Hi! Usually either Worsted Weight or DK weight yarn is used for plastic canvas. But you can use almost any scrap yarn you have as long as it covers the plastic. Happy Stitching!
My sheets are doing this strange folding thing too, on the top wide hem end. Too rough handling of the sheet caused the worn edges to rip right where the wide cuff is stitched down (it's not on the side of the sheet, it would be along that wide cuff you had at your left when pressing down the 1/2 inch folds on the side of your sheet) Would I cut off the entire 4" cuff and make a new 1/2" hem?
Hi! Thanks for your interest in our videos and the compliment! I have two videos to help you, the first is how to sew inside and outside corners, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-spveWlC92K4.html. The 2nd is how to sew napkins with a rolled hem, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UmQB4rpKjwA.html. I hope these help you make your napkins!
Great idea. I hate throwing these away. So far I've used them for hair ties, bobby pins and tampons. They could also be used for chapstick, nail clippers, cotton swabs etc. I was thinking of decorating some for my husband to use for screws or nails in his shop.
Thank you for explaining this. I'm considering buy an embroidery machine and have been looking for videos that show the basics. Yours was the only one I found that explained the threading process.
Glad it was helpful! We have many other videos like this one. You can find links to them on this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98
Excellent instructions--verbally & visually. I've been sort of sewing since I was a pre-teen...but never learned what a "French seam" was before this. I am going to use that little technique on a bunch of things--home goods and clothing!! Thank you for taking the time to help me (us).
Thank you for showing how the fabric is folded and where the selvedges go. I have an accuquilt that i havent used yet but, since i am rubbish at cutting accurately, i want to use it for strips.
Thank you for all the in-depth info I wish I had a sewing machine. I think I could do this with your helpful info. I am not a seamstress, I am a retired, carpenter lol. I wish I could purchase a few of these already made. I am also a tournament fisherman, and have a tournament on lake mead in September. It will most likely over 100°F. I used to be able to purchase a product similar to this in the late 1980s I haven’t seen them around for a long time. They weren’t this high of quality of course. I heard of a product called, cool gators, but I don’t know if they’re any good. If you have any info, that might be helpful I would appreciate it. Thanks again for a great video.
Hello Annette. My name is Cricket Smith. I have a little story to tell you about the quiltersslidelocks origination. They came from scottsburg or. My father earl Williams is the one who made them. Later on he got the Patton for them and then sold to the Patton to sew be it quilts in Texas. It would have to be the best invention that he ever made. My stepmom Sharon is a quilter. She had a bad day when she had her ruler move on her and she had to go buy more fabric for the quilt top my dad had come in at the same time when she was having a meltdown and told him what was wrong with quilting tools and such. He went out to his shed and my ade a slidelock. He brings it into her and she says what is this for and he shows her how it works and the rest is history. I am also a quilter. I love the tools.
Thank you for sharing the story. I absolutely love my two quilter's slidelocks and use them all the time. I purchased mine a long time ago before Sew Be It Quilts purchased the patent.
Thank you; this was an easy-to-follow explanation! Im new to sewing and appreciate that this gave great instruction and methodology behind some of the stitching.
great video thanks!! Going to re-use an already made waterproof changing mat. don't like placing my baby on plastic so going to follow your tutorial to add a cotton and linen outer layer :)
Thanks for watch our video on the serpentine stitch. I use a Bernina Activa 240 machine. Most sewing machine have the serpentine stitch as one of these built-in stitch. It's a easy stitch to use when quilting.
I can't see much a lot of the time because the words are popping up at the bottom of the screen which is where her hands are doing what you need to see.
Hi! I'm sorry that the closed captions are hiding what I am doing. Unfortunately, we cannot control where they appear on the video. For parts that are confusing, you could back up the video and then turn off the captions to see. Happy Quilting!
This is a excellent tutorial! I changed my dimensions to be 6”x8.25” to cover my longer pan handles. The most difficult part was turning it right side out . Thank-you 😊
Greetings from New Mexico! Please make a Travel-Size Pillowcase sewing tutorial with this criteria: use directional print, use french seams to encase raw edges, 3 seams, use one fabric; NOT burrito method. Thank you!
I just made one yesterday without checking any tutorials and im surprised at how similar mine ended up being! I used parchment paper though, and I'm thinking it might lose some of that crinkle sound with time, so I like your idea of cereal bag better. I think mine ended up very thin and hard to grab for a small baby, so I came to see if you used any filling. Apparently not. I will make sure to put a teething ring in the next one. I hope wooden ones are fine? I'll make sure to stitch a cross over the surface too. Ps if you don't have ribbons you can also make your own ones using fabric pieces.
Thanks for watching our video. That is a great idea for using fabric pieces if you don't have ribbon. In fact, it's a great way to use up scrap fabric. However, I would suggest if you use fabric to make sure to not have raw edges because the fabric may fray and baby could get them in their mouth.
Hi,m @@Needlepointers, yes of course that's a good point. I cut pieces approx 4cm wide, then you fold each side into the middle and then fold again and sew the edge. Not sure if I'm explaining myself here. That way it looks like a ribbon but self-made.
