Practice practice practice! You could also draw two marks on your thumb that hold the felt pieces together while you sew to use as a guide. I typically like to sew my stitches about 5 mm apart or less, but that’s just a personal preference.
Hi Graciela! This does seem like a difficult kit to come by for international buyers. I recommend looking on eBay to see if you can find it within your price range. If you are wanting a Bucilla kit that does not necessarily need to be Cruising Santa, I would recommend trying to buy from 123Stitch or Herrschners. Good luck on your search!
@@МаринаМихайличенко-й5и It depends on which stitch I am doing, but yes, I sew away from myself with the appliqué stitch because it's more natural for me and my stitches turn out even that way. It's similar to writing with a pencil. We all hold a pencil slightly differently, some of us are left handed, some of us are right handed - just do what is natural for you!
Great video! Thanks for sharing these tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Leslee. Do you have a recommendation for spacing the stitches?
