[@bettymetz3746]

I am sure those who are completely new to sewing machines will appreciate the time it took for you to share so much thorough instructions. So glad you love what you do!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you so much!

[@susantellez6421]

Excellent teacher! No unnecessary chatter, just right to the matter at hand. I really enjoy your videos

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thanks hun x

[@labgirlreed]

Just want to say how much I appreciate the detailed explanation of steps for sewing on paper. I’m in my 70’s and have been putting off sewing in my journals because I lacked confidence, but after this video I’m once again excited about sitting at my machine and giving it a go. Thank you so much!❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad it was helpful! You can do it x

[@jaynewood6714]

Another fun project - and collaboration. Yay Thanks for all the info and tips !

[@nancybeebe7622]

Hi Tracy. This by far explains all the does and don't of sewing on paper.. Thank you Tracy. Job well done

[@HelenJeanneHandmade]

Thank you for your wonderful tips, beautiful freebies and for taking part in this wonderful collaboration!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Any time!

[@lubarichard9558]

Thank you so much for showing a close up of the sewing and explaining the technique!

[@carolpickering7004]

I can't believe how fun it is to sew on paper!!! I sewed an extra quilt block onto a piece of card stock to make a cover for a small journal that I've been asked to make for a quilter. I was having a hard time getting this project started but after sewing on the paper, I can't wait to work on it. Since it's going to be a rather small journal, I'm planning to machine sew the signatures. Yippee! So much fun!!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Wow that sound lovely! Good luck with it x

[@ChristinasPaperCreations]

Wow! This was some great information. Thank you and thank you for the freebies. That is so generous of you. YOu sew so wonderfully.

[@thebrowndragonfly]

Thank you Tracie for sharing so much with us!

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

[@normaruby7657]

Thank you so much Tracie really appreciate all the information re sewing machine and how to use it with paper.

[@debrafazzi3858]

Thank you, really needed this, fabulous, so many great tips. Have a cheep mini sewing machine, works surprisingly well, or an 1940 singer that’s cranky. Can’t wait to see the other crafters. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@debbieekes5718]

Thank you Tracie. Beautiful kit. You are a very talented designer.

[@SweetPeaPapers]

Thank you so much. I have never sewed before and I have a sewing machine I have never used. I think mastering these 2 basic stitches will get me going. :) teri

[@earlinesmith3563]

Thanks Tracey for sharing and going slowly. I have a mini machine so I'll take it slow and easy.

[@millieg.5497]

Hi Tracie, thanks for the excellent sewing the instructions, very helpful! Hugs

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

Thank you for sharing sewing on paper tips. I have sewn clothes on a sewing machine before but never paper. Some of the the tips are similar to sewing fabrics. The stitche length is a very good one to prevent paper from tearing

[@carolbisson5242]

Gorgeous. I'm sure my sewing technic will improve after watching your video. Thank you so much for the lovely kit. Awesome.

[@nancyjoclark5006]

Thank you, Tracie. I’ve been sewing on paper, but will put your tips into use to better my stitching.

[@CaraBrandonCreations]

awesome tips! I always forget if the higher number is looser or tighter!

[@anntaylor7781]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I learned alot about my sewing machine, especially with the stitching size and the tension. TFS

[@whitneykosters9102]

What a fun collaboration. I’ve been doing scrapbooking/junk journals for quite a few years but still loved watching the video, tfs

[@wilmamoolenbeek6144]

Very very useful. Found most of that out already. So happy my mum was a hobby seamstress, saw her do all this all my childhood. That helps.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bigmommasandymoore2531]

Thank you for all the reminders to maintain my machine

[@annalba]

Brilliant tutorial, Love to sew on my pages, you have given me some WONDERFUL ideas. Take care.

I have been using a sewing machine for the last 40 years and this is the most useful, helpful video. I've never really known how to deal with tension related niggles and tangles so your really clear tips and tricks were exactly what I needed. I'm sure there are many others among us who will feel the same way. Thank you so much! x

[@shondra6]

I love sewing on paper. I have a special machine set up just for paper , so to save my good one, , it was being thrown away, mind you. All it needed was a globe for the light. Some bits and bobs were still in their bags 😜 TFS sharing this video. 🙏💐I love these papers btw.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh wow!

[@scrappycavie5151]

[@janevincent7103]

Love all of this, Tracie. Everything looks so fantastic from your stitches to the splatters. I sure needed the sewing lesson I used to sew all kinds of things from little jumpers for my boys to a bean bag chair sewn with the industrial (HA!) herculon material (I broke a few needles on that project). But that was eons ago so I truly needed this. Thank you so much, Tracie.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

WOW, I have made a few table cloths and altered curtains, thats my limit with fabric lol x

[@cindybooth5099]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you very much. 😊❤️

[@buffalban]

Tracie - Fantastic video! I used to sew a long time ago clothes but found that I have a hard time when sewing on paper. I love the look using the black thread but mine just looks bulky. I need to use the many tips you provided and do some more practicing. I think this extra step adds so much more to a journal page. This is going to be a wonderful series. I will be watching these over and over. Many thanks to all that have participated for sharing your time and talent. It is so much appreciated. Pamela A / PA
