You guys said you wanted a string organization video but that alone sounded boring so I went to Insta and the community tab here on KZbin and asked you guys if you had any questions - you didn't disappoint!

Yay! I just conveniently happen to be awake at 3am to watch this video!

[@aprilrex1622]

Megan please I meant this as a joke, dont take offence. I love your content

[@ohmygamers7453]

Hey Meg! First of all I love your nails I couldn’t stop looking at them! I also wanted to mention that I have the same problem with those plastic bobbins. Something I do to prevent the string unraveling in a bag is I take old rainbow loom bands and secure the string that way. Hopefully that helps :)

[@marysbracelets7328]

I have these strings too 7:08 they work really well and it comes with a really cheap and good price ❤️

[@zayleighbrickey9205]

I do too

[@taylorcolonna457]

Basically, it's called KZbin. The operative word being YOU. Funny how we get so confused by what to do? I love your videos Meg. Even if your just winding string. Much love.. #LiveLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt ☮♥️😊☯️

[@LeafTheEph]

I would love a review video/comparison of different brands!

[@bleh451]

Yay I was waiting for this

[@braceletsbysophie117]

I just got that same amazon string and its great like better than DMC!! also personal opinion here but i think DMC is a bit overrated.

[@MegMakesCrafts]

DMC is great mostly because of its colour options and variation of finishes which makes it great for its intended purpose- embroidery- but not as much so for knotting 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@braceletsbysophie117]

@@MegMakesCrafts yes i agree not saying i don't use DMC yes i love the color choices but i definitely agree that it is not really good for knotting

[@superfandomqueen4808]

I’ve watched *The Witcher* and *The Umbrella Academy*, they are SO good. I love them so much. I listen to audiobooks and watch shows usually when I’m knotting. I’ve been listening to *The Keys To The Kingdom* series. I’ve read *The Six of Crows*, *Harry Potter*, and *The Heroes of Olympus* series as well.

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I haven't read The Keys to The Kingdom series, who is it by?

[@superfandomqueen4808]

@@MegMakesCrafts The Keys To The Kingdom is by Garth Nix, it’s really interesting. The world is quite complicated with how it’s built. There is seven books. I’m listening to the audiobooks on Libby.

[@kraftkrazy]

OMG love this! I am such a fan of YA fantasy!! I love talking about it! I am reading the Throne of Glass Series right now. It's great! I also have some work of my own. I am currently working on a little story right now as well. Anyways, great video! Happy knotting! 😊

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Kraft Krazy I used to write too! I miss it so much! Maybe one day when my daughter is more self-sufficient I’ll be able to do it again.

[@jaegon9594]

It may seem boring to you, but I love watching organizing videos like this lol. I was wondering how long those bobbins took to come from wish? Also I love your nails there super pretty.

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I ordered them at the same time as my string so like 4 months 😐 and thank you it’s some sally hansen hard as nails I picked up at dollarama 😄

[@naomifeng8000]

l am the same as you! l do pretty much every craft!

[@allyvallee95]

There’s two versions of J&P coats quality. The more matte floss is sold in packs for like $8 at Walmart. I find that they are also thinner to work with compared to dmc, prism, etc. The shiny floss you are talking about is the better quality one. If you notice, your J&P coats have a number like dmc do. So you can easily purchase that color online for 45 cents. Whereas the matte ones don’t. It’s just a basic color pack. I own both cheap & shinny but prefer the shinny version. Except I can only buy them online. I don’t use the matte ones because of the quality.

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Ally Valle where do you buy yours online? 🤔 I haven’t seen any official looking sites but would definitely be interested in getting more of it!

[@allyvallee95]

Megan Morris everything cross stitch. Com is the only place I’ve found them. But I think there’s like less than 100 colors so I don’t know if thats the only color range they have or the website only carries those.

[@limitless7051]

you are the best

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Thank-you! You are amazing too! :)

[@simplyknotted1105]

i just love your channel so so so much

[@lizzybizzy3017]

I have that same pack of thread, I really like it. From Amazon though.

[@sabrinaa1984]

I organize them like if you were to make a pom pom

[@themeltedchocolate]

How long did it take for bobbins from wish to arrive? I've been getting mine from aliexpress but aliexpress takes literally two months to arrive now haha. I personally love watching string organization videos, especially when people talk about different brands etc. That wish brand is like the default chinese brand haha I get it from aliexpress all the time but it's on wish, amazon, ebay, everywhere too cause it's very cheap. Masha knots buys it from amazon under the name Plieay. I don't think it has an actual name, it's just The Chinese Brand™ :D I'd definitely be interested in a string review series!

[@MegMakesCrafts]

4 months 😐 I ordered them in May and didn’t get them until the end of August/ start of September. I ordered them at the same time as my string lol

[@sophiesbracelets9749]

I’m in grade 5 and I’m 10 and I just started.

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I hope you love it as much as I do! It’s been a great source of creativity and relaxation for me ever since then.

[@nicole_silvers]

I have some J&P Coates that is matte and some that looks like the DMC string. But what's weird is that all the ones I have that are matte, all came in an embroidery set like the ones that include the wooden ring and everything you need. Idk what's up with that lol!

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Interesting indeed 🤔 I tried to do some digging into the company more but couldn’t find much on their hand embroidery floss in particular. Makes me more curious 🧐

[@nicole_silvers]

@@MegMakesCrafts Right! And I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, but the ones I got in that set are pretty old. My mom had gotten the embroidery set and never used it so she ended up giving me the embroidery string that came with it. I'm not even sure where she got it! It's been so long that she doesn't remember lol

[@eyebrowsatan5481]

You mentioned in this video that you also embroider, have you ever tried embroidering on a bracelet?

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Not yet, but I was thinking of maybe trying for a knotting dangerously or something 🤔

[@sandraa206]

4:12 Karen cake?

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Caron cake! It’s a line of yarn that Caron brand makes.
