Made my first pad for my piggies thanks to your well explained tutorials. It came out perfect, cant wait to make the liner next. Thank you so very much for being so thorough. Its been over 30 years since I've used my sewing machine, so glad to make these for my sweet piggies. Thank you again😊

If you want to avoid seeing the turn hole stitching what you can do is when you’re trimming around the pad, leave a tab uncut where the opening is. I also trim the uhaul in that area to cut down on seam bulk. Then, when you turn it right side out, you can just top stitch as normal about a quarter inch or a third inch and still catch the hole :) You want to make sure you use a smaller seam allowance on the top stitch than you did for the inside so that you do catch it. So, like you sewed the pad with 1/2 inch seam allowance so a quarter to a third on top stitching will catch it :) I also roll my fleece edges flat when I’m top stitching instead of pinning them after turning. Cuts one step out and saves time and gives the same result. Sorry for the long comment, I used to have a sewing business selling cloth menstrual pads for years, and I found these aren’t much different except the absorbent materials.

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

Yeah I don't actually pin after, I just said that because it's helpful for beginners lol I can't really do any smaller seam allowance for the top stitching because I don't want to be sewing through all the layers at the edge if that makes sense. Like I'd be sewing through the seam that's on the inside again so double the layers. I sew as close to the edge where that seam is as I can get when I do the inseam. I don't like to trim the edges before turning a ton like some people because that defeats the purpose of a larger seam allowance used for strength with the thicker layers.

@tlomax2768 2 года назад

cooool

@Coffeebe4n 2 года назад

I’m enjoying this series. I have all the materials just need to take the leap - can you serge the edges rather than sew? My overlocker/serger is much better than my sewing machine

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

I have no idea, idk how sergers work 😅 I'm not much help there. I'm glad you're enjoying the series!

@bethanymears 2 года назад

I'm not sure if you ended up making them with your serger or anything, but even though its 10 months later, I thought I would reply. I made a couple with my serger and they seem to work really well, they just end up being bulkier on the sides, but if you don't mind that, it should be fine. Just be careful with how thick the fabric ends up being, I ended up breaking a couple of needles, and of course sergers are not the easiest thing to re-thread. :)

@craftygurl42 Год назад

When I close a hole I always top stitch all the way around then can't even tell where the hole was.

@kristiekeith1191 2 года назад

Can you give us a approximate time for each pad from start to finish? Can you use a rotary cutter to trim the seams? Thanks for this tutorial. It is very helpful.

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

I would say start to finish a full liner might take me like an hour and a half if I was just making one. Kinda hard to guess as I usually follow this exact process of doing all my cutting at once, sewing at once, etc.

@faeryfire721 Год назад

What would you recommend doing if the layers are so think it doesn't fit under the pressure foot?

@TheTinyHerd Год назад

Some machines you can raise the presser foot height. But I usually just went with a heavy duty machine type so I didn’t have that issue and so I didn’t ruin the machine.

@_kier_ 2 года назад

Your liners look great! The big ones are so hard to work with and I really appreciate the tip that keeping it flat will help reduce the amount of bubbles! I was actually wondering which HD Singer machines specifically you recommend? I’m looking around for one to replace my old one but there’s so many and the reviews are scary, I’m not sure which to choose. I was thinking about the computerized HD? Help!! 😂

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

Thanks! I didn't even know there was a computerized HD lol I have the two I've used linked down below, and I talk about about more in part one of this series too! Singer machines are generally pretty good quality so I'd say you can't go too wrong. I never read sewing machine reviews because 80% of them on places like Amazon are from people who don't take the time to learn to use the machine correctly 😂

@_kier_ 2 года назад

Oh ok my bad! I forget about the description box 😅 I haven’t heard anyone mention the computerized ones anywhere so that made me hesitant. I’m new to sewing but I really love it so I wanted something with more features but also HD for liners. You are so right about the reviews, too! 😂 I just decided to go for it so hopefully it works out 😬

@KimRingo-jo5dl Год назад

What size and name fabric like waterproof fabric ? You did good work

@TheTinyHerd Год назад

I don’t use waterproof fabric for mine so I’m not sure what types that would be.

@annarushing8924 Год назад

Do you do wicking process after sewing? I have seen lots of people say before you sew but I think I heard someone say in a video you can wick after. Thought I’d ask.

@TheTinyHerd Год назад

I wick after sewing, I just find it easier

@margaretorourke2103 2 года назад

What size needle do you use? Also, can you prewash the uhaul before sewing? Thanks!

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

You can prewash but I've found it makes the uhual kinda hard to work with. I use a 80/20 or 90/14 usually. You can go thicker if you're having issues getting through the layers.

@ella4195 2 года назад

Can you use 2 layers of U-haul? I like my liners to be thicker but idk if problems would arise by doing it that way

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

Yes you can! They will just be heavier. Some people do 2 layers in all their liners.

@FacialFischl Год назад

Do you need a different type of needle for hand sewing/ladder stitch? Whatever size needle I try it could not pass through the fabrics. The rear part of the needles are just too thick. Thank you so much for making the tutorial!

@TheTinyHerd Год назад

If you hand sew any part of it, you would only want to go through the fleece layers

@FacialFischl Год назад

@@TheTinyHerd the needle couldn't go through any fabric, I think I need needles specific for hand sewing? Like the ones whose eye is at the back end instead of near the sharp end(the needles used for machine sewing)

@TheTinyHerd Год назад

@@FacialFischl oh yeah, you would need hand sewing needles to sew by hand

Are moving blankets the same as uhaul pads?

It depends, the uhaul pads are made of a specific material. They aren't fabric.

Hey i have a question: How many square feet is a 120x120cm cage? I’m not quite sure how to determine square feet

@krisd8943 2 года назад

To work out square feet you multiply the length and width. As yours is in cm you need to measure in feet (120cm is just short of 4ft). So 4x4=16 square feet

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

You would convert the cm to inches first. So that would be about 47.24 inches. Then you'd divide that by 12 to convert to feet. So that's 3.94 feet. So then 3.94x3.94= 15.52.

@person39 2 года назад

Ok Thanks 😊

@alyssagood4218 2 года назад

I cannot keep my fleece from puckering and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… is there a way to adjust your foot height?

@TheTinyHerd 2 года назад

Some machines you can adjust the foot height. You just have to go slow and adjust the fleece lay as you go. I don't keep my edges of my fleece lined up as I go because they always shift, that's why I use a 1/2 seam allowance.
