Oh god! I just literally said that, right where your folding the 1st lot of Aida into a semi circle shape, then heh, you just push & squish it down into the bottle, classic! This is the most ludicrously funny ‘how to’ I’ve ever seen, which teaches me all the things not to do by doing them, ALL of them!

I am so happy that you posted this tutorial!! I am calling my sister this weekend to see if she wants to try to dye fabric with me! I would never have had the confidence to try without your video!!!! Thank you!!!!

Did you give it a try? I am so curious to see how everyone's fabric turns out

Hi Kathleen, congratulations on dyeing your own fabric, it turned out really good. I used to dye fabric and t-shirts when I was a teenager and I really had fun with it then. What I wish for nowadays is that the Rit Dye company would make and sell much smaller bottles of the dye. You only need a couple of cap fulls so buying an entire bottle is so much dye. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had a variety pack of colours sold in little tiny bottles. Thanks for doing this fun video and looking forward to your next. Stay well!

I would LOVE if there was a mini set! I would definitely buy that, such a good idea

Good video, I like the spiral effect from the middle of your fabric outwards that you get with scrunching your fabric the way you do. I too also like chipmunk voice Kathleen!!

Thank you for all the information. I've got some old lace, doilies and linens that I was to try to die and get some colors onto it. Also thank you for mentioning Rit's website for more info on colors...very helpful. Thank you for making this video.

Beautiful pieces, wow. Thanks for showing how easy it is as long as you don't mind a little mess.

I want to Rit dye but I’ve been so nervous about it! This helps A LOT!

A quick tip I saw on a other floss tube last year....they used dollar store puppy training pads ( a package of I think 15 was $1.25) to cover your counter or table works great and no mess to clean up just fold and throw out and the dye doesn't go thru...genius!! Great video!!

Great tip I have a box of puppy pads that I can use thanks!

Wow! I never knew you couldn’t use something you put dye in! I’ve never dyed anything but you make it look easy!

Such a great tutorial and your fabrics are beautiful! Thanks Kathleen!

You did an AMAZING DEMO!

I love dying fabric. I love your results. They look great.

Absolutely beautifully done. Thanks for your video.

Those turned out amazing.

Your fabric came out really well! Lovely colours 😍x

So easy.... and it turned out so pretty!

Great video 😊 I'm planning to dye my fabric for the first time and this is a great help getting started!

I am currently binge watching all your episodes as i am also a beginner stitcher, you are so amazing, so excited to have a Canadian floss tube, i have been writing down all the stores and links. I so want to be a CSI....lolo..thank you for taking the time to do flosstubes....from cold Saskatchewan......lolol

Thanks for explaining all the details. I've leaned a lot from this video.

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have coffee dyed and tea dyed, so my next step was to try Rit dye. You made it look easy, so I am anxious to try it out, maybe this weekend.

Good luck! Sometimes I put my fabric back in the dye if I don't think it is dark enough because it always looks darker than it actually is when it is wet. If I like how it looks wet then I put it back in for another 5 minutes or so.

This was helpful!! Thank you!!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Thanks

Thanks for the great tutorial Kathleen. I have only ever dyed fabric to a solid colour, never mottled, so I'm super keen to give it a go. A hot tip from April May June stitcher, if you're not happy with the result, just bleach it and try again. It works a treat. You can also store the mixed up dye and use it again. I have some old jars that I keep it in, then heat it up in an old pot and off I go again. So fun!

Thanks for the tutorial, Kathleen! I'm a little nervous to try dyeing. My utility sink is make of a white plastic. I'm pretty sure any dye would discolor it. I want to replace it with a stainless steel sink. Mmm maybe that is how to get it done! 😄

Can you use plastic spoon instead of metal?

I got dye for Christmas. I found plastic spoons on clearance & used old cottage cheese & sour cream containers. Now there’s a box in the garage labeled to not use the contents for food purposes.

Amazing! Sour cream containers are a great idea!

Great Tutorial 🤗 But I'm wondering if it may be brighter if you had of used salt 🧂 🤔! I'm not sure if it makes the fabric color last longer but I've heard that it makes the fabric more accepting of the dye... Salt in natural fibers & vinegar in synthetic fibers. Again great tutorial. Thanks for Sharing... 🤗😊❤😊🤗

Hello maam . Is it possible that the dye will stain on the done cross stitch ? If you wash it ?

@stitchuationnormal7082

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is possible that it might run if you wash it after stitching. I don’t wash my hand dyed fabrics because it very well could run

Do you have a sprinkle dye powder for mottled effect

I haven’t tried that before but I’m curious about it

Why can’t you use glass or stainless steel for food again? I can see not using plastic but glass & ss??

Can I wash my project when it is complete?
