As a novice, this is easily the best beginner sewing tutorial I've seen. Everything is so clearly demonstrated and explained. All of the sewing is shown (including starting/stopping!) with practical guidance on how to do it all cleanly. And in under ten minutes! No unnecessary fluff! I'm excited to make this coaster over and over until I can achieve such straight corners and seams!
This is such a clear and well spoken tutorial, I'm going to use this when I get the materials to make coasters. I also appreciate you leaving your little mistakes in as it helps beginners like myself know how to worm around little blips :) Thank you!
Thank you for such clear directions! Great tutorial! I'm sharing your video with a friend who is learning to sew. This will be a great first project for her!😊👍
If you prewash your fabric and the felt then you should be able to make that work! I have never washed felt so I am unsure of it's shrink ratio and how it would hold up in the wash, perhaps test a piece first. But never prewash batting! it will fall apart without being sewn into a project. Hope that helps!
Hi Deb, my machine doesn't tell me a number. So if I just want a pretty decorative stitch I just adjust the length by moving a dial slightly longer. Hope that helps. Happy Sewing!
Question, when i snipped the thread after tucking the cloth for the too stitch, what do i do with the lower thread? I know the upper i tuck it backward under the presser foot but what do i do for the lower thread, do i open the bobbin case and re align it
Also, anytime i reverse stitch on my cloth, it gets caught into the needle plate, Im actually doing a zigzag stitch for mine because these are just practice cloths and theyre on stretchy fabric. But it seems my machine doesnt like when i secure the stitch with reverse stitiching. Is there an alternative?
Hi Rachel. I hope I understand your question correctly. The top thread you pull towards the back of your machine and you also pull the bobbin thread towards the back of the machine before you start a seam. You should not have to open the bobbin case for wash seam. Maybe before snipping threads you can pull the project a little more away from the machine giving you longer threads when you cut? If this doesn’t answer your question please try again! I would love to help. Happy sewing! 🧵
@@TamarasJoyDIY Thanks so much for responding! When i pull the cloth from under the presser foot, theres 2 threads to cut (top and lower) Im not sure what to do with the lower thread when im placing the cloth back down for the top stitch. Do i also pull the lower thread back with the top?
If you are having these problems you may not be using the correct needle for the fabric. Different fabrics need different sewing machine needles. Also, Check this video out to see if it can help solve your problem. ruclips.net/video/DWPGsK-C93w/видео.html I would also recommend not doing the zigzag stitch for this project. But if you are just practicing lines then it shouldn’t matter. Hope that helps! 🧵
Thanks for the tutorial. I've made a few of these, but I don't like that the seem where the hole was (to flip in inside out) is still open. Is there a way to close it?
If you flip it out and do a narrower seam allowance it will close it. Try an 1/8” seam allowance. And if you already have a 1/4” seam sewn around the outer edge that is ok. Two seams will look good too! Hope that helps Ashley. And happy sewing🧵
Easy video to follow and great beginner tips along the way. THANK YOU!!!

Can I use fusible fleece?
Definitely going to try this it look like a beginners friendly project. Can you use felt instead of batting? Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful coasters
Lovely demo thanks so much❤
Glad you liked it Doreen
Hi I'm kinda a new sewer could u use felt or something instead of the badding cuz I don't have that?

What is the finished size of the coaster supposed to be?
That was great. What size stitch did you use?

what brand and model of sewing machine do you have?
Nice, interesting.
But I cannot follow the video... Can you translate it in centimeters?
How I can do it without the measurements?
😩
What is the thickness of the bedding?pls
What else can I use if I Don't have batten
You could use a thicker piece of fabric in between. As long as you prewash all the fabrics ahead of time.
What badding that u used?
I used a low loft cotton batting. Hope that helps.
is batting the same as wadding?
I am pretty sure they are the same.
Ive got a new janome machine
