Boricua Sewing & Crafts

Hello There!!!! Welcome to my channel! I'm Jeanette and love making unique items using embroidery, sewing, and other great techniques!

My channel's mission is to build a community where viewers who love to embroider and sew can learn about different techniques. I also want to educate and help current and new embroiders who are interested in learning and developing great embroidery skills.

This channel is great for beginners and established embroiders. I share information about different techniques and also provide advice on how to run your own embroidery business. I believe that anyone who is interested in learning these skills can do it. I love teaching, and encouraging others to chase after their dreams.

I host Embroidery Happy Hour every Friday at 8 p.m. EST so I can share information and advice! It's a great community to meet other folks who share this interest.

Let's all be successful together!

    Janette, I never leave comments on videos, but I had to give you a shout-out. Your tip on using double stick tape, along with sticky back stabilizer SAVED MY LIFE!!! No matter what I did, my registration was off at the end of my design because the lining fabric on the backpack I was working on are too slick to keep the backpack in place. The zippers on the backpack made it so that I couldn't use clips to hold the backpack in place either. I was about to give up and tell the customer I couldn't complete their order. Then I found your video--what a lifesaver! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Stevie.

    Thank you Jeanette for this Q &A. I like using simthread pre-wound bobbins and stabilizers but i am particular about NewBrothread self adhesive sticky stabilizer. I do a combination of NewBrothread polyester threads, Madeira rayon threads and mH rayon threads. Needles are Organ all the way with a little schmetz here and there. I have more of favourite colours instead of colour 😂. I love Brother Embroidery machines for their ease of use and durability. They are work horses too.

  • @BoricuaSewingCrafts

    I agree. The only thing with small claims court is that it does that money to file and lots of time. You have to make sure that you have all your documentation. You have to be very careful on how you take and process orders. There are a lot of folks out there that are scammers.

    Blessed evening, Jeanette I have a question, its bean a year since you tried the plastic sheeting for patches. What is your opinion on it? Dose it last after washing and drying, and can you iron it without the plastic melting? Did you like the substitution for the polytwill? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us at the same time. 💯🏆🥰🙏

  • @BoricuaSewingCrafts
    @BoricuaSewingCrafts14 күн бұрын

    Hi. It depends on how you are going to use the patch. If you are placing it on a hat it’s good. If it’s for clothes or something that is going to be washed a lot use the poly twill.
