How to Finish a Per My Last Email Paperweight Kit

Quick answer

To finish the Per My Last Email paperweight kit, stitch the canvas with the recommended pearl cotton, then follow the kit's self-finishing steps to mount it in the glass dome. The key is to keep the canvas taut and trim excess fabric carefully before securing.

Step-by-step finishing process

1. Stitch the canvas: Using the recommended DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5 in 3325 and 645, stitch the canvas following the design. Keep your stitches even and avoid pulling too tight, which can distort the canvas shape. Check the canvas is square and not warped before moving to finishing.
2. Trim excess canvas: Cut away excess canvas leaving a small border around the stitched area. Be careful not to cut into any stitches or the design itself. Trim gradually and test-fit in the dome before cutting further.
3. Mount the canvas in the dome: Following the kit's instructions, place the stitched canvas into the glass dome, ensuring it sits flat and centered. Press gently to secure it without forcing. If the canvas doesn't sit flat, remove it and trim a little more rather than forcing.
