Autumn Stained Glass Lighted Glass Block Project, Machine Embroidery Designs by Embroidery Library

[@JillRobbins-t1x]

Thank you!! Just did my first glass block today with EL design, wreath with sleigh bells. You were awesome, I learned a lot! Love the transferable way to display other designs too!

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome! Great job on your first glass block! I know you are going to be making a lot more, as it's so much fun to do. ☺

[@ckim5134]

Great video. I am glad I watched it before I started my project which will be the hummingbird scene since it is spring. I already bought it so it will have to be shrunk down 10%.

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you! Oh that hummingbird scene will be really pretty! Yes, shrink it down, if you can, to about 6.9". Then it will fit nicely on the glass block, with a nice little glass frame effect around the edges. ☺

[@rachelmyers7104]

I just found you!! I have the same machine! Found out I bought mine from a place that is not legit brother dealer. So, I never got classes!!! I thought brother would step up when I talked with them, but rep said they couldn’t help me. I’ll be watching more of your videos. Thank you again.

[@jollymollytv]

Welcome! I am sorry about not getting classes on the Dream Machine, but I think that I can help. I have a lot of projects planned that will help you learn as you make the projects, and was also thinking about doing some tutorials on the Dream itself, so stayed tuned.

[@rachelmyers7104]

Thank you so so much! 🙌

[@karleneleseman8618]

Thank you so much for making this video! I have learned so much! I am glad I was able to watch you do every step before I tried on my own! I believe I will be able to accomplish this project, but I have to get all the right materials! And I didn't know that there was a mesh/fabric water-soluble stabilizer. This will be key! I want to make many of these! Very fun! and glad you tried the multi-color lights!

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome, I'm so glad I could help! You can do it! Just get your supplies, then watch the video again, and follow along with each step, pausing the video as you go. I create my videos this way, showing every step, so you can have me there with you as you make it. You got this! 😊

[@karleneleseman8618]

I did this! For my first one, not perfect but the design I chose didn't fit my hoop so I resized it, I think this made for the one mistake. I need to figure out how to multi hoop or resize properly so it transfers properly. I was able to fill in the missing spots free hand. :) But so pleased with how this turned out! And you to thank! Love this! @@jollymollytv

[@jollymollytv]

@@karleneleseman8618 Yay!!! You did great!! It doesn't have to be perfect, done is better than perfect, lol. Sometimes during the resizing, depending on the program, it won't do it correctly. So that may be what happened. If I resize on my machine, I have better luck, than if I do it in an embroidery software, but it all depends on if your machine is capable of resizing on it's own. I am so proud of you, you did a great job!! 😀

Lovely designs, good method too. Thanks for taking the time to give us this video.

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome! I'm glad I was able to help and I truly appreciate you watching the video too. 😊

[@reginarooks7427]

Loved this video. I have shared it will everyone. Made one mistake, I said to watch this on Molly Jolly😶

[@jollymollytv]

Oops, lol. Thank you so much! I think they might still find it if you shared the link. I truly appreciate you sharing it, thank you! 😊

[@sherylp.9570]

I'm extremely interested in how this project works. I will probably have to finish watching the video tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your process. 💕

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome! It's a fun project to do, and very pretty when it's finished.

[@lindahazziez5608]

Excellent video!!

@@lindahazziez5608 Thank you so much! 😊

[@donnad8142]

If water-soluble stabilizer is not tall enough may work if turned 12" for width and use length of roll cut for height of hoop.

[@jollymollytv]

Yes, that works as well. 😊

[@sno_dash9817]

I love details… Thank you

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome, glad I could help. 😊

[@monaclayton2746]

Great instructions! They are so pretty! Thank you for making this video, it going to help a lot.

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome! I am so happy that I could help you make this amazing project :-)

[@2847Katie]

Couldn't you use curved embroidery scissors for the last part? And can you use a fine mist from a spray bottle in sections?

[@jollymollytv]

Hi! Yes, curved embroidery scissors would work great for the last part, and yes, use a misting spray bottle! I used one in my second stained glass video, the one where I made Christmas blocks. 😊

[@LisaHull-qh2zc]

Is the 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer on top or under the organza when hooped???

[@jollymollytv]

Hi, The 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer are on the bottom, then put the organza on top of them, then hoop. That way the stitching is on top of the organza as you are stitching. 🙂

[@lovedogs5529]

This is probably the best video of discribbing how to make these. The ending project turned out beautiful. Thank You! What size needle do you use?

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you so much! I just used a regular embroidery needle, 75/11. I also slowed my machine down a bit, I never run mine at top speed, this saves a lot of thread breakage.

[@lovedogs5529]

@@jollymollytv Thank You so much for your quick reply. You're the best and look forward to any of your tutorials.🥰🥰

[@jollymollytv]

@@lovedogs5529 Awe, thank you so much!

[@janinewuerz7831]

Could you hang this in a window that would be seen on both sides?

[@jollymollytv]

Yes! Use the organza and the water soluble stabilzer like I show in this video and you can totally hang this in front of a window or inside of a window, like a double paned window, and the light can shine thru on both sides. 😊

[@janinewuerz7831]

@@jollymollytv ❤️thanks that will be beautiful

[@patriciahomer5342]

Maybe I missed it. Did you say which size design you used and what size is your block?

[@jollymollytv]

Hi, I used the 7.5" glass block and the 6.9" embroidery design. 😊

[@patriciahomer5342]

@jollymollytv thank you! I haven't tried 1 yet. Hopefully this week.

[@mefg55]

Did I miss what size and type of needle you used (sharp or embroidery?)

[@jollymollytv]

I used a regular 75/11 embroidery needle. 😊

[@LindaChristensen-n3o]

When do you put the other side of velcro dot on

[@jollymollytv]

Hello, You have 2 separate sheets of dots, one clear and one with the loops on it. Put both sheets together, matching the circles together which connects the velcro together. Then when you peel the dots off, you are taking the set off together. Then you put the clear side down on the glass block. Then you add glue to the dot. The sets are still connected together, does that help?

[@stampingqueen73]

Instead of going to the sink, could u use a spray bottle to get ot wet

[@jollymollytv]

Yes, you could totally do that, that is a good idea!

[@beverlyvannortwick845]

What size needle do you use?

[@jollymollytv]

Hi, I use a regular 75/11 embroidery needle. 😊

[@susankarandy3299]

Your video is great. Thanks. I made the Christmas stained glass design by Emblibrary. I used OESD Aqua Mesh Wash Away and followed your video. I'm not sure this stabilizer works well. I looked at the Kimber and they have wash away and then they have wash away sticky back. It looks from the video that you used Wash Away (without sticky back). Is that true? I'd like to order the Kimber but want to make sure I am getting the correct one. Thanks for your help.

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you! Yes, you only need a wash away stabilizer, not a sticky back. Mygirlsfriendsquiltshoppe has the large size in stock right now, the 20" long roll, looks like they are out of the 12" roll. Here is the link to the 20", so you can see which one it is. mygirlfriendsquiltshoppe.com/products/kimberbell-wash-away-20in-x-10yd?_pos=9&_sid=19a0d9086&_ss=r You can use any brand of wash away stabilizer, just make sure it's a woven one, not a clear. You need the woven to help in the stitching out process, to keep the design from moving, shifting, or puckering. If you are making the large blocks, then this 20" roll will work, for an 8" hoop or 8 x 12" hoop. Hope this helps!

[@Nora-j2z7g]

Couldn't you use a spray bottle

[@jollymollytv]

Yes, you sure can! In fact, in my Christmas video here, I use a spray bottle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH7Vi2aDadGAd9U

[@lovedogs5529]

I purchased the Embroidery Design of the Snowflake on the glass block. Do you have any ideas of how to do this design since it is not a square?

[@jollymollytv]

Hi! Is it the round stained glass snowflake with the black satin edge border? If so, you can trim right up close to the black satin stitch edging, making the complete circle, then put the velcro dots around the circle edge. If it's a different design that doesn't have the satin stitch edging, you could allow 1/2" bigger than the 6.87" approx inside of the glass block, use pinking shears on the edges, then roll each edge under 2 times and stitch the edges. Hope this helps!

[@vickibrumby3337]

Thank you for making this and sharing! The finished light looks fabulous! We don't hacve Hobby Lobby here in Australia so I'm not sure where to access the block, but will keep looking. You could also use a battery operated candle to light it up??

[@jollymollytv]

You are so welcome! Do you have a Michaels? Or Menards? Just make sure it has an opening at the bottom. Yes, you could totally use a battery operated candle to light it up, great idea!

[@vickibrumby3337]

No, we only have Spotlight here in Tasmania, though there are a few different ones in mainland Australia.

[@AnnHay-gh4gb]

Do you have Lowe's or Home Depot? They carry the blocks also.

[@sharonkesner4644]

Love your video, very informative. Can you please tell me what is the name of the music that was playing at the 58 minute mark. It was something I would like to have. Thank you very much.

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you very much! Let me check on that song for you. It's on an archived drive, so let me find it and my editing software can tell me the name of the song and the artist. I will get back to you soon.

[@melodiedegarmo9330]

Instruction is great but this could be shortened a lot. Watching it stitch out step-by-step to music is not necessary. Other than the repetition very useful.

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@janinewuerz7831]

I love the music

[@kamason1217]

Great video but really would have liked to see it sitting on a table or mantle, not laying on white board.

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@MystiMidnight]

I’m wondering if seeing it on a table would affect the integrity of the design since there is one on the back. Also I agree, this video’s dialogue is much too slow and long. I just hit button in different places to catch some of it. Thank you.

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you for your feedback. I am working on the next video in this series, on stained glass blocks, and I will show it sitting on a table with a design on each side so you can see what it looks like. I do try to show every step, so that even beginners can do these projects, just fast forward to the parts you need help in. :-)

Embroidery Library stained glass tutorial’s

[@jollymollytv]

Yes, this is my tutorial on how to make the Stained Glass Lighted Block Project using the embroidery designs by Embroidery Library. I hope this helps you make these amazing lighted blocks.

[@barbaradumler6503]

Couldn't you just use the glue to tack down the corners??? One less step.

[@jollymollytv]

Yes you can! I use the velcro so that I can take the design off of the glass block, stitch out a new design for say spring, and attach that new design to the same glass block. This way I won't need multiples of the glass block.

[@debhancock4564]

much to chatty, stick to the instructions without all the extraneous dialogue

[@jollymollytv]

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent learning material, but way too much explaining and re-explaining. This makes it way too long to watch. Sorry, just being truthful. Maybe this will help you, I hope so.
