New to Needlepoint yet seeing Self Finishing TikTok’s drive me mad

That’s it. There are like 2 that I’ve seen that come out looking decent, they all look like shit and it’s because they never do the cording properly, or if they do they screw up sewing it on. I also just saw one now of a girl showing off all her 2024 projects and they were all actually cross-stitch, and she was fully acting and commenting like it was needlepoint and again, the finishing was awful. Idk it’s not like frustrating it just makes me laugh in a confused way. I’m new to this too so I know I’m not one to talk, but my moms been stitching for 50 plus years so I’ve been around it, and her stitching and work is truly insane and gorgeous, she’s been stitching longer than the teachers at the local store in Denver we go to. So seeing all these needlepoint tiktoks after getting into it and my mom being my teacher is so funny because her attitudes and opinions towards a lot of it and the culture is just so opposite as to what I see on the app.
