Such a cute stocking! I see your Christmas Bucilla videos and I always want to make one but I'm such a beginner I need to find an easy one to start with! Maybe this year I'll work up the courage. I have an advent calendar I've been working on for quite some time. All the tiny objects for the pockets kill my fingers (I have carpal tunnel), so it's been difficult and a very long process. Too advanced for beginner knowledge, for sure! Thanks for these videos... they're so incredibly helpful! Oh... and I am definitely an overstuffer!! LOL
I've been obsessively watching your videos as I wait for my kits to arrive. I've never done one before, but they look so cute! I had my roommate pick one out too so I can make one for both of us since it's our first Christmas out in the real world lol
That's so exciting! I remember my first set of kits (7 total and I was a NOOB) I was in over my head haha! Learned a lot though! What stockings did you pick out?
Looking good!! I think I made this one a few years ago! When I started making these kits I never lined them. Found out very quickly certain candy and felt do not mix well!! I believe I am an under-stuffer!! Hate to re-do them! Keep up the wonderful job!!
Have you ever done Bucilla Gingerbread House #85102? I'm about to start it. I did do the Jolly St Nick stocking previously and found your tutorials to be very helpful.
Also this is a stupid question but I cant even get the light green threaded... am I supposed to take apart the thickly wound thread into different pieces?? It's like 6 threads in one. Im so confused I already want to give up!!!
Hi Luci, I sense your frustration and I'm here to help. When adding beads and sequins, it's optional to place a knot after each one. I only do this if they are not in sequence. If they are spread apart, I put a knot on the bottom. If the beads are in a row, I do a running type stitch to save on time. As for the thread, each yard color contains 6 strands. You will need to separate each strand to get the correct number for each type of stitch. For beads and sequins, you grab a sequin with your needle and then grab 1 bead to sit on top.
@@JenniferGoodTGL thank you for a quick response! Sorry for blowing up your post lol!! I figured some of that out and got the first step done 😅 I might need some other guidance if you don't mind! Much appreciated!!
Is there a reason we don't iron out the creases on the main piece of felt? My kit is for a wreath and asks me to trace a template on poster board from the main felt piece (which has creases from being folded in the package) I'm thinking I might try to iron them out?
Ironing your felt pieces is completely optional! Make sure if you decide to iron, that you use a low setting and parchment paper. Depending on the kit, some stamps may fade if you iron too hot. Keep in mind that the felt is made from recycled plastics and is flammable! The wrinkles usually smooth out on their own as I work with my projects which is why I don't bother with ironing. Let me know if it worked for you!
@@JenniferGoodTGL it did work, I used an ironing cloth and a light setting for synthetic fabrics. In retrospect you're probably right, I don't see myself ironing every single piece, but since I was tracing and using that part as a template it was worthwhile this time :) thanks so much! Have a happy Veterans Day!
Love your tutorials! I just started working on this stocking again. AI’m having trouble with my pieces seeming too big for the stocking. I cut them on the line, but when I lay it down, it’s just a bit too big. What am I doing wrong?
@@JenniferGoodTGL - Thank you so much for your quick reply! Yes, it is stuffed, and so that makes sense. I hope you don't mind a couple more questions... is there a particular brand fill that you use? Also, in the stitching process of the stocking, do you use single strands on every type of stitch? I can't seem to find this info anywhere.
@@billiebee8911 I'm using Crafter's Choice Polyester Fiber Fill. I bought it at Walmart; 20oz for about $6 and it's lasted a long time! I don't have a particular favorite but I like the one I'm using. The kit comes with a chart that will tell you how many strands to use for each type of stitch. There's also a column that tells you how many yards per color, that's only there to help you sort your thread colors. Most stitches require 2 strands except the applique stitch which is 1 strand. So make sure you refer to the chart often :)
@@JenniferGoodTGL - Thank you for your help. The directions don’t seem straight forward to me, as a beginner. I appreciate your tutorials and your help!

I purchased a few kits and am waiting for enough time to start them. Your videos are showing me a lot of tips and tricks to get started with.

This kit is great for beginners! I can imagine the difficulty with carpal tunnel. Just make sure you take your time and enjoy making it!
You could try some Bucilla kits for little felt ornaments too.
Esta bota la tengo en breve la voy a hacer.. ..gracias por tus ideas...exelente.

Yay new tutorial!!!

I really need to start making some cotton liners for my own stockings. If I find the time to do it this year, it will be a great addition. :)
Love , love, love your tutorials. You give such good tips! This looks simple but very effective , will have to put it on my to do list 😀
Thanks so much 😊
I was definitely an overstuffer! More is better, right lol? I also learned the hard way. Thanks for a new tutorial. It’s going to be really cute.

No but I've been wanting to make their Gingerbread houses. I can add it to my list of tutorial ideas.
Super super new beginner here trying to make this for my son.... do we cut the knot off after each bead/sequin we put on?
Also this is a stupid question but I cant even get the light green threaded... am I supposed to take apart the thickly wound thread into different pieces?? It's like 6 threads in one. Im so confused I already want to give up!!!
Also do you have a bead on the back too? Or is it just one sitting on the sequin?

Are they stuffed pieces? If so that's pretty normal; gives you room to add stuffing without pulling on the bottom felt.

When it says 4 strands does it actually end up being 8 strands thick since you thread it through and tie the ends together? I hope that makes sense
To make 4 strands for the straight stitch, I use 2 strands of floss, double them over and tie the ends together to make 4 total.
@@JenniferGoodTGL ok good to know! What about when it’s an odd number like 3?
@@demimurphy9518 When it says 3 strands, I use 3 separate strands; one end is knotted while the other end is loose.
@@JenniferGoodTGL ok! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions!
Off to a great start Jennifer! How was the talking part? Sore mouth? I hope not!
Lol! Yes, doing the voice overs was difficult at first but I think I have the hang of it now 😁
