When using Pigma pens, be sure to heat set the ink after you finish writing but before you attach it to the finished product. Or else sometimes the ink smudges or fades.
Oh thank you for the tip! I did use some heat applying the steam a seam but that was on accident! I’ll hit it with some heat deliberately to make sure!
Hi Fallon, I love that you sew each project, that comes each month. You always do such a nice job and tell us if you struggle a little so we can be on the look out with a certain part.. I really appreciate that. 🥰 All your tips are so nice and helpful. I seem to be on the struggle bus with all my sewing projects lately and full of self doubts. It’s hampering my abilities and really lengthening my projects.. and I’m spending a lot of time with Jack. (Picking) 😳😳😬 I have always had a delayed reaction to a tragedy, my husband is also having difficulty with his projects too. I guess we’ve been together for so many years my reactions have rubbed off on him, poor guy. I hope you have a good week and thank you for all you do, 🥰👍 Chris
Hi Fallon, what a great box. You’re always so inspiring. Hope you had a very happy Mother’s Day. It was bittersweet for me, as my family who’d been living with us for almost 2 years moved out, into their lovely brand new home. Happy for them, sad for me, but still it had to happen. Though we still have their dog, an overly friendly Staffy! At least till they get their fencing all done? Bless you. ❤️🇦🇺
Love it as well! I'll make the tale runner for my friend's birthday in July. The first 2 FQs are buttons from old manual typewriters. Thankfully, the manual typewriters I learned on (in the 70s) had bigger buttons lol. Check out Underwood antique typewriters....pretty cool!
I enjoyed this video. I love Pigma Micron pens. I have a set of three that I bought at JoAnn back in 2019 when I had a 60% off coupon. The set has sizes 01, 03, and 05. I use mainly the 01 and 03 sizes. I use them for both writing on fabric and for writing on tiny labels for regular household use. I find that the ink gradually fades from fabric with repeated washing. I recently made two baby quilts. Since they will be washed frequently, I used my Bernina’s alphabet stitches to stitch the words on the labels. I used tear-away stabilizer behind two layers of fabric to prevent puckering of the fabric. Even though the stabilizer is meant to be torn away, tearing can pull on the stitching and distort the letters, so I used my tiny embroidery scissors to cut away the strips of stabilizer between the rows of letters. I don’t try to remove the stabilizer from between letters, and I don’t cut the threads that connect the letters and words.
I use a wash away stabilizer from sulky that works so well! I ran into the same issue you talked about where tearing the stabilizer pulled stitches. This one I am using rinses away under cold tap water. Now if you are working on a project that you don’t want to get wet it really won’t work on that, but it might be something to look at for some projects.
