of finishing tips. God bless and have a Merry Christmas

[@sharonpetterson478]

I,m 74 and have done many crafts in my lifetime,cross stitching being my favorite. I,m still learning from generous talented professional such as yourself. Thanks for all the great tips. Going to go do another finish now. Thanks Vonna

[@mswillette]

Thanks for sharing. I have many ornaments that I have stitched but have not fully finished. I will definitely try this one. Happy creating. 😊

[@perkyperkins7768]

Vonna , you are such a kind and generous person. You have such a gift as a teacher and your instruction is easy to follow. I have learned so much from you. So far I have made a drum and a stand up. My goals for next year are a strawberry and a mattress pillow. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Merry Christmas and God’s Boeings upon you and your family in the coming year.

[@jeantruckey1502]

Thank you, Vonna, for generously sharing your tips, tricks, and expertise! 🪡🪡🪡

[@joysloanyoureallycanmaketh724]

oh I love these tutorials. Thank you so much for doing them. I started sewing at the age of 13 I’m now 75 so that’s a lot of years most of my sewing experience was with garments and some household sewing. Finishing is a lot different so I appreciate learning your tricks and tools that you use. It was important to me when I was sewing for people that their garments looked as good on the inside as they did on the outside and I see that same philosophy in your finishing techniques so I value what you’re doing because you are a perfectionist and so am I.

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

Thank you for taking the time to write this comment and understanding what I'm trying to share. Thank you!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Thank you again, Vonna.

[@janeybrookmyer1505]

Thank you so much, Vonna! I watch and rewatch your tutorials. You are always so helpful! Hugs

[@angelasawyer6714]

[@valeriew5113]

Thank you for showing us this tutorial. I cross stitched 40 years ago and just starting to pick it up again

[@cinn1217]

Totally awesome, I now have confidence! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

[@Sues_knots_and_crosses]

A lovely finish. This I will definitely be trying later this year as I stitch some ornament’s throughout the year. Thank you for sharing your knowledge x

[@justsewsherry7184]

The timing of your new video is perfect. I have four ornaments to finish and will be following your instructions. Lacing intimidates me but i just need to put my big girl panties on and do it. Aside from the great content your videos offer i would also like to thank you for the quality of your videos. Your voice comes across crisp and clear and easily understandable. Thanks for sharing.

[@luciabeaumier9738]

[@stitchywitch42]

when I first heard of FLOSSTUBE, you were the very first person I watched and I binged all of your tutorials. watching this one and knowing that you have finished so many beautiful pieces, I find it helps to review of you have already taught me, I loved the opps in letting the glue dry and learning how to reactivate it. Thank you lady for always sharing your talent Audrey

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

Thank you 😘

Amazing!! Especially liked the rick rack tip.

[@leesingleton1]

Thank you so much for giving of your expertise. I learned so much... You are a wonderful mentor and I love watching and learning from you... Bless you!!!!

[@StitchALLTheThings]

Vonna, I know I may say this a lot, but I can't say it enough... THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and tips and tricks with us! I didn't have time to watch yesterday, as it was day 1 of baking goodies, but made sure to take time this morning before day 2 of baking started. Which means when you said, "All-purpose", I too finished it with "flour". LOL!!!!!! Thank you for keeping your little errors in there, and showing us how to fix them! And, boy-howdy that "measure twice, cut once" rule has saved my patootie a bazillion times! I have often been curious how you have made the hanging ornaments with the knots, and I truly appreciate you sharing that technique with us, as well as how to make our ornaments sturdy for years to come. You are a treasure, and I truly appreciate the time you spend to share this skill with us!

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Thank-you for this video I did learn one thing I never thought of to corner trim the backing fabric a great idea, thank-you Merry Christmas Catherine

[@marygillmarten6758]

Vonna, thank you. I have a much better appreciation for why professional finishing is so expensive, but I also feel empowered to do my own finishing now, which is important as I've recently become active in a local guild that raises funds for a local historic building and one of our major fund raising activities is providing needle crafted items for the building's gift shop! Beautifully finished ornaments R me! (We do an annual ornament based on the building's history, last year we did a design from the china of the home for example, which are finished much more simply.)

[@teriedsall9115]

Thank you again for another GREAT tutorial!! I learn something every time I watch you!! You’re the best!!

[@annkinney2043]

Beautiful finish. Love your tutorials!

Just love this lady! She is my finisher! Thank you, Vonna for all you do! ❤🤩

[@ClaudiaDencker]

A very nice video. Helped answer several questions.

[@jayneterry8701]

Your work is exquisite Vonna. So enjoyable watching you work your magic 💝

[@cheryla786]

Definitely time consuming for all of the details, but WOW so worth every minute. Thank you for todays bow video and this one. Cannot wait to try both.

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

It is very time consuming to stitch too, I want only the best to showcase such precious work I’ve spent my precious time on.

[@margaretkrueger9664]

Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I have many ornaments to finish, and this puts another tool is my bag of tricks. Blessings!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

I cannot thank you enough for sharing your talent with our stitching community.

[@cindyward5133]

I love your finishes! Thank you for your finishing videos. I am so glad you sew, instead of gluing. I see a lot of hot glue guns on finishing. I don't do well with hot glue and am so afraid I'd ruin my stitching. I will use the lacing method for my finishing projects.

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

I've been finishing and giving free tutorials for 18 years. Sometimes hot glue is a necessary thing in finishing - but with the wide swath that it is used in finishing due to some popular trendy cross stitchers - I do believe it is overused and ruins most things to where in future - one would not be able to "save" the stitching to refinish if needed an update. It is also hard to work with, not very forgiving and the culprit in most finishes that are lopsided and wonky. It is best to go with products that you know you can use with ease.

[@kathydecker889]

Thanks so much for sharing these videos. I always learn something new!

[@BonnieBrown426]

Thanks for another great tutorial

[@susannieuwoudt9054]
