Thank you very much for sharing your sewing machine "knowledge" with us Anastasia...I'll,be trying out this out...later on today.I'm,glad I came across your you tube video.I'm one of your "NEW SUBSCRIBER".🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I took a machine embroidery class over 50 years ago. They taught this technique on a regular sewing machine. I still have the thread but never actually enjoyed the technique. It would be fun to try this now 👍🤗🥳
This technique is also known as "Thread Painting" on other sewing channels.... very cool! I would suggest an Open Toe Quilting Foot, quilting gloves to keep fabric clean, and stitch length to zero.
Great work! Good tight hooping is very important when working without a presser foot, otherwise you'll get a bunch of skipped stitches. Some other notes: You can remove the snap-in adapter from your presser foot shank for even more visibility, though the bottom of the adapter will help keep the fabric down against the stitch plate a little. You also don't necessarily need to drop the feed dogs: if you have a machine that doesn't have that feature, or if installing the darning plate is a pain in the booty, just set the stitch length to its lowest setting and ignore the feed dogs, they'll just brush up against the underside of the fabric a little but they won't be able to move it. I did some free-motion darning recently with a hopping foot, and I found that it was, somewhat unintuitively, easier to do when I really put the pedal to the metal and sped up the stitching speed. If you find you have some trouble moving the fabric smoothly, experiment with different speeds to see what works best for you. (on a scrap piece first, of course!)
Ha! Now this is something I've got a lot of experience with. I do this on my large quilting projects using a clear free motion foot and a pair of quilting gloves for better grip control (no hoop to hang on to) on a 1947 Singer model 15 sewing machine. BTW, I was doing the actual quilt assembly sewing on a 1907 Singer 66 Treadle; I just love the interaction with my feet and hands. But I recently swapped out the 1907 66 machine head for a 1947 Singer 201 because of it having a reverse lever, plus the sound of that 201 in a smooth running treadle is amazingly quiet and beautiful. Thanks for the video Anastasia, and your hands/nails are always so pretty!
I actually have a video about putting in bust cups. Check it out here --> How to Sew Bra (Bust) Cups Into Any Blouse Or Dress | Sew Anastasia ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0D-uNAgKoy8.html
Seems to me that this style of embroidered work would be something that would get better and better with practice. Anastasia has used this as a quick demonstration in an eight-minute video, so I am certain the effect would improve with more time and care. Having just purchased a sewing machine, I can also see this as an excellent way to become familiar with various stitch styles, lengths and widths, I plan to use it for basic work and practice. Because the foot is not in the way, it is easy to see exactly how the stitches are being formed. After using the machine for this work, it seems great for enabling the visualisation of what is happening under the foot when using the machine in its regular functions (foot fitted). Particularly for novices like me at 73 yrs of age, and new to sewing. Also being "just a male". Supported 👍 and subscribed. Thank you very much, Anastasia.
Great technique if you can’t afford a embroidery machine. However the quality of a machine embroidery is spectacular l. I’ve made some beautiful things with mine. I’ve had mine for years, I’d love a newer version however I get mine serviced when needed and it’s lasted a long time. I love it.
I have Grandma's 1921 treadle sewing machine, and it has instructions in the manual to do this. She still kept all the papers with it, and there is a coupon made on a typewriter, to get a pair of sheer hose mailed to you, for 50 cents. I know why it's still in the drawer....she she was a very sensible lady, and wouldn't have wasted grandpa's hard earn money to pretend they were high to do.
One thing I noticed, after telling us to raise the pressure foot to get the hoop under it, you didn’t mention to put it down to begin sewing. This might cause a lot of frustration for those who have never tried this technique. Thanks for the video.
Would it really matter? The reason you sew with the presser foot down is to keep the fabric against the feed dogs so they work correctly pulling the fabric along. Here you aren't using the feed dogs at all. I'd think you could use the free motion guide foot, in which case you would put the foot down.
@@janemartin229 raising the presser foot, also releases the thread tension at the same time. you need to lower it to apply the proper tension , ...... or bird-nesting can occur.
Unrelated but you remind me so much of Kathryn from Do It On a Dime. Except for the hair color y’all could be sisters. I love your channel and your teaching style. Very approachable!
Ive always wanted to do this. Thnx gor video. You mention change your stitch length. What is it & why, when moving the hoop makes the stitch length. Pls clarify. So excited!
I bought a plate to cover my feed dogs, because I do have the facility to disable them...then I found a bag of accessories I'd forgotten about...guess what was in it! Well, at least I now have two in case I lose one!😜
@@tatyana.mikina it’s up to you. Sometimes I change it & sometimes I leave it. If you are worried about it showing on the top then change your bobbin thread. Happy embroidery 🧵
Very cool. Very “primitive”. Very authentic and resourceful. BTW… I love this channel. (I just ordered my rolling hem attachments last night from the previous video.)
First comment: how does the bobbin thread not start to knot up in a wad? I have this problem. My Husqvarna is old, a model 215, but solution should apply, I would think. Also, I haven't figured out how to lower the feed dogs.
Can you use the satin stitch like what is used for button holes to do filled embroidery...with this method...I would like to see you do that please...love your channel....I subscribe as soon as I came across it a couple years ago...God bless you
@@SewAnastasia thank you so very much...I am from Trinidad and Tobago...in the caribbean...when ever you have time I would love to see a tutorial of you doing it
@@SewAnastasiayou do your tutorial so good you make sewing easy to understand. You have a great balance in talking and actual cutting and sewing ...never boring
