Exactly the video I was looking for. Great!!
Great video! to the point.
Great video!! Off to buy one! I have one of those little machines and they aren't great
Exactly. The holes on the machines are too small and if the blades are sharp enough to actually cut off the pilling it can grab the fabric and make a hole. Fuzz brick forever!
great to learn how to get ride of fuzz!
It’s a satisfying little trick!
While I love the speed and efficiency stones and combs provide when I am in a rush; I find them to be counter productive in the long run. My problem with the stone and comb is they pull more fibers loose. Meaning once you're done new pilling starts immediately on the loosened fibers. Shaving the fabric leaves the surface smooth and free of loose fibers. Therefore I get more use out of the garment before having to depill the item again.
Has anyone else experienced this or not?
Cheers!
Yes, that can be a side effect of this technique. One way to get rid of the loose fibers is to quickly flash a lighter/flame over the service of the fabric and it will either burn or melt the fibers on the very surface. Don't hold the flame in any one spot for an extended period of time. But just quickly pass it over the surface and it'll look much cleaner.
@@TailorItYourself If you dont mind me asking, does it have to be a lighter? If you're just looking to melt the fibers, would running a hair dryer over the clothes work? I would rather not put fire near my clothes if i could help it
A hair dryer will not work. You want something that will get hot quickly in a very small area. Even if you used a heat gun it will end up melting areas around it you don't want to melt. A lighter allows you to control small areas. It's fine as long as you flash it quickly on the fabric. Don't keep it lit long, especially in one area.
Would this work on Sherpa? I really need to clean up a sherpa blanket. It's a mess! lol
Possibly. I can't say without seeing the condition and knowing your exact issue. But the fuzz brick will pull off pilling on pretty much anything.
What’s the brand of this stone? This is super cool!
It's Restora.
Question: I bought one of these from Home Essentials but found it leaves pumice “dust” - is that common, or perhaps I just got a bad brand?
The one I use in the video also does that. Just the nature of the product!
I’ve seen these at Dollar General
I wonder if this would work for my merino sweater? I don’t want to snag the material.
It will work on any fabric, except super light weight like silk, etc.
@@TailorItYourself thanks I got one and it’s amazing! I have one for fine knit and one for cotton knits.
That's great! Glad it's working for you =]
You should make a onlyfans page 😍
Ha! Maybe some day =)
@@TailorItYourself that’s a terrible idea and I hope you really don’t consider that
