If what you mean is "don't explain things, just do the stitch"... that's not what I do. I have always believed in teaching not just how, but why, and sometimes with what tools, you do the thing, whatever it is. I'm sorry if that isn't what you like but perhaps you can scroll to the end and watch the stitch.

I am a quilter who does use freezer paper for EPP . I use a free download of tesselated hexies and print it on printable freezer paper. It means that I have to get out my Xacto knife and cut them apart, but I think it's worth it to be able to iron the templates to the back of my fabric. ( and I reuse them about 6 times) I thread baste ( glue is too messy) and it's easy to stitch thru the paper. I can see where having a thicker freezer paper would be nice. Speaking of glue, I really like the way that you apply glue sparingly with the cuticle stick. What a great idea. Thanks!

@BeckyGoldsmith Ай бұрын
If you are talking about the two scissors in the video, one is about 6" and the other is about 4". They are good for different jobs. The long one works better for cutting out applique and other shapes because the blades are longer. You can cut farther with each cut. The shorter scissors are better for clipping, and other small cutting jobs. I use both scissors, but not for the same kinds of jobs. I prefer serrated scissors because they give you more control of what you are cutting.

That's disgusting she had it in the bathroom as you can see the toilet next to where she was working on this. I hope to God she doesn't use this vinyl tablecloth in the kitchen or dining area. If she did, I hope she had the brains to dispose of this. However, considering she made this video with the toilet tank showing I somehow doubt she has the brains to do just that. Anyways, I watched other videos using an ironing board and laying down a cotton towel to go over the creases it's definitely a more sanitary solution. I recommend doing this for a new vinyl cloth not using it in the bathroom. Please consider your environment next time when you decide to create videos.
@BeckyGoldsmith Ай бұрын
Hi Amita: so sorry to cause you distress. No, this is not a tablecloth, it's a small piece of vinyl used in crafting. You do bring up an interesting point. I know that in some parts of the world, the toilet is in its own room. If that is what you are used to, this would indeed seem strange. However, that is not the case in any home I have ever lived in, in the US. The "bathroom" is used for many things-including hair drying. My blow dryer is there and the counter surface was the right size and temperature for this small job-there you go 🤷♀️. Thank you for your point of view.

@@BeckyGoldsmith Wow! Thank you so much for the prompt response. Because the video is so old, I didn’t think you’d see my comment. I was an older nurse and started hand sewing and hand quilting during Covid and it really helped me cope. I watched several videos of yours before and they really helped me because you explain so well. Not sure why I never subscribed. I’ve corrected it since. This particular video is helpful because I am making a really large tree appliqué with many leaves and I usually top stitch, because it is easier for me. Thank you so very much.

@nancysimmons381 2 ай бұрын
Thank you for this! When I started quilting in the mid-90s, it seems like everybody pre-washed fabric for all the reasons you give - chemicals/dirt/excess dye in the fabric/uneven shrinkage. I still prewash and some fellow quilters think I’m nuts. Most of my quilts go to a children’s hospital or to friends and family. I also wash those finished quilts before I gift them so I can tell the recipient that a) they are clean and b) they are washable. For both the before and after washes I do a warm wash, gentle cycle, using unscented laundry soap, and a low heat dry without any dryer sheets. Once I tried washing a jelly roll divided into many lingerie bags. That was a disaster! Layer cakes make it through a gentle wash cycle without much more tangling than fat quarters. They end up being about 9 1/2” x 9 3/4” when pressed. Imagine that shrinkage happening in a finished quilt. Again, thank you for the good words for us pre-washers.

I prefer to wash fabric prior to cutting. However, when im working with precuts, the shrinkage and fraying are problematic. Eapecially if I've ordered fabric online and it's not available locally, i dont want to not have enough for my project. So i prewash any fabrics over a yard in length, but when working with small precuts, i make the quilt and then wash it with colorguard. Not ideal but saves the work of trying to have enough fabric and reshaping all those little precuts.🤷♀️

When my eyes water and I get sneezing fits upon entering fabric stores I realized there was something in the fabrics causing this reaction. I have washed my fabrics for many years. I have a collection of lingerie bags and put 2 or 3 FQs in each for washing and get very little amounts of fraying. Luckily I can adjust my top-loader to a gentle/hand wash cycle and that helps too. I dry fabrics with a couple of dry towels and remove the fabric when it's just dry. Works for me!

You convinced me a while ago to wash my fabric and my quilting (applique & piecing) has improved because of it. Also, because I'm prone to eczema, I find fewer breakouts from all the chemicals that would otherwise be in the fabric off the bolt. I've also noticed that it gives me more latitude in washing parts of the quilt as I go along. I do this most when I'm QAYG appliqueing. Knowing the fabric won't shrink anymore makes this easy. It's an unorthodox practice, I know, to wash parts of the quilt before it is put together, but when I need to do it, I'm always grateful that I can and won't ruin my hard work.

@ last Christmas I decided that, instead of buying gifts, I cooked South African rice dishes which has to be finished in the oven, froze it in tin foil containers and on Christmas morning wrapped it in cellophane then Christmas wrapping like a bouquet. Took a long time, and as I was cooking for 10 families, was quite stressful. I’m going to do the same gifting this year. I’m going to buy Christmas dish towels and tie them like this. Don’t know why I never thought of this because, as a 68 year old woman, I saw my mum doing this when I was a child. Not only did it look good, it kept the two plates firmly and secure over the food. Thank you for bringing back great memories.

You have some good tips but overall the aesthetic is weak in regard to the finished product. Placing random sequins on the ball whilst allowing the styrofoam to peek through looks amateur. It does not make a beautiful Christmas ornament.

Yes, that is all true and good on you for recognizing how you can use make yours more professional looking! Sure, close the gaps between sequins and plan color placement to suit your look. Or, you can have fun making sparkly balls that that may not be perfect but look fine from a distance 🎄🎄🎄🎄. The most fun I've had making these was during the pandemic when I got together with friends outside on the deck once a week for several weeks. We made them for party favors and none would have passed for professional ornaments, but the few I ended up with bring back happy memories.
