[@sonyakennedy7324]

Oh, Lawd, now I have to figure out how to sneak an embroidery machine into the house without my husband noticing...I wasn't really too interested, but this is inspiring:)

[@TockCustom]

lol, just throw a blanket over it and tell him it's a surprise for him... and then never give him anything! It's a brilliant strategy :) Thanks for watching, hope you have a great weekend!!

[@lindacefai438]

Isn’t it ironic that hubby does not notice you have had haircut, cleaned house etc but try to sneak one thing in the house and he is a detective sniffing it out. Lol.

[@mcd5478]

Same girl!! The struggle is real.

hoop it

[@Bigwooo913]

I have absolutely zero intentions of doing anything embroidery related anytime soon. Or anytime in the far off distant future for that matter. I just taught myself (with the help of someone's vids) how to use a sewing machine last week and just hemmed my first pair of pants a few days ago, for cryin out loud. Yet, I watched every single one of the 1,514 seconds of this video. That's what I call captivating your audience, well done sir. Respect!!!

[@yolandasotolopez]

This is one of the best video tutorials I have ever seen.. and I've seen and made a lot. Great info, pace of instruction and of course great outcome. Thanks for sharing.

[@TockCustom]

Wow... thank you for such a fantastic compliment! I'm still very new at making tutorials so this really means a lot, I really appreciate you taking the time to share some positivity with me :) Hope you're having a wonderful week!!

[@kiyahbeauty9929]

ALL of his videos are GREAT I'm a Beginner Sewist and came upon his videos trying to learn how to sew he been a GREAT help

[@grandmalovesmebest]

I'm loving the video that you never hear the presenter say "I'm SO excited to tell you/show you . . ." And "Let's get into it," And "go ahead and . . . Then go ahead and . . .", Go ahead and," And " I'm going to . . ., Then I'm going to . . ., then I'm going to . . .". Eeeeeeeeeeeeed! For God's sake, take a class in presentation. Oh, yes, and drop "you guys." You aren't in the ghetto you know.

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Not YOU, I'm just agreeing your vid is great and saying what I wish ppl wouldn't do. So many ppl picked up very poor speech patterns, along w not having a clue as to how to do a presentation. Thank you for giving your presentation some thought as opposed to rolling out of bed, apologizing for not being ready, telling us about your recent illness, apologizing for your camera not working, or droning on about your kids.😥

[@marciahamby3249]

This is the best beginner video ever! I love how you don't talk too fast and you speak clearly and loud enough for the mic to pick you up. Also like that you have yourself facing us in the camera, so we can actually see who is teaching! I have spent all day watching videos on how to do this just like you're showing, and literally, you are the only one who actually finishes the project! I mean all the way to cutting it out! I am subscribing!! Thank you so much!!

[@BobbieBTexas]

Awesome I’m new just got my pe800 and watching every video I can . Clear speaking no music and great tips. Thank you

[@cangel201]

Thank you!!!! You have no idea how many videos I watched and nobody explained how to actually finish the patch. You just got a new subscriber. No unnecessary talking. 👍

[@danielledaniels6630]

You showed one of the easiest ways to apply stabilizer without gumming up the hoop! Definitely gonna use this technique! Thank you!

[@ellescrapper]

I really want to thank you, because your video is the only one that has shown close up in what you was doing on your PE-770 and you didn't show a sample already done, youshowed exactly how to do it. Thank you so much. I will share your channel. In His Grace Lorisa

Awesome tutorial. Thank you. Cant wait to start making my car club patches!!!

[@lois2911]

Thank you for your efforts. One good tip to make border cleanup or residue less noticeable, is to use a base fabric of the same color as the border. You could also use acrylic paint in the same color as the border mixed with fabric paint applied to the edges after cutting to help not only to hide residue, but to seal edges. Liquid sealants could also help.😊 Thumb's up too.

This is quite a bizarre comment. I understand you want people to have more robust machines, but the difference in price is between a $700 machine, and a $12,000+ machine. Very significant difference, especially dependent on people's crafting goals.

I''ve had the thread wrap around the post, too. I've started flipping the spools over (the ones with the cone-like base) so that the bottom is to the left, and that's helped preventing wrapping around that post.

[@1949chefjojo]

Sometimes the Thread wraps around the spoil itself, But it can be avoided by placing the felt first and then the spool. The thread will not break. Flawless!

[@TockCustom]

That's a great idea. Typically the felt is used for when you do "Double Needle" stitching, which is fairly advanced, but if you can get it work on embroidery that's a huge bonus :)
