Step by Step - How to darn your Pointe Shoes

[@brendadufaur37]

So interesting! Lovely presentation and personality. It would have been great to see the darned pointe shoe in an arabesque or pique and an undarned pointe shoe in arabesque and piqe. Excellent tutorial.

This video is very helpful thank you! Is it completely necessary to create holes before darning?

[@dpuntillas4610]

Thank you :) The reason why I make the holes is to have a more long lasting darning. In the past I didn’t make this holes and it happened several times that my darning ripped the satin for my pointe shoe and it was completely undone (with freed of London). By making the holes I make sure it wont go anywhere.

Hola. Gracias por tus videos. Podrías explicar cómo alargar el talón para que no se salga? Y en caso de que ablanden, cómo logras endurecerlas para que duren un poco más. Gracias

[@dpuntillas4610]

Hola! Siento la demora en la respuesta :) Y respecto a alargar el talón de la zapatilla para que no se salga… tiene solución pero nunca me ha parecido totalmente seguro 100%. Para ello tendrías que coser un elástico de resistencia FUERTE y bastante ancho (dependiendo de cuanto se te salga la zapatilla para que actúe de extensión de la zapatilla. Podría hacer un video al respecto próximamente!! Y en cuanto a endurecerlas a mi me gusta utilizar un pegamento tipo superglue pero la clave es que sea suuuuuper líquido, tanto que parece agua. También uso shellac, antes de ponerme las zapatillas por primera vez les echo shellac y las dejo secarse unos dos días. Espero que te haya sido de ayuda :)

[@daniellecarruthers1967]

Do you just go through the satin or the actual shoe? Thank you so much, such a great video!!☺️

[@dpuntillas4610]

I go through the actual shoe so that the darning doesn’t move at All, with the use satin stops been so reliable. I help myself with the pocky so that when I go through with the needle the hole it’s already done :)

Hi! Where is the thread from?? Thanks for the video, i love how is explained💕

[@dpuntillas4610]

I‘m so glad you liked it 🤗 The thread that I use its 100% cotton, its the one that I personally find has the best grip and of course not slippery at all :) I usually buy it in a sewing store but this one from Amazon it’s also great www.amazon.com/algodón-cocinar-alimentos-cocinas-manualidades/dp/B06XDMQTD8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=cotton+string&pd_rd_r=ad9f399b-8fb3-499e-aa2b-83bd22653f65&pd_rd_w=3Epfs&pd_rd_wg=BFuyz&pf_rd_p=ce028c81-ed8c-425a-8404-93bf425aa8ce&pf_rd_r=184QGW0HQE370M0NC33M&qid=1640074542&sr=8-5

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I have a question, how thick is the strings? Could you give me a .... maybe number or something 😅😊
