Your video is a life saver. I thought my machine was broken and i havent even used it yet. In the video instructions from Sewing Studios, it does not instruct you to turn the needle wheel until it locks so that it can self thread. Thank you so much ❤

This has got to be the most DIY fountain I've ever seen! Great job!

You said in another video that you need to use a different thread type for the wave stitch than the normal serger thread. What type of thread do you recommend ?
@NancyFalla Ай бұрын
Thank you! Exactly the video I needed to get started with my Acclaim that I received yesterday!
@JackieDannenberg Ай бұрын
They said when you do the wave sewing, you can’t use regular serger thread and of course they didn’t tell what threads TO use. Can you enlighten us on this please ? Thank you ! Great video. I’m getting my Acclaim on Friday. I’m very excited ! Thanks again !

So is this fool proof for not losing strands when you pull on them? I would like to put poms on baby hats but I’m not convinced that a baby couldn’t pull strands out.

@MakeItPlace 5 ай бұрын
Great question - it is definitely not a flat surface. This countertop wasn't the main countertop, or even countertop in that kitchen (I have since moved to a new State). It was the countertop in the Butler's Pantry so it wasn't used on a daily basis, or even often. It mostly came into use as a buffet table, so to speak, when we entertained. It was a great place to set up a food and/or drink station. This definitely isn't something I'd recommend doing to a daily-use countertop. But it works fabulously well for a countertop that isn't part of everyday use!

I agree with you 100%! Crafting has always been my sanctuary from everything crazy that life throws my way. I recently retired and was hit almost immediately with a life altering medical condition. I became suddenly and keenly aware of how short life really is. I decided it was time to finally treat myself to craft things I’ve wanted forever but for some reason didn’t think I deserved (?). So over the past year, I purchased embroidery, straight stitch, serger, and quilting long arm machines, plus new knitting, crocheting, and cross stitch tools. I still do a lot of charity donations of my craft projects, but these new tools make it easier and much more enjoyable! Thank you for your channel! I hope you’re doing well!

Thank you so much Wendy! That means a lot to me. I still struggled a lot since I recorded that video. In fact, my husband and I decided to make a BIG move from Chicago, IL to Huntsville, AR. It was an excellent decision, we live in the woods now, surrounded by nature which helps. Unfortunately things started to spiral again with a boatload of work issues SO, after 30 years in Corporate America I am fully embracing everything I talk about in this video and I'm opening my own shop! Day after tomorrow actually, July 13th. the Make It Place, LLC shop will be open in Huntsville, AR along with an eComm component. The biz that was already in there was a consignment store which I'll keep to see how that goes. But I'm adding "Made in Arkansas" handmade/homemade art & crafts - there are amazing people locally just in the county where I live, who dye their own yarn, make incredible paper crafts, ALL types of jewelry I had never thought of, a glass blower, multiple woodworkers... I hope to become a destination for finding things from local crafters and artisans (while making things myself of course!). Anyhow, thank you for your note - it's ALWAYS nice to know you're not alone...

Hint: Instead of duct tape you can buy (very cheaply) the very small Hose Clamps, where you tighten the small screw and it tights the clamp around the tubing....like $1.78 or so for 10 of them.

This is similar to what I had in mind only I have a much bigger planter so I'm using a 20" planter saucer as a birdbath. It sits on top of a 5 gallon bucket I put inside the pot that will be the water reservoir and provide space around the edges to plant some trailing plants. Like the way you camouflaged the hose. So much easier than drilling through several l rocks.

Thanks! I'd LOVE to see how it turned or turns out!! When I did that video I was just sick of saying "one day I'll do that" and decided to just work with what I already had and make it happen. It was a wonderful addition to the patio. I recently bought a new and bigger pump to also make a bigger fountain :)

@@MakeItPlace Here's mine. Yours looks better but I will keep fussing with the rocks and maybe some moss. Except for the pump, planter saucer, and a few parts, I already had everything so it wasn't too expensive though a planter that size is pretty Pricy if you had to buy one. shorts/Rdz_2DVH5NQ

Ironically I did leave... and it stayed with my beloved old 129 year old Victorian house in Chicagoland. I like to think of it as a little piece of myself that will inspire creativity in those who live in that beautiful home now and in the future. I still have leftover tiles that I want to incorporate into another mosaic project in the new house in the country :)

i have the same style of pump. used an old disk humming bird feeder(the bottom clear part). i needed another smaller hose to insert through the center of tray. placed the red feeder part (where the hummingbirds feed) off a typical feeder, made a nickle size hole and set on top of other piece. setting this on a bucket and some pebbles from dollar tree. the pebbles inside of the top red feeder helps to create little waterfalls out of the feeding spouts. i wanna make more.
