    Hi, It looks like this tutorial has been removed from their blog. I was able to find this snapshot from the web archives and have updated the link for you.

    Where can I find a tutorial on finishing a needlepoint stand-up. Lots of info for ornaments…none for stand-ups. Do I sew the right-sides together and turn inside out? That is difficult since needelpoint is so bulky. Looking for help!
