Well now Cathy...this would be ideal next to my sewing machine as well. Thanks for such a great idea for all our "stuff". I have mucho stuff at both my stitching corner AND my sewing table. Just so you know...YOU dear girl are an enabler in a good sort of way. I must have some 500 charts collected over the course of my 40 years of stitching and now I'm purchasing the majority of your charts, I love stitching them and now I am putting an order together at the kitten stitchers store for finishing supplies she has available. I swore I would NOT buy any more stitching stuff because at 60 I will never get all these charts done but you keep bringing out so much cute stuff! Well as I tell my kids all the time that I have never seen a uhaul behind a hearse so I will just have to enjoy my stuff while I'm here!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful stitching ideas with us and since I have no LNS anywhere close I rely heavily on all you stitchers and designers out in KZbin land. Thanks for enlightening and entertaining me...and thank Hunny for sharing you with us!!!:):):)

[@HandsOnDesign]

Vicki Ulrich thank you for your kind words!! I should probably pre-book my uhaul!!

[@vickiulrich6694]

@@HandsOnDesign glad to see you have a sense of humor I relate too! You keep designing and I'll keep stitching!!!:):):)

[@joanneobergfell7935]

[@gerryfix1009]

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes2918]

Great video tutorial. I love the creativity you have to make these framed pieces. I recently bought "You Had Me At Flamingo." That's when I discovered your website and Flosstube videos. Thanks a lot.

[@melissac8559]

Looking through older video tutorials and when you said 'look for it to come in early 2020 'you never know what will happen'' made me laugh out loud. Little did we all know..... :)

[@kentuckywomanstitcher2174]

Thanks for the tutorial. You make it look so easy. I like the idea of having a tray instead of a basket or plastic box next to my stitching spot. I will definitely be trying this idea! ~Kathy

[@HandsOnDesign]

Kentucky Woman Stitcher post a picture when you do!

[@carlaburgoon744]

Thanks for the idea and tutorial. I bought a tin tray and made one for myself. Love it!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

[@HandsOnDesign]

Kim Ezman wonderful!

[@lindafedrizzi1131]

Thank you for the fabulous tutorial! I needed the name of the batting and really enjoyed how simple you make covering foam core board! Kathy, I LOVE your designs and own quite a few. Currently, I am working on “Knee High” and the collaboration with Priscilla, “The Fourth of July” from the magazine. I own quite a few of your patterns and am starting the beach one shortly with the tray and matching spool. I own each and every one of the patterns you and Priscilla collaborated on! I enjoy your videos so please keep making them! Congratulations to your son - he is quite accomplished with his Olympic wins! You need to bring him into a few more videos! I just love his smile - warms my heart! Keep designing!!! We need you and thank you for your wonderful additions to our hobby!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Thank you for your kind words! The batting is called Warm & Natural!!

[@rebeccabockhold7333]

Cathy, thank you for your tutorial. I will incorporate your lesson on some of my finishes. I was at a Stitch-In today and there were some flosstubers present. I thanked them and you. For your energy and enthusiasm. I am paring my list of videos down to a few favorites( you are one) .I no longer watch flosstubers that tell their audiences how bored they are with this or that project. That doesn't sell cross stitch charts or make people want to stitch that project. If I find that I do not want to stitch that project, then I consider myself done for the day. I love cross stitch and you do too.It comes across in your videos. My time is precious and I do not waste time with someone who doesn't like what they are doing. You are always bright and cheerful and your enthusiasm is catching. . I always stitch after I watch you. Oh, I bought the Scary Apothecary charts and will buy the others when available. I'm sorry this is so long but I really enjoy your show. Yours, Becky

[@HandsOnDesign]

[@rebeccamills4673]

Thank you for this tutorial. Your finishes are simplistic and elegant! I just purchased some more sticky tape. I’m working on mounting your Hello series. I have a large fabric stash so I think I’m going to use this method for the back of them instead of the wool or wool felt. It would be nice if you would do a tutorial on your entire framing process. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Rebecca Mills - I do have plans...😉

What size is your tray? I bought one, but it looks like it is smaller than the one you showed.

[@HandsOnDesign]

My tray is about 10”

[@fp2ew]

Such a fun video!! Your class at Reflections is adorable; wish I had gone!! Reflections is on my list of LNS' to visit; I love watching Julie on her FT videos and it wouldn't be that much of a trip from where I live in Kansas. Thank you for the tutorial; love seeing how you do finishing. Will you be at Galleria in St. Charles this year? I hope so. Hugs and happy stitching.

[@lynnbencic3089]

Great tutorial Cathy!!! What tool do you use to cut the foam board and what thickness is your foam board??.Thank you again for taking the time to share this with us. Lynn

[@HandsOnDesign]

Lynn Bencic I use an exacto knife to cut. I think that I will talk more about this in my next tutorial!

[@susanbeymer9696]

Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve been attaching my fabric to mat board with Stitchery tape, but I just randomly stuck pieces of tape on the board, and couldn’t get it to look neat. I would love to see how you cut matboard/foam core for your finishes- I have such a hard time cutting straightly and neatly. Love all your videos!

[@HandsOnDesign]

Susan Beymer I’ve had quite a few questions about cutting the board, so I think that will be my next tutorial

[@theresalaboda6415]

Thank you for the tutorial. I’m learning to finish and I need a lot of help 😊. I would love a tutorial on a biscourne. I’m a visual learner so this tutorial really helped. Thanks.

[@HandsOnDesign]

I will remember to do one someday but in the meantime I think that Cheryl from Tiny Modernist has one you might check out!
