I am so cross with myself for being careless and not making the back neat.
This is something I do like to do - finish the back of my work neatly. In fact I am a bit obsessed by it, so you can imagine I am not pleased.
The back is stitched together in blanket stitch and although I hate the thought of it I am going to have to unstitch it and fix it up. Those loose threads will drive me mad.

My style of embroidery is often rustic so I like to use a product like "Whisper Weft" on the back and it covers a multitude of sins like trailing threads. Happy stitching.
I am definitely not a perfectionist, but I would probably re do even for me. So I can understand your frustration. Your cushion is lovely none the less. xox Corrine
It's such a pretty little cushion, well worth the time to get it to your own high standards. Anne
What a shame Dian. I am sure it will bug you until it's done, good luck. I'm with Frances, and like Whisperweft for lots of body behind things. It's textured and hides a multitude of 'sins'..........and we all know I am an expert on sin...........LOL........ Happy 'unstitching'.
Oh yes, you will always see those threads, even if no one else will, what a shame :-( I am not that fussy myself about the back, as ong as I can cover it!!!
