Thank you so much!

So nice to be in your own sewing space. I love your projects. I don't count a kitted as a WIP, but there really isn't much of a difference. I think that's why I just start them instead of leaving them just kitted. It's much easier to pick something up and just work on it than actually starting a project, for me at least. Your mother in law is amazingly talented. The things she made for you are great. Congrats on 2k subs!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I agree on the kitted/wips aspect! Just start them! She is so talented I am very lucky to have her! Thank you! 🖤

Ridding your stitching of hoop marks-- this is what I do. When I finish a piece (I never iron as stitching) I use trouser style hanger, the kind with clips and hang my work. Then I take that into the bathroom and hang it about 8' away from the shower. I just leave it there for a few days and through a few showers till it looks just plain wrinkled and no hoop marks. I take it OUT of the bathroom and hang it on it's own for a few days and at some point I remember to take if off and add it to the hanger that has a bunch of my completed stitches clipped on it in the closet. I have left some in the bathroom for longer depending on the piece. I've had no problem with bleeding threads but I do manage the humidity levels it's subjected to. Use the proximity of the hot shower to help loosen up the fibers, the weight of the piece does the rest of the work, usually. For stubborn ones, I have clipped a dowel to the bottom to give evenly distributed weight and pull out the wrinkles but not for long as I don't want to warp the piece. the added weight of the 4 clips with the dowel is enough. Because humidity levels are always going to be higher in the bathroom, after I take it out of the bathroom, I leave it on it's own to de-humidify I guess before adding it to the hanging stack. my plan is to iron THE STACK but I haven't gotten there yet. I also roll some up loosely but hanging them really does the heavy lifting over time making ironing a breeze in the future. Since I haven't gotten to my stack yet, I should probably hang some acid free paper between each one....hmmm... maybe I'll go order that now. Thank you for the video and hope this helps!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

So smart!!! And less labor intensive I love it!

[@cricketbug3380]

Getting projects wet is scary- some fabrics spot and threads bleed. I spray starch on the back and iron it. If it has beads I put a towel down first so they have a cushion. Happy birthday!!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

It is scary! So much more so when they are handy dyed fabrics and threads!! Thank you!

[@sabrina-thestarduststitche7624]

LOVE your Olga's Stocking! Sooo beautiful! Just subscribed to your channel!

[@RogueMamaStitcher1]

Jordan!!! Congrats on 2k subs! Glad your birthday was just right with all the goodies. You deserve it! All your Primitives are gorgeous! Look at you stitching houses. 😁 Primitives are such a vibe . Once you're into it, you're really into it. Also your satin stitches look fab. 😍 I've watched this episode every spare moment since you published it and finally finished it a few minutes ago. Love your new sewing room! Love all your WIP's, starts and plans and I love YOU! 😄🖤🧡

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thank you amberrrrrrr🖤 and your right once your into it you go 100% haha thank you!!! 🥰

[@acried]

I would probably put Alice on that Rolanda fabric

[@autumnpoland7532]

I wish fall preceded spring or summer and not winter. I HATE winter, but I love fall. Loving your sewing room ❤❤

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Agree 100000000%

[@beckipugh8124]

It was so great to see your video pop-up always enjoy seeing what you have been up to! You have such joy when showing each project, also I didn't know you were a quilter, see what you learn from watching these videos😂 Your haul was amazing, looking forward to the next video and seeing the progress. Happy Stitching! hope you get your machine back soon.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thank you Becki!! What an amazing compliment I love that! I love when others have joy in their projects so I’m so pleased to hear that’s coming through for me as well! And yes I am a novice quilter! It’s been too long since I’ve done it! 🖤🖤

[@kassiesbeach]

Happy birthday. Mine was on the 5th. I got a little stitchy haul too. Your work is beautiful.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Happy birthday!! 🖤

[@bridgetdrew7321]

Hay belated birthday girl.....and omg I see we have the same liking in books also 😁

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thank you! I wish I had physical copies of so many more! I had to downsize to just favorites when we moved

[@amotleyartwkatherine]

I don't count kitted projects as WIPs. But once I have something fully kitted it is hard for me not to start it. I think the blue fabric will make it more cutesy than spooky Halloween. Beautiful stitching.

[@grandmaB1948]

Happy September birthday. Mine is Sept. 10. I'll be 75, so I'm a bit older then you! I am almost finished stitching Hello Halloween. I started by stitching the curved border line all the way around. When I got to the last side I discovered it was off. The problem was that I assumed the different turns of the border were the same. They aren't. The 2 lines under the border cats are 25 & 26 stitches long. The side bars are 10 & 11 stitches and the slanted bars are 6 & 7 stitches long. So I frogged the line and started again. I also recharted the border cats. I didn't change them very much, so as to keep Teresa Kogut's style. But to me they looked like munchkin cats.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Ohhh thank you for the warning!! And happy birthday to you!!! 🖤

[@BernStitches]

I love the sewing room already, and the Harry Potter illustrated books! I get them for Christmas each year. I’m so excited to see all the sampler stitching especially the one with the silk fancy flosses. Happy stitching!!! Xoxo

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thanks Bernadette! I started reading my son the first book and we are having the best time! It was a dream! 🤣🖤

[@nestofpetals]

Hi hun, new to your channel. Stitching away while I watch you share your goodies. I am also working on Halloween at Hollyberry - about 60% done and started a tiny bit on the Hollyberry Christmas one - they are so much fun. See you next time. :)

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Hi! Thank you for watching!! I am planning to start Christmas at Holly berry this year too! They are so beautiful!

[@sandiego1966]

Spray the back with water and make sure your iron is hot. It should steam out the hoop marks. I have figured out that fabric dyers are cutting their fabric before dying. I found the same sizing issue with another dyer. They should dye then cut it so it is the size it is supposed to be. My fabric was an inch smaller on both measurements.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I will try this! Thank you! And I agree it is frustrating to get less than you pay for!

[@anajaen9013]

Congratulations on your sewing room. It looks like a great space. Can you give some information on your floss containers? There are so many and yours look perfect.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Quefe 8-Tier Stackable Storage Container Box with 80 Compartments, Plastic Organizer Box for Organizing Washi Tape, Embroidery Accessories, Threads Bobbins, Kids Toy a.co/d/fWj1Eqy Hopefully that works for you! 🖤

[@MemphisSarahE]

Happy belated Bday! Olga’s stocking is gorgeous & I love your kitted projects! For those hard hoop lines I use one of those wool pads to iron on & a few spritzes of Mary Ellen’s Best Press- although I’m not 100% sure about colorfast so I don’t spritz on my fancy floss stitches. Does your mother in law have an online store because WOW obsessed! 😮😍

[@tattooed_stitcher]

She will very soon! I’m so excited for her! Wait until you see some of the things like I can’t even. I need a wool pad!! Good thinking!

[@dk5755]

I don’t count my kitted projects as wips, but I finally started my first Mirabilia after having it kitted for 3 years

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Yay!!! That’s so exciting! What did you choose?

[@CarolinaSCraftsMakeupFood]

Hello again! I am so happy to be caught up with your last few videos. I am very much enjoying them. Ooo I totally understand about the room. I am very lucky to have a home office that is also going to be my craft room which is slowly coming together and I really do think that is making difference in my stitching/crafting mojo. Happy Belated birthday! Mine is coming up Sep 29th and I can't wait! Beautiful fancy ladies- iI have not started a Bella either but have soo many I want to do! I don't count fully kitted as a WiP - only if its got stitches in it - an even then, sometimes I don't even consider it really a WiP, if I am not working on it. Like it is ready to go, to the point were I have a place to start because there are stitches in it, but haven't stitched on it since that first few stitches! Your WiPs are great, I do love seeing them! It was wonderful to visit with you and I really enjoy your channel! So glad I found you through Morgan (What's Morgan stitching?)!- I look forward to seeing you again soon!

[@CarolinaSCraftsMakeupFood]

Oh! And I don’t remember in which of the last three videos you mentioned it since I binged them 😂, but I get so frustrated to when a color is asked for and there’s like 7 stitches.. I mean what is that?especially if it’s a nicer thread! I did a bird pattern once that asked for a packet of beads- it just used ONE bead for the eye. I was very, very new and didn’t think to look over the pattern, but I was like Come ON!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Helloooo!!! Thank you for bingeing 🤣 that’s how I watch flosstube too, and happy birthday to you!!!!! I like your thoughts on even if there’s only a few stitches in it’s not really a wip if your not actively working on it! Makes sense!! And yeah suuuuper annoying about beads and threads. I’ve learned my lesson on looking the chart over that’s for sure!

[@hifromtexas3447]

congratulation, on all your finishes especially the sweet baby James

[@HyggeStitcher]

Yay! Hi Jordan ❤ I’m excited to visit with you tonight. Coffee ☑️ Stitching ☑️ let’s go!!!

[@SmallTownStitches]

Okay first of all I just love you. Your haul oh my gosh! Your craft room looks amazing!!!!! Also I may or may not have a soda stitch in my Etsy cart….. I am also not ready for winter… at all!!!!!! Congratulations on hitting 2k! You deserve it!!!!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Oh my gosh your so sweet! You should absolutely start a soda!!!! Especially when we are in depressed winter. 🥰 thank you!!!!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Ahhh hi Samantha!!!! ❤❤❤

[@hifromtexas3447]

I use a steamer to get my hard, hoop marks out. But before I got my steamer, I used one of my daughters natural sponges and laid it on a towel, got the sponge wet, squeezed it out and then just bloated it.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Good idea! Thank you!

[@JanetJabber]

Congratulations🎉🎉🎉

[@luckychancestitcher]

Congrats on 2k!!!!😍

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thank you Amanda!! 🖤

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

I noticed you have electronic versions of blackbird patterns. Did you buy them this way, or scan them into PDF form?

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I have the goodreader app, so I take pictures of my pattern and upload it into the app-convert it to a pdf and stitch from that!

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

I wish I had good reader, but I don't. I've tried other programs, but they just don't work well. But, it could be user error! LOL!🤣🤣🤣 @@tattooed_stitcher

[@amcgar1]

Can you tell me who you get your fabric from? It sounds like you are saying “exude” but I cannot find that anywhere

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I get it on Etsy! But I’ve also gotten it from kitten stitcher. It’s xjude designs fabric

[@angiefittro8372]

Take the baby to the park 2-3 days a week. That fabric you were not sure about-the camera made it look too blue for a Halloween piece, but that is just my opinion.
