Thank you for sharing , and your English is just as pleasant as can be :) Your art that you are sharing is just inspiring and exciting. Your art is amazing and so you know English is the hardest language to master and you have mastered it .This is about your art not how to pronounce words. Thank you for sharing your talent to inspire us all :)

[@FranciscaNunes]

Hi Terry, Thank you so much! I could have a long conversation with you about this (which we can do privately, of course 😊😊), but I just want to say how important and supportive your comment is, and what a difference it makes. THANK YOU. 🧡🧡 Once, during one of my free courses-yes, "FREE"-I received a comment from a lady who said it was difficult to understand my accent, that she had to rewatch several times, and that I repeated myself, making it a waste of time. I knew it wasn’t my problem, and my tribe has always welcomed me and my accent warmly. But it intrigues me when I see how some people consume our content, savor it, and yet still feel entitled to say mean things. I love constructive feedback, as I’m an avid learner, always eager to improve. But I couldn’t help but wonder: does this lady speak more than one language? Well, Terry, no more words needed. I could go on and on, but I just want to say again: THANK YOU. 😘😘😘

[@TerryHitt-q6l]

@@FranciscaNunes I love it ! Exactly!! I bet you she only can say sew in English 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The devil made me say that . All joking aside there are good people in this world & You are definitely one of them😁 I love your accent and I had no trouble understanding you at all. You are so talented 💖 Thank you for sharing ❤ Francisca any time you want to vent I'm your hook up ! People sometimes forget how to be greatful for another person's positive energy and how that uplifts another human, I would like to tell you thank you for uplifting my day 😊 Have a fantastic day Miss Francisca 😁

I must confess that discover your channel was a pleasent surprise. I made some netting with thread, tissue paper and white glue (mod podge). I will try with tissue paper, thread and wall paper glue. But this is an easier way to do it. Great video ❤

[@cottonconfetti]

Thank you for sharing this great technique and the digital. I am guessing we need a lazer printer or the ink will run 🤩

[@FranciscaNunes]

Hi Davina, good point. My prints were printed in a shop with toner printers. But that's right; ink prints would probably run.

[@celineworotniak4349]

Gorgeous papers! Love what you did with these images. Can you share what kind of paper you used on the poppy images?

[@FranciscaNunes]

Thanks so much! I used copy paper for the poppy images. It works well for printing and allows the colors to stand out nicely.

[@lesliehoyt]

This is so great! Thank you! Any hints on what kinds of papers have been good to use?

[@FranciscaNunes]

Thank you, Leslie. That’s a great question, and I didn’t refer to it as much in the video. I think I only mentioned the tracing paper with the Gelli print of poppies. Regular copy paper is great; it’s strong enough to stitch, and when wet, it breaks easily. I use copy paper with the poppy prints. The other paper is tracing paper, which has an interesting texture. Since it has a Gelli print with the plastic of the acrylic paint, it was damaged differently, and the end result isn’t as faded as you might see in the video. Overall, thin papers that you can stitch are better because they crumple more easily.

[@susanhunter8272]

Is there a way to do this without a sewing machine? Absolutely loved this technique!!!

[@FranciscaNunes]

Hi Susan, hand-stitching will probably work, but it is more time-consuming.

This is amazing, I saw it but did not give much attention. Now I just want to get started! Can you use magazine pages as well, I do not have a printer to utilise pdf's or other printing. Thank you for sharing

[@FranciscaNunes]

Thank you, Retha! Yes, you can definitely use magazine pages for this project. They can add great texture and color. I’m glad you’re excited to get started, and I hope you enjoy experimenting with the materials you have!

This is completely brilliant; thank you for sharing the process. I'm curious, how were the images printed, on laser or inkjet? Thank you

[@TeAsEnToRmEnT]

You made me wish for a sewing machine for Christmas! I really want to try this BUT make the stitching more irregular so go at diagonals and widening out from a single point on each side... and instead of gesso what would it look like if i coated in a LOT of pva glue, can i use the hlue to fill the gaps with a transparent film? How would this look glues to a canvas and then paihted over to give incredible texture.. you make me want to experiment and play! But i know my brain and i will have forgotten about this by the time i have enough money for a sewing machine.. do you think this could be sewn by hand?

[@FranciscaNunes]

I love your enthusiasm and ideas for experimenting! The irregular stitching sounds like it would create such a dynamic effect, especially if you're working from a single point on each side. As for using PVA glue, it could definitely add an interesting transparent texture-worth trying for sure! Hand-sewing is absolutely possible if you don't have a machine, and it would give it a unique touch. Can't wait to see how you explore these ideas! Keep playing and having fun with it! 😊

[@Karibee61]

Fabulous! Is 5here a name for this?

[@FranciscaNunes]

Thank you! If you’re referring to the specific technique in the video,is netting paper, making it turn like a lace or knetting

[@teresabrock5168]

What stitch length do you use? I know that very close stitching will cause paper to tear away easily even when dry. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing technique!

[@FranciscaNunes]

Thank you, Teresa. Happy that you enjoyed it. I don't do them very very close to each other. I don't measure but they have some space in between.

Have you tried using freezer paper and ironing it between the freezer paper?

[@FranciscaNunes]

Hi Maria, no I din't try. I don't have freezer paper here in Portugal.

[@debbiehickman7222]

Would you share the stitch length you are using to create this paper netting. Thanks

[@FranciscaNunes]

Hi Debbie, Thanks for your question! I usually use a stitch length of about 1 to 2 cm (approximately 0.4 to 0.8 inches) when creating paper netting. This spacing creates a nice texture without being too tight, but feel free to experiment with shorter or longer stitches for different effects! Happy crafting!

[@judycowan1566]

just FYI the word “sew” is pronounced in American English “so” just like the word “so”… in other words “sew” and “so” are pronounced the same

[@FranciscaNunes]

Thanks for the heads-up, Judy! I appreciate the clarification on pronunciation. It’s always helpful to get those details right
