Thank you for taking the time to put this tutorial together! I have that tool and am anxious to use it. Cute peep too! pam
ReplyDeleteYes, thanks Vonna. You gave very clear and easy to understand instructions. Now I just need to get the tool!
ReplyDeleteCute tag. Great tutorial, I've tried one with interfacing,but like yours and will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I've looked at this finish for a while and wondered how to achieve it. I had no idea thats what the punchy thing looked like though! So thanks for the great tutorial. Love the sweet little chick too - very cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, you heard my cries for help, didn't you Vonna?! I have always wanted to make one. I will have to go hunt for supplies at Michael's. Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteYou do know how to cheer a girl up, don't you!! :) Thank you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Vonna! I've made floss tags before, but haven't used the mat boards for mine - I really like the idea of using two grommets for the separate pieces - I've always finished mine, and added the grommets last. I definitely prefer your method!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new tutorial! With luck I'll some time soon to try it out. Maybe during my recuperation.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Vonna - very clear and easy to follow, too! Don't you just love the Crop-A-Dile??
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to figure out what to do with my Peep finish! Now I know!
ReplyDeleteThank you for another wonderful tutorial Vonna! Excellent, easy to follow instructions with clear pics. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this tutorial, I'm definitely going to try to make a few tags this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello Vonna!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Anna and I am writing from Barcelona (Catalonia - Spain) I have just discovered your blog and it's great! I will try some of your tutorials, you are such a fantastic teacher!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, here I thought I was an incompetent idiot since I was never able to master this technique. But it would seem I have been using the "wrong" tool all along: a grommet setter used to do in one step what the Crop-o-dile does in two steps. The one step process may be great for seamstresses working with one or, at the most, two or three layers of fabric but it doesn't work well [trust me on this]on the fabric/padding/matte board back & front of a floss tag. I usually use a very light weight bit of pellon interfacing [shirting weight]glued to the matte board to "soften" the look of my finished projects ... do you think this is part of my problem? Too many layers???
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I shall be buying a Crop-a-Dile the next time I am near Michael's ... I need to replenish my stash of DMC very soon ... working on a Teresa Wentzler BAP will do that!
Thank you so much for doing this...love your floss tag...

Thank you so much Vonna for sharing your finishing technique! You are a very generous soul and we all appreciate it! Beth
ReplyDeleteLove the floss tag and thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. I love the idea of the sledding tunnel - how clever your people can be. When we lived in MN, my two build forts at each side of the end of the driveway and the whole neighborhood would join in for the 'fort' adventures.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Vonna,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much doing putting together this tutorial. As always your instructions are so easy to follow. I'm off to make mine now :>)

Oh thank you so much! I have been wanting to do one of these and was not sure where to start. I love your detailed instructions and know when I am ready even I will be able to complete it without a disaster. I sometimes hate to ask the other ladies in my stitching guild as they seem so talented and I fear they would think I was totally useless if I had to ask how. I just want to stitch up something real quick to do this. What a great little something for an exchange. Thank you again.

Thank you so very much for your tutorials. They are so helpful and I will try to make a floss tag without fear.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vonna, this gives me an alternate way to make floss tags. I have seen a few done this way and I had wondered how.
