[@katiedurham5504]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Also, on the small blue chenille yarn...it is more apt to fray...being chenille yarn. Doesn't have much to do with the thickness of the yarn

[@CreativeAppliques]

Thanks for the tips! And thanks for watching!

[@UseYourManners123]

I like the red 11 mm best but they are all really cute for different effects. I want to try it on my sewing machine as added creativity

[@CreativeAppliques]

Good luck!

[@MarshaMorrison-kq1pv]

[@user-hx4vi1sg2t]

can you demonstrate on 6 needle embrodriey machine. It seems to not stictch like the single needle

[@judithdreitzler2398]

sure wish I could do this.

[@annphilbeck5174]

Watching from Providence Forge Virginia I really want to make a pillow with the yarn

[@CreativeAppliques]

That would be awesome! Please share in our Facebook group. Thanks for watching!

[@evggetsoian4899]

My machine "Luminaire 3" has a yarn attachment that I use to stitch the yarn down as it sews, no glue and no running stitch in advance. My question is: will this file work with this technique or will the file only work by gluing the letters down. Hope my question makes sense.

[@CreativeAppliques]

Hi! I have the luminaire too! This alphabet is created to be used with your embroidery arm and embroidery hoop. It is essentially an embroidery design. It will not work on the sewing side of the machine. You will not use the yarn attachment of the machine. You do not need to use glue to hold down the yarn. It makes it easier but is not necessary. Thank you so much for watching!

[@michelejewett612]

Great demonstration, question I have is can you use a 90 Denim needle?

[@CreativeAppliques]

Yes you can! I actually recommend that needle for this project 😀 Thanks so much for watching! 💖

[@conniebentley8967]

After it has laid down the placement stitch, does it go in the right order?

[@CreativeAppliques]

You will need software to be able to sequence the letters to stitch in the correct order.

[@bonitasmith9732]

GREAT VIDEO! I can't wait to try this now. But, I am concerned about the speed of my machine. The slowest I can turn the speed down is to 600 SPM. Can you offer your opinion please?

[@CreativeAppliques]

I think it should be okay. Try a test run. Make sure to keep your hands out of the way. If you have a wooden chop stick or pencil, that would be helpful.

[@kristyhuber7835]

A couple of questions - You mentioned you normally would not have cut the thread after the H and before the E - but how would that work since the H ended on the inside of the letter? Also, I know you mentioned that so far you haven't had any issues with the thread coming undone after washing but had you considered doing a zig zag stitch instead of a running stitch? I only ask because it seems like there would be less chance of the stitch missing the thread that way. I'm excited to try this! Just waiting for my thread to arrive! I was SOOOO excited I apparently purchased the font twice!

[@CreativeAppliques]

Hi! The h stitches backwards for the first running placement stitch. When it stitches the yarn down, the h starts at the furthest most part on the left of the loop where it stopped the running stitch. This means when the yarn is tacked down, it will stitch the same way as if you were writing the letter in cursive therefore connecting with the e. The design is digitized with a running stitch to get the most loft and fluff out of the yarn. A zigzag stitch would compress the yarn more thereby seeing more of the stitching with the yarn being flattened. Thanks so much for watching!

[@kimiacuzio6574]

I found the alphabet upper and lowercase but I can’t find the script font. Could you post the script font too

[@CreativeAppliques]

Yes! It is coming soon... Thanks for watching!

[@gmstovall]

I tried twice to do the xo but it hung up both times. I slowed my machine down and raised the presser foot to 4. Do you have any other suggestions.

[@CreativeAppliques]

Since that is not my design, I cannot offer assistance. Thanks for watching!

[@Fairygirl10843]

Could you use any bean stitch for these type of yarn designs?

[@CreativeAppliques]

you could try it. But you will need to stitch out the letter first. Then you will need to lay down the yarn in sections stopping the machine periodically.

[@sandyrogers9203]

Love your video! I purchased the script and print fonts. I installed the BX fonts into Embrilliance software. How did you get your "hello" to stitch the running stitch to run for the whole word first. When I typed in "hello" into Embrilliance using the BX font, it stitches each letter with a running stitch - then a bean stitch with stops. Then it goes to the next letter and runs the running stitch. I did NOT do a color sort. What am I doing wrong?

[@CreativeAppliques]

Stay tuned for a live coming soon covering just this topic... Thanks for watching!

Can you do this on a 7 needle embroidery machine?

[@CreativeAppliques]

Yes. Program the machine to stitch the same color for every stop. Thanks for watching!

[@hollycampo7167]

glue stick!! what a great idea!!! i found that the embroidery spray adhesive was problematic. thanks!

[@CreativeAppliques]

Glad it was helpful! 💖 Thanks for watching!

[@paulawyatt6298]

Do you use white thread or the same color as your yarn?

[@CreativeAppliques]

I use the same color thread as my yarn! Thanks for watching!

[@cathygossett1295]

I just purchased your print design today and was so excited to get started! However I am very confused… I started a practice run as u suggested but it appears to be fully completing one letter at a time. It does not complete the running stitch for all the letters at once. I see 18 color changes on my machine, all numbered as 1. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

[@CreativeAppliques]

Since each letter is an individual design file that are merged to create one design, they are not going to color sort. You will need to move the first part of each letter to the first step of the design in order for that part of the design to stitch first. Warning! Do NOT color sort the entire design of letters. If you do that, you will have the running stitch all sew first, but then you will also have the first part of the curve of each letter stitch next. Which means when you are taking down the yarn, the machine will be skipping all over the place. This video might offer you more insight: kzbin.infodoUd_DceEmA?si=7nctrDCP3YUl6mca

[@cindyleach]

@@CreativeAppliques So if I want to do Mom without attaching I can ?

[@lindagiddes4551]

Does the machine stop itself? Or do you have to stop it yourself?

[@CreativeAppliques]

With my files, the machine will stop itself for each step of the letters. It is all explained in the PDF instructions. You can also stop the machine at any time you need to reposition the yarn. Thanks for watching!

[@MakerandDreamer]

Hi 😊 I believe the size you're giving is the size of the crochet hook that can be used with that yarn. The size of the yarn itself is in weigh not in ml Good demonstration. Thank you

[@CreativeAppliques]

Thanks for the info! I am not a crocheter so excuse my ignorance LOL Thanks for watching!

[@tracystitt1128]

I realize a late to the game...I am a member of creative fabrica and have the worst time finding things on their site. The font you provide here is no longer available apparently. Any other recommendations?

[@CreativeAppliques]

My business is Creative Appliques :) I am not on Creative Fabrica, that is why you are not finding it. You can find this font here on my website: creativeappliques.com/shop/yarn-script-alphabet-applique/

[@cindyleach]

Do you have individual letters besides cursive?

[@CreativeAppliques]

Hi! Yes! You can find the print letters here: creativeappliques.com/shop/yarn-print-alphabet-applique/

[@wrttwo]

Is glue ok to use on machine?

[@CreativeAppliques]

I have not had any issues. If you are concerned about it, contact your machine dealer and ask them about it. You could also use a wash away double sided basting tape like this: amzn.to/3RHdDU6 Thanks for watching!

[@rosazatroch3047]

Isn’t the glue bad for the machine?

[@CreativeAppliques]

I have not had any issues with the glue being an issue.

[@conniel.4601]

Might be nice if done with a smaller size yarn.

[@CreativeAppliques]

Yes. I think I mentioned that at the end of the video lol Thanks so much for watching!

[@judithdreitzler2398]

looks too terribly difficult and time consuming. Also my machine cannot adjust the foot.

[@CreativeAppliques]

It really does not take that long. Also using a thinner yarn, helps when you cannot raise your pressor foot! Thanks for watching.
