This is going to sound strange, but I'm really grateful to see an older creator with shakey hands still doing their thing. My hands have gotten more and more pained, shakier and shakier over the years, and sometimes it's a struggle to tell myself my crafting days are NOT over, I just need to adjust my methods to accommodate my hands. Seeing that real, legit professionals doing exactly the job I dream of (making FRAGGLES!?) can do it with hands like mine is huge. Thank you!
i was wondering if it's just about him not used to being in front of a camera and knowing theres a massive audience on a popular channel about to watch him under a microscope.
This is why it's so important to see different people with different situations do things. As I get to 40, I value seeing older people on TV and other media because I realize there's so little representation. It's like we disappear after a certain age.
As a former ballet costume mistress, I love this. Every discipline has their own trick…”Every three stitches, you tie a knot.” In ballet costumes, every embellishment, crystal, pearl is individually sewn and knotted so a dancer doesn’t loose multiple embellishments on stage. I love your content. Staples, sewing, getting paid for your work. 🥰
I do heritage railway upholstery. The process is surprisingly similar. From wire spring units, frenching invisible stitches, using the fibres of the fabric to cover them. Even getting the regulator (needle in this case) to push the sheets together to get even more refined stitching and positioning. All elements are common to both. And, yes, each individual has their own way of doing it in upholstery too! Although out 'whip stitch' is only done at the end. Never needed a practical reason to use it mid-seam. They hold together for decades without it.
I am so sad to learn of his condition. I used Adam Kreutinger’s “Snoof” puppet template to construct some puppets with my kids during lockdown. It was so much fun! My puppet lives in my office at Uni where I teach animation. The students loooove it. Highly recommend his channel. My two favourite Adam’s❤
Very few things on this platform makes me as warm inside as experts who love their craft being glad to talk about and teach their skills to others. I just love it when these things aren't kept like some closely guarded secrets but shared with other entusiasts and with the world. We all make ouselves better. Thank you!
I didn't know of Adam Kreutinger, but I do now, and I'm absolutely thankful to you for introducing me to him. May he get into the trials and beat this thing and have many more years of sharing love through puppetry. Puppeteers are a special breed and I wish I had a tenth of their talent and joy! May that joy help Adam through this terrible thing!
Adam is incredible, and it's wonderful that you made this video in support of him! Been rewatching Tested's puppetry videos recently so glad to see this one
The two best Adams in the world. I love PuppetNerd! Bonnie Erickson and other famous Muppet builders denied that there was such a thing as Henson Stitch. But that stitch that they used to use has become popular as if it were a Henson invention, that one which was known as Ladder Stitch.

Hensen, yes, absolutely. That he had a special stitch for his magical creations? No! Fascinating! Thank you so much for providing this video! I sincerely hope that PuppetNerd recovers fully, and that this video helps draw folks to the GOFUNDME and his work. The puppets he created for you are wonderful!
Who knew it as as simple as making sure to brush the fluff in the right direction? Same with working with plush. And I use that baseball stitch/shoelace stitch when I do repairs as the first seam to reattach the sides of a tear together before I apply a patch, I find it's flexible enough to adjust a little bit to get the alignment just right and if you don't pull it tight, it doesn't remove material. I also use it for making my leather thimbles so I can get a good snug butted edge without an overlap, or if I can leave it a little loose as I expect the leather to stretch out and I can tighten it later like a shoelace when it does. And a bonus, seeing it demonstrated by a left-handed creator!
I lost my mother to brain cancer in 2005, it is an awful disease. I wish Adam Kreutinger a speedy recovery, he's an absolute treasure to the puppet community and his videos have been a very valuable resource to someone like me who used to be hopeless at sewing and puppet making. I certainly wouldn't have been able to create puppets without his tutorials. Thanks to him, I have been able to make several fraggle puppets for myself that actually work like puppets and also the legs don't even fall off anymore! :P
This is the best and most heart felt comment i have ever seen/read on youtube. I love puppetry and Jim Henson, but its not my something I've ever committed to but its so inspiring to me as an artist.
@@georgehenri9309 That's kind of you to say. ^_^ If you ever want to learn puppet making, I'm still not the greatest, but I can certainly point you in the right direction on how to get started. I'm also an artist (an illustrator by trade) and never thought that I'd ever be able to make puppets. It seemed out of reach, but Adam's videos made it much more accessible. :)
Wow. I don’t really know how I thought it was done, but this wasn’t it, because the end result looks so smooth and literally seamless I think I kinda thought some hi-tech process was involved, like 3D printing or latex moulds, but nope, just glue and hand stitching. And a ton of love & skill.
Weird. This is how I taught myself to sew when I was a little girl. I didn't know anyone who knew how to sew, so I had to figure it out on my own, and this is exactly how I did it. I liked to make my own stuffed animals. I started doing this when I was five years old. :)
It fills me with anger that a someone has to rely on gofundme-campaigns to survive cancer. Any system where the option to hopefully see your children grow up comes with the risk of ruining their financial stability, all without any guarantee of survival, is profoundly inhumane.
@@Trumpstinks If you trust the government to run your healthcare, you get what you ask for. If you like it so much, move over there. You won't be missed. I have seen that system first hand, and know people personally over there, and it isn't all sunshine and flowers. But keep on believing. Nothing comes free.
Hey, nice Muppet double, Adam. Also just wanted to say that I really appreciated that you showed off your sewing skills on camera on Mythbusters. That one scene (setting fleece shirts on fire) taught me that I can just try the machine out without judgment.
Making clothes and costumes takes a lot of skill, patience, and practice. There's NOTHING to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. It's a craft, no less than being a machinist or carpenter. Oh, my first few attempts at making Jedi robes for myself!
One thing I've learned to do is to take pride in making the World's Ugliest ____. In the end, if it's not super ugly, that's a secondary success, but more importantly you learned how to make the thing, and probably learned how to make it better a second time
this is how i normally hand stitch things together, i was never really taught how to hand stitch besides home economics class i just found it worked best.
You Rock and Roll Its so awesome to see puppet Nerd Get so much Love He Made Puppet Making Something Me And My Nephews Actually Think We Could actually make. Made Me Happy To See Adam Do This.
This is such a great video! I especially love all the behind the scenes and "how to" puppet content you and your team have been bringing us over the years.
There is definitely a crossed wire between my eyes and my compression. I misread the title as Henson Switch. And thought it was going to be about swapping one puppet for another puppet with different functionality mid performance, a la "Texas switch".
“Oh my gaaahd! I’m gonna go back to San Francisco and start makin some sheeeit!” Hahaha I love when Adam gets super excited about a new skill or tool in his arsenal and he can’t wait to use it!
I may have to try the version of this done from the "wrong side" of the fabric some time. I default to a blanket stitch (or occasionally backstitch if I have seam allowance I'd like to trim out) when hand sewing from the wrong side. I use the exterior version whenever I need to work on something that's already been turned, it ends up being much stronger/cleaner than a ladder stitch.
"The Puppet People"...That phrase reminds me of what I saw on a sign during the strike last year: "Now look what you've done! The Puppet People are here!" Puppeteers and suit actors were out on the picket lines just a few days before the strike was settled. Just being around them made me so happy I cried.
Well, it’s a standard baseball stitch but the technique with the fur, and the specific material is what makes it unique to Henson puppets. So yeah, you can technically tell people you can do the secret Henson workshop stitch, and tell people your bag is made the same way as Elmo! Hahah
As someone who has made Furry costumes for a living. I can tell you we used kinda the same stitch. We also used sewing machines called Strobels. We would set the stitches and tights possible. We would push the fur down while the machine ran. Finally we would brush the fur to make sure the seams would lay flat. The seams would disappear and make for almost flawless transitions between furs.
We should all have the luxury of experiencing the one thing that gives us fulfillment. How fortunate for a man to have found his one thing, how tragic that he must suffer. I am a better person for having seen this man sew a puppet.
Agreed! And videos like this are sure to help bring about more practical effects. I think the combination of both the practical effects and CGI when needed to enhance an effect is going to be the way to go
Thanks for bringing attention to that, I had to look it up. I don't follow puppet things so I wasn't aware. I wonder if that's why his hands are shaking so relatively young
After years of trial and error, I eventually figured out all those techniques by fixing my dog's squeaky toys over and over until the were almost no factory stitches left in them.
What would've been groovy for this video at least is for showing the example stitches using a contrasting color thread on the fabric, like a black thread on the orange, instead so it's visible to us the viewers as well.
@@ModdyPuppets I can see that. I grew up being taught it was a type of blanket stitch, because we used it to hand join quilt and crochet patches together.
If I knew I would have a place to live, i would LOVE to learn more about a crafting medium to do as a career, I just dont have the financial means to make such a huge leap with no certainty of being able to stay alive xD
We have three links to the GoFundMe and none of them are broken. We just quadruple checked, and based on all the recent contributions, it’s working for people. It is: www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-adam-and-his-family
Baseball stitch, same as me! I knew it! And only use locking whipstitch when its needed. I have a "comb" that I use that has about 10 straight pins in a row to quickly pick the seams. And I love using Guterman thread with fleece. Other tip I always offer up is to have a can of "Computer Duster" air handy when hot-gluing, then turn it upside down to release the refrigerant to flash cure hot glue. I used all of these when working on these Tested puppets... th-cam.com/video/Pv8srewV7yE/w-d-xo.html

It’s always so fun to learn different terms for things found by different communities that serve the same purpose just in different contexts.

Adam Kreutinger at Puppet Nerd is a treasure to the art of puppetry and a great inspiration!
💯

You can! 😃
Been working on perfecting the Henson Stitch (a modified ladder stitch) for my Kermit replica.
Anytime a puppet fabricator gets brain cancer, i wonder if places like Henson have stopped having open vats of Barge everywhere 😢
Thanks for bringing attention to that, I had to look it up. I don't follow puppet things so I wasn't aware. I wonder if that's why his hands are shaking so relatively young
Adam is a perfect hybrid of Beaker and Professor Honeydew.
disagree. He's at least 15% Fozzie Bear.
Well, he's certainly been injured often enough to qualify as Beaker!
After years of trial and error, I eventually figured out all those techniques by fixing my dog's squeaky toys over and over until the were almost no factory stitches left in them.
"Oh my god, I'm going to go back to San Franscisco, and start making some shiiiiiiiiiit." That's a crafter mentality right there.
