Flosstube Extra: Cross Stitch Round Ornament and Cording Finishing Tutorial

[@judystone3645]

Great instructions! Very clear, and you are so relaxed that it makes me relax. Slow enough that I can stop during finishing my things. Thank you.

[@emanntaha9693]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼كان صنع الحبل جميلا جدا وممكن ان نغزله بدون مغزل اتابعكم من العراق ❤

[@theresapetrik1995]

Thank you, Helen, for a doable finishing process. The cording demo was great, it even looks like I might be able to do it. I appreciate your kindness in sharing your finishing techniques.

[@texasglendastitcher]

It was great to come back and rewatch this for my 2022 round holiday ornaments 😁. Thanks again, Helen!!

[@maryhint21]

Fabulous! Between you and Vonna I've learned so much about finishing. You are very clear with your instructions. I appreciate your expertise so much!

[@judybuelow8049]

You are a very good teacher. Enjoyed....🤗

[@bonniemonteleone1973]

Excellent tutorial!! You cleared the fog for me and now I am not so nervous to try this. Thank You!

[@lorrinep1]

Helen thanks so much for the tutorial! Love the round ornaments and they are finished the same as what I do when I applique for quilting....love the look and the two color cording looks easy enough. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@patriciavaselovic5066]

Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the finishing steps. I just ordered my first one and needed the help. Yours are so pretty and your work is so neat.

[@pavana-rhymes.with.Madonna]

OMG!!! I can’t believe you said, “ compass…protractor…”. I go through that every time I pick up my instrument of same! That’s hysterical!😂❤

[@leslieobryan6103]

Thanks for the tutorial, Helen! You make it look so easy I think I’ll try the cording. Love your ornaments, especially adding a charm.

[@regderickwong8920]

Thank you so much for your tutorials and your youtube channel. I appreciate the generosity of your time and expertise. You are a great teacher, great stitcher, and great educator!!! I'm a long-time cross stitcher and learn something new every time I watch your channel. You exemplify "Live, Love, Laugh, and Learn." Thank you, Nora

[@billdean4313]

Easy to follow tutorial, made my first ornament with cording! Thank you Helen

[@patbarone4855]

You are such a great teacher! You make finishing look easy! Thank you for sharing your awesome talent!

[@fransmith7905]

I finally get it! I’ve watched Vonnas video on cording a ton of times times but couldn’t get it. Yours I totally understand. I think you go thru the steps slower and in your area has more natural light maybe. Whatever I’m so grateful you did this video. Thank you.

[@amysamin]

Thank you so much, Helen! Your tutorials are always so clear and such a pleasure to watch and listen to.

[@jenniveveliverpool8559]

Love your cording , you make look so easy , your work is awesome my dear 👍🏽❤️

[@marygorden2334]

Another very helpful finishing video, thank you, Helen!!! I make my ornaments the same way with a few little differences. Happy stitching! 🤗

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Thank you Helen, this was very well done! The ornament is going to be so cute in that little tart pan - what a great find!

[@lindaslowstitcher2386]

Thanks so much Helen you make the directions for finishing easy to follow

[@moosemom2010]

You make this look so easy!! And they turned out so nice! Thanks for taking the time to share how you do this 💕Michele

[@christine.stitches3983]

Love 💕 your tutorials, you make it seem so easy and you explain very well. Thank you for taking the time to teach.

[@vedatobias1702]

I watched Vona’s tutorial at least 10 times but your tutorial is SO AWESOME !!! I think you explain what your doing more clearly fir me. Also, the lighting is easier for me to see what your doing. I ordered my krienck (spelling) from fat quarter shop. Very cute finish!! Excellent tutorial!!!!! Added to like tutorials !!!! Thanks Helen!!

[@leahlouisestitchery]

I love the charm, nice touch!!

[@l.m.o.8948]

Your Fiskar snipers are the absolute best scissors and great company. They have a lifetime warranty on all products and it is hassle free. I have four pairs of these snipers for different projects. Replacement is quick and easy. Also had my rotary cutter replaced. 🇨🇦

[@bizybee65]

Great tutorial Helen! I need to get busy and make some ornaments. I have my “vintage” cross-stitch ornaments I made 34 years ago when I got married in little round ornament frames they sold back then. These are so much prettier. -Anne

[@juliannefrankie120]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have three round ornaments and was trying to decide how to make them, lacing versus using glue. These are the first round ornaments that I have made and will definitely be watching your tutorial again before I finish them. I also love your idea or putting a charm at the top center! What a great idea and I don’t have to make bows!! Thank you!!

[@bettyhummel3756]

Thank you so much for this outstanding tutorial. It is clear and will be so helpful when I finish my round stitching and the cording tutorial was so so well done. Thank you

[@debrakayser7055]

Thank you. I'm new to cross stitch and found you on KZbin. So I subscribed.

[@theresalaboda6415]

Thank you for the excellent video. I think I can try making cording now. I received my package from you. Thank you! Love your tutorials they are clear and easy to understand.

[@9001012]

Excellent ! Thank you, exactly what I need to finish 12 identical ornaments for classmates 🎄

[@janhietpas4929]

I just ordered circle maker doll needles and 2021 charms. Thank for these tutorials. Very helpful.

[@sherrypilkington6406]

Another well made tutorial. Love it. So easy to follow.

[@carollin121]

Thank you, Helen! A great tutorial...will place an order to Amazon for the cording maker and other supplies... Thanks for taking the time...

[@tonistitchesinky3958]

Helen, this is a FABULOUS tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your expertise. Making cording has always intimidated me, even after watching Vonna’s videos a few years ago. I just finished stitching 2 round ornaments and need to FFO them, so this video will be so helpful. 🤗

[@liligarcia665]

Helen! Thanks a lot for your amazing tutorial, it is really helpful for a beginner like me! Have a great day!!! 😘💖

[@rhondapowers8711]

Hi Helen, thank you for this video! Very very helpful.

[@andreagaisser4981]

Such a helpful tutorial, thanks! For anyone wanting something similar to that pie tin, amazon has mini cake trays (3") that are about $10 for 20 of them. They are gold colored rather than white, and they don't have the hanger attached to them, but you could probably buy a pack of small eyelets in the hardware department and glue one of those to it.

[@sueadams9364]

Love it! Very clear directions as well as great camera angles. Thank you for sharing!

[@carocjs49carol60]

Thanks for the tutorial. You make it look easy. I’ve made single color cording but haven’t been brave enough to try the two colors but now I think I can do it.

[@dianetahmindjis6247]

I've just found your Chanel, love the tutorial and will be bringing on the rest of your videos 😊

[@londonhodnet4079]

Same here, in lockdown in London, going to make one for the tree, thanks

[@janiceboucher7871]

Another great how-to video, Helen! I'm going to try to make a cording....fingers crossed.

[@JAShaskin]

Excellent tutorial! I have stayed away from round finishes but now I’m looking forward to trying one! Thank you so much!!🇨🇦💕

[@gloriafagan712]

Hi Helen, I can't watch this yet due to commitments but I'm so excited! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I'm not working tomorrow so this is my treat! Thank you xxx

[@bleather100]

Thank you! Decades ago, my local XS shop had a class. We stitched our projects on 22 ct over one thread (tiny!) and used two tops from buttons made to be covered (they’re a little convex). I’ve also used Mason jar lids. This year, my projects are a little too large for Mason lids, so I’m searching to see what others do. This is perfect! I’d love to find red tart tins. I’ve almost 10 months until Christmas, so 🤞🏻!

[@misssweetstory]

This is terrific. I’ve been missing a step while using my corder and couldn’t figure out why my cord was wonky. Now I know. Thanks Helen!

[@l.m.o.8948]

Interesting info regarding the cording. I hand twist lengths of scrap fabric and make cord for bowls. 🇨🇦

[@suzanelemay5021]

Great tutorial. Your instructions were clear. Thank you for sharing.🤗

[@donnaholt7012]

Thanks! Fantastic tutorial

[@pugs_and_stitches4675]

[@phyllislundy8803]

Very helpful tutorial! I like the idea of adding a charm, especially the year. Thank you!

[@kim-thestay-at-homequilter877]

Awesome tutorial! That helped so much and was much easier to see. ❤️

[@kathyharris7158]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a cording spinner and haven’t used it yet. So that was especially helpful. Maybe I can get going on some of my ornaments now.

[@tinageorge8759]

Wonderful tutorial Helen, thank you for sharing your time with us! 💚

[@mcnelleyfarms]

Thanks so much for the awesome tutorial!

[@arlenedolan9349]

[@Snichols315]

Great finishing video. Circles and ovals are intimidating but you made it look doable! Thanks!

[@pavana-rhymes.with.Madonna]

Great tips - thanks for a great video! Interesting tip regarding the mat for hot glue gun. I often use a piece of baking parchment paper!

[@jackietrembley9827]

Helen, thank you so much for this great tutorial! I really appreciate that you did this for us.

[@heleneckard4119]

[@lorrainedavison4849]

Excellent tutorial Helen. Thank you!

[@Lily656]

Great tutorial!! Thanks so much Helen!

[@chrisbishop318]

So that is amazing. It might not happen for this year but you make the cording look so easy. I used to use all the gold ornament frames and I love them but they are hard to come by. Plus I love the look of your ornaments, front and back. Thanks for the tutorial.🎄👍

[@pattifletcher5345]

Thank you for your demonstration. Good job easy to follow.

[@dianaramos728]

Love the idea of variegated DMC as cording.

[@pglavin7691]

Great info! Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@BAFriend4]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I think I finally get making the cording. Now I need to start finishing some things,

[@lindioverton5240]

Thanks, Helen. That was great!

[@hazelnut7131]

Excellent video!! I’ve never made a cross stitched ornament before -mostly because I had no idea how to finish it off.😐 And that cord-maker! I’m going to Amazon right now to get one of those! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@Yvonnescraftyadventures]

Great tutorial Helen, thank you so much

[@loriu4510]

Oh my goodness I so love the idea of the date charm. Not sure I could share enough as I would only need a handful lol. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@cindygehrke5249]

Thanks Helen. Always love your tutorials. You also reminded me that I have several “rusty” tart tins stashed away in my frames and finishing supplies! Perfect for ornaments! If you have any good tips on storing all those do-dads for finishing please share! I buy when I see something at Goodwill or garage sailing then forget all my treasures!

[@helend.flosstube]

Unfortunately no. I'm always forgetting about things I picked up for finishing!

[@one_crafty_nana3220]

Thanks for another awesome tutorial!

[@pchaplin8158]

Super helpful tutorial. Thanks
