DON'T BUY? 9 REASONS Scholastic's Klutz Sew Mini Treats Felt is NOT worth it SaltEcrafter #11

Pun Count: 0:53 "Within the fabric of my soul" 4:21 "Knot beginner friendly at all" 5:00 "I wanna Knot happen" 7:27 "Time for the Knitty Gritty" 9:12 "I'm Sew Salty over that Knot!" I don't know if these sewing puns were intentional Jackie, but I was following the pattern. Thanks for reviewing a sewing kit! I love sewing, I used to sew things all the time as a kid with my mum.

Salty Crafty you should list 2 other pros: 1.) It is teaching a skill that is helpful for every human who wears clothes in order to repair a loose button, hem, or zipper. 2.) It has more gender neutral projects which increase the chances for males, who are not usually introduced to sewing (at least in US), an opportunity to learn a skill to improve their life their entire lifetime...

I have been sewing for 9 years and I'm an award winning competitive cosplayer. I taught myself hand sewing and then later how to use a sewing machine. My grandfather was a tailor in New York, so sewing is in the blood coursing through my veins. I wouldn't consider myself a sewing expert nor a professional, but I would say I'm experienced. With that being said, those instructions on how to tie a knot are not only confusing, they are unnecessary. I paused and read them multiple times and I still had no idea what the hell they are saying. Just tie a knot like a normal human being, don't make it difficult. Those instructions? *In da trash*

[@craftywabbit9547]

looks like it has plenty of felt included but that needle ! Bah humbug. Not surprised the eyes were demolished at first attempts - every time the needle went through it left a big hole in the felt!! But makers of kit prob had to provide a HUGE needle for safety reasons. Impressed by your first time making felt thingummys!!! Loving these salty reviews

[@songdancer13]

The needles in the sewing kits are garbage. I get they can't use smaller needles in 'for kids' kits, because 'safety'. But when my kids and I got the tiny animals one, and this one, I'll just say I was SUPER happy that I do a lot of hand sewing, and have GOOD needles on hand. Having good needles makes a HUGE difference in how well the projects turn out, since the ones that come in the kit just kill the felt, especially the tiny cheeks and eyes, where good, smaller, sharp needles don't.

[@dcinrb8538]

Embroidery needles have blunt ends and large eyes. Sewing needles are cheaper and can be bought at the corner 7 - 11 stores but require a threader because of the smaller eyes. If the larger needle holes in your felt bother you, then glue them on.

[@amandastuart7378]

I got this kit for my birthday, I had a good time. The eyes stayed for me the only problem I had was the needles were blunt. After a while I did get the knot but it is easier to do a normal knot.

[@ErasCrow]

The needle they give is waayyyyyyyyyy too large. If you use a smaller needle it will be easier for you.

[@AbsyntheRain]

Era Crow Yes!! I use that size needle to weave yarn ends in to my crochet and knitting projects.

[@ashleyschneider6100]

It is pretty huge but I think they chose that size so kids wouldn’t lose or drop them as easily.

[@SuperGlitterUnicorn]

The sewing technique they're trying to get you to do to knot the thread is called a French knot. It's pretty satisfying to do one you get it done

[@SuperGlitterUnicorn]

French knots are also thicker so it probably wouldn't have gone through the eye

I finally noticed a tutorial by Lauren fairweather here on KZbin that explained it so well that It just clicked!!😂 Once you have it down its literally so fast and shaves like 6 seconds off your knotting time!😜 That's pretty useful when you're tying knots so often for hand sewing.👍 💓 Thanks for the review!!!

[@sharpasasyringe]

Well yeah. Just one regular knot will be too small and the thred will just go right trough the fabric. The sewknot makes "several" knots at the same time and makes it bigger. So Jackie, just make several knots on the same spot and it will work out just fine! :3

[@AlexaFaie]

I'm not great with dexterity regarding sewing needles so I cheat. I get a longer length of thread (double what I'll need) then pull it through the needle so it's equal. Then take both sides at the ends together, wrap around my finger and the rub them together. It can take a couple of goes, but it'll make a larger knot than a simple tied one PLUS you don't lose the thread out of the needle! Just make sure you start the thread on the underside/inside of the project and you're good to go. Best bit? If you have to leave you project for a bit, you can't lose the needle - it's attached! Don't listen to the "rules" about the back/inside having to be as neat as the front. Do whatever works to get the results you want. 😀

[@geekynerd04]

0w0

[@allisons8027]

Great I do the first part sometimes but sometimes when you don’t want it to show it shows because it is thicker

[@claritey]

I do something similar to make a knot and it works with one thread or two. Just wrap the end of the thread around the tip of your fore finger several times then push the loops off with your thumb. Then while holding the twirled loops loosely between your thumb and forefinger pull the long thread so that the loops tighten into a knot. Easy.

[@claritey]

Super easy way to make a knot in thread that anyone can do, even if they have sausage fingers: After threading needle take the ends of the thread and wrap them around the tip of your index finger a few times forming a circle. Push the circle of thread off your index finger with your thumb applying presure so that the thread between your finger and thumb twists as it comes off. Keep the twisted circle of thread between your index finger and thumb then pull while holding it firmly so that it forms a knot in the end of the thread. With a little practice this can be done one handed in one smooth motion where you pull the circle as you are pushing it off your index finger with your thumb so that the circle becomes smaller as you are twisting it and it becomes a knot by the time you let it go. This can be done using both ends of the thread or just one. This was much more complicated to explain than do, basically you are just tangling the ends of the thread while pulling it tight into a knot.

[@OurFunHouse]

I have this kit and made a few of the felt plushies. I actually found it pretty fun and included everything you need. I loved the book, and would recommend the kit! Thanks for sharing 💜

[@iseeyou4622]

That was a beginner instruction on how to tie a knot in sewing because that was the one taught to us in school and sometimes when the thread doesn't hold on it means that your knot should be bigger😄

[@operanchu]

The reason the sewing was hard with the eyes is that needle is way too big.

[@jjcymbolic]

The problem is that they made the needle bigger so kids can find it and not stab themselves. So there's a good intention, but I'd be salty about it too.

[@LoganBlackwell1012]

they made the needle too big so you would've had to stitch further apart to get the eye on that stitch was unfortunately too close together. RIP eye. press f to pay respects

I’m watching this after having this kit and LOVING it for a loooong time. I’ve made almost everything in the book and even got creative with all my little faces and such. It definitely requires a lot of patience and is time-consuming. But I actually enjoyed the process, having nothing else to do with my time anyway lol. Once you get past the initial learning curve, it becomes super easy. The worst part for me was the finishing knot. I could never get it to work right so I just hand tied my knots at the end lol.

[@erinbrunk4210]

You were worried cause you got two, I would've been like "Woooo! More 4 me!"

[@ralola1]

Ok, so I actually have this kit. The issue isn't because the felt is thin, it's because the needle is thick and tends to create big holes in the felt. But if you space it right it's not a problem. It just kind of happens when you have chonky needles. The rest of the review was entirely fair and pointed out a lot of problems I had with the kit.

[@turdbird0]

I am a plush maker and the needles they gave are way too big and the knot method is terrible!

[@MsLinaTina]

I noticed how big the needles were too. I'm wondering if they thought the large needle size would be easier for a child to handle. A really fine needle to start with would probably be frustrating.

[@pastelx7]

Jan C. I agree the bigger needles are easier and they don’t break as easy. That’s my opinion

[@turdbird0]

Jan C. At 10 a decent size hand needle would be perfect, it's a long sturdy needle and a commonly used one for doing decorative stitches and all regular stitches. Plus it's not too thick so the knot wouldn't keep pulling through.

[@songdancer13]

The needles in the kits (I also have the sew tiny animals one, 2 copies) are garbage. I love the kits, and recommend them to people looking for something like this for their kids to do, or to do with their kids. But I also include that if they don't have good needles already, they'll want to buy some, and not even bother with the ones in the kits. Even the 'sharp' ones in the kits are too big to use with the felt, without it taking WAY more work than it needs to.

My favorite pizza toppings? Bacon and pineapple. Come at me.

[@elliotayden3944]

Yay pizza buds!

[@kimsheen9990]

Bacon and pineapple is THE best combo!! 😄😍

[@potARTo]

I love this combo ❤️🍕🍕

[@ladywunderkind9390]

That's how I learned how to tie a knot for thread, it's the same technique in klutz's ribbon purse book. I love your videos and get a lot of inspiration from them, keep doing awesome stuff! :D

[@DarkSidedOtter]

#NerdEFicationSquad YAAAS! Bring on the Salty Fries 🍟! And I love pepperoni on my pizza

[@BlackStarofStarClanStarlords]

There are so many easier ways to tie knots...DID NO ONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?

[@SilverAero23]

Jackie! A good tip to keep the string from falling out of the needle head: double tread! Move the needle to the middle of the thread and tie the two ends together into a knot. As for the tutorial for the knot itself.... I only use that for the end of the stitch area. It's a bit difficult to get down, but it's really study.

[@DandisDen]

I'd totally wanna buy this kit for the patterns. Though, i dunno if i'd wanna spend $25 for a book and pattern sheets

[@nerdecrafter]

The patterns are super helpful though! It got a 7 3/4. So it's not a bad kit

[@DandisDen]

Agreed its not a bad kit, and yes you also get the felt (Which I'm sure you could get at Dollarama for super cheap) but I dunno if its really worth $25... Maybe if I had a little extra funds laying around I might pick it up. I've always wanted to do felt food and sell them on Etsy.

[@Nirrrina]

Just check online. I'm sure that there are free patterns online. Just print them on cardstock and they should work.

[@spiritcudaback7851]

You forgot the money factor like buy yourself of what’s in box

[@nerdecrafter]

It's harder to do when the kit includes a whole book and patterns unfortunately

[@spiritcudaback7851]

NerdECrafter it’s okay :)

[@maiadayett6562]

My mom and I are big on sewing and we just use the method for tying a knot as Jackie did, so I SUPPORT THE KNOTSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[@nikkifirouzi1122]

The way I learned to make a starting knot was to wrap it around my finger then slide it off with my thumb, then pull. It works a lot easier. And I love this kit use it all the time. I did them all in order and I’m on the last one. The stuffing did last for the whole kit and I still have half a bag of it.

[@kimevans9724]

SaltE doughnut and pizza! Rawr!

[@mich5310]

My mom actually wanted to teach me how to sew and do all that stuff when i was 7 and i still use it its actually good practice! I really recommend it for people who want to learn to sew

[@fnkidgrace9961]

When you said”.get a some water or some chocolate to fight the salt” I had a pack of ready SaLtEd crisps! Lol

[@crayshay9934]

Pepperoni, sausage, and EXTRA cheese. With a side of the souls of lost. 😈

[@mctron22rd]

You did better than I would do! That for sure!

Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig^^ Explore Leather Craft Starter Kit;) Trolls Paint 'n Play Plaster Activity Kito.o

[@randomgirll3123]

I second the leather one! I'm super interested in getting started with Leather and if it's a good buy it might be something to try to start out with. :)

[@sunidaze]

+ 1 on all of these, Especially the leathercraft kit.

[@colt5635]

SaltEcrafter is on a roll

[@daniellehulme-lowe5910]

I just learned how to knot the thread like this. It took me two tries to get it, but it is so much easier to have a knot that will not slide out of the fabric.

[@severalaiz]

I bot this so long ago. I managed to make a bacon with a moustache xD

[@skylargg6828]

They looked so cute 😔sad me plus I like food so it makes me even more sad

[@warriorcatgirl6847]

I’m stitching a hedgehog plushie for my cousin Also... to knot the thread, wrap the thread around your index finger, use your thumb and rub toward the point of index and the string should bunch up and wrinkle. Then using your other hand, pull on the extra string hanging off the wrinkle and pull it off your finger. If you do it fast enough, it should pull together and knot. Don’t pull on the short string too much or it will untie. If there are escapee loops and bits, pull on the small a small amount. It’s easy once you get the hang of it! This was how my homec teacher taught me.

[@WhatsMyFandom]

I love the supreme pizza but olives is often my go to.

[@KitarraChaosWeaver]

Olives are Satan's hemorrhoid cushions! *huge grin*

[@megan1324]

Woah so early.... 😂 I feel out of my comfort zone

[@sophiehobley828]

I can sew, and I got this kit for my birthday, and honestly one of the main pros I would list is that its changed how I tie a starting knot 🤣 its so much easier and faster to tie a quick knot using the method in this book, totally changed my sewing game! Lol! I wonder if having a bit more familiarity with it makes it simpler? But honestly I'd never used this method before and I loved it (and have taught it to other people since).

[@peachymango2787]

“well your salty too” “Actually yes I am.And I love it.”

[@Queenmoreta]

I know your sewing pain Jackie!

[@nowsynowsy]

They are pretty easy once you get the hang of it. You be sure to not let go of the thread until the knot is snug to the fabric and the floss is almost all the way through. Also, be sure not to go back in from the same hole you came out It's easier to practice on taunt fabric, try them a cloth in a frame and they will get perfect in no time

[@sarajeanne637]

Still having trouble with the blanket stitch.

[@cassplaysminecraft1737]

The French Knot they have you doing is one of the more advanced knots. And to keep stitches from popping, especially under dense pressure of over filled stuffing, they should have had you double stitch.

[@erinbrunk4210]

Her: Make sure to bring a glass of water. Me: Nah I love the salt *Grabs saltines*
