“It really pays to go slow” as you fly through those stitches! 😄

Perfect

Nice and neat. I need to work on this stitch. Wonderful demo. ❤

Great demonstration. I was having trouble with this stitch.

That does look easy. I made mine with the pen method and it seemed to come out good. I’ll definitely try your method. Thank you

So Professional 🧵

Love this

Sweet😊

So neat. I was having some trouble with my Candy Canes. Yours are very neat and pretty. 👏

Perfect!😮

Nice. I like the Second way also. Neat. Looks ready to eat. 😂

Very cute

Fantastic!!! Your stitching looks amazing. I will try this. I’m going to do the split stitch! 🐈‍⬛

Really great idea. Love it. Looks neat. ❤

Very cute

Hi. Thank you Michelle Wood I love your way of making the Candy Canes. They are somewhat difficult to stitch and somewhat small. Yours look wonderful. I love them

Hi. I just have started to learn to make Stocking Kits. I retired about 5 years ago. And bought 10 kits. And never started one. But I have finished 4 so far. I really enjoyed making them. I just watched your video and subscribed. I love the way you made the backing. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

Thank you for all your helpful tips!! ❤❤

That hang tag is as pretty as the rest of the stocking. Thanks for sharing!🪡❤

I found you again!!!

Michelle, is that a mini sewing machine? I’ve just started lining mine and hate to sew, ironically, so I’m thinking g a mini is for me. Something I can tuck away when not in use.

Thank you Michelle! Great video and very helpful. You probably made another video on how to add the lining - I was surprised that doesn’t go on before you stitch the front and back together. I haven’t made a stocking yet (only ornaments) and your videos are a huge help.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for adding the candy "learning curve". I am going to be finishing up my first stocking and was debating on sewing it all together lining and stocking as one unit... definitely won't be doing that now!!!!

Hi Michelle! So glad you posted this. Thank you! I’m just starting the Night Before Christmas mice (2023/2024 kit?) and having problems. The directions are lacking diagrams for the back of the mice so I’m lost as to how the pieces go together properly. Hoping this video will help. 🤞🏻

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

Wow!! Looks amazing!

How does one keep the scissors sharp! ??

Thank you for this! I'm helping 6th graders do this project for school and without this video I was lost.

THANK YOU so much for this video because I was doing something totally different from just trying to interpret the picture on the kit.

Just started on this kit after about a 7 month break from Bucilla kits-had a lot of other things I needed to work on. Thank you for the excellent tutorial, I initially didn’t sew the red mushroom stem pieces and bottom right sides together. Fixed that and it looks so much better!

Brillant -thanks! Dropping the thread down is just the hack I needed!

Brilliant!!

EXCELLENT and to the point!! THANK YOU!!!!!! ❤

Thank you. I’m making my 1st stocking. I have to keep referring to your videos. Appreciate the videos

Am I supposed to separate each floss? Each strand separate?

Thank you so much!

I love how you go back through and make a knot to secure the sequins in case one comes loose. Very few people realize how much time and patience that little practice saves in last-minute repairs! I also love how you hand sew them for the same reason. They make presser feet for sewing machines and little feeders for pre-strung sequins and beads, but the ones I've seen just sew around the beads and sequins, only securing the thread that strings the beads together to the fabric. What a disaster such a thing could present! There are no shortcuts with projects like these! It's so good to see someone who knows and understands the value of hand-sewn detail work like this!

How do you keep the stitches straight? Sometimes mine are ok and then other times they are crooked.

Another question please. Doing a lot of these stockingsand finding sometimes short of sequins. Company will send more but takes along time. Do you know of any stores that carry them or somewhere online. Can't find them with beads,to attach them

Where can I get comb for fringe? And thanks for the video was big help!

I use 4lb Crystal Fireline to sew 99% of my stockings. The line is clear and disappears into the felt. I never see the line unless my stitches are too big. Changing threads is no usually necessary. The other thing I do is use #11 Miyuki Delica beads - silver lined - in the colors the sequins are. The clear beads supplied are not good - broken and a lot of them drilled too small for a beading needle to go through. I love the dressed up hang tag you do! Imma steal that idea! 🙂

This was the first felt stocking I made, in the original colors for my granddaughter. Love these new colors also!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I used it on my first stocking kit, which I just finished and it looks so nice thanks to the lining. I’m a novice sewist but your instructions are simple and clear so even I could do it. Thank you so much.

❤ Thank you!

Thank you! They're incredible!

Great video! Those are really cute! I’d love to see your embellishments to them when you finally do it. 🍄

What about adding some pinto beans so the mushrooms can stand up?

I wanted to do the Elegant Stocking. It is a white on white Father Christmas with semi-quilted running lines sewn with a metallic thread. I am going to have to scrape around 30 squares with each square having four unique dashed lines for over 120 tiny lines. Then, I get to sew without the guidelines. I do not recommend this pattern. It is going to be a real headache. Better to have a pattern on the back side and a light box to shine through. I may try to redo the whole stocking with unmarked white felt picked up at JoAnn's.
