I LOVE making fabric postcards. I mail mine in the clear envelope and I use a standard first class stamp or a first class international stamp. I use an adhesive label for the addresses. They mail fine that way right from my home mailbox. I consider them pieces of art also. I use comic book board for the back of my postcards. That way they can lean against something on the mantle, placed in a small picture frame or hung on the wall. Fun video. Thanks for sharing.

Slow stitching on quilts is called Hand Quilting. It is how they were done before sewing machines. They were all hand quilted.

@DanielaMellen 3 месяца назад

There has always been a special place in my hearts for quilting, especially, hand quilting. Quilts have such a rich history - practical, social, historic, meditative, and family oriented. What an act of love to piece together scraps of fabric into a quilt, designed to warm your loved ones. Then, the history of quilt designs, the Underground Railroad, Quilting Bees, etc. I find it to be such a beautiful art. Thanks for your comment, it brought up a lovely feeling.

@@DanielaMellen I'm from the UK and heard how letters from a girls boyfriend or husband who was away at war would be used to make a paper pieced quilt because paper was maybe too costly or in short supply. And they left them in the quilt - wonderful.

@DanielaMellen 3 месяца назад

@eileenfb1948 oh! I love all these takes regarding quilting! Wonderful history!

@elizabethsawyer5906 Год назад

Thank you Daniela for the thorough explanation for getting a fabric postcard ready for the post. I have made a few postcards quite a while ago but only with a machine rather like the beautiful one you showed with the strips of fabric zigzagging around the edge. I put it inside an envelope to post which I think is safer but doesn’t bring any joy to the post person 😕 💕

@DanielaMellen Год назад

But, I'm sure it brought joy to the recipient! ❤️

@ravenlunatic1177 8 месяцев назад

One important thing, bring your postcard you are sending in a clear envelope to the counter unsealed. Have the post office cancel the stamp, then seal the bag. The ink won’t stay on the plastic sleeve, it will smear badly. By having it cancelled then sealed it’s protected while going through the post and properly posted.

@lovella66 Год назад

Paying for the non-machinable postage is important if you want your postcard to not be destroyed by getting stuck in a machine. Passing the mailing info on to recipient is also important if they might use it as an actual postcard

@DanielaMellen Год назад

Good idea to share that info with the recipient.

@susanspisak65 Год назад

This is so fun !!!! I’m going to do this ….. I am wondering…. Would Aida cloth, with cross stitching, stick to a piece of fabric if I use a gluing spray of sorts ? Or, maybe a piece of heat bind between the Aida and then to the fabric…. Is the heat bond adhesive on both sides??

@DanielaMellen Год назад

The Heat n Bond is adhesive on both sides. I think the Aida cloth would work beautifully.

@nlowequilts Год назад

Aida cloth would absolutely work! You could heat bond, WonderUnder or Heat n Bond, your piece of fabric or even to your card stock. It would also be very pretty to straight stitch around the edges after attaching it to your fabric. 🙂

I have considered sending a slowstitch postcard but figured they would get pretty ragged. Where do you get the cellophane pouches? What a great idea! My preferred size for slowstitch work is 4 x 6. I have tacked pieces this size on purchased blank notecards and envelopes of the 5 x 7 ish size and sent them in the mail to people - hand stamped if they have buttons and other dimensional elements. The receiver can choose to stand the card on a shelf and enjoy it, add it (with some modification) to a 5 x 7 frame with the card as the mat, or add it to a 4 x 6 frame. I enjoyed this video!

@lasumm Год назад

What is the difference between slow stitching and hand stitching?

@DanielaMellen Год назад

Great question! They can be one and the same... but slow stitching refers to the idea that your work involves the PROCESS of whatever hand sewing method you enjoy (crochet, knitting, tatting, embroidery, cross stitch). Also, "slow stitching" can be defined as pulling stitches through fabric, without a specific plan, but just to create. The results are unexpected and without structure. I have a video that explains it in a bit more detail. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F2DBOt4IBVw.html
