Tutorial , How I line My Finished Plaid /Bucilla Felt Stockings

[@12bookit]

When I started making my bucilla stockings there was no such thing as the internet. And now due to the internet I see other's ideas and I love this!

[@michelleannewood]

That’s how it was for me too. I started in 1996. I bought embroidery books from the bookstore. That’s how I learned 🙂

[@SkiShells]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I used it on my first stocking kit, which I just finished and it looks so nice thanks to the lining. I’m a novice sewist but your instructions are simple and clear so even I could do it. Thank you so much.

[@jenniferkarasarides4180]

I am ready to line my latest stocking so I revisited your helpful video. So glad I did! I had forgotten about folding down the top edge. I would have been crushed if I had ruined my perfect fat quarter. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and many helpful ideas!!!

[@LEB73323]

I use 4lb Crystal Fireline to sew 99% of my stockings. The line is clear and disappears into the felt. I never see the line unless my stitches are too big. Changing threads is no usually necessary. The other thing I do is use #11 Miyuki Delica beads - silver lined - in the colors the sequins are. The clear beads supplied are not good - broken and a lot of them drilled too small for a beading needle to go through. I love the dressed up hang tag you do! Imma steal that idea! 🙂

Thank you!!! Great tutorial!! I'm finishing my first Bucilla sticking for my 6 year old daughter and knew I needed a lining since I didn't do the best stitching. This is perfect!!

[@michelleannewood]

So glad I could help :)

[@theeyesehaveit]

Me too.

[@LEB73323]

The lining protects the knots and long stitches from getting broken. I have been doing beadwork for more than 50 years, and I ALWAYS use something to protect the knots. If you can, use a Fabri-fix adhesive on your knots before lining the stocking. I like fleece for lining too - it doesn't ravel.

[@theeyesehaveit]

I’ve made so many of these when I was younger. Never lined them 😪…now making a Bucilla stocking for my great grandson. And decided my stitching on the backside needed help…..concealing them. You demonstration is soooooo helpful and your instructions are very easy to follow. TY.

[@michelleannewood]

Thank you 💐 I appreciate you saying that so much.

[@jessicawheat2777]

Love it. Thank you sooooo much. I discovered Bucilla just about a month ago. Needless to say I am hooked.

[@JenniferGoodTGL]

I'm still gathering my fat quarters fit all our family stockings so I can go back and line them! Thank for the easy tutorial❤

[@michelleannewood]

Jennifer Good , I’m so glad it was useful to you :) I love finding the perfect fabric for each stocking 💜

[@nitamacey7929]

Thank you, I’m working on my first felt stockings. Your instructions look very easy to follow

[@T_M_13]

Love this! I am stitching my first of three stockings and wanted to have a more finished look. This might be too ambitious, but I want to try it anyway and this made it seem easy and more manageable than I thought! Thank you!

[@michelleannewood]

It’s so fun to find matching fabric 🙂Have fun.

[@buttrdish6952]

EXCELLENT and to the point!! THANK YOU!!!!!! ❤

[@courtney2590]

I just discovered these and now I want to make one for everyone I know

[@michelleannewood]

I highly recommend making them for everyone you know. They are very special gifts. Everyone young and old just love them.

[@irenestrienfeld6696]

That is great, looks better and protects, thanks!

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@mauibud]

Great idea!

[@toniburr8357]

Thank you for this tip, making a stocking now so plan on lining it when done. What seam allowance did you use?

[@michelleannewood]

Toni Burr , Hi! Seam allowance is 1/4 inch :)

[@adrianaboepple3148]

Great video. Thanks for making it. Just one question. When sewing the lining together what seam allowance did you use? Thank you.

[@michelleannewood]

Adriana Boepple , Hi ! :) it’s an 1/8 of an inch.

[@barbarapierce4987]

Thank you! this was so helpful

[@michelleannewood]

I’m so glad :) Thank you for the feedback.

[@debylock100]

Thank you!

[@ninoskae]

Great idea! Going on round two making them now for grandkids! Started lining them with felt but this is much nicer! Thanks 😉! Oh and what is the tiny sewing machine I spied?!

[@michelleannewood]

That little machine is a New Home Janome . It’s a small light weight machine I just use for lining stockings. I love it! I’ve had it for about 3 years now. Never an issue. Easy to use. I bought mine on Amazon. There are different colors too 😃

[@chairbear89]

Hello, I don’t know if I missed it, but what is this stocking called?!? It’s AMAZING!

[@michelleannewood]

It is the Let it Snow Bucilla stocking. Designed by Mary Engelbreit. It is a retired kit.

[@chairbear89]

@@michelleannewood thank you!!!!!!!

[@victoriab1370]

Love this video! Watching for the fifth or sixth time. ☺️. I have almost completed my Cupcake Angel stocking and I am wondering, where do you get your ideas for the fancy tabs you create? Someday would you do a tutorial on the those? Happy Stitching Michelle and thank you!🌲

[@michelleannewood]

Hi! Thank you for the feedback!!!💐 I did make a video on how I do my hang tabs… I think it’s on KZbin. I’ll go check. If not I’ll upload it for you. 🙂💜

Thanks for this video! Can you recommend a beginners sewing machine that can handle sewing the felt stockings? I would really like to try my hand at a sewing machine. Thanks!

[@michelleannewood]

I have a small machine that I use. It’s a New Home Janome machine. Light weight and easy to use. Comes in many different colors too. I found mine on Amazon.

[@Esther-nv9zh]

@@michelleannewood Thanks, I'll check it out!

[@babyblues8679]

Thank you for the tutorial! Do you also line or reinforce the hang tab?

[@michelleannewood]

Hi! The hang tab is 2 layers of felt.

[@barbaraadams8219]

What is that little machine you have? That would so handy.

Hi Michelle, I am in Alberta, Canada, Do you have any idea where I can order fat quarters?

[@michelleannewood]

Hi Elsie, I can ask around on a Facebook page I’m on. I’ll get back to you if I get an answer from someone up your way🙂

[@charlenenugent6202]

Where do you get your fat lining that come in the pack? Thanks

[@michelleannewood]

Hi Charlene, I buy fat quarter bundles at Hobby Lobby and on eBay 🙂

[@kadohutch]

I don’t have a sewing machine, how should I stitch together my lining pieces? Whipstitch?

[@michelleannewood]

Hi🙂 You can do a whip stitch or blanket stitch. I stitched linings by hand for a few years , before I had a machine. They’ve help up well.

[@kadohutch]

@@michelleannewood ok great thank you! First stocking so don’t have all the usual supplies yet :) Your tutorials are so so helpful for newbies like me, thank you for taking the time and care to make them!
