Great video. Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Marilyn

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!! I’ve got one simple wool penny rug in process but have several kits waiting in the wings. I had trouble getting needles through the adhesive I used. Then I noticed Lisa Bongean mentioned sheerweight bonding which I’ll use going forward. I was fortunate enough to visit Primitive Gatherings a few months ago and bought their wool appliqué needles. They are great and I am able to pierce the heavier bonding with them. ✂️🪡🧵

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you for the tip! I’m always grateful for others sharing their knowledge of our favorite hobbies! I’ll look for the sheer weight bonding 🥰

I just purchased a set of kits on wool applique. I cant wait to get started!

Thank you, Katie!❤

Great tips!! I LOVE WOOL APPLIQUE and love your projects!! So glad people are doing more of it and WOOLY WEDNESDAYS are a great new trend. (Although every day is wool day at my house) I used to use heat and bond lite but had issues with pieces falling off so I switched to soft fuse which was GREAT but it isn't available right now so it was suggested to switched to Flexi Fuse and I like it just as much!! Thank you for showing and promoting WOOL❤

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you so much! So many great tips and products out there to try! I’m constantly learning new things. I love that everyday is wool for you! 🥰

[@Sewtattered]

That’s so great! That sounds adorable 🥰

Another saved one for my playlist thank you Katie. I love watching and it’s the way I like to learn. Thanks for the tutorials and taking time to share with us.

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Lynda!

[@teresajenningsoldstoneycreek]

Thank you so much!!! I have a kit waiting for me and I have been intimidated by starting it because I was nervous about cutting the woo!😜

[@Sewtattered]

Oh I completely understand that! It’s very stressful cutting into beautiful wool! It’ll be worth it! 😂♥️

[@maureenmoore4104]

Thanks for the tutorial, Katy! It was really helpful! Would love to see how you do your whip stitch or blanket stitch. I struggle with the blanket stitch. Going to do a wool appliqué Christmas project!!!! Wish me luck!

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Maureen! Good luck with your project! I’ll see what I can do about another tutorial 🥰

[@maureenmoore4104]

@@Sewtattered That would be great, Katie!

[@ruthiedurbin1395]

Thank you for this video! I’m hoping to start my first kitted project soon. ❤

[@Sewtattered]

That’s so exciting! ♥️

[@moosecraftusa]

Great video! It actually never occurred to me to use different types of fusables for one piece! lol! Thanks for all your tips and tricks!

[@michellelittle7898]

Thanks so much. I recently purchased a Buttermilk Basin wool appliqué kit and have never appliquéd before! You’ve given me the perfect “basics” to start this new craft.

[@heartlandstitcher9825]

Thank you for these tips. I wasn't sure how the freezer paper worked, so Now I know! Great tips!

[@Sewtattered]

Oh good! 🥰♥️

[@sharonhendrix3864]

I’ve been ‘collecting’ wool kits, patterns, books, wool, all types of supplies for a loooong time now and have been too intimated to start - you have really broken the steps down to where I think I finally have the ‘courage’ to start a small project…..thank you Sweet Girl! I’m so happy you started making flosstubes❣️❤️❤️❤️

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you so much, Sharon! ♥️

[@gailblain5282]

❤ the button mat! Another great tutorial Katie! I have been collecting some thrifted wool to try my hand at dying. It’s amazing how much wool is in a Pendleton wool skirt. I always enjoy watching what you’re stitching 😊

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Gail! Thrifted wool is the best! ♥️

[@ElleSnapsAndStitch]

Thank you!! ❤

[@j.a.devanney7523]

Thank you for the concise and informative overview of wool appliqué. You are helping me get over the reluctance to try. I have freezer paper but did not know about the others. Also a great tip on scissors, I was going to use what I have but they would be cumbersome. Can’t wait to see your finished product. Thanks.

[@sandyalford9456]

Thanks for your tips. I’m going to need them, as because of your enabling, I have Primitive Gatherings as my new best friend! I will have to go back and add some needles to my cart! Along with a couple kits and patterns and 2 books. What a delightful rabbit hole to fall into!

[@Sewtattered]

I love it Sandy! So fun to do all things stitchy with friends!

[@denises9455]

So cute

[@rhondazamora8136]

Thanks for the instruction and inspiration. You have encouraged (enabled) me. My Chenille-It order arrived today. I purchased 3 Buttermilk Basin books, lots of gorgeous wools and needles. Now I need better scissors and that Valdani thread is so pretty. . .

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Rhonda! It sounds like you are ready for some fun stitching! 🥰

[@bluebonnet88]

Thanks for sharing! Great tutorial Katie! ❤

[@michelegibbs9261]

Thank you soo much for starting with the basics. Have always wanted to try wool appliqué.

[@julienichols9712]

WOW! Amazing! Learn something new everyday! Thank you ❤

[@cliffsheeler4012]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I just started some ornaments and the directions aren't very clear. You cleared it up for me. Becky

[@Sewtattered]

That’s great to hear, Becky! Thank you for watching and for commenting 🥰♥️

[@janet_idleknot]

Thanks for the overview, Katie!

[@syndikowalik1782]

Great tips!! Can you do a tutorial on the big button from your opening picture?? Please..... So many ideas for this but not sure how it went together. Keep up the great videos.😀

[@Sewtattered]

Oh my, it’s been years since I made that one and I gave it to my aunt. I’ll look at the pattern again. It’s similar to a penny mat I’m sure. ♥️

[@joanneseeger5271]

Thank you for sharing your tips!

[@vickiinkansas1399]

Great video. I use SF101 on the back of hand embroidery. I adhere it before tracing the design. It gives the project some substance when stitching and it keeps your knots or threads you may have carried from showing on the front.

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Vicki! I use to do a lot of embroidery and that is a great use for it! I’d like to get back into embroidery again. I love the beautiful stitches.

[@kathierichards3531]

Thank you so much - very encouraging!

[@flowerpowerritter-kj2fb]

Thanks fir the super great info.. I just received a Christmas Pudding Pin Keep kit… only the pattern was not included ..yikes.. contacted company.. hopefully they can send the pattern .. or I think I can free draw the icing for the top … my first attempt at wool appliqué .. fingers crossed

[@Sewtattered]

Oh no! I hope they sent it to you! Not the best way to experience your first wool project. ♥️

[@janieharner5136]

Hey! I’m really enjoying “how to” shorts! Thank you. Could you possibly do a cording or Rick rack tutorial? Thank you! Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Janie! I’ve never used Rick rack in finishing before. You and I are going to have to learn that one together 🥰

[@joannemcniven5749]

Thank you! I would love to see more of your pieces! I did pieces years ago and recently bought little stockings. What magazine did the gingerbread set come out of!

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you for watching! I love making little stockings! The book is Ornament Extravaganza 2 by buttermilk basin. ❤

[@carolynnicholls7551]

Thanks for the video!!! Another hobby to try! Where do you get your wool & patterns from? Thanks again.

[@Sewtattered]

Hi Carolyn! I get most of the patterns from books on Amazon. For a beginner I’d highly recommend getting kits from either buttermilk basin or primitive gatherings. They have great kits!

[@jenniferleetucker1841]

Hello!!! Thanks so much for this tutorial it was was great and very informative…just wondering what book you got the pattern from as I would love to do these for Xmas…also where did you purchase your wool material from? Could you use felt to make these also? Thanks again I have been following you from the beginning…you are such an inspiration Jenny Australia 💚

[@Sewtattered]

Hi Jenny! Thank you for following me! I get my wool from different shops on Etsy, Primitive Gatherings, Buttermilk Basin, just about any place I can find it. The last few times, I have ordered from Winterberry Cabin on Etsy. You could also use felt. The book is Ornament Extravaganza 2 by Buttermilk Basin. They have several of these books and you can buy kits on their website. ❤

Wow! Been wanting to do wool appliance for forever and have bought kits from Primitive Gatherings and just haven't started any. Now I will. Loved the opening picture of the wool button and buttons around it. Was that your design??

[@Sewtattered]

Thank you, Jacqueline! It’s from the Sew Many Notions book by Debbie Busby. Great book!

[@amybarry3807]

I would love to try this. But, I am allergic to wool.
