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!

[@alicehwang4961]

Nice instructions Kays! A quick question - I have a XL hoop (10.5"x16"). Is it possible to rotate & stitch all four sides and the center piece (the 7.5"x7.5" product) on the XL hoop to save the time on cutting/trimming? Thanks.

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Alice normally if it is possible to stitch it in one hooping the files are included so I would say no because size of hoop, final size of the design and the hoops stitch field are completely different things. You could contact Heather and ask here if she can do and updated one in the future if you wanted too.

[@alicehwang4961]

@@KaysCutz Thanks! I will try to play around and see if it is doable. In the mean time, I will follow the step by step instructions to ensure accuracy and success of the final product.

Love all your tutorials, I also love the larger size sqizzors you use, I’m in the UK and I’ve looked on the suggested sites but I can’t find them, can any one point to in the right place please. Stay safe everyone x much love x

[@KaysCutz]

Thanks Melanie glad you enjoy them. They are actually pinch action precision aquarium scissors and I have found a UK link for you. The price in the link below is about average and although they might seem expensive but they do last. I have had mine a few years now and they are still cutting as well as the day I bought them.

[@cassiestephens7381]

What is the clear plastic thing you use to help keep the fabric flat called? I need one. Lol

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Cassie. I honestly don't know what it is. I cant remember where I found it I think they might have been part of packaging or something that didn't get thrown out, I improvise with anything that comes to hand when I need a tool for something. A pen with a lid on or a school rulers works just as well. They all save a broken needles from fingers getting stitched. Sorry I can be of more help on this.

[@cassiestephens7381]

Kays Cutz I was thinking a nail file would do the trick. 😆

[@remington6363]

thank you. checked my design do not see a 4x4. 5x7 is smallest. do you buy this separate?

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Mary no the 4x4 is included with the set. Open the unzipped file window and put 4x4 in the search bar and they will all come up. If not download them again from your KK account.

@@KaysCutz i bought the one with the 4x4 5x5 mine had 5x7 and up. will try this thanks to you.

Ahhh just realised there are two designs, the square one and there is a rectangular one it sounds like you bought the rectangular one. Put in Large square scallop placemat and this one will come up.

[@jodiekeighley3345]

Can you please tell me where you get your pins or what they are called

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Jodie they are T pins and I get them from Amazon but you dont need any special pins you can use any with a head on it. You will find links to all the products I use in the video description. Stay safe and happy stitching.

[@bertheniaallison808]

Why not use a simple cutaway mesh instead of a water soluble?

[@KaysCutz]

Hi Allison because it has an embroidered edge so when you have finished the satin stitching and remove it from the hoop you will have the stabilizer poking through the stitching. With wash away stabilizer your wet it and it disappears and you have a beautiful neat edge. The general rule is anything with an embroidered satin stitch edge use wash away and anything with a seamed edge use cut away. I don't use tear away at all for anything I find it a waste of money as it isn't strong enough to stand up to anything with satin stitching on it. I hope this help you.

[@helenwingate5424]

can polyester felt be used for the batting

[@KaysCutz]

Hi, I dont see why not but be away that felt shrinks in the wash so bear that in mind before making it. If you dont plan to wash it then it should be fine. Happy stitching,

my stitch out has different quilting ?

which machine do i need to use to stitch such ends of scallop

[@KaysCutz]

You need an embroidery machine.

@@KaysCutz your video the machine with HMI do i need to make the designs or we get it ready

[@KaysCutz]

@@anuragt8952 You need an embroidery machine to make this design. You get all the stitch files, you just need to put them in your embroidery machine and follow the instructions to make the placemat as shown in this video. The files are stitch ready there is nothing to do to the design. I hope this helps you.
