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.
https://sudukc.wordpress.com/2016/03/03/finishing-ornaments/
UPDATE: How to finish "soft" ornaments, i.e., ornaments that are stuffed. Sue likes to do shaped ornaments (sweaters, puffy hearts, etc.) this way.
https://sudukc.wordpress.com/2016/03/23/finishing-ornaments-3-soft-ornaments/
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.

BREAKING NEWS: The Needlepoint Book App Is Ready UPDATED
Labels:

Jo Ippolito Christensen,
needlepoint book,
problems,
reviews
The Needlepoint Book app is finally ready--and it is very buggy. Some folks can use it without problems, some cannot, some get a message that they need to pay $14.99 for the full version despite the publisher saying folks who bought the book last spring would have the app for free.
Jo Christensen says you should have gotten an email from Simon & Schuster by now. Using their link, download the Needlepoint Book App Lite. Once that's done, tap on the three lines in the upper left corner of the screen. There will be an option there for you to sign in. Do that with the username and password that Simon & Schuster gave you in the email. If you have problems, Jo says to email Simon and Schuster at touchstonemarketing@simonandschuster.com.
If you are feeling lucky, here is the link furnished by the publisher to the download for Android systems on the Google Play store. Please note that you will need the code from the email from the publisher to download the free app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.needlepointbookapp.lite&hl=en
Here is the link furnished by the publisher to the download for iOS systems on iTunes. Please note that you will need the code from the email from the publisher to download the free app.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-needlepoint-book-app-lite/id1085103381?mt=8
UPDATE: Jo I. Christensen posted the following on Facebook on September 1, 2016--
"Regarding the application for the app that comes free with the book, I have learned something. When the form requests "the place purchased " it seems to be requesting something that the computer recognizes. So if you checked "other " adding the city, rather than, say, the name of a needlepoint shop, seems to work. If the computer likes what you tell it, you will get an automated return email almost immediately. (If you bought the book in a small town, try adding the nearest city. That is my guess.) When you get the instructions, follow them exactly. Computers are dumb that way. The app works better now! Thanks again for your patience!!
P.S. I hear S&S won't be offering any other apps any time soon. Looks like a case of once burned, twice shy."
