Fabric Postcards: Easy Sewing Tutorial with Rob Appell of Man Sewing 

All the years (and it's been decades, I won't say how many ;) ) and I never knew about the foot used for satin stitch. Thank you for this tip.

Great tutorial! I love this idea! I watch a lot of quilting tutorials and think to myself "well, that was nice or pretty or easy" but YOUR tutorials always make me think "yes! I'm going to do that!" They're such useful and creative projects that are quick and doable! Thanks for posting these videos for all of us!

What a cute/great idea!!!!! With Valentine's Day just a couple of weeks away this is a perfect way to use some of my beautiful Valentine fabric!!!!!

What a fun idea! I've got two 7-year-old grandsons and using superhero or star wars fabric will work well with this.

Thank you for this great idea! This would be so cute with kids' fabrics to send to my grandson.

what fun.....Valentines from Grandma! and thanks for sharing info about this foot that I have never used.

Hello and thank you ! I'm taking a class with my guild tomorrow . Just wanted to get the idea !! I will send you a card when finished !

Love this idea! I need to mail out some Thank you notes to a few people and think this would be perfect.

Love love love it!!! Fabulous tip about the foot change on the machine, I've always struggled doing the old way. THANKS Rob! xxx

Love this tutorial!! Such a thoughtful way to send a postcard and create a keepsake. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for the tutorial on making fabric postcards, Rob. I've been wanting to try this ever since I saw then at the Sisters Quilt Show for the Wish Upon A Card project. By the way, your class there in Sisters ROCKED! Thanks again- I enjoy watching your Man Sewing tutorials.

Photographers Edge sells stick on postcard backs for photographs, they would probably work for these as well!!!

I love this guy. How come he's not producing more videos.

This has to be one of my favorites that I've used more than any of the others. It was fun sending my special postcards to my grand-kids. I even sent one to the RETIRED POSTMASTER of a nearby town (friend of mine for Christmas.) I had used a material with cuddly puppies ready for Christmas fluffy border with white fleece. My words were a big laugh, saying "Now look at the crazy things that can go through the Post Office." She loved it and said the only way it would have gotten to her was because I used a 49 Cent stamp. (Which I saw on your video) Thanks bunches this was a blast for me. Please enter me in the drawing. I'm under a different name in Face Book, but I will get the email if you send it. Thank you.

What a wonderful idea. I have some very special fabric for Christmas and this has made me think what an amazing Christmas Card this would make! Thank you again for another great tutorial.

Great job Rob !!! I love the design. I'll be waiting for mine too..🙋🦋

Love this tutorial am hoping to do this for family Christmas cards but can't wait to try it why wait for Christmas

A very cute idea!

You have such fun ideas! Love this - would be fun to do with kids at camp - just need the sewing machines for them!

Sei simpaticissimo e bravissimo.thank You from Italy

Wow I love this!!!!

Love it Rob!

I love this tutorial and. Hope to make them for Christmas next year!

This is a great idea. Could also be used, if you wanted to make a littlepicture to hang on the wall of a favorite fabric design. Keep up the goodwork, Rob...............Barb

I can't wait to try this!

I just subscribed and I am so happy I did...I am grateful that you know to put all your videos in playlists..so few you tubers do that...and it makes it hard for viewers to find specifics and youtubers miss out on views they would have if they just made playlists :-) I've learned so much from you already! Thanks so much for sharing! Please tell me would you be willing to do garment construction videos? Can you do sellable fabric items? And, can you do things most professional sewists know but generally unknown to sewists. Ive only studied it for a few months...but I want to learn and learn fast...again, you have made that possible by using play-lists! Blessings, E.

This technique will be perfect for some coasters I want to make, including the satin stitch edging. Is that an overcast foot?

Oh my! What a lovely idea! I can't wait to make some. I enjoy mailing hand written notes to friends and family and this is a wonderful way to add another special touch. Thank you!

Thank you for the great tutorial

without a doubt - a Christmas card of such would be put in the Memory box

So fun!!!

I love this!

Very clever!

Your statement that the postcard be no larger than 4 x 6 confused me since I've sent out larger cards myself so I did some research. Postcards must a minimum of 3.5" x 5" can't be larger than 4" x 6" to get postcard postage pricing. Larger cards will get subject to letter postage pricing.

Just wondering if you have made a postcard using a pieced quilt block such as an Ohio Star? If so, please do a video to show how to put this together on a postcard.

Hi Rob, I Love your Videos so so much. I'm watching regularly and You got The Power to inspire me every single time! So i'm Wondering why You dont Upload more of your stuff :( when will appear a new Video ? I'm so excited and waiting for You

I am wondering what is the name of that foot he uses to do the satin stitch? Is it simply called a satin stitch foot? It looks different than the one I have for my Singer. Mine doesn't have the little stop. Thank you! :)

Thanks

Really cool idea! :-)

Have you made one using a serger to close the edges?

That is so cool!

Ready to send you one by snail mail! Is that Man Sewing at MSQ?

Rob, I saw the pressed foot you used, what is it called, where can I get it and will it work on Pfaff!

Cute idea. I am going to check my machine feet to see if I have one of those feet. Great project for busy days.

Great tutorial. The only problem I have is the corners of the satin stitch. They don't look pretty! I used the foot 2A on my Bernina and went around twice. Any suggestions please?

This is so cool. Question. What kind of needle did you use for the symtex (sp?). And how much postage was on the one you received?

What is the name of the foot you used ?..

How do you stick the address label?

Is that foot an overlock foot?

I wish you would have shown us the outcome..

What was the name of the stabilizing fabric that you used?

LOVE!! One question, where do you get the template for the back? Thank you, Becky

So I'm assuming there are no postal regulations or policies that keep a card like this going through the mail??? I'm assuming due to thickness & weight and standard stamp would be needed instead of a postcard stamp....?

I don't see how you did the writing side of the post card. The last clear instruction was the satin stich. Then to you talk about the writing side of the actual card. Do you hand draw it or what?

You are too funny!

Hi Rob, I was so inspired by this card so I made my own version and mentioned you. Look for my tutorial called "Mariellche 006". Thank you!

Could you also make your quilt sandwich and then glue it to an actual post card? I don't have the ability to print on fabric

My post office refuses to accept these for mailing. Please check before you go to the trouble of making them.

Remember u have to pay more for this when mailing. Don't just throw a stamp on it.😅😅😅

Love this! This would be good for Christmas or any holiday. Also travel locations too.
