What a great idea, flocking the hoop. I will have to find out where I get the flocking tape. Thanks for watching. G

Hi, thanks for watching, of course you can make any size label you like. Remember you will be using word on your computer so you can make it in any typeface you like, also you could add in flowers or anything to make it more interesting if you like. Have fun G

Hi, thanks for watching, you set the ink with a hot iron.

I had been doing it for years, then thought I would put it on TH-cam, it went viral. Had no idea how many people would find it as easy as I had. I am so glad it works for you. Maybe if you share it, it may help friends. Don't forget, if you have a colour printer, it also works, and you can add designs into it, like flowers from the computer. I have had so much fun with it over the years, its so professional also. Thanks for watching., I do appreciate it Gwendoline.

@ it’s looks so professional and it’s easy peasy , I’m actually thinking of redoing it and being more adventurous . Many thanks for sharing .x

Hi Thanks for watching, yes you can change the tension and spend a long time getting it right. Always write down all tensions that you use for each project, I have a book for my sewing machine and overlocker, just to write down all sorts of little bits of info that I know I will forget, like tensions for different fabric or projects, and setting. I like to give a honest opinion on things so we can then make a decision for ourself without the hype that companies marketing gets everyone whipped up about, after all that how I bought mine in the first place. Its not to dish the company. Thanks again for watching, it really helps me grow the channel. Gwendoline

Thank you so much for watching, I do try to give feed back on products that a real review. It is all about people making their own mind up., we spend a lot of money on products. It's nice to know if a product will really help us or not. The maxi hoop is good if you want a big hoop. Thanks again for watching.x

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, always nice to have comments from my viewers . x

Thanks for watching, love feed back. Think thats the best move. G

Hi, I did have to think for a bit about this dress, as its been sometime since I made it. The main dress without the ties was a good fit, although if I made it again, I would do it in stretch material, without ties. The problem with this dress is the ties. They had both ties stitched on one side, the tie running along the back was never going to keep in place with a woven fabric, far too long piece of material, just kept getting very loos, as did the front, it was just a bad design. One of Lutterloh staff, that keeps an eye on what people do on TH-cam watched what I said. She then made the dress up again, and showed just the front on the dress on Lutterloh site, people thought what she did was amazing, she completely undermined what I did, but she did not however showed the back. Lutterloh have different designers, as all companies do, some patterns fit you better than others. So you do always have to test what you make before you cut out,. I made a dress that was fitted in stretch fabric, put ties on each side of the front so it ties in the middle, people think its a designer dress out of the shop. It is from a patter from another company, but its the same dress really, just ties at each side tying in the middle. Thanks for your feedback it is most appreciated, I think you quickly got what I was doing. Thanks again. G

@@lifestylesew thank you for responding. Without adjustments this pattern will be a nightmare. The designer came up in Pinterest, made the dress from a very soft material, maybe it was a knit or it could have been rayon. It draped very well. Thanks again for trying and a honest review of the patterns. I enjoy and learn from your hard work. I bought the system in 1995 and used it then. Years later, I now need to do so many adjustments. It comes with age I suppose. Where are the days I could just use a pattern straight out of the envelope???

Thanks for replying, it can be funny sometimes, good job I knew how to fix it. Thats what my videos are all about really, showing people things that happen to us all. I have not done a Lutterloh for a long time, but am planning on doing one soon.

I dont know after several washers. I tested a sample, and it didn't fad at all, the fabric did.. Most people don't wash their quilts on a regular basis, as they are just sitting on top of the bed. If you are making wall quilts, then you properly won't wash it anyway. If you are thinking of washing quilts, then you must wash the fabric before you cut it out and buy washed wool if you use that so nothing shrinks. People do a lot of working making quilts but don't give attention to shrinkage.

@@lifestylesew Thank you!

@@lifestylesew Absolutely correct, people do spend a lot of time on their quilts and then don't look after them properly. No point in spending all that money on fabric, batting, backing and then the quilting of it. So good to know ways to look after your quilts. Thank you and also for this video. It is so simple and so effective. I will be using your method from now on. 🥰

Im so glad you got something out of the video. I do other videos not just Lutterloh, I like Lutterloh system but the patterns can be repetitive. I have lot of videos on Lutterloh, so you should be able to get some help with the system. from them. Remember all the adjustments I talk about can also be done on any other pattern, not just Lutterloh

Thanks Rossy, hope you found it helpful. G x

Ho im sorry you baby is no longer with you, Snow is 6 now, a little human, I do have two dogs, a poodle and a spaniel, but Snow is just special. What did you think of how I did the pattern, would you like to see more of that sort of thing or other things. I do mixed things up, but am thinking of maybe just do a few things, what do you think. Thanks for subscribing.

The upper body. Sorry it was a quick reply, I answered on my phone. The sleeve can sometime be tricky, they fit the armhole, but you may have to take it in. Lutterloh has lots of designers, so one thing my fit better than the other. Once you get a good fit , keep that for your master pattern ok.

Hi, The micron is only the thickness of the pouch. It gets squashed down once it goe's in the laminator. I would give it a go, suck it and see as we say. Thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it. G

Hi Zelda, Lots of people find it hard. Its simple really, you just have to do your own adjustments on the pattern, like you would if you bought a sewing pattern. Most people think because you are taking your own measurements, it will fit, problem with that is, the pattern will not know it you need a bust adjustment or a round back adjustment. You need to make some sort of mock up first, when you are happy then with the fit, cut it out again on your main material. I was really trying to say to people, I also sometimes miss adjustments out, if I do, this is what happens. I do all sorts of other sewing, not just Lutterloh. Thanks Gwendoline

Yes you are right, I only have the measure at work. The clipper I have was given to me. Thanks for watching.G

It's so useful. G

Hi Lida, anything is possible, but it dose not matter as they have to come off when I get new material to re cut the back with its adjustment. Will look at the arm then again then. All part of sewing, love it. G

Thanks for sharing!

It all depends on what you buy. I did buy some Poly Cotton at £1 a meter.

It will be easier to redo the back when the sleeves are off.

@@lifestylesew I mean it is a whole meter instead of a yard.

​@@bettyhappschatt3467 I think did say I was going to take the back off in the video. The sides also have to be re worked, by taking it in lower down the sides. It will be a nice jacket when finished, but Im not in a rush to do it, as I need to look out for the material. Thanks for watching and your input. Its always nice that people have taken the time to comment on what I say or do, thank you so much. G

Thanks for sharing! Nice of you to comment.

Not tried that, will have to try that. Thanks for the tip.G

Hi, you are right its a little big for me, but when you are big chested you have to get that right first. It fits on the chest, that's why I will take in the sides, and fix the arms. It's the round back that's the real problem, as that cant be fixed once the fabric is cut. I showed everyone so they could see anyone can have problems. I will just order a mt of fabric, so I can redo the back again. Fix the sides and arms. I may even put some embroidery on it just for good measure. Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for responding with a good comment. Mabe you could share it, if you dont mind. Once again thank you. G

You're welcome!, thank you for watching, Im so happy you found it easy, as the saying goes, it 's easy when you know how.

Hi Ange This is a link with all the videos to keep you going. Copy it or you can just click on the round your channel , underneath video, this will take you to my channel with all the videos I made. G th-cam.com/channels/5qv_gzdS_2NIWG1O3j-lqg.html

Thank you!

Hi thanks for watching. Make sure you iron your label to set the ink. I washed one sample and then checked it with another sample, the washed sample ,the fabric faded not the ink. I have not tested on several washers, as most people don't do a lot of washing of quilted things. Wall hanging don't need washing. Lots of quilts are just for show, or just to dress the bed. I have been doing this for years now, and all labels are all good.

I’d like to know too. Also, what program on the computer did you use to type your label letters?

@@stormyg1945 Hi it’s just word, you can also make it coloured, or put in art , just put in what you want, then save it and print it just like paper. I washed the sample to test it. The fabric faded, the ink was fine. Over time it may fade. Most people don’t wash quilts that much. Labels can be replaced very easy. G

Sorry about that, will be more carful next time.

Thanks for watching.

I did respond from my phone for you, have no idea why you did not get it, never-mind. I have now dropped the link in the video under show more. Just look under the video for show more, click on it, at the bottom with other links you will see the pattern link. Thank you for looking at the video, Gwendoline

Hi Thanks for the comments, I have a flat iron, Just did not have the time to do my hair, crazy week. Im not your traditional TH-camr I guess. I printed out two labels once, put one in the washer. Ironed it and the ink was ok, but the fabric faded a little when I put it next to the original one. Have been doing this way of labelling for years now. I think what you have to consider, are just going to have it on the wall or use your quilts for decoration compared to having it in the washer every week. I have an embroidery machine now, so may also give that ago, but the stitchers can also come out over time, and break. So many choices.

@@lifestylesew I am making some quilts for people in my mothers Care Home for when they are sitting in their wheelchairs, watching a movie or some thing So I really want to make sure they will hold up for as long as possible because they may be washed on a weekly basis I just finished making my own label with Washing instructions that were translated into Ukrainian and I used the fabric markers. I did the heat set with the iron then I washed them in really hot water then I re-inked them use the iron again so at least they will last a little longer

@@dcwatashi That is amazing, such a caring woman. Glad it all worked out with the makers. G

@@lifestylesew I belong to an online community of people who buy quilting cotton, and one lady offered to make two wheelchair lap quilts for me, and another gal is making one. I’ve met so many great people through this fabric sale. Another lady has an embroidery side business, and she embroidered the Ukrainian coat of arms so that I can incorporate that into my quilt

You are right, it would be lovely. Its dressmaking fabric anyway. Thanks for watching.G

Not sure how they do it, when you get your kit, you get some patterns, this may be a collection from different books to get you started or it could be just one of the books. Have no idea what book it is from, as once I got the kit I start to order different books anyway. Most books have some T-shirts of some kind in that people love to start with. G

Ok, First print out the first side of the pattern. You now have a A4 sheet with a pattern on it, now take the pattern you have on the printer, off the printer, put that pattern side by side with the pattern you have just taken off the printer, and put both of them on the printer together, can be a bit tricky lining them up. Print, you now have them side by side. If you want to laminate, get your patterns and put the picture and pattern back to back on the laminate sheet , add another pattern so you fill up the sheet. You will now have a laminated pattern with front and back, just cut up the middle so you have a A5 pattern.

That’s amazing, Im sure you will not regret it. When I first got mine, I kept forgetting I had it. Now it’s part of my normal routine. Love it. Also, I use it for sign for the door, like one saying I’m in the Back Garden. It’s for the delivery man so he can shouted over the gate to let me know I have a delivery. Thanks for watching. G

That is awesome! So Glad your dad gave you his patterns, it's just awesome! Dont forget to check out our FB lifestylesew, would love to see what you make. G

Is the Cat still with you?

@@bettyhappschatt3467 ho yes, he is only 5 years, also add a Spaniel called Jasper, I already have a Toy Poodle called Molly. It’s a full house. Jasper is young so he can get into trouble a lot. If he drives Snow mad, Snow cry’s to let me know. Cleaver Cat, I love them all.
