[@samoraali]

Thank you so much for this video, I got an idea of how I can transform local factories and workshops' scraps to t-shirts yarn to make rugs.

[@lovinlife2535]

Can't wait to see the finished rug!

[@beckywilliams-s2839]

Hi - How many yards of yarn do get from one yard of jersey fabric? thank you

[@tkgosselin]

The answer is 21.25 ish making this extremely expensive in comparison to skeins of similar material. A skein costing 11.99 at Joanne's is 184 yards.

[@cheyebreed9628]

Hi there! Could you tell me what size rotary cutting blade you used or which is the best all purpose cutter to get? Thanks a mil!

[@ParrotTalkBack]

How many yards of yarn do you usually get from one yard of fabric?

[@fuzzylimefairy]

How much yarn do you get in one yard? I need to know for a project please.

[@debaratighosh5627]

Good morning. Christina is there anything you can't do? LOL. Omggggg, this is great! You're the modern Martha Stewart. Thanks for sharing.
ps. You should have a segment in a tv show.

[@thediymommy]

Aracelis Escalona Thanks for watching! ❤

[@Lisa6812]

[@simplycloe8617]

Lisa6812 I also have a sewing channel if you want to check it out ;)

[@Lisa6812]

SimplyCloe Thank you, I will!

[@JulieDucastelpanic]

I've altered some tshits by cutting them , they turn out so cute, so what ideas do you have with your yarn? thanks for sharing :)

[@thediymommy]

Julie Ducastel Fun!! I think this would make great rugs and baskets!

[@yumisucculents9759]

My yarns were separated.. i mean it keep comming off because of the siewing side of t shirt unravels

[@ikeameliast5049]

how about the lenght?

[@lovellahasty9115]

Is the fabric able to have a little spandex or polyester in it? All the knit jersey fabric I'm finding isn't 100% cotton

[@haelejer]

did you know how you save me... been struggling looking for a tshirt yarn online .. thank you for this video

[@lindsypenney3064]

I just watched your video on hemming with heat n bond tape. Do you think I could use that to seam the ends of the jersey material I’m using to follow this tutorial to make yarn?

[@thediymommy]

I think it would probably work!

[@lindsypenney3064]

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY! I used Dritz brand “Stitch Witch Fusible Bonding Web”, because that’s what I had on hand. I steam seemed the ends late last night, and let them set overnight. Even if it doesn’t create a super strong bond, I’m making this for myself so I know to be careful when I reach a seam in my yarn. THANKS AGAIN!!!

[@roslynbradford2422]

what can be done if you don't sew for the zig zag stitch

[@vickybrown9101]

Nice

[@EmineninMutfagSef]

Harika nice 🤗🤗😘

[@ariannemariemagallon2801]

Hello Maam, if I want to use a fabric glue instead of sewing the fabric. Is it okay? Is there a chance that the fabric will break apart once I start stretching them? Thanks in advance ❤️❤️

[@thediymommy]

I haven't tried that, bit you could test it out on a small piece!

[@kehardy1986]

This has been asked quite a few times without response but I’ll try again. How much yards or meters do you get from this one yard of fabric????

[@thediymommy]

I am really not too sure. You'd have to try it and measure it - sorry!

[@barbaradamato7848]

Quando mi viene ha costare

[@dont2236]

genius

[@EmineninMutfagSef]

Başarılar abone oldum

[@lbthingsstuffmore9513]

👏👏👏💝👍

[@ta6531]

how many yards is never answered. I think to make this rug would be very costly. Recyled t-shirts is cheap...The fabric is 8.00 a yard..

[@elsasteenkamp3359]

Theane skoondogter wil die hekel met T, shirt materiaal probeer, is nogal vinnig

[@lizlobb2527]

Thank you for this tutorial but the music is far too loud and annoying!

[@tnttreasure]

Please be aware that you should Never use a rotary cutter by cutting towards yourself, always cut away from yourself. Otherwise thanks for the tutorial.

Not sure why Americans assume that their audience is always 100% American. :-/ For the other 96% of the people on the planet who are watching, a "Serger" is actually an *Overlocker*.
Americans just love to make up new words for things that have existed since the 1800's. Like Cookies - which have been called biscuits for centuries.

[@thediymommy]

I'm not an American.

[@crystalblodgett3173]

Not sure why people from other countries expect those who don’t live there to know there are other terms and/or translate for those who live elsewhere. Like hold on let me make a 4 minute video turn into a 4 hour video that has worldwide all inclusive terminology. If you don’t know what something is then look it up, that’s what google (or whatever you use where you are) is for.

[@apisme9090]

"Cookies" is from the Dutch language, not every settler in the USA was from Britain....
