How to Jar Dye Aida

[@McDsLPs]

Despite my disdain for the vinegar smell in our kitchen - I think you ROCKED this dye job!

[@8BitStitch]

Aw thanks husband!

[@CallMeMrRook]

Im new to CS but instantly knew i wanted more interesting backgrounds and your method looks so straight forward... Dare i say "i will be dyeing tonight"

[@katelynnschuette5389]

Cool fabric color. I didn't know dyeing fabric was so easy, thanks

[@debanderson1075]

I just used your method and it worked perfectly. I have to ask why vinegar? I used salt. But certainly not opposed to vinegar. Mine worked perfectly. I also dunked it quickly into tea to take off the brightness.

I was wondering how to dye fabric. I don't use a microwave so this seems so much easier! Thanks!

[@8BitStitch]

You’re welcome, glad the video was helpful!

Thank you!

[@JennyFleming]

FABULOUS TUTORIAL!!

[@8BitStitch]

Thank you!

[@melissajohnson8071]

It looks soooo awesome!! This is exactly what I was looking for! Why do you wash the Aida after you rinse it? In The washing machine?

[@8BitStitch]

Sorry for the late reply, I have been a little MIA on social media. It's to get out any excess dye that may bleed out onto your threads and your hands.

[@honeybunnystitchery]

Really awesome video and beautiful dye job! How do you wash your fabric between dyes and do you use soap? Thanks!

[@8BitStitch]

Just in my washing machine with no soap.

[@annkimble6700]

Thank you! i'm trying this today. Where did you get that cute dog picture behind you? It looks like my dog. I love it!

[@Pasos4me]

This is such a good video. After your last dyeing step, in your washing machine do you then use soap? If you don’t use soap, is there a vinegar smell to the fabric? I did my first dye job yesterday following another you tuber who put the fabric in the oven. I’m uncomfortable with that process and am wondering why it’s done. Also, some folks use salt. My grandmother always said Vinegar sets the color. She was a quilter. So I’m wondering about the salt method….🤷🏻‍♀️ Fantastic video. Looking forward to more 😊

[@8BitStitch]

I do not use soap and I do not notice a vinegar smell. I have also used salt and it works very well too, however if you don’t get the salt to dissolve completely it can create a grainy look on your Aida. I have never heard the oven thing. That makes me just as uncomfortable as the microwave.

[@barbarapriddy6447]

Do you have to use white wine vinegar?

[@8BitStitch]

sorry for the late reply, I am been MIA on social media. Just white vinegar :)

[@dearlady5857]

Oh wow, those turned out so great! Where do you get your sparkly aida?

[@marinamota1979]

Hi there. Great video. Do you let your fabric dry in between colors? Thanks ☺

[@8BitStitch]

Good question. I do not as I am just going to wet them before adding them to the dye regardless.

[@Miauwies]

Just found you on youtube. Nice video, thank you. Are you going to make more video's?

[@8BitStitch]

I plan to. I’m hoping to make a video Tuesday about why I have been MIA.

[@JemmaDreaminginAida]

I wonder if I can get Rit here in the UK?! Also, how big is your jar?

[@8BitStitch]

Here is a link to the jars I use www.amazon.com/Mason-Craft-More-Airtight-Kitchen/dp/B07ZQQYLKL

[@rachelkingsmill4545]

Do you have to close the jar for the dying to work?

[@8BitStitch]

I haven’t tried it with the jar open. I think closing it keeps the heat in so you may get better results with a closed lid.

[@Scrabbledat]

I there a way to surge the edges I’f you don’t have a sewing machine lol

[@lesley4928]

Hi, two hand-sewing methods you can use are blanket stitch and whipstitch. I like blanket stitch the best because it is easy and secure and it looks nice, lol. There are loads of tutorials for these on KZbin. Just a note - the tutorials often assume you are sewing two edges together, but these stitches work just fine along a single edge of fabric (ie where you would serge). The blanket stitch tutorial I learned from is "Overlocking by hand" and the channel is called sewberry. Sorry I don't know how to post the link. 🌺

What is the song from 3:30?

[@UtahJazzFamily1]

I found it! It is Don't Go by Yaz

[@8BitStitch]

Thank you, my laptop is remarkably slow and I was trying to get it turned on to give you the answer.

There is a saying when you use RIT you get shit
