The Finishing Fairy: Rounds & Rectangle Ornaments Class - EVENING
The Finishing Fairy: Rounds & Rectangle Ornaments Class - EVENING
Date: 1/16/2027 from 5-8PM at Velvet Stitch House
Learn how to finish your own needlepoint ornament with Amanda Metes, The Finishing Fairy! We’ll be using a no-glue lacing technique and only acid-free materials, ensuring your needlepoint can be enjoyed for years to come.
You’ll leave the workshop with a beautifully finished ornament and the confidence and materials needed to try it again on your own — plus access to online videos and resources to help you continue your learning journey. No previous finishing experience is necessary.
Participants should bring:
-
A completed round, rectangle, or square ornament sized canvas, blocked
-
A photocopy of your canvas
We bring material for cording and backing fabric.
Optionally, if you have strong preferences on color matching:
-
Desired backing fabric, measured 1 inch wider on all sides (6x6 for a 4x4 canvas). A not-stretchy material is recommended — thin materials like quilter’s cotton, velveteen, or silk work great.
-
Two skeins of DMC Floss or DMC Pearle (only if you have a color preference; we have a wide variety of colors.
-
If you don’t want to finish your own canvas, you can bring a blank 18 mesh canvas.
Questions about blocking or class?
Please email a photo of your canvas to finishingfairy@gmail.com in advance if you have questions on blocking and/or extra rows. You do not need to stitch extra rows unless you have detail up to the edge you’d like to see.
