Brilliant tutorial! I usually don't see Q-snaps used in videos, just a lot of hand held or round hoops. I have been using Q-snaps for over 20 years and can't imagine stitching any other way.

Thanks for another great tutorial! I gotta admit, as soon as I rec’d my supplies I started it and he has been sitting on my finishing table waiting to be cut & a hanger put on. So much fun!!!!! Will be doing another one soon

@nancyevans7609 11 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for this tutorial on perforated paper and the preparation for stitching in a q snap frame. I have some kits from Mill Hill and will refer to this when I start a project in the future.

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

If you're going to try sewing fabric on I would double check to make sure you have enough of a margin on the paper. I think Mill Hill cuts them fairly close.

@nancyevans7609 11 месяцев назад

Hi Helen. Thanks for the tutorial! I just wanted to share you can do a front loop start with three strands. I stitch with 14ct a lot and love how 3 strands fills out the pattern. I naturally cross my X’s starting on bottom left and finishing on top right. So with that being said. The way I stitch with even and odd numbers of floss in any count of Aida, is in this manner. From the front of the fabric in the top left hole ; I go down into that hole and leave a small tail, I now from the back, go through the top right hole and back down into that same hole which creates the loop, I now bring my floss through the bottom left hole (being careful not to close the loop we just created)and bring my needle up into the loop that was created in the top right. This will create a small knot that closes when we go back through the top right hole & down through the bottom right hole. Once I come up through the bottom right hole, I clip the tail I initially created in the top left corner and proceed to finish my X off in the top left corner hole and continue to stitch. I hope this helps and I hope it makes sense. Happy Stitching!

I never would have thought to sew fabric strips onto perforated paper to put it in a Qsnap! Brilliant, definitely doing this next time. My Freaky Fair Isle is on black plastic 10ct mesh with the thick DMC matte floss - it’s going to be enormous and I love that! Also, I may have started early… 🤫 😊

Mine is always in danger of getting attacked by cats, so I thought I would give this a try.

This is so helpful! I have several Satsuma kits and have not felt confident enough to stitch on the paper without affixing it to something. Thank you!

@ginnyandersen8527 11 месяцев назад

Great tutorial. A little tip - to avoid the snarly start, try doing a "Leader-Ender". There are many places that explain this. It really is slick for sewing without starting glitches.

@patemmack7205 11 месяцев назад

Great idea. Personally, I love stitching on the perforated paper because it is so light, but the q snap would make it more comfortable for people who are afraid it might bend. The bat looks like a fun project.

@gleehanson4775 11 месяцев назад

I appreciate this. I had serious concerns that sewing would further perforate the paper and basically cut it. This is a relief!

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

Honestly this is my first time trying it, but it feels secure!

@bugnurse 11 месяцев назад

Great tutorial, thanks! I have one of my big Mill Hill pieces (the ones that are usually mounted in a frame) tacked onto stretcher bars, it works out great. I use thumbnails to tack it down without harm to the paper or stretcher bars. Enjoyed seeing your process as always, I learn something new. 😊

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

@joygoodloe1263 11 месяцев назад

Can't wait to stitch mine. I wanted a higher count paper, so I bought some 18ct in white. I took a security blackout stamper and inked it black. It seemed to coat it well with no warping. And now I can use the loop method to start. 😊

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

Perfect!

@susangautreaux996 11 месяцев назад

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

I don't know. I know she just held her retreat this weekend so she's been really busy. I"m going to reach out to her at the end of the week, but you could always message her on Instagram and ask.

@margaretkrueger9664 11 месяцев назад

Helen question Why to you measure for the center? I always cut my perforated paper to the size I need plus a margin for error and then make an X from corner to corner and where the lines intersect is the center. This way has always workes for me, and I don't have to worry about messing up my measurements. Thanks for the info on sewing on the perforated pater I didn't know you could do that. Have fun with your bat.

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

I've seen it done that way too. I guess this is just how I was originally shown.

@freemak1 11 месяцев назад

On the perforated paper pattern, should you go up and down? Or left and right? Also, should you do one complete stitch at a time? Or do half going right or up and then the other half on the way back?

@kathyadams5294 11 месяцев назад

Good information! I'm doing the Mill Hill Nativity kits, and do you think there is enough margin to add the fabric? I think the cuts are pretty tight for those, but wondering what you think. I found I could not use the stretcher bars, and had a hard time trying to get the perforated paper off in one piece. Thanks so much.

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

Honestly I'm not sure, you'd have to do some math. Sewing the fabric on uses about a quarter of an inch on all four sides, so you would have to see how much of a margin they gave you.

@evaeslami4453 11 месяцев назад

When do you cut the backing? Do you trace and then cut or cut with the stitched pieee?

@helend.flosstube 11 месяцев назад

I usually cut the piece first and then trace it onto the backing. You can even make a photocopy of your actual cut out stitching and use that instead of tracing too
