I made it my aim to finish the buttonhole stitching on the Mountmellick embroidery stitch along cushion yesterday, and I did! It was a bit of a squeeze to get it finished before our evening’s activities, but it is now done.<\/p>\n

I thought that it might be useful to explain how I end my buttonhole i.e. how I finish when the end stitching meets up again with the beginning stitching. I like it to have a seamless join, and this takes a bit of nifty (but not difficult) stitching to achieve.
\n\"finishing<\/a>I stitched right up to the beginning of the stitching, leaving space for just one more stitch.<\/p>\n

\"finishing<\/a>Without entering the fabric, I slid my needle under the little sticking out tail of the very first buttonhole, from the rolled edge side.<\/p>\n

\"finishing<\/a>I then inserted my needle in the other end of the space, level with the ends of all the previous stitches.<\/p>\n

\"finishing<\/a>I took the needle and thread through to the back, so that the stitch has the same tension as all the others. Then I fastened the thread end in the back of the stitching. Voila! A seamless join!<\/p>\n

\"completed<\/a>Apologies for the quality of the photo, but here is the completed embroidery. Yay! (It really is nice to have that finally done!)<\/p>\n

To complete the project, we still have more to do, so don’t tune out just yet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
