Finish with Me, Mounting Cross Stitch on Wooden Board - Stitch-mas Day 6

[@kimjewell5786]

Love your patience for the trim. I do love your cookies.

[@margaretyoder3007]

Liz, I always LOVE the music you choose for your videos! THANK YOU ;O)

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Oh yay! I've had fun picking out jazzy Christmas carols for these videos!

[@BlueSeaBrandy]

I agree! I've added a few of the tracks to my playlists.

[@auraperez6156]

I love to see your process, you made it look effortless, thanks again

[@BlueSeaBrandy]

I'm really enjoying seeing your process of choosing what items to use in your finish. That's the step that overwhelms me, and has led to several ziplock bags full of stitched items begging to be FFOed. Getting those done is one of my goals this year, so thank you for all the ideas! Happy stitching! 🪡

[@ettakaynickel6148]

Thank you for your finishing of your cookie stitch. Hope your mom is home now.

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Gorgeous! Just the red Lady Dot poms is the perfect touch!

[@justinearrasatelloyd2904]

I LOVE this video and I REALLY loved the addition of the little cookie cutters at each end, but, in the crafting/stitching world, to each their own, and I just love this piece!

[@sheliaburton541]

Very cute!!!

[@gerryfix1009]

Love this! Merry Christmas!!

[@robinselby1]

I love that stitch so much! Wonder if a small bow on the top right with a few of the cookie cutters gangling on the tails would be cute? 🤔

[@sandracopeland5649]

Your video was great.🥰

[@angelahoward5352]

Thank you sew much 😘 mini cookie cutters I got at hobby lobby to use too

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Wonderful!

[@debneal4996]

Super cute finish! 🎄 I have the pattern to stitch Sugar Cookies for my sister. She makes iced sugar cookies for all her family and friends every Christmas ⛄

[@michelequilts528]

I am so excited that I found your videos. Amazing!! I added chenille to one of my finishes after watching your video, you made it look so easy and it was. I have the Sugar Cookies chart, all the floss and the board to finish it on. Thanks so much!!!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Yay!

[@heden1460]

Good job.

[@kathygerhart7979]

Thank you ao much your finishing videos. Thinking about finishing projects always intimidates me. You make it so easy to understand and give great references for materials to finish with. Do you have any recommendations on how to start accumulating pom poms, chenille, ribbon, etc to have on hand for finishing?

[@joyceandrewes9178]

Thank you for another great video, those cookie cutters are adorable. You make everything look so simple and easy and you have such great ideas. Have a great day!!!

[@vivscrafts4006]

Love this tutorial, especially as you decide things on the fly. Thanks! Stay safe Liz ❤

[@tinageorge8759]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you Liz, it looks just perfect! 💚

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you so much!

[@sprgstn1016]

Thanks for this great video! I love how you explain what you’re doing and I love seeing all the finishing ideas. :) ~Kim

[@beckipugh9157]

Great video and I actually have that same board ( bought it not knowing what to do with it). Oh your round finish was great also! Really cute pieces you have stitched, thanks for doing the videos. Happy Stitching!

[@pattijensvold1348]

Could you use some floss, possible glittery floss, and hang the cookie cutters from the floss? Attach them to one side of the board with a tiny bow?

[@denised828]

Thanks for all these tutorials. You’re showing me tips and giving me some great ideas on finishes. I love all your tutorials…I’ve made a project bag that really looks good lol Take care of you and yours🥰

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

I'm so glad!

[@pamlacey136]

So adorable. I have this pattern and this makes me want to stitch it!!

[@CrossStitcherTX]

I've watched many videos on finishing. I've laced which I'm not fond of! I've used pins which is easier but time consuming as well! I really love how you did your finishing!! I NEED that making pen. I know you have mentioned it before but didn't catch the name. What is the name of the pen and where did you get it? Love your short tutorials!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

That is a Sewline Air Erase marker! You can get it on amazon or many craft stores!

[@michellegregerson4918]

Looks a lot easier on the fingers to use the glue you use than hot glue. I would think it would be easier to adjust the stitched pieces when the glue doesn’t set so fast.

[@CrossStitcherTX]

I was thinking the same!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Oh for sure! Thats why I love the tacky glue so much!

[@theweestitcherdee6468]

Is glue safe to use on cross stitch fabric?

[@gingerlawson9612]

You have said many time about your mat board and I have been to every place in my town to look for some, none is to be had for, where do you get it off line and the name of it and thickness also. Do you get acid free or regular one? Love your Stitch-mas finishes, you give me the courage to get some of mine done. Will by doing the Sugar Cookies CS for my kitchen next year, that will be my New Year start. My kitchen is in a Gingerbread theme and I try to add each years to it. I laugh with you in the gluing the sign you do some of the things I would, but hay it gets done is the way I look at it. Stay Safe till the next Stitch-mas

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

If you have a Hobby Lobby, go back to the art section and against the wall they have these big vertical files set up with Mat board and other types of artists type boards for sale. I use a board from the brand Canson, www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Painting-Canvas-Art-Surfaces/Art-Paper-Boards/White-Illustration-Art-Board---16-x-20/p/101588

[@cindypeterson1629]

Hi Elizabeth I really want a miniature Cookie cutters those were so cute!! Do you know where you got them?

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Somebody sent them to me, but they are from Hobby Lobby!

[@connieverbeck1110]

👍

[@periwinklestitcher]

Super helpful!! Did you use the glue instead of your pinning method because pins can't get hidden on the sign? or do you prefer glue to pins? love the red trim - its perfect Thanks so much!!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

The pins only work if you use foam board! The mat board is too thing to push the pins into. The reason I don't like to use the foam board for these kind of non-framed finishes is because the foam board is thick and would be too high off of the board if that makes sense. The mat board is much flatter so I use that for non framed pieces and glue!

[@craftecowgirl]

Which video shows finishing in a frame?

[@connieverbeck1110]

👍💞

[@knellwal]

You don’t press your piece before mounting?

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Yes I do! I just didn't show it in the video, but I always press my finished pieces on a towel, on the back side, with a tiny bit of steam!

[@patriciasimon9684]

I think you need something red behind the stitched piece.
