Mount
your cross stitch design in the flexi-hoop, but do not add the backing felt

right sides facing and run a gathering stitch
along the INSIDE edge on the WRONG side of the
ribbon (begin at the seam). Secure the thread at
one end leaving the other end loose.
Gather
the ribbon to fit the solid INNER ring of the
hoop, secure the thread and adjust the gathers
for an even fit.

the ribbon to the fabric at the back of the hoop.
Using
the narrower ribbon, cut it in half and place one
piece over the other at an angle at the back of
the hoop and attach with a couple of stitches.
Cut the ribbon ends into "forks" by
cutting a ^ shape into them.
Finally,
place the piece of felt over the back of the hoop
and stitch it in place catching the edges with
tiny stitches.
