So cute!. I saw an earlier face video you did and I made a darling bookmark. I also used your directions from an earlier video for making a notebook cover and I used that to cover a basic black and white composition book. It was so much easier and nicer looking than previous covers I have used. By the way, I slow stitch and made the whole cover by hand. I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Thanks for the inspiration and tutorials.

I love your videos so much! I tried doing the free style sewing, but it was so hard. Could you do a trouble shooting video for that technique? I bought the right foot, but it was still hard. Maybe I had a problem with tension because there were loops underneath the fabric.

6 ай бұрын

Hi Brenda, You sound like me with boxes of " what am I going to do with this and what was I thinking"! This journal cover would have looked cool with sequins. I think I would attached using clear thread and a zigzag big enough to span the width of the tape. Hope that makes sense. Have a great day! Julia

Very cute! Just wondering how the sewing through the Heat n Bond ultra was? I’ve heard others say it’s difficult to sew through, that it makes the needle sticky.

@stitchesbyjulia

4 ай бұрын

Hi, I don't have problems but I know others do. I usually do simple stitching ( straight stitch or zigzag- no decorative) If the needle gets gummy, it can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol.

I love all your art.. especially the “goofyness”. I should keep my trap shut but I prefer your art & some others over great artists…I’m that 94 year old who loves to watch your videos. Margy😄

Hi Julia I am your big fan Could you pls tell me how do you rip the ends of this canvas cloth When i cut them with scissors the ends are clean Thanks

@stitchesbyjulia

6 ай бұрын

Hi. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos. When I rip my canvas, I first take my scissors and snip approximately an inch in where I want to rip. I then with my hands , I rip the canvas. It should rip straight if it's woven on grain. It it's too hard to rip, I'll make my snip a bit bigger. Ripping gives the canvas a beautiful fray. I hope this helps. I will try to remember to demonstrate it in a video. Thanks so much for watching, Julia
