hi Annie, just found your channel and like it very much. I can't do X Stitch anymore so I do a lot of Embroidery - I still make pillows, project bags from my work as well as framing it. Your video tutorial was GREAT. I LOVE cosy chat/tutorial type videos and love all your makes and your sewing space, brilliant. It looks very Chic. I am from England and am LOVING your fabrics, don't see anything like that in my local fabric shops. You have a subscriber for life and shall enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you Annie, and yes please do more tutorials you were great. x

So cute! thank you annie x

Very good tutorial even if it is your first! Thank you for sharing!😊they are all so pretty.

Thank you for the tutorial Annie

What a cute way to finish.

Thanks for the tutorial on the pillow it has helped me to start making my Christmas ones also.

Great tutorial. Your pillows are beautiful.

My word, for the second year in a row, is ACCEPTANCE. It's one of those things I struggle with regarding myself. I am hoping it sticks with me this year!!! I just discovered your channel and am loving it!! 1,5,6

Thank you for the tutorial! I have never done anything with my finishes except frame them. Now I am going to try this!!

Clear instructions. Thanks so much for sharing!

Annie you did an excellent tutorial thank you so much. now I will know how to stuff a little

I'm really enjoying your videos. I am a quilter but, I think watching you I may have to make those Christmas ornaments. 🎄

Wonderful tutorial!!! Thank you.

Beautiful tutorial was very helpful.

Love your ornaments.

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you

That was a different way. Thank you.

Thank you so much Love the ornaments 🥰

Wow, thank you sooo much for this video.❤❤❤❤❤🪡🧵

Great job and tutorial.🍎🍎🍎

I enjoyed this! Some very helpful tips and tricks.

Thanks for this tutorial. You’ve inspired me to give this a try.

Thank you for that tutorial. I think you did great and I learned something new!

I have this JWB booklet, and 32 count antique white fabric, so I too, will do this when I finish some fall stitching. I want to commend you on the great tutorial and your ornaments are fabulous.

This was super helpful

Great tutorial,thanks

Beautifully done! I’m sure you saved many of us from cutting the wrong measurement for the back. You have reminded me of how straightforward this is and just to get to it. I have a small FO, piece of fabric and everything I need in a little basket ready to go. You’ve inspired me to move forward and have a FFO! Thank you, Annie🎉

Annie, I just found your channel and I LOVE it! This was an excellent tutorial and now I have the knowledge to finish small pillows and ornaments. I appreciated this video so very much. Thank you!

Good job.

I also iron stabilizer to my backing fabric. I use Pellon SF101. Your pillows are so cute!

This was a great pillow tutorial! Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been wanting to finish some pillow ornaments like this!

So cute

I learned so by watching you attach you bow and hanging ribbon with the charm! Thank you so much!

Dressmaker hint: to avoid the "swoop" in the center, rather than a perfectly straight cut at tops nd bottom, angle off just 1/8 of an inch at end .

Instead of measuring your strips, it’s easier for me to lay the strip under the piece and cut the remainder off. Just a thought.

Love your finish!! Will have to give it a try. Psst. Just a piece of helpful information. I would sew the strip on first and then trim edges. Then you shouldn’t need pins. Pins and material can shift when sewing. And I am not a super experienced seamstress but just wanted to offer advice. Now I need to find something to make a pillow out of!!

Thanks for your tutorial on the Christmas pillow ornament. I will reference it when I do a pillow finish on my own project in the future. Always enjoy your sharing of cross-stitch on RU-vid and look forward especially to your next one!😀

Thankyou for a great tutorial! It’s very kind of you to share your knowledge 💗

Thank you! You did a terrific job with the tutorial. Looking forward to trying your method.

I think you did very well for your first tutorial on pillow making ornament. Been wanting to make some for my dough bowl and did not know to much about it, Thanks to you I can now finish some. Now you need one on your quilt an go quilt, like to see that one. Love watching your YT and what you have to say about cross stitching and finishing them. Like the sampler research reports too. Stay safe till the next Floss Tube

Thank you for the pillow video! So cute and I appreciate you taking time to do these videos.

Love your ornaments! Thanks for the tutorial 😊

BEAUTIFUL and so creative... Thank you for the tutorial, looking forward to trying it out on some of my small cross stitch peices. Have a GREAT WEEK😘

I just LOVE these Annie! Gorgeous! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I think this was great!

Thank you for the instructions, I hope I can be just as successful. Worth a try! Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I think the view was better after your tripod broke because everything was zoomed in more.

I loved your tutorial. Great tips and information. I plan on using this tutorial for some ornaments I want to do for an exchange. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the tutorial. Can't wait to try it.

Good tutorial. Looking for more. 🌹

Great tutorial! Thank you for taking time to share. Love your finishes!! ❤️

This was a pretty finish for your project. Thank you for sharing your how-to's.

Such fun! I enjoyed your pillow tutorial for the ornament - just beautiful..... I am going to try this weekend to follow your suggestions, thank you. I am one that has the basket full of stitching waiting for its glory day to be FFO, lol.

Thank you, Annie! I've been wanting to try this!!

Love the tutorial will definitely having a go they look lovely.

Wonderful first tutorial! You did great and I love that finish! A thought for the back piece you miscut, which we've all done at one time or another, is to cut strips for the back just like you did for the stitched piece. You could use the same fabric or a different color, like cream, and then it would frame the motif on the back fabric.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial. So very helpful. Can you tell me where I could get the French general fabric. I would love to have so of it for my finishes too. It's beautiful ❤️

To use that miss cut piece of fabric, I have an idea. Why not stitch another plum pudding on evenweave 1 over 1. I don’t know what you stitched yours on Aida, evenweave or linen but a mini one would be neat next to the other.

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you. Can I ask where you got the French general fabric?

Great first tutorial Annie! I hope to see many more. I am just wondering if you could have put your loop inside your pillow opening and then sew that all shut or would that not work? Have a great and safe Labor Day ❣️

Chris here…. Hi Annie, I really enjoyed your video 😍. I have a suggestion if you don’t mind…. When hand stitching 🧵 I use what is called a “quilter’s knot”…. it’s a wonderful and fabulously easy knot to use for all hand sewing or quilting…. I’m pretty sure that there is a video on RU-vid…. But, if there isn’t one I would be happy to share with you how it’s done…. reply back and I will email you and give my contact information so we can connect…. Happy stitching 😊😊😊

Where do you like to get your fabric from? Gorgeous choice and great tutorial!

Thank you for the pillow turtorial. You have given me courage to do my own pillows and do some of my finishes ❤️

Annie, I love the fabric. Where can I purchase it?🤗

These are the cutest ornaments - very informative tutorial, too! I’d like to know, specifically, what kind of interfacing (Pellon #, etc) you used?

Hi Annie, I don’t want to appear ignorant by why do you use the interfacing? Is it to protect the piece or create a stiffer fabric? I watched another video and they did the same thing without explanation. Thanks for the video!

Hi, Annie! Thank you for the video - I just started watching the other night, and finally worked up enough nerve to try finishing one of my recent pieces into a pillow... ;) The problem is, I ironed my cross stitch (on linen) first, of course, laid out the interfacing (thought all looked good/flat), but it pulled on my cross stitch between stitched areas and left many wrinkles, I had to pull the interfacing off...has this ever happened to you?? I used Pellon PLF 36 (says on the packaging great for use in quilts and crafting projects, so thought would be ok...I also didn't realize how many Pellon products there are out there!!) Any advice would be helpful before I retry (I don't have a sewing contact to ask!!) The French General fabric is beautiful, and I just recently bought my first few JBW Designs patterns! Thank you so much, and for the continued inspiration!!

That's me I have 72 projects not ffo!!!

Nice tutorial! Thank you!
