Sewing tip: No more ghost stitches

Because I do not have a computerized sewing machine, I use a fabric marker to color a section of a thread as I fill my bobbin. This will alert me that the bobbin is low and be prepared to refill it.

    What stitch length are you using with the sewing machine? In quilting, if a 1.5 or 2.0 stitch length is used, backstitching isn't needed, as these seams are sewn over when putting the patches together. Yes, pressing the seams as you go does help!! Great increase in your quilting knowledge curve!!

    Great fabric choices in these HST's! I saw that you were very careful cutting the HST's in half, but, please use a much wider Ruler! The rotary cutter blade can "hop" the rulers edge and slice your fingers! This is true with any width of Ruler, but less likely with a wider Ruler, at least 3" wide, or wider! Thank you!

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! Yes I will use wider rulers

  • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669
    @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tips: 1. Always start a new project with a new blade. On this project, maybe you will have to change it once or twice. 2. Do try to hold the rotary cutter as an extension of your hand; do not arch your wrist as it will get tired & sore, quickly. 3. There is a flattened area at the plastic handle area nearly over the blade, this is designed for the pointer finger pad. 4. CLOSE the blade cover before you put the rotary cover down, EACH AND EVERY TIME !!! These blades are very sharp. The sharp edge is similar to a scalpel and it cuts through skin very easily. For now, you are only cutting through 1 layer of fabric and you WILL progress to cutting 2 layers together. 5. Press the seam as it was sewn, from the front of your piece, toward the "dark" fabric, on all of these seams when pressing a 2 patch block. This is called "setting the seam". It relaxes the freshly sewn threads as you warm them Then, when two 2-patches are placed right sides together, the the seams are "opposing seams". 6. Press (not iron...moving iron back and forth or around and around) the seams flat. These opposing seams will slide together much easier. 7. Pressing: placing iron down on fabric, lift it up. Place the iron down on the next area. I find it easy to feel through the fabric: a space between the seams, slide those fabric edges together so you cannot feel that space. Then, Sew the seam. 8. Best practice is to use a "dry" iron first [no steam]; then if you are satisfied, you may chose to Press with steam. Hope this makes sense to you. Biggest tip: ALWAYS CLOSE THE ROTARY BLADE COVEF before your hand places this tool on the table. Great job. I enjoy hearing your summary of what you learned from this process!

    This maneuvering of the fabric is called "in hand" stitching...the same as for counted cross stitching. It is how I prefer to manipulate my fabrics while stitching quilts together and while stitching a counted cross stitch design.

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for giving me the name of the stitch! I will look that up and read more about it.

    Yay, hand quilting, once you get the Sampler Quilt top completed! How will be measuring and cutting the fabrics for each block? Will you be hand stitching the block together? In our "quilting world" there are several basic tools recommended and it all can get expensive... just cautioning words. I have been quilting for more than 32 years, now. There are Beginner quilting instructions by more than 1 TH-cam Creator. I do recommend the FAT QUARTER SHOP TH-cam videos for new quiltmakers. Just look for a group of videos under their Playlist on their introduction page. By the way, when showing someone else's patterns on TH-cam, you must not show the pattern or instructions. Just show the photo of the block so you are not "freely" giving away the author's work. That way, it encourages others to find the book and possibly to buy it. Some other TH-cam Creators will cover the pattern + instructions with a sticky note paper, or paperclip a paper over the instructions. Others will move the book off camera for a second or two, to find just the block photo, then return that photo page to the camera... just my 2 cents. If you wish, watch Kimberly Jolly on FQS: Fat Quarter Shop TH-cam as she reviews other's books or patterns. She often does it the way I described in her Floss Tube Videos...which are for Counted Cross Stitchers. The point is to preserve the author's Copyright.

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Appreciate your thoughtful comments and suggestions! I think I will be using a sewing machine to piece them together. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on what to do when reviewing or using someone else’s patterns. Luckily there aren’t a lot of instructions in this book.

  • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669
    @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In hand quilting, as in Counted Cross Stitching, I weave the ends under the straight part of the stitches. These needleworks skills and techniques are similar. I think the biggest difference is the length of the thread used.

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh I haven’t tried that stitch. That actually sounds similar in the technique - thanks for your comment!

  • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669

    Great progress and your review shows improvement! I hand quilt wall hanging quilts and have seen the improvement in my own hand quilting stitches. I rock the quilting needle in the hand quilting style, too.

  • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669
    @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for showing us how you organize your Sashiko threads. I looks like a good method.

  • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669
    @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That's helpful. What do you do with the thread next? How do you store it?. I agree that the loose braid makes it easier to choose one thread at a time, so these long threads do not get tangled. I have been placing a 2-inch metal ring in the middle of my long, unbraided hanks. Braiding comes next, then I hang them on a used tie or belt hanger. It is then not folded, easy to see many colors, and to remove my color choice easily. I use this same process with my overdyed Counted Cross Stitch threads that are not pre-cut.

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have created another video about how I store the thread bundles

  • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669
    @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Enjoyed your cat patience with the beautiful cat! Would the reason to use a double thread be as a design feature, only? I heard you say you stitched in the same 3 stitches twice because you didn't make a knot; why no knot?

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your questions! The reason of not using the knot is that the fabric can be used on both sides instead of just one. For example, if I make a knot on one side of a coaster, I cannot use that side for a cup or a glass as the knots would make the glass unstable. However, if I plan to cover the back side, I will use knots. I hope this helps!

      @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A suggestion: roll the fabric from the outside to the area near where you are stitching, that is to the left of where you are stitching, to make it less likely you stitch into that area... quiltmaker x 32 years. Very nice, even quilting stitches...not an easy accomplishment for beginners! I suggest rolling it so the back of the quilt stays on the top...less likely to get hand oils on the front to the fabric. Pretty soon you can practice stitching in other directions... not just right to left! Ah, just another challenge for beginner Quilt makers!

    • @Preservingstitches
      @Preservingstitches 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your suggestion. Can you explain the rolling of the fabric to me? If I understand correctly, I will roll the fabric in a tube and my left thumb will be on top of the fabric OR roll the fabric to make it more like a frame?

      Hello! Thank you for checking out the video. This is called “sashiko” and it is a Japanese style of running stitches to decorating as well as strengthening the fabric. People use the fabric with these stitches for different purposes from mending their garments (aka visible mending) or decorating their clothes.

    Hi. Enjoy your youtube videos. Just wanted to make a quick comment. I've been playing violin for approximately 4 years now -- teaching myself, relying on online advice, tutorials and demonstrations to guide me on the way. On my journey, I've realized how important slow, concentrated practice is, not to mention recognizing and working on any weaknesses in my playing -- isolating them and working through them. I've found that slow, careful practice, no matter what the piece and no matter how well I may or may not play it --- always improves my playing. I truly need to allot more time to such practice, regardless that I find it a bit tedious after a short time. It's always beneficial.
