Thank you soooo much for your quick but thorough explanation. This is more than enough to get started without being overwhelming, (or taking 7 minutes to preface a 30 second tutorial that leaves a person with more questions than answers!).
Thank you for the quick tutorial. I feel like there are way too many tutorial videos that take way too long to get to the point, so I really appreciate this video.
First time I've seen your work. I love the idea of this butterfly❤. But I struggle with cutting the wings out without clipping threads that I don't want to. Or cutting it too far away and the fabric still shows.
The edge of the fabric will always show a little but there are a few things you can do to minimise it. If you can, use a fabric that matches the thread you cover the wire with, if you can’t or you have different colors around the edge you can sneaky use felt tip pens to color the edge (test on some scrap first!). Lastly once you’ve cut the edge you can run a fingernail over it to fluff up and tease out any extra bits of thread and trim those. Also if you’re using buttonhole stitch as I am (some people use couching stitch for the whole thing) it creates a sort of edge or lip that sticks out and you can turn the wing upside down and angle your scissors and trim the fabric to just underneath it so it doesn’t show so much from the top.
