Im scared to get Temu as Aliexpress already floods my phonewith messages and/alerts 😄🤣😆 I dont think theres things wrong with supplies from those place because over half the time when you get atuff off amazon, they have bought that atock off those places. I do love an estate sale though. The quality if frames from back in the day are such a treat to score Amazing video as always❤❤❤❤
@Ailarra91827 күн бұрын
I seriously need to go thrifting at some point for frames! Can confirm Temu is...assertive...with their marketing 😅. But honestly I don't mind ignoring marketing from anywhere until I'm ready to utilize specials lol. You can absolutely go into your account settings to tone them down, at least with Temu! Thank you for voicing the understanding of my using over seas suppliers! I'd rather buy direct than pay 3x (or more!) the amount for the exact same thing from a reseller!!

Hi Ailarra! Thank you for the review of the Temu supplies. I haven't tried them yet but have been happy with the cross stitch stuff from Ali Express. I miss your floss tubes so come back as soon as you can and film an update but no pressure. I am sick yet again with mucus and cough but have an appointment for an ENT specialist on the 4th so hopefully will get some answers. Take care my friend. Dawn in Texas
@Ailarra91827 күн бұрын
Hi Dawn! I'm so sorry you're still so sick! (Hopefully a little better since you commented). I'm honestly not sure when a regular update will go up. Maybe a wip parade this month. I've had some personal issues crop up that have really affected my ability to mentally handle an update for now, but it's good to know people are still wanting them! 🥰💙🦄

I just found your channel and I really appreciate the reviews you did on Temu. I have purchased some things from them and mostly have been pleased with what it was especially for the price. I haven't tried the nurge hoop type which is the square hoop that you showed. I will be trying that because it's a better price than amazon. I look forward to your next videos and if you get any more stuff from Temu I'd love to hear your opinion

I have only ordered once from this company and was pleased with my order. I wanted to make needle minders so I ordered some broaches and pendants to deconstruct and glue magnets to. While some didn’t work as well as I wanted, the quality of the items were nice. I now have some really sweet minders.

I haven’t heard the wrong side/right side about needles but that makes so much sense! Dumb question maybe, but how can you tell?
@Ailarra918Ай бұрын
Not dumb at all! As far as I can tell so far, it's just in the ease in which the thread goes through the eye. If it doesn't go through in the first couple of tries, I flip the needle over, and it usually goes right through then! Edit: After I stitch with the needle for a while, there's usually a slight bend in it, and I can tell which side is which at that point! I don't know of this is true for everyone, but it makes threading quicker for me at least 😆

I know that there is a negative stigma about ordering from sites like Temu, but for some people in the world it is the only option. Normal stitchy things come to us at 10x the price if not more and our LNSs have all closed as they cant keep up with the exchange rate and shipping costs. I an so grateful for this video as i will need to make an order soon and was concerned about some of the items.

I came just to hang out for a bit 😜☺️💜 I must say it impressed me though! I’m curious how cumbersome it is in the room? And can you lower the intensity for night time stitching yourself or is it all automatic? I don’t think I’d ever get sleepy if it was that bright at night time 😅 I may have to see if they’re available in Australia…. Have fun stitching and I look forward to the next stitchy update ✨☺️🪡💜

Sorry it took so long for a reply!! Once it was set up, it worked great! The settings are super adjustable, so I can get it really dim if I need it there. Not sure about shipping to Oz yet 🤔. I will say it's not super portable, but I haven't used any other light for stitching since I got it!

Up all your 300 count to 500 and take all your ones over 1200 down to 1200. It will probably come close to the same stitch count and that way you don’t have to slog through the whole year. Love watching you and Jenn.
