ABOUT ME:
Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

This is perfect! Exactly what I needed to turn my cross stitch into a pillow without a sewing machine! Can't wait to try it!

Thank you so much for teaching this technique. It looks like a fun and easy way to create a small pillow. I am going to try this technique.

Thank you so much! I am a "no sewing machine" girl. Will definitely use this technique for finishing.

Happy stitching, Marie

Wish this had come out years ago. I made a little pillow for my son and all the videos that I found back then were machines or zippers. But I'm glad to know I did it mostly correct. 😌

[@StitchesAndDiamonds]

Thanks so much Natasha, I too was missing a tutorial that doesn't require a sewing machine ☺
Happy stitching 🌸

This is great! I don’t have an iron, so I’ll have to skip the interfacing. I used to finish pillows like a Biscornu, but this looks so much quicker and cleaner, thank you!

Thank you! I do my sewing by hand also. I do the interfacing on the back on the design but never thought to put the strips along the edge.

Hi Susan, thanks so much for watching! We don’t carry sewing tools but if you search Point Turner & Creaser on Amazon, you will find a number on options 😊 the bamboo ones are very inexpensive, around £3!

[@freyastroud7724]

I've been looking for ages for a tutorial like this that doesn't involve a sewing machine! Probably a very stupid question: is it necessary to do the iron on interfacing and the border strips? Or could you just stitch a design onto fabric and turn back the right way?
