- In this video I teach you about some of my favorite ways to mark on different types of fabric. Over the years I have collected many different marking tools because no one thing works on every type of fabric. I discuss the ones I use most often and on which material they work best. I will also talk about some of the things you don't want to use like ball point pens and sharpies because they can stain your fabric and ruin your project.

Great advices! Thank you very much for the very informative vídeo! 👏👏👏
Permanent markers and ball point pens can also bleed through pvc vinyls 😊
good video and great tips. my favorite is the charcoal pencil. It has become my go to writing tool.
Thanks! Yeah the charcoal pencil comes in handy for sure.
Do u find the scribe all pencils work well to mark up for diamond tufting and washable? Thx again Funny, I have the tailors chalk in my wish list from awhile back, same one you recommend. I'll use your link😊
I just subscribed ! this guy is hands down the Best upholstery mentor I have ever seen my dad did upholstery growing up I’m a barber by trade but have been doing small jobs since inheriting my dads old tools (plus buying a few things )so much can be learned by watch lucky needle videos
Such good teacher always craftsmanship and patience just like my dad
So much talent and patience from this young man!😀
Dan. Thank you for such great compliments! Glad to hear you have enjoyed the videos.
I've taken sharpie off vinyl with a magic eraser. Might work with other materials.
Tailor's chalk (triangles) are easily sharpened to a miter edge by running them through a pair if scissors with blades opened partially! Quick and easy!
Awesome Idea! Thanks for sharing!
Yep I did that ball point pen, finished door card to see a smudged finger print.By the way love your vids learnt a lot ....
Lol yep It happens to everyone at some point or another. Glad you enjoy the videos!
I also use a Dritz chalk wheel. I use contractor chalk in it. I like blue and red. I do not use a sharpie on foam. I found out it can bleed through, so I use crayola fine tip washable markers.
Thanks! Ill have to check those out
PS do a video of sewing binding on carpet .YOU R A LIFE LINE SO THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks!
I do have that video in the apprentice series.www.theluckyneedle.com/products/apprentice-course/
Great video.
Thanks!
thanks good video mark h
Thanks John. Mike
Looking for a thicker thread to highlight stitching eg. Black vinyl & yellow thread? Mike. n ball46@shaw.ca. cheers be safe & healthy
I've had great luck with Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers on leather. (DO NOT confuse with dry erase markers). I can mark on the top of the leather and wipe off with a wet cloth. I do a test on every leather project. Never tried on vinyl.
Customer brought me leather with grease pencil marks on them. Will not wash off, leaves a black shadow. He cleaned off with brake fluid. I used WD-40. Keeping far away from grease pencils!
Crayola washable? That's a new one for me! Thanks for the suggestion.
For the grease pencils are you talking about those ones that you peal the paper off as you use up the pencil? I hate those! Never seen those work.
Those are the ones. Bad news!
Hi, thank you for your videos. I have a huge question: I need to mark/sew diamonds on a FLEXA Carbon Pearl White Vinyl, what would you recommend? I tried Tailors chalk and it doesn't wipe off easy. Thanks again - I look forward to your reply.
Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers Or Space pen in silver
What’s the trick? I can’t get the white charcoal pencil off with soap and water where I made the pleats on vinyl.
Question what can I use to remove pencil marks from sunbrella
Those evil ball point pen. ➕ back back.... Cross your arms... Thank You John
Get John's videos at least the Apprentice.... He shares allot of his advice.
This is kind of off topic from this video but I am sewing leather wallets now with tex210 thread on top and bottom bobbin. My question is on the initial stitch i'm trying to make it look clean on the back under stitch when i backstitch. It looks slightly messy and bunched/ knotted up when I do the backstitch only on the underside of the piece. Is there a tip you can give to where the first couple stitches look good on the underside of the stitch other than the knotted bunched up look? Thanks in advance
Well. I don't do any leather work like that. You could try not doing a lock stitch and pull the thread through to one side after your finished and tie it off by hand.
I get this when I'm using faux leather sometimes. The only way I've learned to counter that is instead of doing a backstitch, sew a bit, leave needle down, turn your work and sew along the way you just stitched. This allows you to see where you're stitching so you can sew in exactly the same holes and doesn't bundle the underside either. Then you can pivot your work again and continue stitching your project. It's a little slower than backstitching but if you want to keep it near, It's worth it. Hope this helps
That a really great tip! Thank for sharing!
what cleaner do you use to get the upholstery pencil off vinyl?
I recommend a nice vinyl cleaner.
I'm having a hard time finding something that works on coated fabrics such as silnylon. Do you have any recommendations for such fabrics?
Have you tried the white upholstery pencils I use in this video?
Yes, I have. Didn't work particularly well. The only thing that did work (on the uncoated side) was some sort of magic marker, erasable with water. But it's far from ideal. I might not have bought the best upholstery pencils though, so I'll buy a different brand to try out.
Strange. Those usually work well on everything.
Sometimes what Ill do when I cant find a solution for a certain fabric is I will go to an art supply store with a scrap piece or fabric and just start trying to see if I can find something that will mark well on the fabric. Hopefully this will work for you.
Oh that's clever. Thanks again! :)
What about thin bar soap sharpened on 4 corners? Hotel or travel bars come to mind. I've been using spray paint 😅🤣😂
yeah that could probably work!
Out of desperation, I have used a sliver of Dove Soap. I've had this sliver for a lot of months. I'm about to order some chalk, but now I'm thinking I might order colored chalk, but why not stick with the white soap. I wouldn't want to leave it on the fabric for long term because there could be a chemical in the soap that could cause a problem on some fabrics.
ha do a video on how to make a sew machine sew a big thred like138 or 270 am having no luck I have a juki1541 and consew 226 and consew 225 pleace help or strear me in the right place thank you
I have that video filmed. In the process of being edited now. Its going to be part of the Advance Top Stitches Course. www.theluckyneedle.com/products/advanced-top-stitches-inserts/
You need to use a size 24 needle. back off the top thread tension, max out your stitch length, use size 92 thread in the bobbin and 270 on the top where its visible.
thank you my friend keep videos coming MARK H
270 is a pain to sew. Make sure you have a 24 needle, undo top tension a bunch and it should go good.
Podrán poner subtítulos por favor
You are very good at what you do!! Please take my advice and no longer use the word literally. Best wishes.
Hahaha thanks Gregory! I will try. Everything you plan goes to shit when you push the record button and you sometimes you just gotta roll with it.... but Ii get better every time. Thanks for the honest advise.
Wouldn’t take his comment literally. I would literally say whatever I literally felt like if I made a video. Nice tips though. Thanks and speaking literally, keep up the good videos.
Haha! Thanks for the support Tdog!
TRY IVORY SOAP !
Really? On what? I never thought of that
Ball point pens unless you are dealing with a leather pen
