Thanks to the great folks at Pocket Full of Stitches, we have a lovely gallery of inventive needlepoint finishes photographed at a past Dallas Needlework Market.
I’m always perplexed at how to finish my needlepoint, so I am so grateful for these many wonderful ideas.
Please note: Many of the pictures are of canvases that are no longer available.

I am sure you have answered this question before.
When using over dyes how do you not waste the odd threads (4 of 6 )
How can the odds blend?
The best way to use the odds in the same project is to reverse half the strands in the non-odd stitching bundles. This blends the colors and, almost always, allows you to combine the odds and titch with them.
If I can’t do that, for example, with Watercolours, I put aside the odds and use them in a different project.
Keep stitching,
Janet
