I hope you will try it sometime!

Hi Susan! I had no idea this was a thing. Now, I know how to hem a cross stitched project and make it look BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for filming this tutorial. You did a wonderful job of teaching!

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you so much Patty!!!! I hope you enjoy using the finish on a project. I would love to see the results 😀

Thank you for the tutorial. I just loved it. I learned so much. I really enjoy seeing all your work, quilting and cross stitch.

[@janeandmolly308]

Fantastic tutorial. I believe I heard "Brenda and Laura" recommending your video. I'd done some reading on this subject...but a tutorial like this really explains it so well. Thanks so much!

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you for sharing, you did a wonderful job, with your first tutorial 😊. Always love watching you channel !!

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Ahhhhh thank you ☺️

[@cynthiaknell9575]

Thank you for your detailed tutorial. I'd seen that hem on my grandmother's handwork but never knew how she accomplished it.

[@carolhensley5504]

Thankyou for the tutorial Susan. It was very helpful. I think I can have a first go at this technique now. I'd love to see how you display your smaller hem stitched pieces.

[@susangoehring2493]

Thanks for demonstrating. Now to stitch something I want to hem stitch.

[@trixietricycle]

Thank you Susan! This is very helpful, I think I’ll try it for one of my recent finishes. 😊

[@mariwhitmer5377]

Loved your tutorial! I can't afford framing and have been hemming mine too. I got some good pointers from how you do it, thanks. I back mine with a piece of quilting cotton sewing it into the turned seams. I love your channel.

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

I am so glad it helped you ☺️

[@varshakean6331]

Thankyou for sharing your talent

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

Hopefully the first of many more wonderful tutorials to come! I watched this as the rain was gently falling and pattering on the roof here in northern California so really the hail seemed quite appropriate. The perfect finish to a sampler to roll up and put in a sewing box or embroidered casket in true 17th century style...

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

I just love that storage suggestion!!!!! I will add more to the collection as well…. Happy to share some rain with you 🌧

[@pegpage8618]

Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us. I think I can now give this hem a try. Thanks again. 🤗 ❤️

Hi Susan! Great job on the tutorial! I always wanted to learn how to hem stitch and now I know! I will definitely use this technique to do some finishing. Thank you so much! 🪡🧵🪡🌷🌷🪺🐣🐇💕💕💕

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Excellent I am so glad. Please share your finish!!!! 😉🌹

[@gdrrahn3410]

What a wonderful tutorial! It was great to see how this is done.

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you

[@sharonannc.3079]

Awesome Susan.....Looking forward to your next one :-)) Thank you for sharing... I use this process often on small samplers. Then I stitch them onto a mounting board covered with linen .... Blessing.....

[@sharonannc.3079]

I hope your eye is much better....

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you for the idea about placing the hem stitched item on a mounting board covered in linen !!!!

[@sharonannc.3079]

@@susanstandleystitchintime my pleasure....its an old conceit. I learned years ago from JoAnnn Harvey of the Examplararey :-))

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

@@sharonannc.3079 what an opportunity to learn from her 😊

[@hazelanderson7508]

Great tutorial Susan. You might just find it easier to draw the thread if you pick it up with embroidery scissors and then cut it. You then remove it bit by bit using a needle to pick the thread out and working in each direction to remove it a little bit at a time. This way you don’t cause any puckering or distortion to the fabric. This is the way I was taught and I thought you might find it useful xx

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Oh that’s a fantastic suggestion!!!!!! Thank you so much 😊

[@hazelanderson7508]

Just tease it out a bit at a time with the needle. This is how I do it for drawn thread work. It’s much kinder on your hands too x

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

@@hazelanderson7508 I will definitely give it a try. Thank you again

[@annettelanglois7760]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Loved the mitered corners. I also quilt and have learned now for my small display samplers. Hope you did not have any hail damage. Take care...till the next episode.

[@anitadiller4140]

Wonderful tutorial. I am going to try this with a small piece I just finished.

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

I would love to see your results!!!! Thank you for watching!!!

[@MetroStitcher]

Fabulous tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent with us. I have hand stitched bindings onto quilts, so some of this was intuitive. I have also had to pull threads before repairing a hole I accidentally cut in my linen! But this marries the two and I learned a lot. I will feel confident now trying to hem stitch on my own, so thank you! 🧵🪡🧵 I hope you will consider doing more tutorials. 👩‍🏫📒

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you for letting me know and I am so glad it helped

[@periwinklestitcher]

Super helpful - I didn't know to stitch through 3 threads!! Love this tutorial - hail and all haha!!

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

The weather was an added touch 😙

[@blendaorga1]

Thank you so much for that tutorial. The mystery for me is now no more and I am sure I ca do it 😃🥰🥰🥰

[@blendaorga1]

I can* do it ! 😃🥰🥰🥰

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Please show me your results I would be so thrilled to know that it helped somebody

[@1nickoala]

Thank you so much, excellent tutorial!

Great tutorial Thankyou for sharing 👍🇳🇿🪡

[@ronnietall1323]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@maryellenmcinnis7693]

Thank you for taking the time and teaching us this. I wanted to do this with a piece I finished but since I could not find a tutorial I finished it off with the nun stitch I think. I’ve also finished a hem stitch with just turning under a narrow hem without the holes like I wanted. Now my mind is going figuring out what piece I want to try this hemstitch on. I love flimsy (is that what they can be called in cross stitch. I have a ton of quilt flimsies!)

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you so much!!!!! Please share your hem when you finish. I would love to see it!

[@stitchywitch42]

I have seen this type of finish before and wondered how it was done. Thank you for showing this. And damn that hail was loud, I'm envious of your Sun room 💙🖖

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Wasn’t that crazy??!!! Thank you for watching my new clucker friend 😜

[@gerisheehan2684]

Thank you for th informative video!

[@jenniferharris5021]

Thank you for the Very nice tutorial. Can you provide the information on the needles you used?

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Oh yes the needles are Roxannes Applique Needles. They are available at many Quilt shops and online

[@WIPsandKits]

This is so helpful! Excellent!!! What size needles are these please?

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

They are crewel #28

[@lindamelz242]

An excellent tutorial. You explained it so well. I have a question on how long do you leave it pinned before the final pressing? Your stitched piece with the hemstitch is so sweet. Thank you for taking the time to show this how to do the hemstitch

[@windycitystitchersflosstub8711]

This is a great tutorial. Some of it was familiar to me (maybe from quilting) and some was totally new. Hail storm was an unexpected bonus! :)

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Thank you so much!!! I hope it helps if you decide to try it 😀

[@cassandra3399]

I just loved this Susan. Thank you so much, I’ve always wondered how to do that pretty hem stitching. My question is, can this be done on evenweave as well? I am sure linen is the best but as I stitch on a piece of lugana I wondered.

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

It should be fine. Try Pulling threads on a scrap first!

[@mm-qm9zh]

Hi, Susan! I just came across your channel and tutorial, and am enjoying it so much. However, I’m a little confused…at 28:33, are you stitching on the scrap part of the linen you removed from your project? Is that just a little demo to show us how to hemstitch before you start hemstitching on the actual project? I have done some hemstitching before, but it was very many years ago, and I’m definitely rusty! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with us! ♥️ Meline

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

Sorry for the confusion. My camera wasn’t on and I completed the project 😜. I had to “create” a piece to look like where I left off so I could continue the demo. I hope that helps and if you have any more questions please let me know …

[@mm-qm9zh]

@@susanstandleystitchintime Thanks so much, now I understand! 👍

[@MB-zy4cm]

This would drive me to distraction...life's too short to stuff mushrooms...and do this !😅

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

And to think all those young girls in the early centuries, did this to each of their marking samplers!!! Thank you for joining me today

[@kayross6694]

Thank you excellent!

[@lives4stitching-jenniferl540]

How long do you keep the pins in when you stretch the piece?

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

I just kept them in over night for this piece. I wouldn’t leave them in longer than 24 hours.

[@lives4stitching-jenniferl540]

@@susanstandleystitchintime thank you! And thanks for the tutorial.
