3 Methods on How to Add a Backing to Slow Stitching | Calm Your Mind with Stitch

Finish your stitched pieces with me! Have you ever wondered how to add backing to your stitched work? I have three projects that need a backing and each one is stitched in a slightly different way to suit the project. I use the Whipstitch, the Running Stitch and more, and I change the way I stitch to suit each fabric edge. Along the way I will reflect and talk about how Slow Stitching can lower stress, create calm and recharge your batteries. There's loads of detail, inspiration and insight. Come stitch with me!  

FAQ:
-I use 2 strands of the six stranded embroidery floss throughout these projects
-I use Embroidery needles for stitching and
-Milliners needles for French Knots

Slow stitching this way is so relaxing because you don’t have to think about following a complex pattern or worry about your stitches being perfect. It’s all about free flowing relaxing creativity. Stitch Along with Me! #slowstitching
