Thanks for the video. I wondered about the whole use of glue when sewing paper and glad you mentioned not to use a tape runner but to use regular glue instead. I will remember that.

The nail file use is genius! Thanks

Not hard at all. I love ruffling the seam binding. Thank you Gi💝😇💝

Thanks so much for showing this. I was curious about how to do it. I didn’t think about using the double sided tape that it wouldn’t work. Thanks! God bless!

That is so clever to use the file to make the ruffles. You are so talented. Thank you for this fabulous tip and have a blessed day.

The wonders of the Algorithm put this video in my feed. This was a lovely tutorial. New sub! I look forward to exploring the rest of your channel.

I was totally doing this incorrectly. Thank you setting me on the correct path. 🤎🙂

Thanks for sharing this technique. Love the nail file idea. Definitely will have to try it out. Thanks again.

Thank you! Love the tip of using the metal nail file.

A simple process but so lovely. TYFS, Donna, in California.

Lovely. It just adds so much to your page. Thanks for sharing your talents..

Thank U Gi! Enjoy your weekend. Be Safe.

Prym has a double sided tape meant for fabric. I personally use this and it works very well without gumming up the needle. I love it.

Thankyou so much for showing how to do that and for the information you shared.

Happy to see I am doing the sewing correctly with the right needle etc. Good idea to use the nail file to use when threading binding under the needle to make the tuck. I use my fingers.... Taking a bug chance I know 😂... thank you Gi. Stay safe and well too. 💕

Such a great way to do ruffles. Thank You so much 😊

You make it look so simple and easy thank you

Using the file is genius!! Happy Holidays🌲🎅🦌🤶🎄☃️

I love what you've made this week TFS

Lovely....you make it look so easy...Thank you for sharing...Blessings 💖

Lovely video Gi Thank you x

thank you for the tip on what adhesive to use on your paper embellishments. good to know. tfs x

I love that you showed this. I do have a word of caution - experienced sewers know that you NEVER use your fabric scissors for paper or anything other than fabric, So if you do sew fabric keep your paper needles marked and separate, same goes for rotary cutting blades. Anything sharp dulls much more quickly cutting paper and other non-woven textiles. If you go to sew fabric with a dull needle you will have skipped stitches, tension issues and think your machine is damaged. Just a word of caution to new sewers who also love paper crafting, don't ask how I know this!!! LOL

Thank you I think I can…thank you

Gi, thanks for these wonderful tips here. I too am not a seamstress, but LOVE sewing with my papers and dyed fabrics, etc. It opened a whole new world for me! Thank you.

I wondered how the ruffles were made,thank you

Great tips and very useful info! TFS the inspiration!

I have paper templates with squares and circles that we used when someone was learning to sew. No thread, just following the lines. I have been trying to uncover my machine to do some sewing. Thanks for the video. Will try the paper when I get to the machine. The sewing just makes everything look more finished.

very lovely thank you so much for the informative tutorial

Thanks for the great information! I have been wanting to try it, bit just haven't made the jump. Now I feel confident!

Great ideas and pretty interesting

This is so simple ...

Thank you ☺️ 👍👍👍

Thank u so much for sharing such a great video 😍🌴

Informative video. Thank you

Thanks for the wonderful video,

Excellent tutorial!

Beautiful,thank you!

Love it❤ Thank you for the wonderful tips😀

Oh my goodness - THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!! I’m very grateful 🙏🏼❤️

très joli très bonne idée merci pour le partage bonne noel et bonne fete de fin d année a vous ..

You can use a little Fork like a pickle fork or condiment fork and use the X and rotate it the fork and make the bull Ruffles like that

Thanks for sharing💕💕

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Gi a great video, I haven't done any sewing for a while! All Christmas projects finished I can start again to build up my stash basket which is empty!

Gi Kerr you've done it again! Your advice is so helpful to this crafty old crone. Use a tiny needle to make small holes. duh.. Thank you so much!

Oh I love the idea with the mail file. So much better than glue. Thanks for sharing

Hi 🙋🏻 again, I don’t have a sewing machine! All your sewn things are sewn beautifully! They’re beautiful! Hugs!❤️

Thank you Gi x

Thanks for sharing that! I sew all the time and I can see this should not be to difficult. Thank you again! ❤

Thanks for showing your ruffle trick, I never thought of that and I struggle with those.

Lovely! 😃

Thanks so much for showing how to do the ruffled fabric or binding!!! I really needed this video!!!

Dearest Gi, I was hoping for this tutorial. I am very afraid to use the sewing machine and you have helped me a lot. Thanks for your invaluable help. A warm hug and good weekend. Rita from Italy

Great idea to use a file for creating the edge ruffle. I do it with my fingers which doesnt always result in even pleats. Thanks!!

TFS..merry Xmas

Thank you so much for the tips. The one time I tried it my paper fell apart, now I understand why.

Will definitely give this another try, sewing makes things look so professional, thanks Gi x

That is very similar to how I do it but I use my fingers. I think I may try it your way and see how I do with it! Great job!

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to see a demonstration of this process.

Thank you so much Gi. I really really love ❤️ how those things have turned out, this is really really helpful and useful too. And I agree it looks really professional too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Been making ephemera all week and needed new ideals for my journal gifts & journals YAY,,, so happy for your tutorial now I'm ready for my mass make on your lovelies. Thanks for sharing. :)

Lovely embellishments! Great tutorial! Thanks!

L O V E , so sweet, your embellishment had a ruffled skirt on, adorable, tfs, hugs

How pretty, love how you scrunch the material into a ruffle. I put a tiny drop of glue with a toothpick on ends of thread so don't have to tie them to keep from unraveling over time.

Thank you, I've tried sewing onto paper but admit that I'm not exactly gifted when it comes to staying straight. More practice needed I think. Stay safe x

Thank you for sharing!!👍

Sew many great ideas!! Thank you G!

Thanks for sharing this! Great tips! ❤😊

Thank you so much for showing how to do this.

You help me so much. I am new to making journals and do love it.

Thank you so much. I'm don't see so this was remarkable too learn how you do this technique

I need to get my sewing machine out again after Christmas I’ll have room and time tfs xxx💕

Love how simple this is Gi, i will have a go.Tfs Hugs xxx Sonja

Great tutorial, so easy and very pretty ❤️

Thanks for showing how you sew your embellishments. What is the set up of your thread (tension and length of each point) please ?

Thanks for sharing so informative and so professional when it is done . Happy Holidays Gi!

Is there something you do to your seam binding to prepare it before use? The seam binding I buy at fabric stores or while thrifting in USA seems different...not quite as crinkly, soft, silky...or something. I like the texture of yours and wonder how to duplicate. Thank you for sharing your process with devoted followers such as myself. The only problem is, I like to spend time watching you so much, I am not spending time at my own craft table!

Your work is lovely. Tfs I've sewn on fabric for most of my life, but am really struggling to sew on paper. I was given a sewing machine to use for paper, so I'm not sure if the problem is the machine or me. lol I'll have to try sewing paper on my fabric machine and maybe I'll get my answer.

I absolutely love your channel. But the lighting was a bit dark

Precioso ,como teñir las telas?

TFS! I’m a seamstress so good back tension is very important to me. I’m still searching for thread that provides even tension. Adjusting the bobbin and top tension doesn’t make any improvement. Any suggestions? Nite/suggestions: If you keep the bulk of your materials to the left/outside area you will find it easier to stitch straight. I enjoy your site and tutorials!

I forgot to ask what kind of thread do you use? cotton or nylon? Needle n. 75. Thank tuo very much. Rita

I do sew too, but I have trouble to find the right tension when I sew with my machine. My tread is weird on the paper! 🤔🙄

What machine settings do you use, i.e., tension etc

👍👍👍💕💕💕🎄🇩🇰

Was that a pattern on the paper or did you add embellishments before sewing it?Thank u
