I always use 100 Poly thread. It has just enough 'give' so it doesn't break while using it. If your jeans have decorative stitching, you may want a thicker, cotton thread that will match. Have fun sewing!

@@stephaniessewingstudio Thank you!

Thank you, these are so fun to make!

Hello! I am not sure what part of the video has music instead of talking. I talked most of the time. I hope the video is not malfunctioning!

You can do it!!!!!

I hope you have fun! They will love these blankets more and more the older they get. Happy sewing!

Thank you for watching! Practice, Practice, Practice. And if you need to.... Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate.

You can do it! You will love it when it is done. Could you please tell me, in another comment, what frustrations you had? It would really help this video/tutorial.

@ if I have any, I would be glad to.

The lining should be shorter! 2" is a bit much, I usualy go 1" - 1 1/2". Your goal is to not see the lining. And, I cannot remember if the lining was the same. But you are right, the lining should be shorter.

I am so glad. Remember to thank your military for their service, and if you worked on your families uniform, thank you!!

I KNOW we would be besties!

ruclips.net/video/1iyoNVuuTHw/видео.html Hi Nancy! Here is the link to the Memory Bear I created for her. I am glad you liked hearing my thought processes, problem solving is the key to all sewing! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you so much, you are so kind. :)

SUSAN!! Thank you so much, you are the best!

Thank you so much! I see you are also a Stephanie, I have never met a Stephanie I didn't like! I really appreciate you watching, if I ever teach in-studio, I will let you know. :)

Yes, absolutely. This is a great suggestion, and I am sure it would look really nice. I might try this!

I am glad you learned a few things! Thank you for watching. :)

AGH!!! I didn't catch this. Good eye!

Honestly, I cannot remember! I know my nail was damaged, but I cannot remember how. I have never put a needle through my nail, so it had to be something else. Thanks for the sympathy, though. My hands are always in bandaids!

I do have a shop in town that carries vinyl, and I buy from her sometimes. But, I like Fabric Warehouse Direct. Sometimes suppliers want to ship it on a roll, which is necessary but expensive. If they fold it, sometimes the folds stay.

I sew this blanket on Hope, which is a Singer 403A from 1957. So her settings are just, long stitch with a ball point needle. But, honestly, the ball point needle only helps a little. If I were to do this on my Opal Viking, I would put the setting on Stretch heavy, with a 4.5 length stitch. I hope this helps!

I thought a blanket was not quilted. After looking at definitions, you are right. But in my brain, doing this on a machine is not quilting. I imagine my grandma with a needle and quilting frame, going 8 stitches per inch. I have made a blanket like this, without batting, just flannel, for a summer throw. But, I am still not sure if that would be a blanket or a quilt, because I would still sew them together.

You can do it! Have a good trip!

I am using 1/2 " because it is easy to add up. But, lots of times I need to use less or more to make it fit.

Thank you for watching! I appreciate you!

Hi Cely! I am so glad you like my design, it works well for me! If I were to make an XL twin, I would definitely add to the width. The problem you will run into, is that most t-shirts have a logo or design 14" - 18" wide. That is why a 33" wide pattern works so well. Perhaps an extra row of t-shirts down the middle? Think creatively about how to make it work. Problem solve, Cely, you can do it!

Thank you! Problem solving is the best skill to have when sewing. I try to leave in my mistakes, so you can problem solve with me. Thanks for watching!

Hello! This is a 28" bear, and I use my own pattern. It is big enough to hug and love! I made my own pattern, because I couldn't find a good one to use. It is for sale on my website. www.stephaniessewingstudio.com/single-project

Let's Gooooooooo! Mountaineers!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much. I also love vintage machines, I always look for them at Goodwill. I have two spare machines just like Hope in my storage room. They may look like Hope, but they just aren't. Thank you for subscribing!

Thank you! She is truly vintage, and I love her. I have never made her go as fast as she can go. I literally use my big toe to barely press the pedal. Thanks for watching!

You are another version of me! But, my Mom just let me learn on my own, I never took a lesson. Although, I did try to tell my sewing teacher in Jr. High how to sew.

@@stephaniessewingstudio My mother's sewing machine has one speed - FAST. She was convinced I would sew through my fingers. I have early memories of sitting and watching her cut out fabric and sew.

Sewing is more than a skill, its love.

You get it. :)

I never heard of a Hump Jumper! I am going to look for one. And, I have a buttonhole attachment somewhere in my bins, I am going to get it out to try it. Thank you for these suggestions!

That means you are completely awesome! Thank you!

I am so glad I could be of help!

I don't know why I love what I do , but I love it! Thank you!

I love size 90. If the needle is too thick (size 100) it makes a sound I don't like when it goes through the layers. :/

Absolutely! I have used hoodies, sweat pants, dresses, even socks!

Hello! This particular machine has a knee pedal. The cabinet comes with a place to put it, otherwise you would have to use it as a foot pedal. I plan to do a video about this machine soon. Thanks!

Hello! I actually have a knee operating machine pictured here. Any pedal needs practice. You can do it!

Yes! I think that would work better when you stitch to bind the layers together. It will be thinner and easier to fit under the arm of your sewing machine.

I have tried to use a walking foot when sewing the layers together. My old Singer walking foot kept coming apart and slowing me down substantially. If you have a different machine with a walking foot, you should try it. In theory it should work, but the thickness may prevent it from working well. I would love to hear back from you with your machine make and model, and let me know if it works!

I wish I had a Bernina, they are such good machines. I have a couple of Viking Husqvarna and I really like them as well. Thanks for sharing sweet memories!

@@stephaniessewingstudio What Bernina model do you have your eye on? Vintage or new. I have several vintage machines. 830, 930, 1006, 1030. All mechanical machines with very strong motors. Next time you are in DC area, I would love to have you visit and pick one up. My gift to you..

That is a very generous offer! I have only seen my friend use one briefly, but she loves hers. I haven't even looked at the models, now that you are offering I will take a look. So kind! I will let you know if I get down that way. Its only 4 hours!

I would ditch it. Too much trouble, not only will nobody be able to tell, but it won't make a different in the hem.

I have since acquired a duck bill pair of scissors, how did you know! But, the finger holes are so small it hurts my hands. So, my favorite scissors are my blunt-end Ginghers. My my assistant uses them all the time.

You get it! Thanks for watching!

I took it apart, and made a pattern by putting the pieces on paper. Good question!

There is a pattern for sale on my website. Good luck, you can do it! www.stephaniessewingstudio.com/

You can do it! Your family will love them!
