i don't know why but when it comes to my craftsi am a neat freak
so when i did the embroidery for the Alice swap i just couldn't bear to leave the messy stitching exposed,
also i had cut the fabric too small to lace it onto the hoop, i searched for a tutorial to finish off your work in a hoop but couldn't find one, i asked at the PhatQuarter group and got some good ideas there
but
this is what i came up with
take the hoop you will be working your embroidery in anddraw around the inside of the inner hoop on mounting board
cut out your disc, then trim it so it is a little smaller
cut out a circle of fleece or wadding i drew around a hoop 1" bigger than the hoop i'm doing the embroidery on so the hoop i'm working my piece on is a 4" and the fabric disc is 5"
{edited from 2" to 1"}
next cut out your backing fabric{again 1" bigger than finished embroidery}
next layer the fabrics and lace onto the card disc
until it looks like this
work your embroidery in your hoop
cut out your finished piece 2" bigger than your embroidery hoop
i added another piece of fleece for a nice padded looki trimmed this off close to the hoop
then i stuck down my embroidered fabric withdouble sided tape on the inside of the hoop
all stuck down
take your disc of fabric covered card
and push into the back of the hoop firmly
{i didn't use any glue}
and push into the back of the hoop firmly
{i didn't use any glue}
you get a nice padded effect
finished!i hope this is easy to follow
and it comes in useful for any other neat freak crafters like me!

Wowza! Great tutorial.
Nice to know that you're a neat crafter. (I sure am not!)
Great tutorial, love that little embroidery work. Beautiful
it looks lovely... I have a little embroidered Mad Hatter my friend gave me and was wondering how I would frame it...
Awesome! Great tutorial and very much needed. Only thing left is to actually finish something ;)
Thank you - I was so irritated by how not neat the embroidery hoop framed gift I made for my nephew turned out - I tried hiding the mess with ribbon and think I made it worse...

I like how this works out and when I make more hand prints, I am using your plan... :)
have been wanting to know how to do this for like EVAR. I have three pieces I can now finish properly. Thank you so much for sharing!
Fab tutorial. I am going to have a go at this.
I love your work! just voted for you on craftjuice!
Brilliant! I've been trying to figure out how to do this exact thing. Thank you so much.
Great tutorial! I've been doing something similar to finish my embroidery, but not as clean as your method. I also like the use of padding!
My only problem is finding wooden or bamboo embroidery hoops to frame my pieces in. Do you have any suggestions? Online shops that ship to Canada?
Thank you Thank you! I prefer things to be finished off neat or I won't like them when they are done! Thanks again! Annette T
