It's not an eyesore. Fast flow stitching is just anything, it's not meant to be drawing anything in particular.... it's about zoning out, going anywhere and feeling creative. You rocked it Tina!! Always be you..we all love you 💜
Thanks for asking these other 9 artists to try this with you Joie!! It’s been so fun to see what they will come up with next. ♥️❤️♥️
@@1771bubba you're very welcome Angela. Lots more like this to come!!👍🥰
Couldn't agree more Joie, well said! x
Poor Tina has been worrying about this….It turned out great Tina and what a great idea with the postcards! Please don’t apologise, you did great! 🙏🏻🌸
Morning Tina, please don't be so hard on yourself, you ARE NOT rubbish sew person. You DO this fast flow stitching ALL THE TIME on your master boards. I think you did fantastic job, I expect your tension was not playing the ball with you. You are a fantastic and creative woman and ALWAYS inspire with everything you do. Be kind to yourself, you are a STAR. Blessings and hugs always Diana
Gosh, so useful seeing your sewing machine Tina. Thanks so much for being a part of this Fast Flow Stitching collaboration. My attempt was a learning journey too... and I love this idea. The postcards are gorgeous. Getting lots of ideas from this. 🥰👍💜
I love the organic looking nature of these. I think your stitching works really well and I hope when you look at them in a few days time you’ll see that they are better than you think. You’re so good at pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
I agree with Holly, you've been doing free motion sewing all along. Your master board seeing is it. You're not seeing straight lines. You're doing good. Keep it up. Don't stop and don't be so hard on yourself. You're learning. Thumbs up to you.
I’m thrilled you tried something you weren’t quite comfortable with. By us seeing you try, we all know it’s okay to let loose and go a little crazy!! I love this series. Every time I see one of you 10 artists list this, I come running. Every single one of you has done something different! It’s been so fun.
I totally agree with joie de fi. I think it really cool. You need to be less hard on yourself. You rocked it. Thank you for sharing
You are a creative talented lady. Don't apologize. Good for you accepting this challenge.
I could never do this and have it look nice. So proud of you for going outside your comfort zone and giving it a try. You did a great job Tina! ❤️
When you sewed all over your Master board a while ago, it was totally free flow stitching!😊💜
Hi Tina, you definitely have the right idea of free motion quilting. I’ve been sewing since I’m 9 years old and I’m 65. So it’s been a while 😉. I’m also a quilter and have done a lot of free motion quilting/sewing on my quilts. I could never sew the way you do using the button. I think using the foot pedal is so much easier. You have so much more control.
The few stitches you do at the beginning are locking stitches so the thread doesn’t unravel. When you said maybe you should use the foot pedal, I was telling you, yes you should, but I guess you couldn’t hear me 😂. I liked your idea though using the smaller card on the post card and putting fabric on the back. I can’t wait to see how you decorate them. I think you did a great job and if you do decorate them further, they will be even prettier than they are now. Hugs 🤗
Love that you allways try to do your very, very best. 🤗💕
In this case for fast flow stitching it's about give your brain a break, don't control and don't think to much ( that's the hardest part I think 🥴).
Let it go - let it flow. 🎈🌸🎈🌸🎈
Girl stop putting yourself down!!!! You did awesome!
It makes me less afraid to try, seeing others struggle, then come out with a great project. Tina just create...I love your work!
Oh Tina you’re so brave: brave to try a new technique - - - and on video!! I tried free motion quilting once & it was so awful! I never tried again! I like straight lines just fine, thank you!! You’re such a “toughy”, I really admire you! I think the finished projects are great & I love your ruffles! Laughed to see you use a mini screwdriver to make them! Keep on keeping on! Great video!
I think they look great 👍🏻 and it’s awesome that u are trying something new and bold enough to share it with us…that is inspiring…thank u
THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing us how we may have less than stellar results as we begin!!! Sometimes I can be overwhelmed with new techniques and you showed me with practice and determination we can learn. Doing the postcards was a great idea and liked yours lots!!!!!
Hi Tina! Way to go. You are such a strong woman to persevere a challenge your nervous about. I think you did just fine! 👏👏👏👏
Tina, you are so entertaining....I just love watching your videos and listening to you talk....
Tina ..you are so courageous ,trying something so different for you..I love your art work..keep on keeping on..you make things beautiful,a reflection of you🤗🤗
Tina! Best part of junk journaling is it can look all kinds of wonky!!!! What you did is unique and who wants to be like everyone else! Watch Rachel's she did curves and straight lines and leaves and there ya go! Every piece is special and so are you for giving it a try!!!!! Proud of you! Be nice to yourself. We all love ya!
Tina I think your postcards look awesome! From all the ladies I've seen doing this, the point is not to be perfect. You did great and I love the postcards! Hugs....
Tina, you are too hard on yourself! I agree with everyone that you have been free flow stitching on your master boards and have done an excellent job! I love that you used postcards. This has been such a fun collaboration and I am so glad you participated. Hugs and blessings, 🇨🇦🤗❤️
Omgosh Tina, there is no way my anxiety would ever let me do something like that!!! I do love how you ruffle and the overall look of it! 🥰
Lovely collab and such fun! TFS the inspiration, Tina!
🔆i so admire you giving this a go!!! I actually love quilting, and I’ve TRIED free motion sewing many times, but can’t seem to get it. It can be quite challenging! I think you did a fabulous job😃👍🏼
Perfect Fast Flow stitching Tina!!! BEE-utiful!! Namaste 🧶✌️🐞🥰🧶
Tina you did a great job! I love the idea of the little picture/postcard on top of the big postcard! Circles are no easy to do, I think they all came out great, love the ruffle too. Looking forward to seeing what else you do to them! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tina, love the post cards! Like your idea and most inspiring! Your sewing was just fine. Great collaboration and thanks for sharing.👍❤️
I loved the last one that was my thinking...great attempt!
Oh Tina you did such a good job, free motion is not easy and as you say it takes lots of practice. You may find it easier with the foot pedal it’s all about the speed of your hands and foot together. Love the ruffles on the edge just finished them off. Thanks for doing it on video for us . Great job. X
WONDERFUL VIDEO TINA-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS
I don’t understand, why you think these are hideous.For a first timer they are jolly good, you should be proud, buying a new foot and giving it ago, when you suffer from anxiety at the best of times. They are not hideous, they give character and texture, loved this. Thank you xx😁❤️🧚🏾♀️🌺
Your doing and Great Job!! Confidence my friend!!
I agree, if you use the foot pedal you can adjust your speed and it will look better, and you will feel better. But you are doing great. And Its awesome to step out of our comfort zones. Great Job!
Here is some Positive constructive criticism.... I also think the black thread is too dark on some of them, and would probably look better to use white or cream color maybe? Or maybe a color that matches some of the color images on the colored ones. You just need practice. And self confidence! Some of them looked great. I love sewing on projects. And sometimes I think the messy look is better than a neat look. Please try not to be so negative and hard on yourself. You had the courage to try something that was difficult and way outside your comfort zone and to do it on camera for us all! Be proud of yourself. You will only grow from here. And also, if you find out that this type of thing is not your cup of tea after trying several times, there would be nothing wrong with realizing your limitations either, Its growth to learn limitations also. But I think you will do great cuz they already look pretty darned great to me.
Love your results!!!
Well done for giving free motion stitching a go, as already mentioned you have done free motion stitching on master boards, and everything you've done looks fab!
How fun! You did great! 💕
It would be easier with the foot pedal. That's all I have so I'm used to varying the speed. Also a larger circle would probably be easier. You made me laugh and I love your determination! Love your videos!!
As Holly said you’ve been doing free fast flow stitching when you did your master board. These turned out okay. Love the postcards and a completely different project to the others in the collaboration. Much love. Xxx
You did great! Free motion stitching is used most often in quilting to create a design while anchoring all of the layers together. To use it on paper is a whole other thing! You're showing people it's ok to jump in and try something that is new and uncomfortable! I think you did great! You were correct when wondering if you'd have more control with a pedal. It let's you speed up and down depending on your design and materials. 3 cheers for you!!!
Not rubbish at all! You're doing it!
I might be crazy as a loon, but I give you credit for giving this a try, especially since you had no clue what it was when you were invited to join the other ladies in making this kind of stitching. I'd a stuck my head in the sand and pretended that I didn't get the invitation! I am not good with publicly doing something that I've never done before.
Tina you did a fantastic job! My Hubby bought me my first sewing machine for our 32nd Anniversary when I was committed to JJ and boy do I still have a lot to learn so if you can do this then I've definitely got to give this a try! Thanks for all your inspiration and creativity!🤗
Have more faith in yourself. You always do lovely work
So pleased you used the do dah foot, tea for you is like spinach to pop eye. This has been the best collaboration, so informative, such fun, You and Tracie have really put yourselves on the line for this and I so appreciate it 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Got to say I'm not a fan but I admire you all for doing this challenge thanks
I’m am just like you, if I think I’m going to suck at something I put it off as long as possible. I’m so inspired my you facing your fear, researching it and finally just giving it a go! Right on lady! Lol
Tina, you’re too hard on yourself, you’re doing something you’ve never done before so give yourself some grace! I don’t even have a clue what this is all about & at least you’re giving it a try! I’m proud of you & maybe it will just take time to do what it is you want to do! I still love watching you even though I’ve never even heard of what you’re doing!😊 Hugs!🥰
I'm going to just mimic what everyone else here is saying. Your work is ALWAYS beautiful and you are so inspiring. You accepted the challenge and although it was funny to listen to you calling every piece "rubbish" most of us don't agree. It was fun watching you. 😊👍
I'm loving this collaboration. Tina love everyone has used their normal foot and just did squigly sewing! Nobody else I've seen has dropped their feed dogs either. I think you've worried a little much sweetheart as you've done fast flow before. Lol you're doing it fine lol you should have just watched Joie or Luise. Yeah you can stop and start with your. Oh bless you, you're doing exactly what you need to! Free motion is more precise but this is fast flow. You're right to secure the fabric first as it would slip around. I have to say you're very brave doing a video when you're that nervous 🤗🤗. Honestly just watch Luise and you'll see you've done fine, you're too hard on yourself🤗🤗🤗. Shorter stitch length should tidy your zigzag up. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖
I loved Luise's video... Those journalling spots and the pages. 🥰👍
I'm loving everyone's so far, so different but all cool. But yes, Louis has a very unique slant on things. Barbara's is so cute 😍 xxx
It’s not a bad circle it’s called messing stitching and people work hard trying to get that look and u did it very well 👍🏻🌺
A wing and a prayer works for you. Good job on these. Yes a pedal with the sewing machine would be better. Much love ❤❤❤
At least yours do look like circles, mine resemble the drunken antics of an ink drenched spider. Well done 💕
Free motion is best done with a foot pedal because you can control the speed at which you stitch. The other thing to keep in mind is to keep your speed consistent which will help you to have the same stitch length throughout your piece. Practice makes perfect is the saying to go by! I also believe that this collaboration was not meant to create perfection but rather to try out something new and put your own personal spin on it and most of all just to have fun! You are way to hard on yourself Tina, you did great!
Yayyyyy. Free motion is exactly that. Move around and give it a whirl
Speed up a bit. Seems to help when free motion quilting I know.
Yes. Practice does help. It's pretty hard to figure out the motion and speed that goes together.
Looks great
Still better than what I could do! LOL
I appreciate your willingness to give it hell! I think this turned out phenomenally well!
Love ya!
Su
Good effort.
LoL, I know nothing about sewing but you made me laugh watching you doing this, it's all about learning.
Good for you for trying this. I know nothing about it, either.
Tina, I’m so proud of you for doing this collaboration! I am not good at the sewing machine at all, or with anything tech! I try the sewing machine every once in a while but not a lot! Maybe I’ll give it a go again! Thank you for sharing! I think all the pieces look great! You did a wonderful job! 🥰
You did well
I think you did very well for your first time!! I’ve never tried it, but I may try doing it too. Congrats for being brave!! ❤️
Your creativity and courage is such an inspiration Tina! I can't wait to see how you decorate these cards. Your projects always turn out awesome!
I think these are lovely Tina. It's not about perfection. The only thing that would bother me us the back tension, that stuff drives me crazy 🤪
Hilarious as usual. Looks fun though.
One thing I learned about sewing machines....a dull needle will make a big difference with your stitches. Before you change your tensions.....try changing the needle!
Yep,a pedal would have given you better control,I have never done this,It is bonkers,interesting,and looks like fun
I think you did well for the first time. Free flowing isn’t just circles.
Slow your stitch speed and you will have more control…free flow is somewhat different than free motion…you can do it with the feed dogs up and the foot peddle used to go at a changeable pace…I have watched all the videos in this challenge so far and it really has evolved…you are sure giving it a great try and I am enjoying watching you figure it out ❤️hugs
Your doing good, even doing quilting you have to practice, practice doing this type of sewing. For quilting there are different shape guides you can use also. I would check out free quilting sewing on you- tub also, as it is done the same way. I hope this information has help others.
Thank you so much Gail, I appreciate your tips, it’s so much trickier than it sounds! Lol x
I was out of general purpose needles and had to use an embroidery needle made by
SCHMETZ. I compared needles and found out that the embroidery needle has a much more pointed tip, which you need for embroidery because the stitches are so close to each other. I also found out that you don't get the high bumps on the back of the paper/cardstock.
I love these! Brilliant!! 💗
Tina, “appalling” “eyesores” are kind of the point. The randomness and messiness are part of the charm to me. True that other people’s are more regular or fluid, or whatever, but this is a different take on it. If you had owned this and declared it was your intent, I would have totally ‘bought it’. And your postcard idea is really original. But i think this is just outside your comfort zone, although by the end you seem to be embracing the whole thing. Good for you.
the slider just above the needle button is your speed , just slide it back . i have a similar brother machine
why do you give yourself such a hard time, you do this free flow all the time on your masterboard and other things and it always turn out lovely, have more faith in your skills xxx
The tension is needs to be a bit higher with thinner materials. You can see on the back that the bobbin thread is not being pulled up into the plane of the paper. I grew up sewing, so I tend to what to help with these types of things. You've got the gist of free motion, though! :)
I am going to definitely try to figure out how to do this on my $99. Cheap Brother. No buttons all knob's. I have got to find some universal self threading machine needles 🪡 for it and the old Kenmore. I can't see good enough to get it through the hole. Not even with the little metal thing that is supposed to help, have to see to get some thread through.
Agreed. I put my tension on setting 4 at least on my Elna. For sewing on paper that is. Normally I go with 2 or maybe 3, depending on the fabric I’m using.
Good for you for trying new things! I'm afraid of my sewing machine (pathetic).🤒
Thank you so much Vicki, I know what you mean about the sewing machine, lol x
@@shabbydabbydoodah 😚❤
I don’t know if anyone has said this yet but to really see free form I have to lower the feed dogs on my machine. Feed dogs are the rough metal pieces under your sewing foot that grip and help push your fabric along. There is a button on the back of my Brother machine behind the sewing foot area I push to the side and it lowers the feed dogs. Hope this helps
Sew not see - stupid iPhone!
🌞🌼❤️🌸🇨🇦
So glad you bought the free motion foot for your sewing machine:) Did you have your stitch length on "O" (zero)? Very neat video!!
Why did you not use fabric I would think that would be easier and you could go from one side to the other and different lines instead of just going around in a circle
Sometimes we want to get out of our comfort zone and try something new , even when it’s hard. I think Tina’s succeeded brilliantly- I love her results and, to me, better for not looking “perfect”.
Tina, baby girl. I just love you. WE love you. Now come here so I can grab you by the shoulders and shake you. STOP talking to and about yourself the way you do. It absolutely hurts my heart to hear you describe your work the way you do. You are a beautiful woman both inside and out who is, apparently, more gifted and talented than you realize. Oy woman! Try as hard as you possibly can to see yourself the way we do. I read the comments... I see how many people you inspire, both newbies and oldies. So knock that trash talk off or honest t' Pete I'll fly there myself along with 500 more of your subbies and have a word or two with you in person and I don't think you want THAT now, do you? Love and hugs, MK ❤🤗🏜❤
Thank you so much MK for your kindness, it really means so much to me, oh and made me chuckle too as your comments always do. Hope you’re doing great xx
It's not the worst looking circle. Free motion stitching is FUN! Yes, there are people who are quilters who can draw with it with accuracy, that's not me. I love the mess I can make with free motion. So you just go ahead and love whatever happens. Thanks for your videos! It may not be your tension (although it could), it. could be the speed you push it around. You just have to practice to get a feel for it.
I think your biggest problem is that embroidery foot that you’re using. Barbara at 49dragonflies used the regular foot and she had no issues. I think you have done free flow stitching in the past, just didn’t know that’s what it was called. That foot makes everything run amok.
Free motion is anything other than straight lines not just circles and as someone else mentioned its similar to when you do your masterboards......Tracie didn't do perfect circles at all.... and she had 3-4 attempts she wasn't happy with. I thought you all did amazingly well and stop always putting your attempts down be more positive! x
It's good to show mistakes and working around them. I honestly think you may have started with too small of materials for this first go round. Try larger pieces for a while 🥰
