i am learning how to needle turn and hand applique. My first one was ok. But after watching your video I tried a sample using your instructions. It turned out beautiful. I am so thrilled. I am going to redo my first one using your instructions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

You can draw over them with permanent ( alcohol based) markers also because those type of markers don't wash out or bleed

Great job with your video!! I sew everything but I have no knitting experience. Now I can mend my favorite sweater dress that I've been saving for years. You also explained how to create designs within a sweater. I bought the perfect blush color of Juicy Couture yarn that I wanted to use for a beautiful baby blanket or outfit. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.💞

Guy here. When I was a kid in the 70's I remember how my grandmamma use to darn my socks. I was always so amazed. When I was six years old my next door neighbour she was twelve and she taught me to knit back then. (Just a little.) Though I lost that ability soon after. I have a few pairs of socks that need some tender loving care. I just need to find out how to throw this laziness into the garbage, so I do not need to purchase more socks hehe. Wonderful instructional video. I know it is not that difficult, it just needs a bit of time and some patience.

This is the best needle tutorial I've found on KZbin (and I've watched a ton of them!). I'm an experienced beginner now, and here's what I've learned: 1). She's absolutely right: trim to an 1/8 of an inch. Other tutorials have said 1/4" , but any more than an 1/8 makes curves too hard to turn under. Take your time trimming. Good prep = better results 2). Use a size 11 needle (milliner's needle!). I've bought and tried many different sized needles. You definitely want something thin and easy to push and pull! I'm currently using Bohn 11s but have John James Milliners Straw Needles (11) coming from Amazon. My man fingers could use something a little longer. 3). My thread of choice is YLI silk thread (200 meters per spool). Yes, it's more expensive than regular thread, but it is strong and thin! It hides itself easily! I haven't had any problems with knotting, and I cut my initial thread at about 16-18 inches. 4). I thought snipping to the line on curves was insane, but thrust me, when doing inner curves, it makes turning on your drawn line so much easier. If you don't snip to the line on an inner curve, the fabric won't turn on the line. 5). Baste your applique patch rather than pin it. Yes, it take more time, but thread gets caught in pins very easily. I am so glad I basted!! 6). Unless your an eagle, by a pair of readers. I'm using a 4x pair! 7). Be patient with yourself. Get over the idea of doing something quickly and practice mindfulness (being present to the moment). Needle turning is not something that can be rushed. It's why we work by hand anyway, right? 8). Do a sample piece before you try needle turning your actual project. It's worth the time to get the feel of the process. 9). Happiness is a needle turn curve on your actual line!!!! It's almost better than ice cream! Thanks for your tutorial. It gave me the clearest idea of how to proceed!

@patinabents67634 ай бұрын
This tutorial is just amazing! I think using some quick basting stitches could be a good alternative for the big pins in the middle. Your thread doesn't get caught and you can't accidentally prick yourself no matter how you hold/turn your work.

Hi. I hope you see this comment on your old video. I'm wondering why you don't just weave from one side to the other. Is it just so it's interesting to do or does it serve a purpose in the actual darning? I've been darning my socks for many years, since the first ones I knitted first started getting holes. I've never done it your way but I'm open to education if it makes a better mend. And if it's just to keep it interesting, that's a good reason too! Thanks!

Your video was really helpful with the curves. I want to add applique to a denim jacket. Do you think this type of applique would hold up well? Also, I was considering adding batting behind my applique to add some dimension. Is this possible? Haven't seen any videos talk about it.

I have been given quite a large bag of walnuts shells (hulls) . What can I expect when dying white wool . Thanks for the post cheers Pat nz. Ps what about walnut leaves plz????
@stuartmoorestextiles7 ай бұрын
Hi, Pat! Depending on how old the hills are you should expect a light to dark brown (fresher walnut hulls = darker colors). I have not dyed with walnut tree leaves but you should get yellow. Enjoy your dyeing and feel free to let me know how you go! 😊🌱

Thank you so much for these clear instructions. I learned to applique in the dark ages, basting every piece before appliquing. I have been afraid of trying needle turn. Does your left thumb not hurt. I’m pumped to try it

Thanks for replying. My eyes are a bit dodgy so I wasn’t sure if it was me 😂 I’m experimenting with making short instructional videos and it is not as easy as it looks. For me it’s like patting my head and circling my belly (if you know what I mean?!). I loved your singing bowl trick too ❤
