Update and question

Here's the photo of my embellishment exchange. Thank you Anastasia, it was great opening the box and find all the goodies.



I have finished the Oriental butterfly. Can't wait to get it framed and hung in my living room. This one stitched up really fast.
Now for the question. I am working on Shepherd's Bush - Skelton School Sampler. Well, I have to clip threads and unweave them to the border. Instructions say secure them. My question is - how would you secure them? There are more photos in the WIP folder. This is on 32ct linen.

Thanks you all for the well wishes on our mom's. Both are improving everyday. I have been really missing my groups, and hope that by next week, I can become active in them again.

I am taking next week off work, commencement is Sunday and than less students for spring and summer. So, work will slow down. But, we are hiring two new dispatchers and guess what? I am the only trainer! Another reason I am taking that week off. When I get back the first one will be hired and ready to be trained. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to train two at once. It's going to be fun!!!

Your finishes are beautiful!

Securing the threads is usually done by weaving them back into the fabric (in the direction you have not removed threads from).
I would suggest contacting the company (http://www.shepherdsbush.net/) for clarification on the directions.
