Requested video, showing how I turn a large finished piece into a wallhanging.

That is an amazing cross stitch art piece!!! You are extremely good at it ❤❤❤

Hi Gemma-right after I commented on your finish…this video came up. Brilliant. Thx for all of this.

The end result is beautiful

So beautiful ❣️❣️❣️

Please never stop posting. Your videos bring me so much joy. You are the best flosstuber out there!!

Thanks for showing us how to finish a stitched piece into a wall hanging. It was perfect timing for me and now I can finish my Autumn Leaves banner! Cheers,Marilyn 👏🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

Very helpful!!

Thank you for this tutorial. And I seriously like this better than an actual frame. And as you said it will also be a lot lighter, so not to heavy for the walls ❤ I love this. Thank you.

it's beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to show us how you do it.

Im glad you shared this with us. Its absolutely stunning!!!

This is lovely! I will do something similar. There are easier ways. I'm too ill to explain but look at how to back a quilt and make a quilt hanger. That sort of thing. Then you wouldn't need to use so much of that fusible stuff. There was your sewing machine sitting in the background crying because it didn't get used to its potential. Your way of doing it works for you, I'm just saying there are easier ways. Beautiful.

Truly amazing. Thankyou for showing this video. It was fascinating to see how you framed this stunning piece. I am always glued to your videos 😃

Thank you for the tutorial! Your FFO is stunning. Congratulations!

What a great idea. Thanks for the tutorial.

That is am absolute amazing piece.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. My wips are huge and I know I'd never be able to afford professional framing for any pieces I finish so I'm definitely going to try this! Yours looks beautiful 🥰

Awesome tutorial Gemma....I watched it right when you uploaded it but didn't have time to comment. Your a natural teacher. And so glad didn't have to wait until your son went back to school to see you finish this Masterpiece....reallyturned out Amazing and the fabric is perfect 👌

Thank you for inviting me to this presentation💞it is such a good tutorial & your work is Beautiful🌿🌹🌿

I have a ten forward T shirt! Live long and prosper!

You are awesome! Love your t-shirt and the stitching is amazing. Wow.

Wonderful

Très bonne idée je l'ai vue sur ton mur c'est super beau merci pour toute tes idées et en plus on a la démonstration Bravo Bravo Gemma.

Lovely. Thank you for this.

Thanks!

Amazing job!! It looks so good! Please share pics when it’s up on your wall 😍🥰🎊

Beautiful!

Beautiful piece. Did ironing directly onto your stitching make it shiny or flat?

Can I assume this is double sided fusible web? Can you recommend a brand? Great tutorial!

Hi Gemma, this is a great tutorial. How long did the piece take to stitch. It's beautiful. Susan

Is that super-sized or regular size

beautiful piece, beautiful job! how long did it take you to stitch that?

where do you buy such large aida cloth? I don't have access to a needle work store
