Follow along and watch me struggle through this project -LOL. I created a mini art quilt featuring a Tiger Lily. The color was added with Derwent Inktense Pencils.

It’s very important to keep your fabric taut while stitching. Think of an embroidery hoop. It serves the purpose of keeping the fabric from puckering as you stitch. Same thing in quilting. I always start in the middle of a project and work outwards as it is much easier to keep the fabric taut and smooth out the puckers while under the needle. As I stitch, I keep both hands flat against the fabric and close to the needle as it gives me excellent control. Of course, as in embroidery, use a fusible stabilizer. That works to keep the fibers from wanting to pull in on itself as your stitching. Happy sewing!

Thank you so much for your tips!

It’s beautiful, I’m pleased the quilting fixed the puckering.❤❤ Thanks for sharing.❤

Such pretty lillies! I have some stitched flowers that I will be colouring up with inktense as soon as I can get to them. I can't wait. This is a good push in the right direction.

@susanmachler1495 8 месяцев назад

Stabilizer that used for embroidery machines instead of interfacing. I like tear-away, but there are others.

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Yes- I think thats what I need to try. Thanks so much for your comment.

@MsMC-vr1jd 8 месяцев назад

The quilting sure hid the puckers. You rock everything, Julia!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Agree- the quilting saved the day!

I look forward to seeing each new creation of yours! I love how you are able to find solutions that work so well. The quilting around your flowers was the perfect fix. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and craft with us all!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying my project. I never know where they are going but it's fun taking you all along with me!

@jennifertompkins7462 8 месяцев назад

Love this project!!! I’ve experienced the puckering when using a stiffer interfacing than fabric before stitching. Try using lightweight or knit interfacing on the muslin. Or a sturdier muslin. I have learned so much from your videos and look forward to every one of them. Merry Christmas!!!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I have a knit interfacing in my stash somewhere- I'm going to give it a try. Thanks so much for the comment! Julia

Just beautiful, Julia! I LOVE that plaid fabric for the border (I would have never thought to use a plaid) -- it looks so colorful and bright. Thanks for another great video giving us ideas on how to use our Inktense pencils!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I wasn't sure about the plaid but it really helped pop the colors. Thank you so much for your comment! Julia

@dianamarlowe3352 8 месяцев назад

Ive use aloe vera to spread out my pencil medium. I agree with others about a stabilizer. Beautiful

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing!!

@shirleybooth3817 8 месяцев назад

Use fusible stabilizer that is for machine embroidery. Use two layers for heavy stitching. Love your videos and creative ideas!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Others recommended the fusible made for machine embroidery. I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for the tip❤️

@maryjokruer6127 8 месяцев назад

Great art quilt! I’ve found that the smaller the quilting, the better puckers disappear. It’s an amazing save for what looks like a disaster! So glad you didn’t give up on it, because it’s just beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Many blessings to you and your family for all the upcoming holidays!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I’m glad I didn’t give up. The quilting saved the day! Happy holidays to you and yours too!

@dianneeverett1633 8 месяцев назад

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thank you

@conniesmith3837 8 месяцев назад

I think the puckering is from too tight of tension on your thread machine? That's what I have found with my puckering.

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Hi Connie, I think you are right. It seemed tight when stitching and then when I ironed it to remove the pen, it really started to pucker. I have to experiment some more. Thanks so much for your tip. Julia

@suelane724 8 месяцев назад

I love your style, ideas & tips - this is beautiful work & the quilting has solved your 'problem' - have had the same issues when doing similar close stitching so when free motioning on a single layer would use tearaway stabliizer

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Next time I am going to try the tearaway stabilizer. The muslin needs something but the iron on interfacing was hard to work with. Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! Julia

@sherrierunion4014 8 месяцев назад

Your mini quilt turned out wonderful! Your idea of meander quilting was perfect! I have found if I use Solvy I get a little less puckering. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! God bless!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I agree- Solvy would have been a better choice. Have you ever run Solvy through a printer? I’m curious about trying. Merry Christmas to you too. Thanks for watching!

@sherrierunion4014 8 месяцев назад

I have never tried Solvy in a printer. But then I have never been brave enough to try running fabric through the printer! 😂

@DH-ku6qg 8 месяцев назад

Wow! What a difference the quilting made. You are such a talent and a wiz at combining different media to make such a lovely result. Thanks for showing us the possibilities.

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!

@protoolsfan1150 8 месяцев назад

Once again you’ve pulled it off. Great save and wonderful looking quilt!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much!

@suzannereese4908 8 месяцев назад

I have found if you put your embroidery project upside down on a towel and PRESS with an iron most of the wrinkles will disappear. However in your case, you probably needed a heavier stabilizer or two layers. HTH

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I'm going to try the towel tip. Thanks for the comment!

@julieagar4483 8 месяцев назад

Love the mini quilt, good thing you carried on stitching and painting. ❤❤

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I’m glad I pushed through 😊

@magdalenamikulska3323 8 месяцев назад

Lovely project❤

@carolinecarpenter 8 месяцев назад

That’s lovely, thanks for sharing. You have such great ideas. I have this book, it’s packed full of useful floral drawings. I think it was watching you use it in one of your earlier videos that encouraged me to buy it.

@carolinecarpenter 8 месяцев назад

Maybe two layers of muslin instead of the stabiliser? Regardless it turned out fine, well done for sticking with it.

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

The book is wonderful and I have used it in previous videos. I will be doing more experimenting with different stabilizers. Thanks so much for your comment!

@janaebraden9377 8 месяцев назад

Wouldn't lengthening your stitch help to reduce the puckering?

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

My stitch length is set at 0 when free motion stitching. It’s hard to regulate and sometimes my stitches get too close. Practice! I’ll have to do my experimenting with other types of stabilizers.

@shereeblack5706 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful! Love all your projects!

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!

@rachelburgener819 8 месяцев назад

So after reading the other suggestions, they all sound great! I’ve never done this style project- would it work to use your batting in place of interfacing!?!?? I have been learning from y’all and someday I’ll give this a go! Merry Christmas ❤️😀

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Hi Rachel, Yes - I should have used batting instead of the interfacing, I'm sure that would have helped. Thanks so much for watching. Merry Christmas!

@kathybost1879 8 месяцев назад

love this little quilt, and the borders are just perfect. could you have put the interfacing on when you heat set the pencils?

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for your comment. The muslin was light weight and I needed something under it when stitching. I am going to do some experimenting with different stabilizers.

@Oonagh72 8 месяцев назад

I think the tension on you machine was wrong and that is why it puckered. That’s why you could see the other thread come through.

@ndlz1 8 месяцев назад

Outstandingly beautiful!😍🙏

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!

@heatherg4945 8 месяцев назад

Do you ever use this method of using your pencils on your sweatshirt? Wondering if it would hold up?

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I haven't used them on sweatshirts. I'm not sure how they would hold up. Someone mentioned that they used them on an apron that is washed often and had good luck. Thanks for watching!

@traceytowner176 8 месяцев назад

Hi Julia! Have you tried sf101 before? I used it on an embroidery project that I quilted and it worked really well, but I didn’t use fabric medium on top. Your project turned out lovely! Bravo :-)

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

I’m going to give sf101 a try. Thanks for the tip.

@karenkaren9526 5 месяцев назад

Maybe you could have used interfacing on the back

@stitchesbyjulia 5 месяцев назад

Hi, I used a medium weight interfacing. I think the interfacing may have shrunk up when heat set the design. Or my tension was too tight. The quilting saved this project. Thanks so much for watching, Julia

@uniquelylily1166 5 месяцев назад

Seems like stitch is too tight to me. My hand embroidery used to come out like thats sometimes.

@jennym007 8 месяцев назад

Im 6 minutes into your video and I've already purchased the floral book and the pencil sharpener that you use. Luckily I already own some Intense pencils otherwise i think id be buying those as well 🤗 I LOVE your videos Julia! You are such an inspiration to me. I have been doing Sizzix Bigz Die applique and Gelli-plate printing 100% because of you. Life is never dull. 👍😁👍🩷🩷

@stitchesbyjulia 8 месяцев назад

Your comment means so much. The floral book is wonderful. I've used it many times. Some use it for hand embroidery also. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos :)
