This August on Technique Tuesdays we are focusing on stitching! In today's video, Sara is using the September Cherry Box to show how to add stitching to patterned paper!

I'm gonna have to try this sometime! Great technique!

Oh wow….I have mending to do before I do this…LOL. 

YAY! I have been doing this for awhile and trying lots of techniques... I reallly enjoy doing it! here are a few that I have posted in the gallery.  I hope it is ok that I shared here. I really find it relaxing and it gives lots of dimension to your layout.  
I hope you try it. Becareful, just like regular needle and thread sewing you can prick your finger..... ugh. I have gotten some 
little blood spots on my papers at times too.
Just a couple things I learned.... hope you try it! 


I learned the hard way when doing a satin stitch on paper you have to use full 6 strand thread, and SPACE it out.... lol
or you could actually end up with a cutout.... I did with my very first flower closest to the left and bottom.  But it is fixed lol
49 and market paper 


chain stitch and french knots.




this is from 2020 when I wanted to see how it would look on an embossed image.


this is from 2017...  I
