Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! My 4 year old grandson loves to play “Go Fish” but has a difficult time holding his cards. I can’t wait to give him his surprise!
I really was hoping to understand and make this. But I wish her explanation and showing was better. I am stuck at the end. At the spot where she is putting the two Velcro together. But is the stuff inside supposed to be at the very end on the top and bottom? And if so, how do you bend it to get the Velcro to meet?
Brenda, I just rewatched the video to refresh myself. As you add each piece of Peltex you push it in as far as it will go and then stitch right beside it to hold it in place. When you add the last piece of Peltex it should come very close to the velcro. Stitch right beside the Peltex at the left side of the velcro and then stitch the card holder closed (on the right side of the velcro) like Lori did in the video. Now the velcro edge has no Peltex in it so it can be bent. Watch how Lori folds it back to meet the velcro on the bottom. Let me know if you have any other questions. Lisa
I didn’t understand what you said about the Velcro you used. Did you just take 2 strips, take them apart and only use 2 of the same side Velcro? Is there a specific product?
Good start on tutorial, but when it comes to putting the peltex in and sewing you skipped over it. This is a very important step that I would like to have seen. I know how to clip threads.
@@loribosecke3165 but still no explanation even in your reply… also what the heck is peltex? I can Google it but you could offer explanation and/or alternatives.
@@alishiagaff5848 I don't know what peltex is either and watched back and forth trying to figure out what she was using to stiffen. I won't be back or doing this project because I could not figure it out.
I can't figure out where you sewed the 2nd piece of velcro, as I am not able to view the whole piece. It looks like it may be on the back side at top, but do I sew it though both pieces of fabric? That is where I have the closed end. If the stiff piece is already sewn to edge, how can I sew it on?
Hi Donna. The last piece of Velcro is sewn through all layers on the exact opposite of the first. Sew through all layers. I talk about it at 11:04 during the video. I hope you can see that since you said you couldn’t see the entire video. Enjoy!
Hi Bronwyn, the card holder really needs to be stiff. You could use Soft & Stable along with Decorbond/Craftex. Also, if you use a fabric stiffener like Terial Magic along with several layers of non-woven interfacing on all fabrics you might get away with it. Peltex is your best answer though...we do sell it online here: loriscountrycottage.com/products/peltex-ii-double-sided-fusible-stabilizer-pellon-20-72fp?_pos=2&_sid=e1af05391&_ss=r
The Peltex is inserted after the completed front is attached to the back on all three sides. Slide each Peltex piece in one at a time, edge stitching after each piece.
In the beginning you say to measure down 1” from the top. When you are Sewing the 3/4” velcro there is quite a lot of material left on the top. How does that Happen?
I can see where your having a hard time with this. She could have shown each step with the peltex instead of explaining it. Most people are visual learners like myself, but I understood what she was saying, but others may find it hard to follow that part of the video because she didn't show how she did that step, but just explained it. When doing a video tutorial you should always show each step of the project for those who need to see what your doing. Same with putting on the last piece of Velcro... I appreciate the fact people are making video tutorials, but if your going to make something please show it ALL from beginning to end so that people can see the whole process.
when marking the front long piece she corrected her measurement. Measure down from the edge 1 1/2", then 5" down from that mark, then again 5" from that mark...You will have 3 marks on the front of your long piece. The first 5" line that you marked after marking the 1 1/2" line you will measure 1" away (take your ruler and measure over 1" from that drawn line, and this is where you will lay your first pocket, and then stitch across the bottom with a 1/8" seam allowance to hold it in place, then from the pocket top measure down 1" again and lay your second pocket piece, and sew along the bottom of that one, then do the same with the 3rd pocket. You will then sew the sides...I would do a 1/8" seam instead of a scant 1/4" like she says just to make sure you don't see that stitch when sewing up the sides. When sewing the first Velcro piece your going to lay that scratchy side piece up against the drawn 1 1/2" drawn line closest to the edge, and not above that line, and stitch that down. When following the peltex installation you will put the first piece inside and but it up close to the inside edges, and press it with an iron if its fusible and it helps so it doesn't move on you when you topstitch near the edge of it. Then take your 2nd peltex piece and shove it in there close to where you just topstitched, and press that with an iron again, and topstitch that one near the edge, then repeat this with the last piece of peltex...Turn your project to the "Backside", and at the opposite end from the velcro you put on the front, lay your other piece of velcro near that edge, and stitch that down. I hope this helped! If you have any questions just ask me here in a Reply if you want...
Peltex 72F is the fusible stabilizer that I used. The amount is listed at the beginning of the presentation as well as in the text of the TH-cam.

You are so welcome!
How much do you sale them ? I don’t have a sewing machine.
@@jazsea02 we only sell the products to make them. Sorry. A sewing machine is a handy tool for small repairs and great for DIY projects!
I remember having a hard time with it as a kid too. This craft will be so helpful!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I LOVE your ring! It's beautiful!
Thank you so much!

Hi Brenda. We are working on a new tutorial for the Playing Card Holder. Stand by for further instructions!

Me too the space isn't the same
@@loribosecke3165 Have you done a new tutorial? I’m a pretty experienced sewist, and I had some trouble finishing this project.
@ check out the updated tutorial Lisa did for the card holder!
Do you have a video showing how to pad a cardboard box with stabilizer before
the fabric is glued on?
Hi, we are just in the process of redoing this video with more detailed instructions. Stay tuned!
This is so creative. I need to start playing cards, haha. I'm always so busy with my art but I should take a break and play cards! Subscribed!
Go for it!

Hi I was just wondering I don't have any peltex, is there a good substitute?

I've known of some who cut cereal boxes and slip them in. It is sturdy enough to stand them up.
Does Veltex make a fusible? This is a great project for my sister's senior center as they play many card games. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Hi Fran. Peltex has both one-sided and two-sided products. 71F is one-sided, 72F is two-sided. Hope that helps!
@@loribosecke3165 Thank You Lori & yes I meant to say Peltex. LOL
I would like to see how much they are ? I don’t have a sewing machine .
Hi. Sorry, we don't sell the card holders.
What does peltex look like ???
It's quite a stiff stabilizer that's about 1/8" thick. You can search on the Peltex website to see it.
When did you use the Peltex?
The Peltex is inserted after the completed front is attached to the back on all three sides. Slide each Peltex piece in one at a time, edge stitching after each piece.
Can I use foam or cardboard
I guess you could try but I've never used them for this project.
In the beginning you say to measure down 1” from the top. When you are
Sewing the 3/4” velcro there is quite a lot of material left on the top. How does that
Happen?
Good catch!! I say 1" and marked 1.5". Please note the correction.
Do you make and sell them?
Sorry, no, we don't.
Bitte bitte wie bekomme ich das auf deutsch

I'm very visual she skips to much for me and not showing the whole project as she goes. messed up and wasted fabric :(
Here's an updated How To video for the playing card holder. th-cam.com/video/fQBacClz4t0/w-d-xo.html
I find this very hard to follow.

@@karenpalmer9988 Your instructions have helped me so much I made a copy of them because every time I hunted for them I couldn’t find them.
@@crisonya I'm so glad it helped! I hope I explained it easy enough...I've been sewing for years now, and I really love helping out when I can...
I need more help with putting in the stuff that makes it stand up. You skimped on directions there and some of us don’t know what that stuff is.
