Jackie calling crochet knitting is like mixing up baking clay and air-dry clay. They are similar but not the same thing
Thank you! I'm glad someone said it lol JK
Yep
Yes thank you!!
As a crocheter I wanted to be upset. But bless her heart Jackie’s trying
@@munroishot Heck ya, I won't even try crocheting i just thought it was a funny mix up
Jackie: Knitting nope
Also Jackie: shows crochet not knitting
Me: I think I see the problem
Lol
Yeah I was like
That’s not a knitting needle 😂
OMG YAS
I laughed when I saw that. I deliberately confuse sports to get my coworkers to leave me alone about game stuff. I was thinking she was making the same point.
I noticed that too... came to the comments to find this very comment 🤣😂🤣
Tip for sewing you push fabric away from you not towards you. That’s how you follow the lines better ☺️
I noticed that also. The fabric should be going the other way.
This was driving me a little crazy
I think she was following the sewing lines on the fabric - there was a starting arrow that I noticed on the second project. When she did the wings, she was going the proper way.
I wonder if the North American machine would make less of a scary noise if the fabric was going the correct way through the machine
@@PhoenyxAshe The arrows were going the right way. She just interpreted them to mean that the arrows needed to face away from her, which they don't.
Just a side note for anyone who wants to buy this for personal projects, if the bond is strong enough, you could sew the two pieces together inside out and then flip it before stuffing to hide the seam. Just a thought :)
I feel like that’s what you’re supposed to do with this kit. Jackie just didn’t do it
@@raechel381 I don't think that it's what you're supposed to do with the kit. I mean, the designs and the lines you're supposed to follow are on the same side of the felt, so I don't think they want you turn it inside out. But I think it's a good idea (if the bond is strong enough to hold that).
That's exactly what I was thinking. Otherwise, trimming is necessary because that seam allowance... ugh!
Gotta say they’re both most likely made in the exact same factory, the small differences you’re seeing are “safety measures” between North America and Japan markets. The Japanese one is also more because of the licensing fees for the characters.
I am betting it's just manufacturing differences, you could buy 5 machines and each one would be slightly different
came here to mention the licencing fee for the characters too, that brand is really popular in japan and the n. american one is way more generic in design
And the smaller box makes it cheaper too. Less freight costs from factory to distributor.
Jackie "heavier means better quality"
Me "im better quality"
Dude same-
Heavier means better quality means IF YOUR adult then your good quality
Lol
im worse quality
Lol Same
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate how much better Jackie made all of our quarantines.
Ahhh ikr!🥺💕
I post vidz
300% better.
I agree!!!!
Yesss 💕🥰
I make vidz btw 💖
She 5000000%
Sewing machine: *arrow that points which direction to push fabric through*
Jackie: *sews in opposite direction*
Sewing machine: 💧👁️👄👁️💧 am I a joke to you?
Arrow:
Lol
👁💧👄💧👁
@@tinyishmael9832 I like the other way better. This looks like the lips are crying?
@@lazyhomebody1356 realistically tears fall in the way I did it so that's why I chose to put them there the other one looks like it's sweating but ok😂
"Don't do this at home. Don't be a Jackie." Me sitting here remembering all the times I've used my scissors, seam ripper, or just brute force to get my fabric through my actual sewing machine. I'm not a professional.
Same 😂recently stitching 4 thick felt fabric layers together and flattening it with fingers one side and dragging it through the other XD
Jackie you're doing it wrong! You should be pushing the felt through, not pulling, the same direction a sewing machine works. That way you can see the lines to follow. Good luck!
BRUTE FORCE!!!!!!!! That’s the solution for everything
As a former professional seamstress, we use tools to guide fabric, and we push and pull things where needed depending on fabric or style of sewing, just don't pull against the needle or it will break, if you pull you have to do it on both ends (like when you are setting elastic) and a chopstick works well as a fabric guide, I have sewn myself (via a fingernail or two) to a garment lol
A porcupine quill works great for getting material under the needle. You may have to order online but they're cheap
Quilting, crocheting, knitting, sewing, paper crafts, you name it . . . I like it. THAT’S WHY I LIKE YOUR CHANNEL!
I got that kit when I was little and didn't like that it was pink and secretly painted it a mix or blue green and orange while my parents slept... Of course the paint didnt turn out well and I got in trouble but I still liked it better lol
As a child, I never appreciated the cheap look anyway. I wanted my kid versions to look like the bigger adult version
@@dmnovak66 And now as an adult I love cute little things!
I feel that a part of the price gap is probably the licensing of the characters in the Japanese one.
I got the pink machine for my daughter for Christmas and we've found it a really good purchase. She's only 6 but can run through straight lines easily enough (curves were a little tricky) and we've managed to use our own felt too! I'd definitely recommend it to people of they're looking for "baby's first" sewing machine 💚🧊
That’s actually a pretty hilarious diss on Jackie’s sewing skills. Couldn’t even master this “baby’s first sewing machine” as a fully grown adult. Lol!
Thanks I wanted to start sewing so I'll save up my allowance for this !
I’m 17 and just got a sewing machine and curves can be tricky
Just never buy those cheaply “little kid” sewing machines, I had one as a kid and it broke instantly, I watched Moria’s Elizabeth use pretty much the same one and hers also broke.
Tomi or tomika is licensed in the US as “Tonka,” which I’m sure many of us played with.
Ah! My yellow Tonka truck which I finally convinced my mom into getting me because she thought I was too "macho" already
I loved my Tonka trucks! Thx for the info!
i believe both types exist here in europe.. i've seen tomi toys for kids but Tonka is generally more a collectors thing here. my grandfather used to collect miniature cars
Oh wow. I didn't know that.
As someone who studied under a professional seamstress... the noise that machine made gave me a heart attack
It nearly nearly gave me a heart attack 2
It is very off-putting...
Literally had some PTSD flashbacks from when I would be troubleshooting machines in the theater costume department I worked at for four years lol
Agree, I would be tempted to get the Japanese version just because of the noise 😬
I, someone who sews a lot of doll clothes, also had a heart attack.
Jackie: I don't like working with fabric or felt!
Also Jackie: If you know where I can buy cute felt lemme know!
😂
*sits and crochets while watching episode* Sorry, Jackie -- my first love is textiles.
I have always wished i could learn to knit and crochet. I would make those dollies all the time. But i have debilitating carpal tunnel and when i was trying to learn my hands hurt so bad I couldn't continue.

I haven't seen Angel in a video in a while it feels like. I hope he is doing well, I always enjoy his antics while you're tying to work. I've got 3 cats and a dog and they love to interrupt me while I'm doing my paint commissions. =)
I was just thinking that!
I think in a previous video she had mentioned that angel doesn't like the bright lights that's in her art room. Either it's just too bright for him or it spooks her which is why he's not in there
@@lunarsolstice7081 ah, ok. I must have missed that. thanks. =)
@@lunarsolstice7081 He. Angel is a boy birb!
@@lazyhomebody1356Guess since Jackie did change her workplace somewhere or so, Angel isn't as used to as previously
Every sewing machine has a light when you turn it on Jackie 🤣
oof
She surprised wrong
@@gumisora ???
XD
Not mine X'DDDD
Jackie needs to learn the saying-
“Righty Tighty Lefty Loosy” 🤣
True! XD
It’s been a rlly long time since I heard that phrase
Totally
Japan is actually Lefty Tighty Righty Loosey
I know that saying but that means knowing what is left and what is right. Sounds easy, but my brain questions it a lot lol
Me during this whole video: I'm so glad there isn't enough clearance to fit her fingers under there. 🤣
Same
Probably because it's specifically aimed at kids.
No one.
Jackie: making everyone’s day much better!🥰💕
Love from a positive UTuber💖
here's something that I think these kits both lack: On a real sewing machine, you have feed dogs under your fabric and a foot on top of it to basically clamp your fabric to the machine and help guide it, these kits make sewing HARDER by not helping you guide your fabric through it.
I think autocorrect messed you up I’m a bit confused
@@enchantedisopod4017 i don't think they made a mistake writing this, i saw another comment pointing almost the same thing as this person
@@enchantedisopod4017 but what we're you confused by? The feed dogs?
I had to look it up too, because I'm not a native speaker in English, but 'feed dogs' is the right term for the thing on a sewing maschine that helps pull (feed) the fabric. There's a Wikipedia article about it. Maybe that helps 😊
@@enchantedisopod4017 wdym? They didn’t mess anything up
Jackie: a sewing machine with no thread
Me: what kind of magic is that
😂🤣
Haha 😂
I was very confused too! 🤔🤔🤔
But I figure it's needle-felting as it says only for felt. I'm fairly sure it wouldn't work on any other fabric.
It's c it's crazy I know
@@creepycutiecrafty Spinmaster appears to have made a machine to address that - it has a strand of yarn that passes under the needles and over the fabric, with the felting process apparently joining the fabric together. Odd and over-priced at the moment, but they did seem to realize the need to expand.
Sort of.
I'm honestly surprised the needles didn't break with the pulling of the felt. The felting needles I've used tend to break if I look at them the wrong way.
Maybe theres a difference between the spaces at needle is due to the children’s toy safety laws in the US.
It's more likely that it's a normal difference from piece to piece, you could buy 5 of each and every one would be slightly different, it's not meant to be exact
She’s in Canada tho lol 😂
@@enchantedisopod4017 the north american amazon is using standard US laws for children's toys, duh
It’s entirely possible that’s the reason for both the space & the needle speed differences. I sometimes think US safety rules/laws go too far & end up negatively impacting the usefulness of items & makes them more difficult to use. They also try to idiot proof everything way too much. In the case of many kids’ toys they end up trying to make toys baby proof even if it’s clearly marked age 6+ or even 12+! Because if a toddler or child younger than the recommended age uses it & gets hurt...even if the parents bought it for the younger child fully knowing it is intended for older children...parents will STILL SUE the company & drag their name across social media. And many have won such lawsuits.🙄😒😒🤯 Just like many adults have won lawsuits after injuring themselves or after a loved one died using a product in ways that completely defy common sense. Yet if it wasn’t strictly covered in the warning many do actually win. Common sense & critical thinking are both becoming more & more rare.🙄😕 Just like parents being actually expected to educate/raise their own children & teach the right from wrong, safety, etc. 😒😒
@@roguewolf7053 it's more likely they are just manufacturing defects, the only safety reg for this is not enough space for a finger or body part to get hit with a needle, you could buy a dozen of these and each one would be different, it could also be the US is greedy and wanted to be sure only their thin felt git through easily, but my money is on the first theory
We totally need some “you saw nothing” merch
When I hear “machine are you ok?”
I know I’m staying here.
YESS!!!✨
mmmmhhhhh
Omg YESsss
Yes lol
Love the idea of making pet toys w/catnip. Dollar store felt is a lot cheaper than the fully enclosed catnip toys from the pet store which are only going to become shredded mousie anyway.
Jackie: "I know they're supposed to be cute, but dolls, generally speaking, make me very uncomfortable."
Me: So she says with a background filled with what are essentially dolls. :)
I said the same thing and she replied it was realistic dolls
@Holly Manley she did, she replied to my similar comment
Yeah. Makes sense. Dolls look like people and people are scary. Dinosaurs and saltshakers and ducks are not so scary
Plushies are not dolls -_-
@@fanime1 not true, you can make doll plushies, I used to make them
He grains👋, if you r wondering about the 'hey grains' thing, watch more of Jackie's vids. I only found out about her a few days back and now im OBSESSED!!! Thx Jackie x💕
I am assuming tne Japanese kit is more expensive because of the collaboration with San-X which is... I guess is the sister company or branch of Sanrio. I'm pretty sure they'll have a generic.
Jackie: "I despise working with textiles"
Me, a cosplayer for 10 years: "honestly same tho"
Jackie: " *Hey Google* ..hit me up "
My Google Assistant: "Did y'all mention me?"
Same, best part for me is that mine have not worked before this even though it has been on 😂
My poor guy leaps to attention all the time...even though I never use it
Mine loves to tell/get me things I haven't asked for. 😂
Mine literally searched for "hit me up" 😂
I love how Jackie calls the stuffing- “filling” 🥰🤟🏻
Me whi studied to be a seamstress.
Jackie : sewing machines go pupupupupupu.
Me: yes jackie. Yes they do .
Lol
Knitting stuffed toys is my life
I think it's because i had an amazing handwork teacher back at school, but yeah- it's amazing
I love how when ever she says subscribe on the little area it says she has 80 millon subscribers XD
I can be having one downer of a day, but your videos always make me smile. 🤓 Thank you, Jackie! 🌹 Seeing you tackle a craft you don't even like is very motivational. 💐
Gotta love the "Jackiesplasions" she explains things wonderfully!!! Lol
I was not at home when I saw this I clicked it thanks Jackie for wasting your money to save our money love u 😋😋😋😋🤩🤩🤩😘😘💜💜💜💜
Hi random person scrolling through the comments! Hope u have a good day! :)
Literally putting all your videos on a loop. Sorry if that sounds creepy but after the past two weeks you’re videos are the only thing that has been making me smile again (besides my kids) thank you for all the laughs! Love you
If you went vertical instead of horizontal on the wings, that seam would be hidden behind the main piece 😉
And the pink one is sold at Target! 🥳

I like to sew a little, it's more for bean bags only. I 100% have fallen in love with sculpting. I also love painting after. Thank you for introducing me to clay!!! About 2yrs ago I had never touched clay. I'm not the best, but it makes me happy.
I honestly like "textile" projects, I made a Harry Potter lap quilt for my kid for xmas. I can knit, crochet, cross stitch & hand & machine sew. I've made over 300 facemasks since last March (le sigh)
i could sew if i really wanted to.. i can knit and i do like me some cross stitches from time to time
Cosplay is a fun mixed-media hobby, there can be sewing And sculpting!

Thank you so much I really appreciate this video and I learned a lot. My nieces wanted to learn how to sew with a sewing machine. I sent them the pink Cool sewing machine years ago. I always wanted how it worked out. We live so far apart and they don't like doing face time or zoom due to privacy. I used to make videos to teach them to sew. Just so they could see me even if I couldn't see them. I had sent extra felt kits as well as just felt for creativity play. I got a little emotional and cried. I know they did play with it a lot but it felt good to see that I made good choices.
"We're not going to mention the hair rerooting"
Nobody:......
Jackie: I broke 7 needles rerooting hair
I was reading you comment when she say it
I bypass the rerooting all together by making a wig by gluing and air-dry Clay cap to the scalp and adding yarn.
My favorite hobbies, sewing, crochet, Needle point, painting with gauche, water color, acrelick, Chinese ink painting, Sum_e Japanese painting, jewelry making, Vacking wire weaving, candela making, and playing with power tools. And a lot more that I can't thank of right now.

Just a friendly pronunciation help; the “a” sounds in Takara are long A sounds. As in Tah-Kah-Rah. But your pronunciation of Tomy is spot on!
a long a would be an "ay" sound not an "ah" sound
I am in love with this, im obsessed with sumikko gurashi and love seeing videos with them in it.
Clever marketing on Spin Masters part, because this is clearly achieved felting machine. Felting machines IRL can cost $1,000 or more. Props to Spin Master for making such a cheap and accessible machine, but they might want to call it by its correct name.
My favorite art/craft is makeovers of figures and toys, some of which have been inspired by you!
North American one makes me want to pull out safety googles, that sound, it sounds like needles hitting the plate and threatening to break
At 8:21 her laugh made my day! I LOVE U NERD CRAFTER AND NEVER FORGET THAT🖤🖤🤌🏼🧂
Why would I want something to do the stabbing for me.... that's the best part 😂
I relate to you when you don't like sewing Jackie. I used to be absolutely terrified of sewing machines until I decided i'd start practicing to try to make a gift for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. I only practiced a few times and my Mom ended up having to sew the whole thing in the end but it's actually fun! The kind of sewing machine my Mom has isn't that loud, it's easy to work with once you learn all the dials and buttons, and it has a pedal so I could go as slow as I needed to. The machine even pulled the fabric through for me! I just had to get the hang of steering the fabric to do curved lines. Not that i'm trying to convince you to try it but I personally found that my previous fear was a bit silly. But before that I had no knowledge at the same time so I can still understand the fear of the unknown.
Have a good day! (Or whatever time it is for you.)
Hint: put the body of the project on the left, and use those grooves ("guides") that are to the right of the needles at the edge of the fabric.
Okay but imagine using the first one to make a plushie - if you used the right technique, you could flip it inside out and have a even neater seamless look.
I like how she says "Our felt." Instead of " My felt." She thinks we're sharing the felt
Its her felt I can't do fabric things
I had one of these when I was little! I loved it!
First thing i hear '' MACHINE ARE YOU OKAY?" should i still be watching this i mean she waves a sharp pointy thing at us
Yes
I recommend you binge watch.
Soon you will crave the sharp pointy thing
this is probably one of the only products that she tried that i had also tried years ago , loved it
"Absolutely adorable"
2 seconds later-
"IT WAS 60 DOLLATS WITH TAXES
Me:Welp self esteem went down ey?
Companies: First time?
My soul needs more plushie makeovers.💕🌈
We need a shirt with the crayola song “figure it out uh uh uh figure it out uh uh uh” or a sharp pointy thing plushie
Yes
I’m a knitter, but I do lots. Painting, spinning, crochet, sewing, chainmaille, doll customs (v.beginner there), card-making... I just love crafting.
I imagine if you ever move and clean out the room, you’ll find random things you’ve lost through throwing around lol
My favorite medium is Cross Stitching. I'm 38 now and I have been doing it since I was 14. It relaxes me.
"do as i say not as i do" MERCH PLEASE
My granddaughter (5) loves her felt sewing machine, the Cool Maker Sew N' Style
i'd propably prefer machine with 1 or 2 needles - "seam" would be much cleaner and easier to control
Yeah, i agree
Amazing results!! Felting machines for kitty toys sounds like a great plan!! 🤗😍
Well Sanrio licensing is definitely not cheap so the Japanese one's waaaaaay pricier but at least the quality's good
My favourite type of art is watercolour painting :)
and that is quite a cool machine for older kids to experiment with and make their own little sewing projects
“A good source with felt-type materials that is already printed on”: maybe buy flannel fabric and/or felt fabrics from fabric stores, fabric.com, etc. ? They carry pattern and printed fabrics.

By the way, I have an idea for your collab with Moriah: kaleidoscope or fractal shapes art. She loves rainbows and there are plenty to spare. Also, they are kind of spooky which is up your alley.
PS: Beware of fractal buttcracks!
I have to agree on your conclusion Jackie. I had my own one Sew Cools and it worked amazingly and made awesome gifts for people!
Jackie shows a clip of her “knitting”
Me: it’s cRoChEt
Edit: I didn’t mean this in an aggressive way. Just a friendly correction, and so that you know the difference
When I saw her crocheting while calling it knitting, my first thought was "of course you don't like it, you're doing it wrong "
My favorite craft is embroidery, especially for small sewing projects.

Greetings from a German Grain 💗😍
As a sewer, it's a rule of thumb to place the "bulk" of the fabric so the outside of the machine. That way it's easier to feed through.
The short edge seam side points towards the inside of the machine.
