If you would like to see this in a slower speed, go to the bottom right and click on the settings icon, then click on player speed and change it from normal to .25. I hope this helps. Marilyn's work is just to wonderful to miss.

Hey Marilyn, have you ever considered using a (SPRING NEEDLE)? Maybe you should give it a try.

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

Yes I have and I didn't like it....just the bare needle is perfect for me! Thank you!

[@marlengamboapena8224]

Una artista fascinante!

[@4444Rosemary]

Marilyn, sorry for so many comments :) I have a question please, are you using two layers of fabric in the hoop? Or just one? Thanks for making these beautiful things and sharing the process with us.

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

I am only using one layer of fabric.

[@sandrabranstiter8247]

Do you find that because of thread density that you need a stabilizer underneath?

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

@@sandrabranstiter8247 I do not use any stabilizer either. It is not necessary if your fabric is hooped tight enough...........that is the one thing that is most important when doing this embroidery.

[@4444Rosemary]

Marilyn, on your last video, people were talking about what kind of music you listen to while you are sewing. Have you ever found the channels from Take in Japan? Take's Bluegrass Album Channel is a main one, but he has other music channels too. He has whole bluegrass albums, so many, like he puts up several albums a day. Lots of good stuff on Take's channels, if you like old time music and bluegrass

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

I love that sort of music but when you use music in a KZbin video you have to really be careful to not use any music that is copyrighted.

[@4444Rosemary]

@@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist I was only thinking for something for you to listen to while you sew on your own, not for the videos you make

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

@@4444Rosemary Yes...The choices you shared are excellent! I love all sorts of music! Thank you!

[@kennedy67951]

Hey, 'what type of Thread and Stabilizer are you using? What about Needle Type also?

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

I don't use stabilizer of any sort. I use Floriani and Isacord thread...but many different brands work as well. I use a regular Singer needle size 11.

@@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist Thanks you very much mate. Your knowledge is appreciated.

This is going to look fantastic Sewn into Pillow Cases for our Bed. My Wife will give Hugs and Kisses for this. I must do as soon as possible.

[@MarilynLeefabricthreadartist]

Awesome! I would love to see a pic of your finished work! Up next for me is a Polyphemus moth then a Luna and possible an Atlas moth! Loving their beauty and they are quite a challenge to try and duplicate! :)
