Description from YouTube
If you’ve ever finished a round piece and thought, “why are these edges never smooth?” — same 😅 So I tried something different… and it worked so well I’m never going back. I’ll walk you through exactly how I finished my 4th of July round, plus share a few recent finishes, works in progress, and a couple of stitchy tangents along the way.
