FlossTube #40 - The Hands On Designer - Tutorial Time: the Ribbon Edge

[@marlenecollier8979]

Thank you for showing your ribbon technique. The demo was very clear. Also, thanks for your floss tubes and designs. They are all are very positive. I hope everyone there is staying in good health.

Marlene Collier we are well! I hope that you are too!

Hi Cathy! Judy here. I absolutely loved this video. As being fairly new (again after not stitching for 30 years) I don't have a finish yet. Watching your tutorial here has gotten me pumped up to get a finish. I have several WIPS and a few that I have kitted. Thank you so very much for taking your time to make a tutorial and I love, love, love your technique for attaching the ribbon. I do understand your collecting of things. When I get into something, I like to collect it all. LOL. I have already accumulated quite a collection of patterns, fabric, and floss. My husband asked me just last night how many more things I planned to purchase. I am 64 and I told him that I needed a lot because I was going to I've to be 100. He said that he was going to put all my supplies in my casket if I died before he did. LOL. We have a lot of fun together and try to laugh throughout the day. Laughter is the best medicine! Thank you again, and have a great day and week. Take good care and God bless!💞💕

[@HandsOnDesign]

Judy Hammack sounds like you might need a bigger size casket🤣. Welcome back to stitching!!❤️

Susan O'Bryant thank you❤️

[@austinmiller8899]

I just used this technique on a pretty plain halloween stitch that I was mounting. I had the ribbon and pins on hand, and I have to tell you how fun and easy it was. Will now be looking at pins and more ribbon when I shop my sales. Thank you Cathy for showing your finishing techniques. I just love them.

[@honeybunny5657]

Thanks for the great tutorial Cathy! I always learn so much from your tutorials and appreciate you sharing with us! Never thought of using the pins and ribbon like that--will definitely give it a try. I would love to see a tutorial on how you finish the scissor fobs that have the four corners that meet on the back and how to attach the ribbon or cord to it. Stay safe and be well!

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

Amazing video....both looks amazing...love that you a pin person...I have a great collection to...when Joanns has a 60% off you know what aisle I head for...I have been know to buy them and go back in for another 60% off to buy more.....also I'm working on" Meant To Be" for my Finish class at the Silverneedle Summer School...just dyed my fabric..

[@leslieobryan6103]

Great tutorial!! Thank you! I always enjoy your videos...you're a natural :)

[@HandsOnDesign]

Judy Kepler thank you!

[@rebeccasewing]

I think, for me, first time I would take one of my disappearing marking pens and lay the edge of the piece next to a ruler to mark the half-inch distance on the edge of the piece. It would only take a few seconds and speed up the pinning process for me. Once again, Cathy, you do such a wonderful job with your tutorials. Thank you.

[@HandsOnDesign]

rebeccasewing 👍🏻❤️

[@jeanhardy409]

[@lauralatino7530]

Thank you for this lovely tutorial, Cathy! You are so clear when you explain the process, you make it seem so simple! May I please ask you where is foam core to be found? I live in Italy, so I don’t have access to your hobby stores and need to find alternative suppliers. Thank you! Happy Easter!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Laura Latino I usually get my foam board from larger hobby stores. Where do you order your stitching supplies-would they have foam board. They might at least have a contact for you. How about a shop that does custom framing?

[@eleanork3692]

Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. Wouldn’t you be able to use Mill Hill beads and other beads on the head of a pin as well? For those that have beads in their stash.

[@HandsOnDesign]

That would work. Just make sure that the bead fits in the pin & it doesn’t slide off the top!

[@stitcher54]

I see the pupper in the background. Hi, Daisy!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Lorna Goodell did you hear the squeaky toy😳

[@stitcher54]

No, no squeeky toy, just Daisy playing with it. Good doggy.

[@srinivasradhe2976]

GOD BLESS U

[@cmholt7173]

Found you through the Stitching With the Housewives group. Great tutorial! I agree with another comment that you are a great and natural teacher. Can't wait to watch your other FlossTube episodes. Quick question: How do you display those 3 finishes you showed in the video?

[@kathyeggleston1725]

I am learning! Do you use sticky board? Thanks so much!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Kathy Eggleston I do not use sticky board. I pin and lace my stitching (see some of the printed tutorials that are on my website). I use double sided acid free stitchery tape for just the fabric covered portions (not the stitching). See the video that I referenced for instruction on how to do that❤️

[@kathyeggleston1725]

Cathy Habermann thanks you!

[@terrilane2140]

Would the little map pins work or are they too short/ thick?

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Thanks

[@shelleyjohnson1546]

There are at least two different thicknesses of foam core board. You could always try the thinner one instead of mat board if you have longer pins to use.

[@JemmaDreaminginAida]

Thank you for this tutorial, but I am wondering if you could show us how you attach the fabric to the board...

[@karenfivecoat7038]

I’d love to see a tutorial on using beads to attach ribbon! Blessed Easter to you!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Karen Fivecoat 👍🏻❤️

[@maryjeancollier7041]

Do you have a tutorial on lacing ?

[@betsywise4948]

Love u hair

[@angelabatterman6381]

I am going through all of my crossstitch bookmarks to see whether to keep or delete them. NO way this one is getting deleted.

[@annemousseau8757]

How to make a star patriotic ornament would make a good tutorial.
