A 16 x 26 pouch like this PLEASE 😊❤❤❤

I made your bag it turned out really sweet thank you

I did use tear away stabilizer as the written instructions gave, but will for sure use the water soluble next time and I need to do a better job cutting where the turn opening is, as mine didn't have enough to do a proper turning in. So I had to "wing it" for my first attempt on this cute bag. Thank you for the excellent video!

You're welcome Bobbi. To be honest I never use tear away I don't find it holds up well, so I only use either cut away or wash away. I am sure your next one will work out fine, sometimes you have to stitch one out to get the feel of it then you nail it.

@KaysCutz

4 жыл бұрын

The small squizzors are my cant live without scissors. I dont know where you are in the world but if you can get Artimio brand they are the very best in my opinion (French brand) Here is a link to them. They are inexpensive, stay sharp, cut through quite thick layers and comfortable in my hand. The reason I like these best is because they have slightly thinner tips than other brands and slide nicely into tiny corners and I have fewer oops moments as they dont seem to want to cut stitching when I am trimming up close to the stitch lines as you can see in my vids they cut smoothly. Here is a link to them. www.lafourmicreative.fr/outillage-a-main/5420-ciseaux-pince-droits-artemio-11-5-cm-8713995512152.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw_uDsBRAMEiwAaFiHa3h6ZyoqWvQUZZ2LYL2hVS-8MJIe_3mVSxbn91h81XLOxGhCYA5R2BoCS88QAvD_BwE

Do you think it would be easier to turn through if the opening was at the bottom? Is there any chance you could look into to this please? Many thanks.

You do such great videos. I have a question about why you would use wash away (2 layers) instead of cut away or tear away? Where are you ordering the lace zippers from?? THANKS.

@KaysCutz

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mary, you use two layers because the stabilizer is the foundation of your building, it is there to stop the fabric from stretching and skewing as it stitches and often one layer isn't enough. The more solid your foundation the neater your stitching will be because it stabilizes everything. I used wash away stabilizer because if you advance to timestamp 10:15 you will see you have to cut the stabilizer away and using cut away would mean that you wouldn't be able to cut it away completely, some of it would always show. I never use tear away as I find it isn't very strong and in my opinion it doesn't do a good enough job of stabilizing and has a tendency to tear during stitching. I hope that helps you. Happy stitching

Hi Anne, no I leave it in and wait until it needs washing. I do wash my fabrics so they don't shrink after they are washed though. If I am gifting something I include a note saying... This item contains water soluble stabilizer, it will wash out in warm water but after only one wash it could feel a bit stiff once it dries. This is perfectly normal, until it is all washed out, so if it feels stiff wash it once more. Once the stabilizer has all disappeared it will return to it's soft and supple state again.

@KaysCutz

4 жыл бұрын

You might be stretching your stabilizer too tight in the hoop. If you stretch it too tight when you release it from the hoop it will relax and that can cause the problem that you are describing. Your stabilizer should be held firmly in the hoop but don't pull on it when you hoop it. I know many people say it should be drum tight but I would argue that pulling stabilizer that tight stretches it and it isnt necessary. Have a look at my video on stabilizing. I will be updating this one soon to add pins around the top of the hoop and to use two layers if using wash away stabilizer but the hooping advice still stands. I hope this helps kzread.info/dash/bejne/k22D2MashM6ypLg.html

How many pieces of washaway stabilizer did you use when you first hooped it?

I use 2 wash away pieces or you can use one layer of cut away or 1 layer of no show/invisible mesh depending on the brand if you prefer. I don't recommend tear away as it doesn't hold up well to any satin stitch and if you wash it it can go lumpy with tear away so yeah I am not a fan of it for embroidery.

Why don't you use tear-away stabilizer?

@KaysCutz

4 ай бұрын

I just don’t like it because it tends to tear and has let me down too often, it is too unreliable especially if something has even a tiny amount of satin stitching in it . Also it isn’t very nice once you wash the item if you can’t pick it all out as it can go really lumpy. I prefer to use cut away or wash away as it either washes out completely or says in forever without breaking down and affecting the long term quality of the item. As stabiliser it is the very foundation to the end results of my embroidery I want something that does the job properly as I am paying out for batting fabric and threads and it isn’t cheap, so a failed foundation is a big waste of money and also materials so I don’t risk it just to save a few cents. The way I see it is you wouldn’t build your house without a decent solid foundation and it’s the same for embroidery. I prefer to save money elsewhere for my embroidery. To be honest I only ever use tear away if I am planning out fabric scraps for a crazy patch project as I can stitch out the fabric placement lines onto it and then cut them up and then I know what my scraps will look like together and they will be the right size. It’s personal choice. I hope this answers your question. Happy stitching.
