This tutorial will guide you through all of the steps to finish your embroidery in an ornament with a ribbon edge, double bow, and hanger. It covers preparing your shapes, covering with fabric, padding the ornament, assembly, and finishing. With sincere apologies to Vonna Pfeiffer, the Twisted Stitcher, who I called Vonna White at multiple points in this tutorial, because I am really ready for 2021 to be over. Materials used: Backing fabric of your choice Milliner's/Petersham ribbon of your choice to complement your finish, I recommend 5/8" width. Britex has an excellent selection: https://www.britexfabrics.com/ribbon/petersham-grosgrain-ribbon.html Bristol paper, thick cardstock, or similar Mistyfuse or the double sided fusible web of your choice Felt - I like thicker felt for these as you need fewer layers, this is what I used: https://www.weircrafts.com/items/299453049 Fine needle for finishing, I used a #10 milliner's needle, and sewing thread, I like Kinkame silk thread, 50 weight, which you can purchase from Britex: https://www.britexfabrics.com/notions/thread/japanese-50-weight-silk-thread.html Edited 1/1: If you're struggling to pick up the small bites of fabric on the edge of the ornament, try a curved beading needle. John James makes a size 10 curved needle that can be very useful in finishing, which can be purchased from NIAH: http://www.needlestack.com/WebStore/Accessories/Needles.html Tools used: Baker's parchment paper for attaching the Mistyfuse Ruler Marking tool of your choice Recommended for a circular finish: circular cutting tool, I use this one from Fiskars: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0006HUJ0S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Paper scissors Fabric scissors Vonna Pfeiffer's flat round ornament finishing tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzCfPccMkW8&t=444s
