[@Shirls_FreedomStitcher]

I watched your cording video and just now made made my own double cording. Easy peasy and I love it! Thank you for sharing your talents. Bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@thoughtsofawindowgirl2112]

I finally broke down and bought a Krienik corder. You live and demonstrate your faith in all that you do. Take care.

[@teriadams7398]

Vonna you are a wealth if knowledge, I get surprised every time I watch you. 🥰

[@cynthiajfuller]

Thank you so much for the updated cording instruction. I have watched your other several times and have made cording a couple of times. This video is even better and I think will make it easier for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your life. You are a positive and uplifting person. You have made my day and give much encouragement with your IG post. 😃❤️

[@diannekorber9425]

The Lord has blessed you with so many talents and he has blessed the stitching world with you sharing your talents! Thank you!

[@ramonawalter5555]

Thank you so much for your updated cording tutorial. It does seem easier when you show it from above. If memory serves me correctly I think your other cording tutorial was in your basement and you latched the floss to one of your shelves. I tried doing it but it was a fail. I think this one seems more doable for me. Thanks again.

[@joycehoferer9103]

Thank you for all your videos. And you could always become a hand model if this finishing gig doesn’t pan out for you. 😉 you have the prettiest hands and nails!❤

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

Thank you ❤ I always think I have man hands 😂

[@suez1902]

Cheers from Canada! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I would love to learn how t sew cording onto a pillow. Would you consider doing a video on how to do the whip stitch, how to create a quilters' knot, and finish an item? I am so grateful for people like you in the world who are willing to share their knowledge and skills. 🌺🌷🌺🌷

[@shawnduray6297]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Yes, I'm shouting! I always thought I had to go buy cording for those pretty edges. That limits you to their colors and is so expensive! I've ordered my Kreinik Cording Drill and can't wait to make my own! You. Are. The. Best.

[@IllDiTryn]

To have you in this video on my iPad, propped up on my worktable coaching me through this while I attempted my first length of cording (which came out so good I put it on a finished piece!) -well it was chef's kiss! Thank you so much for this and all the rest of the tutorials you freely share.

[@DebrafromMD]

Vonna, you are such a treasure to the stitching community. Thank you for sharing your tutorials and talents with us.

[@candydeister]

Every single time I finish a piece, I watch your cording tutorials. You are the best! Thanks for sharing!

[@carolturnerrd]

Your generosity of your time and talents T-shirt so greatly appreciated and so very timely ❤ May the joy of the season fill your home.

[@susanbeymer9696]

Thank you Vonna, I love this method. Much easier than using an eye hook in the wall.

[@clhDallas]

Have been using your other method for several years with good success. Now prefer this method! Much easier to keep the cording tight. The clamp is key! Thank you, Vonna! 😍

[@diycraftsnhacks]

Thank you Vonna for your excellent videos. I have admired ornament cross stitch projects but have been hesitant to make many myself because I really did not know how to get great finishing results. So glad I discovered your videos! Thank you for generously sharing your techniques and knowledge! ❤

[@michellefrothingham4275]

👏👏👏💕🌸🙏. Thank you Vonna… wonderful and very much appreciated tutorial!!!

[@Jckay2003]

Thank you. You’re are great teacher. I have learned so much from your videos. I sew, so … some of my cross stitching friends were looking for someone to finish their little works of art.

[@JoanneToby]

Thank you so much, Vonna! I successfully corded my first piece! Thank you, Helen D for linking this!

[@kckoehler1766]

Thank you Vonna. You are so generous.

[@northerngail0385]

Hi Vonna, Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just made my first two-color cord using a cup hook with my electric drill and your technique. I didn't want to invest in a special cording drill so tried the electric drill first. Mine has several speeds. I love how it came out and the dollar savings from buying twisted cord by the yard. Two skeins of DMC @ .65 cents each compared to $6.00 a yard at Jo-Ann's. Just want you to know how much I enjoy everyone of your videos and articles in Primitive Stitching. Thank you.

[@lindacraig5056]

Thank you for the updated version Vonna. I really do need to do this. I don’t know why I have been afraid it won’t turn out for me. The most I’ll do it throw away some floss . I will do it

[@bubbalynn49]

Thank you, Vonna, for this detailed tutorial on cording. I appreciate all of your tutorials!! I just finished two flat folds using your tutorial, and now I will be able to make custom cording for them. Our stitching world is blessed by your generosity! Thank you! ♥️

[@vastitcher1599]

Thanks for the new tutorial. I can see the potential for longer cording without having someone come help me!

[@milestonewelsh]

I am looking forward to using this on my Mill Hill ornaments. Thank you, Vonna!!

[@betsywise4948]

Vonna, your hands and nails are so pretty. Thxs for this video. Just learning.

[@rebeccamills4673]

What a wonderful tutorial!! Thanks for showing how to make 3 colored cording! You are appreciated!

[@debramckenzie266]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Such nice gifts from you to all of us

[@kristyross2591]

Best cording tutorial ever! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I did make sure to use generous measurements so I would be sure to have enough finished length.

[@rhondayork3342]

Thank you! I am going to give this a try! You are so talented and generous with teaching others new skills.. The BEST of the Best! Many thanks!!

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

[@melissagay2237]

Fabulous instructions for the “new” way to make twisted cording! 👍🏻

[@missaney1]

Thank you Vonna!!! I have been inspired by tour article in PNPS magazine this spring and with help of your cording video have finished two flat folds!!! You are the best!!!

[@grandmatwins]

Thanks for the updated video -- just in time for me to make my item! I've watched both and this one is much easier to understand. Thanks!

[@pamelahicks9233]

Thank you for the WONDERFUL instructions! I made 3 color custom cording!

[@danafollowwell2159]

Thank you so much for this video. I tried to figure out how to make 3 color cording on my own and couldn’t make it work. Thanks for showing me how.

[@christinecrane4864]

This seems like a much easier way, thank you! Can't wait to try it out....

[@lynnruss4823]

Thank you so much Vonna! I’ve avoid doing cording because I thought it was really hard to do by yourself, but you’ve made it look so easy. I really don’t know what I was afraid of-other than my own lack of knowledge. Love your video’s, your blog, your articles and everything else you do! Thank you for being the bigger than life inspiration to me & many other stitcher! 🤗😘🙏🏻 Lynn

[@lisashults1676]

I remember making cording in the early 90's used a hook for the DMC with a clamp and we used a fishing triangular weight to spin it. 😂

[@sharonneylon6799]

Thank you Vonna. You are so generous to share your finishing videos . I look forward to trying this. All I need to do is buy a table clamp. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@5lsmith]

I love that we have an alternative way of doing this, I love the way you did it in the first video. When it comes to tape, any tape, I’m all thumbs and toes!

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

This one I shared because of very long lengths and for cord with 3+ colors. Makes it much easier. I only use this way for those two reasons.

[@caroljshockey91]

Can never thank you enough for all the wonderful things you have taught me. I am a number 1 fan. God bless you always.

[@judemack8604]

Always wanted to kow the correct way to do this. Thank you!!

Thanks so much, Vonna. This new way of doing three color cording looks so easy. I always have to have another person help me do it the old way.

[@StitchingisElementary]

Thanks Vonna!

[@cheryla786]

Thank you! Just got my sewing machine out from the garage. Will attempt to finish a cross stitched pillow and using your cording technique! Excited!

[@alicesmith9998]

Vonna, thanks so much for another great video! I can see how this would be easier to deal with long lengths of floss. I will definitely give it a try. Thank you so much for helping so many of us with all of your tutorials. Thanks to your generosity of time and knowledge in making the tutorials, I was able to make two flat folds with two of my cross stitch pieces. I watched and followed along with your flat fold tutorial and your cording tutorial. I’m very happy with them and excited to do more. I just cannot thank you enough!

[@StitchALLTheThings]

Thank you so much, Vonna! This is going to be a tremendous help for those long pieces! I can't wait to try it. I've also realized I haven't been using enough strands of the floss. Only 4! So I will be adding more to mine too, since I like that fuller look of your cording. Thanks again for sharing your tips and tricks. I appreciate your time spent sharing your knowledge with us!

[@allysonwoolworth1564]
