Thank you so much for your encouraging words and for watching! Happy creating, Julia

[@dahlieanamoktar7120]

Owh... Julia, you're making me crazy with this technique I'm loving it 😍😍😍

[@Mickey28252]

You have made me addicted to fabric collaging. Pulling out all those bits & pieces I have save for one day projects. I find it relaxing just sewing over the fabric & trims etc.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Geraldine, I find fabric collaging addictive and relaxing too!! So glad you enjoyed the video, happy sewing! Julia

[@rociogalvezgonzalez6513]

Ohhhh me tienes loca, te quiero, gracias por enseñar estas cosas, aquí estoy con millones de cosas que ya se su destino 😍😍😍😍😍

[@jacquiwilmot9602]

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

What a great idea and creations. Just so creative and talented. Love tut techniques and style.

[@ritawhitney210]

OMG. This amazing I Love this.

[@ritawhitney210]

To me this is fun sewing. Mindless playing. I have used your free motion techniques and it relaxes the fear of doing free motion. And using all the decorative stitches our machine has given us.

[@phyllischaluisant4902]

Julia, I love your videos, your tone of voice, your instruction. I have done some of this, but you make it look so easy. I must get back to it. Thank you.

[@reecebuttercup]

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Most of my tips are from past experiences. I have burnt my thread in the past Ugh!

[@bnyzhny]

Another WONderful tute! Thank you.

[@reecebuttercup]

So beautiful..i want to do that later this summer on one of my dresses or jackets. .thank you so much for your wonderful videos. They are so nicely made and fun. By the way love love love the cuff and paper towel roll. Never would of thought.

[@georgegoertzen4723]

As a 'foundation' for your bracelets/cuffs - use the plastic from pop bottles or yogurt containers - they can get wet from sweat or rain??? Will stand up to more wear that the cardboard. I love this idea - so glad I happened on to your video! I wonder even if covering it with the plastic of Pepsi bottles - they are smooth - and finishing the edge with a paracord weave - oooow - I have had such a shot of inspiration from you! Thank you for posting!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thanks for your ideas and for watching! Julia

[@bridgeth5643]

i knew the accent before you mentioned it. Miss it so. I am from MN. Now live in Ohio. thx for this. So enjoyed it !!

[@playhooky]

me too - I'm from Iowa and now IL, and my favorite accents have always been MN & Canadian! (I don't understand why people like southern accents at all; I don't mean to be mean at all but to me, a southern accent gives me the impression/feeling the person is not very intelligent - I know it's not true and have no idea why I get that feeling it just pops into my mind -apologies to all southerners.)

[@joyryan5945]

This is so much fun!!!! Thanks for sharing this great tutorial. You do beautiful work....very inspiring.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

+Joy Ryan Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! Hope you have a chance to try it. Julia

[@shirley1413]

Thank you for sharing such creative ideas, and showing us in a way that is easy to understand. I have been looking for some quilt art techniques to get me inspired to jump into this area of fabric art. I am watching your video’s, and happily planning some fun projects for the Winter. Happy Winter!!!!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Shirley, I love experimenting with fabric art. It is very forgiving, if you mess up you can always it up or get the seam ripper out. LOL. Thanks for watching, Julia

[@juliecook1550]

I love your work. I’m in St.paul and it’s a very hard winter and this will help me be happy on our blizzard coming Saturday

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Julie, My husband and I have escaped the MN winter this year and are spending it in FL. I am listening the weather back home and can't believe all the cold and snow! We will be heading back in 3 week. I do love and miss MN. My son and daughter-in-law live in St. Paul:)

[@BlueEyesBrittany]

[@pixiebmm]

Oh my! Such inspiring ideas. Thank you for sharing!

[@celinebarberio9070]

FANTASTIC tutorial, thank you so much for sharing your very inspiring technique with us. I so want to make my Art Journal cover this way now. I have loads of Soutache braids and laces I can use. I can also picture a really nice Boho style cuff bracelet done using this technique. I love your end results so much in all the colors shared.

[@tammybenicewicz7538]

I am so in love with your art I never thought to do what you do to fabric and it is pure art. I am very new to sewing and i want to learn and do what you do with fabric i do not like quilting i just don't like all that business but your art is beautiful and can be used so many ways. Keep up on theses videos i love to watch you create!!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Tammy, Thank you so much for your kind comment. I have never gotten the traditional quilting bug either, but I do love the organic look of free motion stitching. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Have a great week. Julia

[@JacqsieRae]

hi...I'm from Wisconsin,so I know the winter feelings...lol. I myself use sulky and been experiencing with different projects.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Susan, Sulky is so fun! So many ideas and so little time! Julia

[@jillcockerell2564]

Hello, I love this video and these techniques are something I plan to explore. I loved the pendants you made. Have you done a video on them and the foiling around the outside? Thank you

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Jill, I did a soldering technique around the edges of this pendant. Honestly, I'm really bad at it! It takes the right equipment and lots of practice.

[@fatimadiciero8469]

Maravilhoso!!!!!!

[@CreativelyAmy2015]

Wonderful video so inspiring thank you :)

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! So glad you enjoyed the video-Julia

[@lilybloodnut3260]

Sadly I couldn't watch all of your machining as I think there was a fan on which threw a flashing reflection over it, (not a moaner but I'm epileptic) The rest of it tho was wonderful......I love your work, have seen other clips and it's all so inspiring I do similar stuff with paper, my real love is knitting but I love all textiles

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I'm so sorry about the glare. This was one of my first video. I'm not very techie but my video quality has improved some. Thanks for watching, Julia

[@lilybloodnut3260]

@@stitchesbyjulia Ahh No worries, Julia, thank you so much for your reply......it certainly won't stop me watching (already have a bunch of your clips on my Watch Later list) I'm also not great with technology so.....just keep up the good work KZbin is better than Netflix for me right now xx

[@chriscaine7689]

I am in the UK, Ive never heard of heat n bond till now. But on looking on the web there seems to be several thicknesses, what one are you using please? I am a total beginner. Many thanks for a very inspiring tut

[@AvionOrr]

Impressive work

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thanks for watching and your kind words! Julia

[@22222murray]

Would you have the full details of this video available? Fun to see. Thanks

[@elvirawucherpfennig8580]

🤩👍

[@vickiecopeland7131]

Is this Sulky Brand sticky? i have watched other videos & yours looks different. I think I like it better.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Vickie, It is not sticky. I have seen the sticky product also but have never used it. I do have to pin in place until I secure it with some sewing. Thanks for watching! Julia

[@michellejoywecksler]

Really enjoyed the video, the projects you created and all of the color!!! One quick question - when you sew with all of the gorgeous variegated threads, what type of thread do you have in your bobbin? Thanks so much!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Michelle, I do use bobbin thread. I get mine at JoAnns. It is a bit thinner than other thread and strong. So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@michellejoywecksler]

Thanks for getting back to me! Can't wait to try this! :)

[@whitewaterwoman]

For the glass pendants, did you just use single strength glass or is there a glass made specifically for pendant use?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I use a single glass. It is 2.1mm thick (2 pieces together are 3/16 inch thick). There are several Etsy stores that sell the glass. I use a 3/8 Inch Copper Foil Tape to wrap around the piece. The fabric is sandwiched in between. Thanks for watching. Julia

[@janepetersen8937]

Where do you get the copper jewelry frames?

[@lailabh1364]

Great. Please send me more vedio

[@juliecook1550]

Oh good. I’m glad your waiting 3 weeks.

[@sharoncline1937]

What do you use them for.

[@khalidahamad5309]

Thanks so much , from where you buy the threads pls

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I use multi colored threads by Sulky. Many of the fibers used are items I pick up at 2nd hand stores. Thanks so much for watching. Julia
