    For some reason I have never understood how to fibrous stitch even from other videos. Your video is the best explained I’ve ever watched. Thanks

    Thank you for this video - So far, my handle is working up well; however, the sides look sloppier than yours and I wanted to ask if you have any tips for this? Thank you again.

    • @FranniesHair
      @FranniesHair  8 месяцев назад

      I try to keep the tension the same as I go. When you’re first learning a stitch, you don’t have the muscle memory and the stitches may have varying tension. As you practice the stitch, that should resolve. Also, you want to make sure that you are not adding or subtracting stitches at the end of each row. Another thing you can do if you find that the sides looks sloppy is to put border on it at the end. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching!

    I have a dumb question I suppose but....do you make two of these? One for each side of bag or is it connected to each with one strap?

      Not a dumb question at all. I made one handle and attached each end of it to the sides of the bag. Thanks so much for watching!❤️

    i wanna make this but i don’t wanna use a ring i wanna attach it directly to the bag. how can i do that?

    • @FranniesHair
      @FranniesHair  7 месяцев назад

      You could crochet the strap directly onto the bag by using the same method of attaching to the ring, but instead attach to the purse. When you're done making the strap, you'll need to crochet the other end directly into the other side of the purse. I hope this makes sense. Thank you for watching!💕

    Que complicado y que perdida de tiempo. Es mejor hacer 2 tiras simples rapido y luego unirlas con punto corrido como yo hago y me quedan muy fuertes y bonitas.

    • @FranniesHair
      @FranniesHair  Год назад

      Eso suena como una buena solución también. Me gusta mucho la puntada térmica. ¿Lo has usado en absoluto?💕
