You’re welcome!

Love the way you finish! Thanks for the tutorial. Oh!! And “ORT” has a couple meanings appropriate for Xst - The word ort reportedly comes from Middle Low German and means leftover. ORT = noun. A scrap or leftover (of food at a meal). ORT the acronym = Old Raggedy Threads or Orphaned Random Threads. 😁

Thanks! And yes, I did a bit of digging on this and found the same thing! It’s funny to see how these names come about

Love a quick, easy finish. Thank you for the tutorial. I like to tape a piece of felt over the back to cover all the seams.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

That's a great idea!

You are so welcome! And I love it too, it was a gift from my lab mates in undergrad when I graduated :)

I use a pin or needle for the times I struggle getting the paper off the double sided tape. Will be using this method for my next finish. Currently turning one into a clock w foam core as the stabilizer ❤

[@STEMxSTITCH]

That's a great idea! And that sounds like a neat finish!

Thank you for this tutorial! Simple and gets the job done. I have a question for you. When you did the mini masterpiece projects, did you use 14 count with two strands? I’m doing the Mondrian right now and I started with two strands and I didn’t like the coverage. It was too sparse. Then I went to three strands and it’s too chunky. Yours looks great. What did you use?

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Technically I am using 14 ct with 3 strands of DMC. Though in reality, I am using 28ct Charles a craft Monaco from Michaels and stitching over 2 with 3 strands, so I suppose depending on how exact that is it could technically be slightly more or less than 14ct. For context though, I do tend to like more “chunky” dense coverage with my stitches. I did do one of these with two strands at one point and thought it was a bit sparse but it still ended up looking good in the end when it was framed!
