FInishing Ornaments the SuDu Way UPDATED

Sue has done a lovely tutorial on finishing ornaments two different ways. She has lots of great tips to make the process easier and explains things step-by-step.

UPDATE:  How to finish "soft" ornaments, i.e., ornaments that are stuffed.  Sue likes to do shaped ornaments (sweaters, puffy hearts, etc.) this way.

Finishing ornaments is not difficult but you do need patience.  I don't like finishing but if I do it myself, I get exactly what I want, even to the pretty beaded edging I prefer.
