Flosstube Extra: Cross Stitch Herringbone Ornament Finishing Tutorial

[@lindahartsfield3473]

Thank you for taking the time to make the tutorial. Love seeing all you have stitched. Need to check on a wool pressing mat I have mine next to the sewing machine with small iron . Saves many steps when needing to iron something and it works GREAT. Time saved means more time to stitch. Keep the videos coming and have a great rest of the summer✨✨✨

[@helend.flosstube]

A wool pressing mat is definitely in my future! I've been thinking about getting one for a while.

[@lindahartsfield3473]

Helen D. The mat is great saves a lot of time

[@BettyJo442]

THANK YOU this is a wonderful tutorial. You have quickly become my favorite floss tube to watch!

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Helen, I thank you and the basket of ornaments upstairs thanks you...you did an awesome job❤️

[@gretchenfunigiello2594]

Thank you so much. So excellent. Love your trouble shooting on camera. The real world. Now I need to give it a go. As always, beautiful stitching too.

[@ellenrainie3156]

Helen, A great tutorial! Thanks for taking the time. You make it look so easy. And fast! You are the best!!! Happy stitching!

[@carollin121]

Thanks Helen! Another great tutorial...I didn't mind how long it was, because it was very informative and I liked watching! Your finishes are great!

[@cindystephenson9897]

Thanks, Helen, this was a good show and tell tutorial. I will save it and watch it again when I get ready.

[@francohen9685]

I watched this video all the way thru and I am so glad that I did. You do wonderful finishes. Thank you so much.

[@maryelizabethjaquay9215]

Thanks so much for the yarn hint. I have been seeing for over 50 years and this is a great new hint! Beautiful job!

[@pattifletcher5345]

Thank you for taking your time to show how you finish some of your ornaments.

[@theresalaboda6415]

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Thank you Helen for the very helpful tutorial!

[@mcnelleyfarms]

Thanks Helen! You made this look easy. ❤️❤️

[@EMGcrafter]

Cute ornament! Thanks for showing your process!

[@leslieobryan6103]

Very nice tutorial, Helen. The addition of a button to cover any imperfections on the corner is a great idea.

[@kimmikemoissinac5175]

Thanks Helen, This was a great tutorial. I love your unique ideas for the button, bell and especially putting the thread through the back of the ornament after attaching the cording. That is such an excellent idea and I will remember that. I understand why your sister sends you her projects to finish. Your ornament came out beautiful. Kim

[@maryhint21]

Very informative with clear instructions throughout. I so appreciate the time you took to share your finishing skills. Herringbone stitch, here I come!

[@loriu4510]

Awesome tutorial....thanks Helen!☺️

[@mayolson2]

Thanks a bunch.I loved the way your ornament turned out.

[@nanking4954]

Thank you so much for another great tutorial, you always make it look so easy and love the tips you share.

[@nicolebaudry4447]

Thank you Helen for another clear tutorial! Much appreciated ;)

[@amysamin]

Great tutorial, and the ornament is beautiful.

[@lindabohling7622]

Excellent information and presentation. Thank you for sharing.

[@tamigradert6211]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! I will be giving it a try. Your ornaments look great.

[@carlarowley5929]

Great tutorial Helen! I learned a lot watching you,. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these tutorials when you could be stitching.

[@mauisunset100]

Great tutorial Helen! Thank you for showing how to do the fabric on the front. I have been wanting to do that and wasn’t sure how to do it. I like the herringbone stitch. Also your tip for the corners using yarn is great!

[@cindygehrke5249]

Great tutorial Helen! Thank you!

[@craftingwithneena2862]

Thank you Helen! Great tutorial.

[@lyncampbell992]

Lovely tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@lorrinep1]

Helen this tutorial is fantastic. You don't have to be an expert to end up with a pretty piece. Thanks so much for taking the time to share. I love these tutorials!!!!

[@helend.flosstube]

I'm certainly no expert! I think finishing just comes down to being willing to try something. The more you do it the easier it gets!

[@kaylowry4188]

Great tutorial. Thanks sooo much for sharing ❤️❤️

[@brendah1237]

Great tutorial. Turned out beautifully

[@karenmaloley1750]

Thanks so much, Helen, for another great tutorial. I will be referring back to this video when I start making my ornaments this year. Best, K

[@diannedolha2318]

Thanks for the tutorial. I love the yarn-in-the-corner tip.

[@pepavolpe]

Thank you for this very informative tutorial.

[@patbarone4855]

Thank you so much Helen for this easy to follow tutorial! I’ve definitely learned a lot!

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

So pretty and easy to follow, thank you

[@TheFleurs01]

Great tutorial! I’ve been admiring herringbone finishes like this. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. You’ve given me the courage to try it. Thanks so much!

[@marlenehaller1851]

You are such a pro......thanks for a great tutorial.

[@tinageorge8759]

A wonderful tutorial and I’m a new subscriber, thank you so much Helen for sharing your talents and ideas with us! 💚

[@Romanticnsmfd]

Thank you for taking the time., I love it.

[@duanetebo5871]

Enjoyed every minute. Thank You

[@jeantruckey1502]

Great instructions. Thank you!

[@gaga2118]

Good tutorial Helen. I’ve made pillow ornaments before but none with the extra fabric on the front. Your instructions helped greatly. Thanks!

[@daviskatherine57]

Thank you for another great tutorial!

[@ginamac9112]

Omg this is exactly what I need. I have so many smalls waiting to become something and now they will be. Thank YOU!💛

[@nancymcfall9778]

Love the tutorial, thank you for showing us your finish. Matching prints is hard, they have to match at the seamlines and without pressing the seam allowances back I can't seem to eyeball it well enough to match. I'm going to use this finish for some of my littlest projects. Love the button idea!

[@helend.flosstube]

Matching prints is super hard!

[@lisamunchausen7158]

That was good!! Thank you for showing us how you finish the pillow ornament.

[@marcialaycock1091]

Thank you! You make it look so easy

[@littleflowerfarm4768]

What a great tutorial, Helen, thank you! And what an adorable ornament! I'm going to try your yarn trick for pillow corners...I usually use fabric scraps, but am always looking for ways to make better/sharper corners. And now I may have to give cording a try 😉

[@honeybunny5657]

Great tutorial Helen! Now I know how to finish a cute little bunny design I just completed but didn't know how I wanted to finish it. Thanks!

[@kathywalker965]

Another great tutorial!! Thanks!

[@debrablanson2288]

Great tutorial

[@karenmotsinger3304]

Excellent tutorial! I always struggle with the corners. The fiberfill never stays put and I always end up with floppy corners. Can't wait to try using yarn to fill them.

[@BlackRibbonStitchStudio]

I loved this tutorial and have subscribed! ❤️

[@sharonpetterson478]

Very helpful,thanks.

[@janetlongislandsticher]

I've see this tutorial before, but I just like to see it again just in case I miss something important. Still great job, it looks amazing. 👍😄

[@JackieKLG]

Bless you for matching the directions on the fabric...I would have just used different fabrics. LOL Love this idea, you also probably have some fun stitches on your machine to try as well. Just practice on a scrap piece to get your settings.

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

I use SF 101. A Pellon iron on fusible. Maybe you can find it if you need it. Thanks for sharing your info and techniques.

[@helend.flosstube]

I'll keep an eye out for that one!

[@nana_mcstuffing5030]

Thank you 💖💖💖💖

[@kathynewhart6738]

So cute Helen...thx so much for the tutorial ..I'm a new cross stitcher and this is very helpful:-))))

[@debbierice2618]

Thank you so much.

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Thank you for all the great tips! You do awesome work... i agree with another comment... hang on one of your door handles...they need some cutsie fix’s as well.

[@amymoak9182]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I'm gonna try it out tomorrow !!!

[@kathytansey2486]

Loved this tutorial !❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@peggyyoung1839]

Very nice!

[@kimlayman7]

This is a great tutorial! You explained everything very clearly. I have tried the herringbone stitch with limited success, but I think I can tackle it better now. :-)

[@helend.flosstube]

I hope it was helpful. I didn't think about how difficult it would be to see on dark fabric.

[@kimlayman7]

@@helend.flosstube I actually could see it just fine! :-)

[@The1952trouble]

Great video. I think now I can fully finish all my Prairie Schooler Santa's.

[@mtanoos]

Thanks for a great tutorial! Would you please share where you purchased your "year" charms? I have looked and looked with no luck. Thanks again!

[@helend.flosstube]

Hi Marci! I get my year charms on amazon. I just type in 2020 charms and you get a bunch of options for silver/gold or quantity.

[@yamahamama4340]

Thank you for a very clear and cute tutorial. I love your style!! Where do you get the year charms? They are such a great idea. Thanks again

[@helend.flosstube]

I get the year charms on Amazon. If you just search 2020 charms you can find big packages of 100 for less than $8.

[@cindygaudet1390]

Thanks! So cute and what brand is your cutter? I need a new one and I like the handle on yours. Great finishes and hey button looks as if it belongs! Becca at sambrie stitches hand sews all her pillows and ornaments .

[@helend.flosstube]

My cutter is a Fiskars Comfort Loop Rotary Cutter. I've had it for a million years, but it looks like you can still get them.

[@MistyPursel]

Awesome tutorial, Helen! I'll definitely be giving this a try! I think I may have said this before, but I love that mitten needlebook. Do you know where it came from?

[@helend.flosstube]

My friend Kathleen made it for me. If we're ever able to get together again I'll ask her if it's from a pattern.

[@LorisCrochetCorner]

Ho Helen I stopped by to visit you're Lovely channel. I hit all the buttons and bell I hope you do too Tyfs ❤ I'm soooo Looking forward to seeing more videos!! Have a wonderful day much love to you 🥰

[@conniejlarsen4416]

Hahaha! Great word Helen...jigglage! 😂

[@emarten1]

First viewer - thanks Helen D !!!

[@tracyhunter340]

With the cording being so long and the ornament being big, hang it on a door instead of your tree.

[@paulettecurt-costa8902]

Thank you Helen. Great tutorial!
