Framing a project in an embroidery hoop is a wonderful way to display the piece, but figuring out how to finish the back can be tricky. Maker Team member Jenny of @olivethisfelt does a lot of handstitching and is sharing some of her solutions for finishing embroidery hoops. Enjoy this behind the scenes tutorial! You’ve just poured hours of stitching (not to mention blood, sweat and tears) into an embroidery hoop. You sit back to appreciate your hard work and suddenly realize the back is a hot mess of knots, criss-crossing threads and hidden mistakes. But never fear; all is not lost! Follow along with me for four easy options to cover up an unsightly hoop back and create a perfectly polished piece. Skill Level: Beginner Time: 10 - 30 minutes Supplies: Finished Embroidery Hoop Project(s)One 9 x 12” sheet of coordinating Wool Blend Felt (Ecru shown)One 9 x 12” sheet of coordinating Bellwether Thick Felt (Ecru shown)Embroidery Floss, coordinating or contrasting (DMC 580 and 746 shown)NeedleTacky GlueScissorsTracing PenCardstockLogo Stamp - optionalIron or Hair DryerHoop Backing Template (click to download) Directions: Option No.1 - Blanket Stitched Trim excess felt around the back of the embroidery hoop. Be sure to leave a couple of millimeters of exposed felt around the entire embroidery hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto felt with a tracing pen. Cut out and then remove pen marks with hair dryer or iron. Using one strand of DMC thread that matches the felt color (DMC 746 shown), attach circle to felt lip around hoop back with a blanket stitch. To start blanket stitch, bring needle up through the inside of the felt lip to ensure the knotted end of the thread is not exposed. Continue the blanket stitch around the entire circle, until you come back to your starting point. Knot off and trim excess thread. Option No.2 - Whip Stitched Trim excess felt around the back of the embroidery hoop. Be sure to leave a couple of millimeters of exposed felt around the entire embroidery hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto felt with frixion pen. Cut out and then remove frixion marks with hair dryer or iron. Using two strands of DMC thread, attach circle to felt lip around the hoop with a whip stitch. To start whip stitch, bring needle up through the inside of the felt lip to ensure the knotted end of the thread is not exposed. For this example, I chose to use a color thread that coordinated with the image on the front and contrasted with the backing felt (DMC 580 shown.) Continue whip stitch around the entire circle, until you come back to your starting point. Knot off and trim excess thread. Option No.3 - Bellwether Thick Felt Trim excess felt on the back, cutting as close to embroidery hoop as possible. You want to try to keep it flush with the hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto Bellwether thick felt with frixion pen. Cut out and then remove frixion marks with hair dryer or iron. Squeeze a ring of Aleene’s Tacky Glue around the outside edge of the hoop back and felt circle. Flip felt circle glue side down and position over embroidery hoop back. Press down around entire hoop perimeter. You can choose to clamp with clothes pins for extra security while it dries. Option No.4 - Card Stock Trim excess felt on back, cutting as close to embroidery hoop as possible. You want to try to keep it flush with the hoop. Using the Hoop Backing Template, trace the correct size circle for your hoop onto your card stock. I chose a color that matched the felt (Ecru wool blend) I was working with. However, If you want to add a little pizzazz to your hoop, you can choose a colorful or patterned card stock. As an optional step, you can embellish your card stock backing with a logo stamp, a sticker, or a personalized note. Squeeze a ring of Aleene’s Tacky Glue around the outside edge of the hoop back and around the back of the card stock. Flip card stock glue side down and position over embroidery hoop back. Press down around entire hoop perimeter. You can choose to clamp with clothes pins for extra security while it dries. Now you have a backed hoop that is equally flawless on both sides. For future projects, feel free to play around with different looks by changing felt or thread colors. You can also add a personal touch to your hoop with a custom logo or artist signature. The hoop backing possibilities are endless now that you’ve learned these four basic options. Have fun with it! Thanks to Jenny for designing and writing this tutorial!

If you’ve been following along for a while, you may remember this post, but I’ve been getting a lot of French seam questions lately so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to resurrect this tutorial from the blog archives and set it free a second time. I’m first going to do a run through of the french seam and then will show you how to apply it to the armhole. Just a few notes before we begin… 1. french seams are usually best used on light to medium weight fabric. 2. French seams require you to split your seam allowance in two parts. This tutorial is done using a 1/2″ seam allowance, but if you are working with a 5/8″ seam allowance, sew the first seam at 3/8″ and the second at 1/4″. I’ve tried to notate where this applies. With that, lets get to it! Click through to view the tutorial. French Seams on Straight Seams Step 1 | Cut your pieces from your fabric. I only made a half top for this so photographing would be easier, but yours will look normal of course. Step 2 | Sew the sides and shoulder seams with the wrong sides of the fabric together at 1/4″ (or 3/8″ if you have a 5/8″ seam allowance) and press the seam open. I like to do all of the seams at once instead of completing one seam at a time because you are much less likely to end up with one seam backwards. Step 3 | Grade your seam allowance down to 1/8″. Step 4 | Fold and press along the seam so that the right sides are together and stitch at 1/4″. Step 5 | Press both the side seams and shoulder seams towards the back of the garment and this part of the process is over! French Seaming Armholes (and other curved seams) Step 6 | First we will assemble the sleeves, this part is a bit repetitive. Sew the underarm seams with the wrong sides of the fabric together at 1/4″ (or 3/8″ if you have a 5/8″ seam allowance). Step 7 | Press the seam open and grade the seam allowance down to 1/8″. Step 8 | Fold and press along the seam so that the right sides are together and stitch at 1/4″. Press seam towards back of sleeve. Step 9 | Sew a line of gathering threads from the front notch to the back notches. Step 10 | Pin your sleeve and armhole together with wrong sides facing. Begin by matching the underarm seams and notches. Step 11 | Pull on your gathering stitches to ease the sleeve cap into the armhole. Stitch around the seam at 1/4″ (or 3/8″ if you’re working with a 5/8″ seam allowance). After sewing this seam, check for any tucks and remove them if you have any. Step 12 | Press the seam open and grade the seam allowance down to 1/8″. This will be most easily accomplished by cramming a ham or sleeve roll inside your shirt and pressing the seam around that. Step 13 | Fold and press along the seam so that the right sides are together and stitch at 1/4″. Check for any tucks and correct those if you have any. You should now have a french seamed armhole like the one below, congrats! And that’s that! As always if you have any questions leave me a note below and I’ll leave you a reply; I try to respond to all comments. Hope you find this tutorial useful!
Seed stitch is one of my favorite fill stitches. It's really easy to do and it makes a great texture - perfect for grassy fields and shaggy critters. But there’s a trick to getting all the texture – and that trick is in choosing the right colors – and choosing enough of them. Everyone who’s

Hello! I have been away at Quiltcon in Austin, Texas all last week and I am so sorry I couldn’t post. My computer decided to die while I was there. I have managed to recover the pictures from the show and will be sharing those and lots of fun moments in a post later this week. Today I want to finally share with you the Stabilizer infographic! I finally got it finished and I hope this will be a helpful. As you know, this isn’t everything there is to know about stabilizers, but I hope it will be a good basic guide to get you started. Feel free to print this, post this, share this and comment on what you think. Happy Sewing!
