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.
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.
Looks good to me! Lovely finish.

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