OMG I have aneven older machine than you and thank god for this video. I’m just a beginner at using my machine for scrapbooking and you’ve shown me more in this video then I have seen anywhere else. Thank you thank you.
Good tutorial. It was nice to see you face-to-face. You're such a regular person...I love it! I'm now going back and seeing what I've missed before I knew of you.
Haha Thanks Janice! I am leery about being in FRONT of the video a bit, but I know when I watch channels, I like to know what the person looks like, etc., too!
Thank you a million times over. I have done very little stitching on my pages- I have never even touched a sewing machine outside of this realm.So you made this look easy enough to keep trying.
Thank you Audrey for explaining how to stitch. I want to start stitching once I get a sewing machine (nothing too fancy) and this has help me learn a lot before I get started. I haven't sewed in years... I'm 65 now but I had a sewing class in high school.
Thank you! This is awesome! I just got a stitch happy machine and I have never sewed before. I was too intimidated to turn it on. Now I can't wait to try it out! Looking forward to part 2!
I like using my sewing machine to sew around the 2 long and one open edge of a empty toilet roll… flattens them instantly ready to make cute little scrapbook pockets 🤗 And all those dull sewing needles from sewing all these years that I’ve never actually thrown away but collected in packets and thrown in the sewing junk drawer…. now actually have a purpose… as my dull papercraft needles!! - It’s like I knew I’d kept them for a reason and I’m not just a hoarder! 😂
Great tutorial ....this is just what I was looking for...I make. Junk Journals....wanted to add sewing to my pages. I've sewed for many years ,but not for a while....Thank you...👍🏻😊
Thank you for this video. I bought my machine months ago and was so fearful of trying to learn how to stitch paper that I didn’t touch it in all those months. You just made it simple for me and I can do it! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
omg thank you so much for this video! It's perfect timing because I inherited an old singer and have no idea what I'm doing and have been wanting to use it for scrapbook pages! Great tips about adhesives & paints! Looking forward to your next video. maybe you could end the video with some examples of stiching on your pages. Thanks again!
Thank you for a great video. I have a Singer Featherweight that I use for quilting. It only has a straight stitch (forward and back), of course, no zig zag, and I’ve started using it in my junk journal pages. What fun! I knew most of what you taught, but needed a reminder to not use tape if sewing. I’m looking forward to watching part 2 and beyond; thanks again!
This is such a helpful video! I just bought my first sewing machine to sew on my papercrafts and I'm so happy I found this video before I started. Thanks so much, Audrey! Also, I love the name Audrey... so pretty!
Thank you so much, Audrey, for this informative video!! I have wanted to stitch on my layouts with my machine, but just didn't feel comfortable doing it. You made it look so easy. Thanks for all the tips also!!!
Great video series. Nobody ever talks about what to do with stitching. Looking forward to learning more. I am always worried about putting a layout in my sewing machine and messing it up.
This was very helpful, but I couldn't find the second video. Could you provide a direct link, please? Also, how can you tell if your tension is too tight vs too loose? Thanks in advance!
I'm a first timer using the sewing machine on scrapbook pages. Part 1 was very informative but what happened to the rest of the videos. I can't seem to find them on your channel. I was looking forward to the other videos.
Fran Brown ~ I have a question about tension. What is the rule of thumb for different weights of paper. I've noticed on the bobbin side quite often looks messy, especially when sewing tag tucks on inside of card stock. The colored side looks terrible.
Awesome tips! I used to stitch in my layouts but my machine started messing up like the tension was wrong and it couldn't be fixed no matter how much I tweaked it. I thought about trying a different thread and it didn't worked. It kept doing a messy tangle on the back. Do you recommend a specific thread? Or any tips on fixing this?
When my bobbin thread bunches up on the back it is usually one of two reasons: My needle and upper portion is threaded wrong (or the bobbin may be threaded wrong) or secondly, my needle was too dull. I would try a brand new bobbin with new thread and refresh yourself on how to thread your machine correctly (even if it means going back to your user manual, which I had to do before!). Also, get a new needle (and make sure you put it in the right way)...that can make a world of difference! Hope this helps and good luck!
Thank you so much, Audrey! Can you show how to know if it's the bottom or top tension needs to be adjusted, and how to fix it? I can't really tell on paper. Thanks again! Take care, Kim :)
I will try to work that in sometime, Kim! Generally, if the bobbin thread is showing on the top, your needle tension is too tight (OR your bobbin is too lose). Most of the time, you are adjusting your needle tension. Some machines (like mine) require playing around with the bobbin case and a screwdriver to get the bobbin tension adjusted (which is a PAIN!). you may want to see what your manual says for your machine!
Since this was marked as "part 1", I thought there would be a "part 2", but I can not find one. I would like to at least see pages you have completed that shows the stitching you have done, or paper/sewing project you may have done other than scrapbooking. I found this very informative, but would like to see more.
With time, your bobbin case will pick up small bits of paper and it can cause tension problems. It's a good idea to look carefully in the bobbin case and sweep out any clumps!
Thank you for this video, I refer to it often. 6 years after it’s released it is still up to date and relevant.
Did you ever do Part 2, discussing zigzag and decorative stitching? This tutorial was very helpful. Thank you.
OMG I have aneven older machine than you and thank god for this video. I’m just a beginner at using my machine for scrapbooking and you’ve shown me more in this video then I have seen anywhere else. Thank you thank you.

YES! Keep trying and it gets easier with time! Best of luck and thank you!
What a great help. Loved this lesson. I don't have a sewing machine but I've love your demonstration of how to sew on scrapbook page. Thanks again !
Thanks so much Willie!
Thank you. I liked how you demonstrated the stitch being tighter or looser (longer) Thanks so much.
Thanks so much Audrey, you are very kind to share your knowledge with us and it is much appreciated!
Thanks so much Marilyn!
Thank you so much for covering ALL the bases of sewing on paper!!
Thank you Audrey for explaining how to stitch. I want to start stitching once I get a sewing machine (nothing too fancy) and this has help me learn a lot before I get started. I haven't sewed in years... I'm 65 now but I had a sewing class in high school.
It's never too late to start something new!!!! Good luck! But be careful because it's addicting!! haha!
Very good demonstration. Even if you already sew on your pages, you can always find something that can be helpful. Thanks
Really good points re: glue and different needle for paper! Thanks! Looking for part 2, now 😊
Thank you, Audrey, very helpful!
Hey Audrey, wondering if you did a second part to this video. I can’t seem to find it. Thanks 😊
Thank you! This is awesome! I just got a stitch happy machine and I have never sewed before. I was too intimidated to turn it on. Now I can't wait to try it out! Looking forward to part 2!
Oh thank you so much Lauren! I hope you are successful!
Thank you! Didn't know what needle I needed etc so massive thank you !

Thank you so much Audrey for this excellent tutorial. I am now eager to machine stitch on my pages.
So glad you found this helpful and thank you for watching!
Thank you Audrey. I bought a sewing machine so that I could do this, but had no idea where to start. Very informative.
Yay! Good lucky Kathy!!!

You saw a need and are filling it. Yay you! Love this.
Thanks so much! I have been wanting to do this for a long time!
Hope you will continue making videos as this was great help. I'll be waiting for more great information.
Thank you so much Ruthann! I need to get the 2nd part of this video done! :)

Thanks so much April! I will definitely add some examples next time....great idea!
My new machine was delivered today...this video is soooo helpful. Thanks soooo very much!

Very helpful video, thanks. Waiting for part 2 now..
Thanks so much Jennifer!
Extremely helpful, especially about the glue/tape.
Thanks so much for this! You have really helped me understand how to stitch on my pages.
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that!
Hi Audrey, Thank you sooo much for sharing. I have looked for video's on this and there are not many. You have been very helpful. Thanks again.;)
Thanks so much Deborah!
Thank you so much, Audrey, for this informative video!! I have wanted to stitch on my layouts with my machine, but just didn't feel comfortable doing it. You made it look so easy. Thanks for all the tips also!!!
Hope you try it!!! Good luck and thank you!
I just got a little sewing machine just for this purpose. Thanks for all the tips !
So helpful! I just got a machine and will be sewing for the first time. I hope you make part 2 (and 3 and 4). 😀
you were born to be a teacher 😍😍😍
You are sweet! Thanks so much!
Great video series. Nobody ever talks about what to do with stitching. Looking forward to learning more. I am always worried about putting a layout in my sewing machine and messing it up.
Thanks so much! That's why I always go for a "messy" stitching look because even if I mess up, most of the time you can't tell! lol!
Thank you for all the great tips can't wait to see next video 😁
Just what I needed. Thanks so much. I look forward to the next one.
Very helpful! I'm looking forward to the next one,
I'm eagerly awaiting Part 2! I loved part 1 and learned a lot!
Thank you so much! It's in the works!
@@audreykit1 is it still in the works? Longest wait ever.
So great! Thanks for such an informative video!
Great info. Thank you. I would love to see your next part 2 video.
This is so helpful! I hope you do a part two soon! Thanks Audrey !
Excellent! Thank you so much.
That is so helpful. I was wondering how to do this. Thank you for sharing😊 Julie
Thank you so much JD!
Thank you so much, perhaps in other tutorials you could use the brown in the front, especially for those of us with bad eye sight. ❤️❤️❤️
Super helpful video. Thank you so much!!
OMG, where have you been all my life? I really enjoyed this tutorial, you’re a great teacher! Thanks for sharing and all your tips! Just subscribed 💕
This was great thanks....can I ask what happened to part 2?
Great tutorial! Could you link to the 2nd and 3rd videos? I’m struggling to find them on your channel! Thanks :)
This was very helpful, but I couldn't find the second video. Could you provide a direct link, please? Also, how can you tell if your tension is too tight vs too loose? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for the great tips.

New subscriber. Thanks for sharing your wisdom
Thank you for subscribing!
I JUST found you today and am a new subbie! Did you ever do part 2? I would love to see it, but I can't seem to locate it in your videos.
I have not, yet, Cheryl! But I am working on it! Thanks so much for watching!
I appreciate the video. This was 4 years ago though. How long exactly does a part 2 take you to do? 🤔
Great tips. Thanks so much!
Audrey, I was wondering if you ever made Part 2 for the sewing machine videos. I enjoyed Part One. And I know you mentioned doing a few more. Thx
Hi. Thank you. Awesome. Something to think about...
Thank you for this super informative video! On fabric we have to backstitch to keep the stitch from coming undone. Is that necessary on paper?
Thank you for your wonderful tips. I haven’t stitched on on a layout yet, but hope to very soon.
Can you stitch a binding - make a little notebook? Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. Maybe its just me but I can't seem to find part two of this.
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for your comment. And, yeah, it's not just you....I haven't put up part 2 yet! :( You have given me the nudge to put it up!!
Fran Brown ~ I have a question about tension. What is the rule of thumb for different weights of paper. I've noticed on the bobbin side quite often looks messy, especially when sewing tag tucks on inside of card stock. The colored side looks terrible.
Hmmmm, that's a good question Fran. I am not sure about the different weights of paper. I might have to experiment to find out!
Awesome tips! I used to stitch in my layouts but my machine started messing up like the tension was wrong and it couldn't be fixed no matter how much I tweaked it.

How do you clean your machine that would be good to see
when will you do another video for zigzag and other stitches?
Very informative!
Thank you!
Thank you for te tips 👍🏼😃
Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much Monica! The 2nd video is on my "To Do" list! I hope to get it up in the next couple weeks...
@@audreykit1 I am waiting this part 2!!
This is wonderful... thank you...
Thank you so much for watching!
Hey, did I miss Part 2? I got machine for Christmas, broke my shoulder and it's never been used? Can you help?
If your paper or thread were colored, it would be easier to see the stitches. Thank you for your video.
With time, your bobbin case will pick up small bits of paper and it can cause tension problems. It's a good idea to look carefully in the bobbin case and sweep out any clumps!
Thanks for that tip Fran!!
Thank you
Hi...do you sew chipboard? I see it on albums but I can't find a tutorial and I am afraid they must have a commercial machine. Help!
Thanks...Donna
Hi Donna! yes, I do sew through chipboard! My advice is to go really slow, and use a sharp needle...perhaps one you would use for denim. Good Luck!
Have you sewn with Bakers Twine and if so do you have a tutorial?
Hi Cindy! I have NOT sewn with bakers twine. I believe you have to have a special needle and bobbin....Thank you for watching.!
Maybe next time use a contrasting thread. It was hard to see really what you were doing with white on white.
I'm curious about how to sew through chipboard.
I am working on a video for that! Thanks for watching!
My machine is very very similar
My first Singer( a cheap heavy cast iron one) was 40 years old when I changed it for another Singer.Bad move to use white thread on white card....
