About

Welcome to Focus on Finishing!

This blog has been set up as a resource both for stitchers who already enjoy finishing their own stitching creatively and want to develop and share their skills and also for those stitchers who would love to do so but don’t know where to start. It aims to be a place where you can learn new techniques, receive and give finishing help and advice and share pictures of your finished items with everyone. It also aims to provide a centralised information resource of finishing techniques, with pages dedicated to both tutorial links and links to websites/online albums for inspiration.

We hope to organise regular finishing classes where people can learn specific finishing techniques and also have regular FALs (Finish-A-Longs), where we set aside a certain time every week or month to finish up some of those stitched-but-not-yet-finished projects using any method you like. More information can be found on the Class/FAL schedule page

If you wish to contribute to this blog as a poster rather than just a commenter, you’ll need to create a WordPress account (no need to create a blog, unless you want to) and then email Anne or Karen with your details (including the email address you signed up with) .

When you post to the blog, please assign one or more relevant categories to your post. The list of categories can be found on the RH side of the post editor window. This means that all the posts will be searchable by category, thusmaking it easy to find all posts on the same subject. If there isn’t a category available that is relevant to your post, feel free to create one. Please note that categories may be edited to ensure consistency and categories may be added to posts where necessary.
