MY SUPPLIES
My fabrics and batting (I use Vilene High Loft Volume Fleece 295) are from the Remnant House in the UK:
www.remnanthou...
I can’t live without my sharp stabby tool as I call it, is a clay sculpting tool. I bought it in my local craft shop. Amazon do sell them as part of a clay sculpting set but not individually.
All my other supplies are from Amazon including my large squizzors. They are actually aquarium precision pinch action scissors.
I use H2O gone FSL water soluble stabilizer or Brothread cut away stabilizer for my stitch outs.
Happy stitching!

Thank you so mucg. I still made a few small mistakes. But this bag would have been impossible without your tutorial

[@marianrooth9514]

That’s the cutest smallest little purse. Thanks Kay.

[@KaysCutz]

You're welcome thanks for watching.

[@katherinekallmeyer5407]

All the other ITH projects put the zipper on the front of the bag and all my instructors said the zipper cannot be put on the top. And here you've gone and done it!!! Can't wait to make this. I ordered it today. Your video is excellent. Thank you so much.

[@KaysCutz]

Thanks Katherine pleased you enjoyed it. There is a new coin purse out bigger than the 4x4 but same zipper location have you seen it? Are you subscribed to Kreative Kiwi's newsletter? If not here it is www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/product/In-the-hoop-Lined-Coin-Purse.html

You’re amazing! Great teacher!

Wow thank you ☺️

[@deannaarmstrong9471]

This is so awesome! I'm new to embroidery and didn't even know this was possible. I will definitely be making these as gifts!

[@KaysCutz]

Welcome to the wonderful world of machine embroidery I hope that you are enjoying it. Its a steep learning curve so I am pleased that you find my videos helpful on your journey. Thanks for watching and happy stitching.

[@gailroutt360]

Love it! It will be a neat little gift for my granddaughters’ stockings!

[@KaysCutz]

It is very practical I use mine for my loose change. They look lovely in children's fabrics your GD will love it. Happy stitching.

[@wifeofchief]

Thank-you so much for this!!! It is so helpful and now I see how the stablizer is meant to be "sewn in" and then cut away!😊

[@KaysCutz]

You're welcome Judy please it helped you to make sense of it all. Happy stitching

@@KaysCutz 😊

[@HJcillie]

Can you please make more lace zips bags?? I ordered 40!! Zips and need more desighns😂

[@KaysCutz]

LOL I am sure there will be many more in due course. I get my zips 40 at a time too as it is much cheaper. I use mine both under the fabric as well as on top as they are prettier than a standard zip and KK does have quite a few zipped bags that you can use them on. Here is a lace zip bag that you might like and I did a video for it too. www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/product/In-the-hoop-Diamond-Bag.html Other zipped bags on Kreative Kiwi Embroidery www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/category/bags.html

[@HJcillie]

@@KaysCutz i have downloaded 2 ...including the naje up bag ..but the bits of Quilting is what i love...the FREE lace zip bag has no quilting and i would pay to have it with done quilting added... I was amazed to see how easy ITH is... thanks to you!! 🤗❤️👍

[@HJcillie]

@@KaysCutz just saw the diamond bag has quilting!!!

[@KaysCutz]

@@HJcillie yes it does and there are several sizes in the set too.

[@KaysCutz]

@@HJcillie You can contact Heather at Kreative Kiwi and ask her if she would consider adding any but that would be up to her as it is her design, you are not allowed to have it altered by anyone else as it would contravene the copyright of the design of course. Drop her an email see what she says.

[@a.h.gellrich6046]

[@HJcillie]

I made this but could it be made in a bigger size as to make a set? Maybe 16 x 26cm hoop? It is sooooo beautiful❤

[@KaysCutz]

Here is a bigger one in all sizes - www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/product/large-make-up-bag-hoop.html

[@marianrooth9514]

I want one. It's so cute. Thanks Kay

[@KaysCutz]

You're welcome Marian. Happy stitching.

[@diannewhite9848]

Thank you a great gift idea. Could you slit the stabiliser on the zipper before you add the back?

[@KaysCutz]

I wouldn't because as soon as you cut into it the tension changes and could distort. Stabilizer keeps everything from moving. It isn't hard to use a stitch un-picker afterward. If I make it look clumsy it is only because I have a camera under my eyes and cant always see what I am doing properly.

[@heatherhumphrey3083]

Brilliant Kay, I downloaded this pattern to make a good few for a charity shop. Unfortunately my machine has stopped picking up the bobbin thread and tried numerous things but still won’t do it 😟

[@KaysCutz]

Did you get your machine serviced ans working again Heather?

[@peterturner1582]

I just love doing ITH designs. I find they sell really easily as well.

[@KaysCutz]

They are nice aren't they. I love stitching them out and they make excellent presents too.

[@corettahadley8852]

Love your video. Would you please do a tutorial for 4x4 hoop id wallet?

[@KaysCutz]

Coretta you will have to post a link in here to the design please so I can see which one you mean. Nothing comes up when I search ID wallet.

[@KaysCutz]

If you mean the new wallet it is made in the same way as this one.

[@jyoung7375]

Great explanation and I’m ready to try after watching this! For the back can I use batting too instead of the interfacing? That’s the only thing at hand. Thanks!

[@KaysCutz]

I am really pleased it has given you the confidence to try this little bag. Yes you can use batting rather than interfacing. Happy stitching.

[@miriamrosareyescerda5783]

Hermoso trabajo 👏👏👏 consulta como de llama la 1ra capa que usa??

Morning from North Cyprus

[@KaysCutz]

Goodmorning welcome to my channel.

[@janbeko-nathan6876]

a chopstick makes it quite easy to turn the corners and make them a sharp corner

[@KaysCutz]

Yes absolutely.

[@jackiesayre3605]

Wonderful, love how small it is, but what is the finished size and can/when could I add a cord to carry just keys for example my husband and I play Santa & Mrs. Claus. I think this would be a perfect accessory in white, but need a cord. Thank you

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Jackie, yes you can add a cord you would do so when you add the backing sandwiching it between the front and back on one side.so it gets sewn into the side seams.

[@iilianalupu9050]

Je vous adore tout simplement !!! Merci, merci...! :) :)

[@KaysCutz]

De rien, vous êtes gentille merci.

[@fredaburnham7330]

i love your sessions,,i would like to have measurments of each fabric and batting please

[@fredaburnham7330]

i am new....

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Freda welcome to the world of machine embroidery. All fabric and batting sizes are included in the instructions that come with the design. There is a link to the design in this video description.

[@jackie-dbdstitchart4969]

so cute. What weight of cutaway did you use? It looks thinner than what I have.

[@KaysCutz]

I use Sulky soft and sheer, light weight cut away.

[@marianrooth9514]

Thanks Kay. Can you do this on the 5 X 7 hoop. I don't have the 4 X 4 hoop?

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Maria your're welcome and yes you can. Any design that is smaller than your biggest hoop can be used so a 5x7 hoop can do 5x7 and 4x4 but not a bigger design design. I hope that helps.

[@pamconyers5599]

Thank you

[@KaysCutz]

You're welcome.

[@mariacorreiaa]

Wonderful!! I love your videos. Did you put the batting in front and behind? Where can I buy this folded poly poly fleece? I do not know and would like to buy.

[@KaysCutz]

I used heat and bond on the back of my fabric so it padded the back of the bag. I cant answer you question about the poly fleece batting as I don't know where abouts you are in the world. I have asked my UK supplier for the name of the Brand I use, as soon as she gets back to me I will let you know.

[@mariacorreiaa]

@@KaysCutz Thanks. I am in Portugal. I always buy inside the European Union. I also like to buy through Amazon.com with them we have no problems with customs as tax is already included. I await your contact

[@KaysCutz]

Maria the fleece I use is called high loft fleece Vilene. This is where I get it from www.remnanthousefabric.co.uk/high-loft-volume-fleece-vilene?search=Volume&category_id=0&sub_category=true&fbclid=IwAR2nOREuQ1czXrphffElzR_lLwHYR8iUBCTD6pDhn3N_39Uvb4mjpVw3URU

[@mariacorreiaa]

@@KaysCutz Thank you so much Kays. I bought it right now. I got it in a store in France. I'm happy. All the best to you. I wish you and your family are well with this fire that is passing around. I pray for you. You are very dear and kind. Another question: Before use, do I have to wet? Kisses.

[@gloriarobbins544]

My iPhone earbuds fit in it perfectly.

[@KaysCutz]

It is a very handy little bag.

[@shazlahey6784]

Thank you, love it

You're welcome Shaz. Thanks for watching.

[@MeLost2010]

If I want to put this on a background fabric to frame how do I do that

[@KaysCutz]

Hi I am sorry I dont understand your question as it is a bag I am not sure how you would frame it.

[@maureenkearns5376]

Per the website I used this video to make the larger purse, 8x10 (there are about 4 sizes for the purse I'm making). It does not leave an opening to turn so I had to do unstitch all of the stitching for the various layers. Is there a glitch in my purse embroidery design?

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Maureen, the designs are so well tested it is unlikely that the problem lies there. Have you opened the file in embroidery software of any kind? If you did delete the files you unzipped, then unzip the downloaded file again, drag and drop the files you are going to stitch straight onto a USB key and put it into your machine. Embroidery software can cause problems with the files as it can auto sort the colours without you realizing. this will change the order of the colours and prevent things from stopping where they should. Have a read of Kreative Kiwi's blog post on this subject www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/blog/Embroidery-software-changing-design-files.html If you are still having problems afterward email Kreative Kiwi their email address is at the top of their website page. Let me know how you get on.

[@maureenkearns5376]

I have downloaded embroidery software and will do as you said today. Thank you SO much for replying so quickly. Trying to work on this purse as my "usual" belated birthday gift for a niece and I'm so anxious to make it and get it to her. She'll love it. Other than that problem on my end, the video is excellent and I'm so glad you go slowly and your hands aren't in the way of what we need to see, as happens on some other companies embroidery videos, making it very difficult to follow.

[@KaysCutz]

@@maureenkearns5376 Yes do not open the files in your software as it is likely to be responsible for altering the stitch files. There is actually a warning in the instructions not to do so for exactly this reason. Happy stitching

[@evelynrope7032]

Is there a pattern? ,or is this free stitching?

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Evelyn there is always a link to the design in the video description. This is a machine embroidery freebie as shown in the video. I hope this helps

[@rachelgarnsey6579]

What type of tape do you use? I use the painters tape and it never holds as well as yours does.

[@KaysCutz]

The cheapest and stickiest I can find usually. I cant advise further because what is available in your country might not be in mine.

[@sherrymckee130]

For stitch numbers didn’t match up so I had to keep going back and using the different ones to secure the parts 🤷‍♀️

[@402Sprite]

This has to be the fastest and most hardest video I have had to try to keep up this while sewing along. Whew.....slow down next time.

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Lisa I am sorry you found it hard to keep up. It is sped up in places throughout so that you can get on with your stitch out without wasting too much of your time watching things that are repetitive such as the machine stitching, taping fabric, trimming up excess fabric and batting, turning and such like, as most people don't like videos that drag on when they are stitching the design out. I do try to strike a balance to suit as many people as possible but you comment is duly noted. Thank you for watching and thank you for your feedback is is very much appreciated.
