If you are working with fusible webs like this, it is worth investing in a silicon pressing mat (or two) to ensure the glue does not end up on your pressing surface or iron.

Thank you so much. I have several pairs of shorts I need to hem and have always been intimidated by the twin needles. This helped a ton!
Sometimes my thread doesn't work. Sometimes there is too much thread behind fabric. My tension is between 2 and 3. Should I keep thread in my hand before starting ?
@sewingboxsomerset53284 ай бұрын
Hiya tension seems low mine. Is usually on 4 ( the mid point) and yes bring the bobbin thread up on to the top ( just do needle down then up ND pull the loop up) and hold both threads to start and that should help. Do make sure you have some kind of stabilizer on the back though xx

@sewingboxsomerset53285 ай бұрын
Hiya yes you need a bobbin thread as well. Best to start by taking one stitch (needle down then up) to bring the bobbin thread up onto the top of your work to start with and then stop after a few stitches and trim the long tails so they don't get in your way. Xx

I've been making a Sunbonnet Sue quilt from my daughter's outgrown dresses. I've watched a ton of videos on hand applique to figure out what is easiest. Yours is the only one I've seen with the foil method. I've been using this method for three days and it works amazing for the little hands, sleeves, and such. The skirt and bonnet I can finger press and needle turn. I can't thank you enough for showing this method. 🌻🍄

Hello, I'm a newbie to machine sewing and appliqué. I like the satin stitch because it gives a neat and professional finish look. I wanted to ask, you said that when sewing the satin stitch and reaching the end of the corner, the needle must be down on to the outer side of the fabric. What will happen if it's on the left side of the fabric? Afterall it's a zig zag stitch. Thank you for your time and help.
@sewingboxsomerset53287 ай бұрын
Because the satin stitch is so close you can put the needle over without it making much difference but if you leave it on the inside when you turn it will be out of alignment. Here's a link to a longer video I did for Janome on satin stitching which goes in to more detail. kzbin.info52aOmDV-218?si=vOg2P2kzTSsWSPbn

Bless you! Thank you so much for this video, I found it at just the right time. I have a quilt kit which is mostly appliqué and after doing a couple of blocks I was overwhelmed by the needleturn method as there are so many small leaves and flowers. Having spent a lot of money on this kit I would really like to get it finished at some point and thanks to your lovely video I think I might. I’m going to try the second method using the machine to sew on the interfacing. Thanks again, have subscribed xx

I love the 2nd method for projects with lots of pieces it means you can speed up the prep a bit.Hope you get it done...no rush...some projects are like fine wines and need time to mature!!! Enjoy the process! I also do videos for @Janomestitchclubuk on KZbin which are machine based. Xx

I like the idea of the foil, but why not saturate the edges of the fabric with starch first, then put the foil around it and press it. Then the starch will keep it in shape and you can remove the foil.

Hiya they are done with satin stitch which is the zigzag stitch with the stitch length shortened to 0.4 ( or the buttonhole setting if you are on a dial for length) and a width of about 3-3.5. Because it's a close stitch you can gently curve it as you stitch. Xx
