Making a flatfold has always intimidated me but you simplified the steps and I can follow them no problem. Thanks!

[@stephanieweathers3846]

Thank you for this tutorial! It helped me immensely.

[@patandrews6963]

Nice way to finish with no frame to purchase; and easy flat for storage. Thanks, Kimberly : )

[@lupehawk5930]

Great series of videos! This has to be one of the best finishing videos I have seen. Very well explained and just the right amount of details. Thank you for all you do!

[@sherriplocinski8721]

Thanks Kimberly. You made it look simple enough for all of us to try. Still learning after 40 years of stitching ❤️

[@LoriBickford-LBscraps]

Thank you, this is excellent!!

[@JoannaShoemaker]

What a great finishing project! Thanks for a great CSU project. Hopefully, there's going to be another session with more great tips, tricks and finishing ideas!

[@bakersacres3508]

Look at those mad glue gun skills Kimberly! You go girl!

[@kathyburleyson8968]

What type of glue gun do you recommend?

[@vickipage1909]

Thanks

[@lisamalkowski4240]

Thank you, Kimberly! I’ve been avidly stitching for years and I’m still learning with your Cross Stitch University. I have started teaching a friend to stitch, and we watch your videos together.

Thank you Kimberly!

[@bettywilliams3346]

Thank you Kimberly the finish is great, I never thought of using sticky board. I had to start my cross over because of so many mistakes and I had cut through the adia. I will be posting picture's after its finished.

[@leciastevenson251]

Thank you for sharing, I am going to try this! I love your tutorials!

[@debbierice1363]

[@lorettasmith7594]

Thank you Kimberly! You have recruited me! I am now addicted to cross stitching!! I love it!

[@carolomer4171]

Great tutorial! I watch another one that did this and took much longer and I still couldn’t figure out what they did :)

[@kimmiller488]

Thank you , Kimberly! Great finish!

[@donnacanale4936]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to figure out this technique since I saw a video on KZbin demonstrating it by sewing the pieces together. Well, I am not a sewer, just a stitcher. LOL I am going to try this method. Again, thanks so much. I love your your KZbin videos and your Fat Quarter Shop! 🧡

[@deborahcoffey9956]

[@donashackelford4439]

This is a great finishing tutorial. Thank you!

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Question, Kimberly. Why was hot glue chosen over the 2 sided sticky tape used on backs of other stitched pieces to keep corners & sides attached? The cording is a cute added border!

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Nancy! It varies from project to project. In this case Kimberly thought that hot glue would hold everything together better but you are welcome to use whatever you like.

[@mcrespoable]

Hi Kimberly, I love this

[@krystalrowe96]

Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@kathyeggleston1725]

Can you use your sticky dots or double sided tape instead of the glue? You make making a flat fold look easy. I made two a year ago. And I don’t remember anything, so thanks so much! ✂️🧵✂️🧵✂️

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Kathy! Yes, we recommend using glue but you can use what you feel comfortable with.

[@HeatherKelly]

I am new to stitching and finishing my pieces. My question is could you use double sided sticky tape vs hot glue??

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Heather! Yes, you could use double sided tape.

[@HeatherKelly]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube thanks for the reply! I’m about to make my first FFO as a flat fold 🤩🤩

[@kimanderson9075]

How did you cut the sticky board? What did you use?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Kim! Kimberly used a rotary cutter to cut her sticky board. We have a demonstration here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eojTmYCopLtkrqM

[@stitchingenthusiasts]

would tacky glue work better than the hot glue gun?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Ana! We have not tried tacky glue but you are welcome to if you'd like.

[@michaelafrommunich4264]

Hi Kimberly, nice tutorial. I don't have a good hot glue gun. Could I use a textile glue instead?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Michaela! Any glue that has a permanent hold will work!

[@michaelafrommunich4264]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube Thank you ❤

[@heden1460]

Hm...it looks simple enough. I thought you would have used the tape you sometimes use instead of the hot glue. Is there a time it's better for one or the other or is it just preference?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Heden! It's just personal preference.

[@heden1460]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube I had the cross-stitch finished a while ago, but I just fully finished it today. It is easy. I didn't do the cording around it, although I might change my mind later.

[@peggymcginnis4257]

Thank you for the lesson. It's easier than I thought. I enjoyed the video, but truthfully I could do without the annoying music. Thanks.

[@daniellehuggins6316]

I’m definitely going to give this a try with a recent small finish. Love it!
