I just recognized your metal ruler! I still have mine from the 70’s. Use it for sewing projects. Love it with the slider on it. Have you had yours forever, too?

[@lindaspaperworks]

Yes, Barbara, I have had mine forever, too. I think I got for my sewing kit when I was taking home ec in high school. I think I still have the slider somewhere. It’s a handy size for paper crafts, too.

[@Barbarachocolate1956]

@@lindaspaperworks I’m surprised they are not selling them now. It’s super handy. I saved everything I used for sewing since 4H years ago hundred years ago! 😄

[@lindaspaperworks]

@@Barbarachocolate1956 I saw a similar one in a bag of sewing items at a thrift store recently. Maybe I should have bought the bag. I didn’t know they don’t sell them anymore. I have a couple from my mother’s and my mother in law’s sewing things.

Just went through an old box of sewing supplies and saw mine. It brought back some memories. 😊

Just subscribed and looking forward to going through your videos. My mom always said “sewing will make you or break you”. Being stubborn, I wouldn’t let that happen.

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

8:15 using this type of glue does it make your paper warp? And if so does it matter to you?

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

I guess it doesn’t matter

[@lindaspaperworks]

Hi Sandra, Aleene's Turbo Tacky Glue dries faster than the regular Aleene's Tacky glue. I think that the quick drying aspect keeps it from warping the paper as much. The Turbo Tacky glue is more difficult to use to glue large areas. It dries so fast that sometimes the first parts are already dry before I have applied glue to the entire surface. That can also vary depending on the humidity in the atmosphere. I just took a look at the pocket and tab on the piece you referenced and the little bit of glue that I put inside the tab didn't warp the paper. The gesso that I painted over the words on the back caused more paper warp. I enjoy using coffee, tea and other dyed papers as well as watercolor and other paints on my pages, so I don't mind a little bit of warping. The short answer is I generally can overlook the paper warp. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
