Hi, I’m Rob Appell, host of Man Sewing. I’m a guy with boundless energy and enthusiasm for life and creativity. I love God, my wife, son and daughter. I enjoy waking up excited each day to see what lies ahead. I’m happiest when I’m outside or in my studio. I have been told that I inspire others and for that I feel very blessed.
What is Man Sewing? Well, I am a man who loves to sew and I’m proud of it. I’m passionate about sewing and creativity and have a desire to teach, so I want to share my passion with you. Is Man Sewing just for men? Absolutely not. I’m just a man who sews.
Join me every Monday for a new tutorial where we’ll use our hands, get covered in thread and create something completely new. It’s going to be high voltage edu-tainment at its finest. Where creativity meets caffeine. Welcome to Man Sewing!
Thank you for this Video Extremely helpful. I usually take to the repair man but can no longer drive my car. I looked to google.🤗🤗Not bad for an 84 year old😏😏 I have managed to clean and replace all the shuttle bits and pieces correctly. We shall see 🥰
When Pin Basting, I first think about How I am Quilting the Sandwich together...then I pin, trying to make sure that I don't pin where I will be sewing... of course, there will be the odd pin to remove as I am sewing... but this allows me to keep my curved pins in the quilt, the whole time I am sewing...then I remove all the pins after all the quilting has been done.
Hello, still not certain which batting to use for my first wall hanging. It is a collage with many pieces in the background, and foreground. I'd like it to be stiff for a nice straight, somewhat stiff wall hanging. Because of the pieces on the top, I will quilt this with lines close together; thus given this information, would you recommend mid poly? Would cotton be to light and have to soft of a hand for a wall hanging? Thank you for your thoughts.
Thanks for the video. Great explanations. Had no idea there are so many choices. Yesterday I was putting a lap size quilt top together with some 80/20 batting. I was in pannick mode as I didn't know whether a single layer of batting would be enough. When I googled to search for an answer found your video. I'm fairly new to quilting and never used other than the traditional poly for baby quilts. I decided to use two layers. So far it's doesn't seem to bad, a little weighty but it will be warm. Perhaps a video on when and how to use mulitple layers for rookies like me. Watching you from Ontario, Canada. Thank you.
Thank you , I've been making these items for oncology patients that sit all day with Iv's, and Kidney dialysis IV patients, post op surgery patients, and stroke patients- Just drop them off at your local healthcare facility, Children love them as well for IV sites and tummy, knee boo boos, ....they are appreciated almost anywhere! I have been using rice and lavender flower buds and know that the fragrance will dissipate after awhile. If you make an inner and outer bag, you can message some therapeutic grade essential oil on the palms of your hands and message into the inner pillow, leaving the outer case to be washed. We can do this!!! Ill try some of the beads as well...Your the best Rob!!!
After checking out MANY sites on how to square up and cutting my quilt and being so discouraged with the instructions, I finally found your's. Rob, this is exactly what I really wanted! Thank you so much! Incidentally, your quilt is amazing.
I disagree with the majority of these comments. I think you're making it difficult for us.. maybe because I'm a SPERT. My Mother was a gifted seamstress, designer, etc. I've been sewing since the age of 10.
