I finished the stitching recently, but wasn't sure about the finishing. The kit came with a wooden hoop the size of the stitched circle, but not the directions on how to do it. I saw on the internet how someone finished a piece by cutting the fabric a little bigger than the hoop, then stitching the extra bit of fabric to a circle of felt. It wasn't as difficult as it looked. It's not perfect, but I think it is okay.

Looks good to me! Lovely finish.
This is so very beautiful. One of my all-time favorites. Well done, my friend. Well done.
That's a nifty way to deal with the back of the hoop-frame.
As for the front - well, I can only say IT's BEAUTIFUL. William Morris must be happy in his heaven.
Your piece of embroidery is stunning，showing us the excellent harmonization of designs and colours.
Beautiful piece and wonderful finish.
I do love this design. Great finish and you have made a good job of the back as it is not the easiest! xx
Pamela: This is so pretty.
Have a wonderful day

Looks great! I tried this technique recently, and I think I'll use it again soon.
