Tutorial links

This page contains links to finishing tutorials on a range of different techniques, initially compiled by myself and published on my blog. My aim is to compile a really comprehensive centralised list of links for all stitchers to access, so if you know of any other tutorials that should be included, either ones you’ve created yourself or that you’ve come across online, please leave a comment below with the relevant details.

Different Techniques:

  • *  Si le point m’etait compte - a few different techniques, including biscornu, cube, heart box, stitchers envelope - in french, but very clear pictures.
