The third one is SO helpful! I've always had problems with like... having to sew down the last piece of fur to a head, but being too afraid of the seams showing so I'd have to cut a little hole and flip it inside out and it was way too much work that could've been avoided >
bless you for keeping the video nice and slow-i always get lost when people speed it up too much 😅 i'll definitely be coming back to this once i start making my own suit 👍👍
Thank you so much Kloof! I'll be sure to reference this video when I need to. I pledged what I can for now - will hopefully pledge some more in the future when I can!
Thank you, I was so excited to receive an email of a new pledge - every little bit helps me put more time into sharing my work and my videos. I hope you enjoy what you see :3
i saw your tail/update video from 2016 in a 'fursuit making' search just now, then i checked your channel for recent videos and here i am. that ladder stitch blew my mind. i wanna get into suit making
I'd very much like to make more videos - I have a new timelapse on the way that I'm filming right now, and I have lots of others planned - I hope I can find the time to make more videos for you all :D
Awesome video! I was actually doing the ladder stitch the wrong way so I learned something new! I'll soon check out your patreon and pledge (might be in a couple of weeks when I know im financially secure). You make great videos and I learn a lot from them. i find myself watching them time and time again because I keep finding myself learning new things from them even after the 5th watch through! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more video's! Wether they be tutorials or not. Edit: whoops i meant ladder stitch haha
I'm aware you use the zig-zag stitch a lot in your tutorials, I'm confused as to what parts of the fursuit to use that stitch on and why using that stitch would be better than the blanket stitch?
older comment and be aware that i'm not a maker but: in clothing zig zag stitch is generally used for stretchy fabrics and knits, as well as places that need to stretch more. it allows the fabric to move with its intended amount of stretch without separating or popping the seam as easily. the blanket stitch offers a much better hold on heavier materials like thick fleece or fur, and in my experience is used for binding raw edges on fabrics or pieces you can't really hem easily (like a blanket!). it's a much more robust stitch, but it isn't necessary or even desirable for everything.
these are very helpful. i plan on making my own fursuit but i never learned how to sow. ive been looking through so many videos and preparing a list of materials i will need and how much it is and how much i need. these are REALLY helpful tho for when i actually make it. thank you!
I found one of your other videos very helpful, but now I'm wondering, is it possible to do a cube head for a fur suit, if it is can you perhaps do a tutorial on it???
Same answer as previous reply - you can hand stitch everything! This video mostly applies to the times I need to hand stitch, but by all means you do not need a machine. I taught myself by making everything by hand for a couple years!
