I have several smaller pieces which using the hoop for completion would be perfect-as yet I have not actually used a hoop for finishing. So appreciative of the instruction you ladies provide.
I have done many projects finished with hoops. In fact, I just finished one and am using your 3rd method to finish a project for my husband. Friday, October 21 is our 50th wedding anniversary! I will be doing 4 more for family Christmas gifts. Thank you for your clear and concise instructions! Have a great day!❤
This video was fabulous! Can't wait to hoop some of my cross stitch pieces. All of you at CCS are wonderful. Marie, you did a great demonstration. Thank you so, so much. X
I'm so glad that you pronounce aida like I do (ay-ee-dah, three syllables) rather than as I hear it more often (aid-ah, two syllables). I heard of the opera before I heard of the cloth and there is speculation that the cloth was named AFTER the opera.
I love this so very much! Thanks to your step-by-step instructions, I’m confident I’ll be able to complete any of these brilliant methods! Additionally, the sound of your voice is so calm and soothing! It could almost help me fall asleep! 😊
I was finishing in a hoop this morning, usually use your second version. But with my next one I will definitely be trying your third version as it is so pretty. Thank you for another great video. X
Thank you so much for watching Caroline, I’m really happy that you found inspiration in the video and that you’ll give it a go 😍 Happy stitching 🌸 Marie
This video was such a big help! I've just started stitching for hoops to display, but I had no idea how to finish one. I'll definitely be using method number 3!
Fantastic tutorial Marie! Thank you 😘 I'm going to finish my Grace Wreath stitching in a hoop this week and will be trying the third method. I'll let you know how I get on 💕💖
Thank you so much Alison, I’m so happy you found it useful and that you’ll be giving it a go 💕 any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know x Happy stitching (and finishing!) 🌸
This is a fantastic tutorial! I'm planning on making a bunch of little pieces for Christmas gifts, so this is very inspiring! I'd like to ask if the glue gun you were referring to was hot glue when you were discussing option 3. I love all three options but I'd just like to know just in case!
Thank you for such a helpful tutorial! With my background in preservation I quickly picked up your comment on acid free glue, so please consider some other material than cardboard (!) to use as it is very acidic and should be kept away from fabric.
Thanks so much for watching Donna and for your helpful comment! I believed that with the layers between the stitching and the cardboard, the stitching would be safe but I'll use only mount board going forwards, thanks so much for sharing ☺️ Happy stitching 🌸 Marie
This was a lovely tutorial and I can’t wait to try it out for some Christmas gifts! Just curious, in the third method is that fabric covered piece glued in or does it stay removable? Thanks for any advice :)
Thank you for the tutorial. I was wondering if you wanted to completely cover the back of the hoop with the material what is your best suggestion on doing so? Meaning having no Aida or whatever fabric showing and not having to insert the covered fabric piece fitting into the inner hoop.
Hi Carmen, thank you so much for watching ☺️ How about cutting out the cardboard piece and leaving it natural like that? You could use some nice kraft cardboard for that. Alternatively you can use a nice card or glue some nice wrapping or decorative paper onto the cardboard instead of the fabric. Hope this helps. Happy stitching 🌸
Hi Jodi, thank you for watching 😊 I haven't had an issue with keeping the projects clean so far but I would not recommend this finishing for a true heritage piece that should last decades - that would need to be framed and protected by glass. For a regular dusting, you could just use a hairdryer every so often to blow off any dust that is sitting on the hoop/fabric. Happy stitching 🌸 Marie
Thank you for watching! Please leave us a comment below and let me know, how often do you finish a project using a hoop? Sally x

I’ve used the second method, and thought it was nice. However, the third option you showed is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to try it!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I love the third version.. I will do this with “shaky hands and beating heart” 😂 Thank you for sharing. Happy days from Australia. ❤️

Ótima explicação! Gostei das opções de acabamento, com materiais de fácil uso.
Thank you for watching! We appreciate you being here!
I want to try the third option. Is it necessary to secure cloth covered cardboard inside the hoop in anyway?

Yes! Hot glue :) Enjoy making your gifts :)

What kind of, and how do you tie the, knot at the end of the easy method?
Finally got it done, but not quite the same way you did it.

@@StitchesAndDiamonds thank you for the suggestions 😁
How do you keep pieces framed in hoops clean since they are not covered with glass?

I appreciate that this is supposed to be quick but the stitches were so messy. I want the private side of my projects to be as neat as the front
Thank you for your feedback!
