I'm watching this now in 2024. This video very relevant. I have a basic sewing machine and I have always been more than a bit dubious about sewing on paper. Now I am going to give this a go. ❤❤❤😊😊😊 thank you, Angela. PS I have a separate machine for material.
Thank you Angela! You are such a great teacher!! I have a super fancy sewing machine so I would just like to add my opinion that unless you have been a seamstress for quite a while, I would recommend a simple sewing machine just like Angela’s! Much less to go wrong and simpler to operate!! Listen to Angela as her instructions/ tips are wonderful!! Also, no matter what type of machine you have, a review is always helpful!!💕
You are such a sweetheart Donna! Yes, a basic model is the way to go for paper sewing. Thank you so much for your fabulous review too, bless you! 🤗🌷🦋🐥🌸💗
Thank you so much ,I was having trouble sewing on paper the holes were to big.Change needle everything good in my little world now. Well better lol.Thank you so much dear lady,you have a wonder day.
Hi Angela, what a great tutorial... I have used my sewing machine for stitching paper before but it didn't come out as good as your projects do so now I know how to make it better, thank you so much for the tips and tricks. 💖💖💖
Love how you do your ending videos, showing completed pcs. of your work!!! You lay out things so beautifully, Angela!!!! I started sewing, mmmm, probably, about when I was 7. My mom, bought me a, sml. Childs, hand, crank sewing machine. She showed me how to, make clothes for my, little dolls. She would use, brown paper bag or news paper to draw, the patter on for, the dolls clothes. I would like to still have that little sewing machine..?? Through the yrs. I made my own school clothes. Then design some things later on, through the yrs.. Then yrs. later, I got into quilting & made a # of them. But now, I haven't sewn in yrs. I've wanted to revisit sewing & enjoyed this video. I like seeing, sewing on paper!! But I enjoy doing, card making. Had a dry spell w/that, but there's a group of us card makers, that, just started to get back together (because of what has been going on, around us all, in past few yrs.). Your an inspiration, Angela!!! Do take care. Fl.
Dear Jean, thank you so much for sharing a little bit about yourself. I love to hear about my viewers lives. It makes me feel like I am not just talking to myself all the time 😂 What wonderful memories with your mum and the start of your sewing journey. So special. So grateful for your kind words and your encouragement. Wow, so pleased you like what you see and wonderful feedback too. May you continue to sew and enjoy crafting. I know it brings me so much joy! Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷🦋🧵✂️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I really like how you just go over the end stitches without back stitching, it looks so much neater. Thank you for sharing.
This is very helpful! I just started journaling and had never considered seeing paper! I think it’s a brilliant idea! Thank you so much! Being creative is so much fun! ❤
Angela like you I’ve been sewing since I was 5 years old and I thought I knew it all but you’ve proved me wrong! My eyes aren’t as good at focusing any more so my lines are wavy but using your tip for laying a tape guide on your machine is great.i substituted black electrical tape for the washi so I could see it easier and I’ve got a much neater line. Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video Angela. Much love and hugs 😎🌺🌸🤗😘💖😅
Jean, I was brought up seeing my mom behind the sewing machine cos that's how she kept food on the table. So the result was to buy my twin and I each a Singer machine to keep us busy and out of mischief. I can't remember how old I was when I started sewing but it was at a young age, just like yourself. I also thought I knew everything about sewing on paper but nope, I learnt a trick or two watching Angela's video. It's cool to have friends who share their knowledge with one eh. Happy sewing my dear friend 🌸❤️🌸
Dear Jean, I am so pleased that this tip has proven to be so helpful. Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback. I think the black tape is an excellent idea! So pleased it has worked for you, my dear friend. Hugs and smiles 🌷☺️🌸💗🦋
That is a wonderful memory, my friend. Being able to sew is an amazing hobby and a great income stream too. My first machine was a singer too. Hugs and smiles 🌸💗☺️🌷🦋
Thank so much Angela. I too have sewn for 55 years but I love learning more about new machines and ways of sewing. My eyes are not as sharp but the tape trick works well. Love that thread color.❤
Dear Angela Thank you very much for sharing a detailed tutorial/tips of owning a sewing machine, the care/cleaning and how to use a sewing machine in an actual paper project! It was a ‘refresher course’ which I found very interesting. I have a similar sewing machine and appreciate your time to explain in full detail. Thank you very much!! I thoroughly enjoyed this this tutorial💝- - - - -🙂
Thank you so much Ann dear. I am so pleased you have enjoyed this one. I thought I would help those wonderful people who struggle , as I do get so many questions about sewing, so I do hope I could them all. You are such a sweetheart for saying so. Hugs and smiles ☺️✂️🧵🌷💗🌸🎀
I love your tutorials. You make it all seem so easy. The flow is outstanding. You could teach us how to fix a computer or a car and we would be geniuses after the tutorial. 😉It’s truly more how you teach then what you teach and you do it do flawlessly. Love the extra tutorials you add for us.
Wow, what a fantastic compliment, Brenda! You really made my day. Thank you ever so much for your encouraging words and kindness. Truly am so grateful. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️🌷💗✂️🧵🎀
So pleased you have enjoyed the tutorial, Helle! Thank you so much for being so supportive and encouraging. I am so grateful for that. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️✂️🧵💗🌷
Great tutorial Angela. I've sewn most of my life, plus I was a curtain seamstress. Now I'm very lazy in using my machine. I really need to organise myself and prepare all my tags in one go, as once I start crafting I'm too lazy to get up and sew a couple of tags...lol. I'm having a fantastic day binge watching your tutorials. Hugs and smiles from across the miles. 😊🌸🌾🎀💚
What a wonderful sewing career. I bet you were very busy. I do cut, back and see my ephemera at the start of my project and keep it in my ephemera container. It saves me time for preparing videos. I am so pleased you have enjoyed watching all these videos!! Wow, that’s amazing! Thank you so much for your fabulous support. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌷🌸💗🦋
Great job, Angela! I've been sewing since I was a kid, & I've been a quilter since 1980. Your tips will help many people learn more about their machines. I could not live without my sewing machine! I love all your tutorials ... you are my YT guru! Hugs from Ireland.
Wow, that’s amazing Pamela!! Such a long time. It is a wonderful hobby, I wish I had more time to quilt myself. It is something I have always wanted to try. Thank you so much for your encouraging compliments!! Wow!! Such a fabulous honour indeed! I hope I can live up to that for you. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🌷🧵✂️💗🦋🎀
Angela, I've now actually chatted with Jean about your video... Lol. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You're too kind you know! I've picked up a tip or two even though I've been sewing from a very young age. With a smile on my dial I'm going to my machine now. Luvya babe xxx
Aww, jy is te duurbaar, maaitjie. So pleased you watched it and found a tip of two to try! Thank you so much for your amazing support and kindness. Hugs and smiles 🌸💗🌷🧵✂️☺️🦋
Angela, my dear. Thank you for the tech tutorial on machine maintenance and care. You are always so together. Are you that way in day-to-day tasks? I always enjoy your installments.
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments l, Mary! I think it’s just how my mind works. I am quite a methodical thinker. ☺️ I did spend quite a few years working in a Quality Assurance roll, which might have had an influence on my proactive approach to tasks. These things leave there mark sometimes. Hugs and smiles ☺️💗🌷🌷🌸🧵🦋
So pleased you found this video helpful, Daisy! Thank you so much for your fantastic support and kindness! Really appreciate it. Hugs and smiles 🌸🧵✂️🎀💗☺️🌷
Thank you for taking the time to give us a sewing tutorial...loved hearing all your tips and advice for achieving success on our projects...much appreciated!! Sewing adds a lovely vintage element that is such a nice detail. I've sewn my share of clothing and projects, but sewing on paper is a different story. Again, thank you!
It’s only a pleasure, Martie! Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback and wonderful compliments. So pleased you have enjoyed these tips. Hugs and smiles, ☺️🌸🌷💗🧵✂️🎀
You make this look so easy.. thank you for sharing your talent with us. I have never been good with sewing much to my Mothers dismay. She was excellent seamstress and quilt maker. I inherited her very fancy machine and have been trying to teach myself the art of sewing. It has not gone well to date, but your video has helped a lot. Hugs and Smiles!
Dear Beth, such a wonderful message. I do so hood that you are able to make some inroads with your mum’s machine. I will say practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to start, lovely lady. You can do this. Hugs and smiles 🌸✂️🧵🌷☺️💗
Hello, Angela! I just received a simple sewing machine today, it’s very basic with 12 stitches, looks quite similar to yours. This video is pure gold for us beginners who are wanting to learn how to sew in our journals. I learned basic sewing in Home Economics in high school, which was many years ago, so I truly needed a refresher. You are a fabulous teacher! I will be watching this one again and again, for sure.😃 Thanks so much!
Thank you Angela. I was always nervous about using my sewing machine for paper as I love the effect, I now feel more confident about doing this now after watching your demo.
Amazingly helpful, I've always admired the neatness of your finished product. My finish is a lot better , with practice i might have as good of a result as you . Thank you for your generosity.
Aww, thank you so much for your wonderful compliments, Vanessa! I am sure you are very good at sewing. We can be very hard on ourselves sometimes. But you are right. Practice makes perfect! You are so welcome!! Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸💗🌷🦋
Thank you for this tutorial, I bought a machine from Hobby Craft here in the UK last Xmas, hardly used it. I’m not a machinist don’t no much about them so I thought I would give it a try. The machine I bought was only £50 for a beginner haven’t had much success so I gave up. After watching you I’ll take the bull by the horns and try again. So again thank you. 👍❤
Thank you for this! I do need to clean my machine...have not done it in ages! Thank you for all of the tips and tricks. My grandmother was very good at sewing and used to make me dresses. I love to sew on paper! It's one of my favorite things...I often wonder what she would think of that? Hope you have a lovely day
You’re most welcome, Joanne! I also have fond memories of my grandmother knitting and sewing and crocheting. Miss her so much. I wonder what they would think about us sewing on paper. 🧵💗✂️🌸☺️🌷😘
Thank you so much for making this very useful video. I now know how to get neat stitches 😮 ... Whether I can actually do this myself is another story 😂
Such an informative video, Angela and very much needed. I have a new machine that I bought because I wanted to start sewing my journal pages. I just love that look! I've been having a difficult time with the tension of my bobbin. It gets tangled so trying to adjust it tends to be frustrating until I get it just right. Great tips and so useful! Thank you for sharing! 💗😊
I am so happy to hear that you have a new sewing machine and are keen to get started with sewing for your journals. I hope these tips work for you, Nancy. Try different tension settings using your top tension. When changing the setting, check that the pressure foot is up as it use already engaged when lowered. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸💗🌷🦋
Hi Angela!! This is a fantastic video as I have not touched a sewing machine since I was in school....since 1974....grade 10!! I don't even remember what the sewing machines looked back then!! LOL I am thinking of buying a simple one like yours next year perhaps!! Thanks again!! Take Care and TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
You are most welcome, Sara!! So pleased you have enjoyed this video and found it useful!! Yay! I hope you feel so much more equipped to sew now. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🧵✂️🌷💗
Thank you for sharing your sewing skills. Very informative. Whenever I receive one of your printed kits, I’m always amazed at how perfect your stitches are on the personal tag you include with them.
Angela, Thank you so much for these tips and tricks. It was very informative and wonderful to see how you make such beautiful crafts!! My sewing skills will improve greatly!! ❤❤🧵
Thank you for the informative video. I love sewing and have had my Bernina for 50 years! I mainly just use it for crafting now but used to sew all our clothes! You are such a great instructor! Hugs
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments, Linda. Bernina’s are awesome machines. I used to have one years ago. sewing is another wonderful pastime. I also mostly sew only for crafting now. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷🦋
Ty so much for sharing these different tips with us Angela. I will have to look for 70/10 needles to use for paper. Love the gold thread. Have a great weekend. Looking forward to Tuesday now. Lol xxx
I just got my first machine for paper sewing and this is the best video I've seen! I am having problems with an embossed cardstock I'm trying to sew, the thread is pulling out of the needle and I'm stitching without thread and the cardstock is tearing. Do you always have to hold the 2 threads when you first start sewing? I see some people holding them and others not at all so I don't know what I'm doing wrong? If you could give me some advice it would be great!! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Angela! I've had a love/hate relationship with my sewing machine, as it frequently makes a rats nest of thread on the back side of what I've been stitching. Now I realize that my tension setting was way too high, and possibly my needle size is incorrect as well. 😱 Time to get out the old dear and see if we can make adjustments that will allow us to become crafting buddies going forward. I do like the finished look of stitching on tags & journal cards, so its certainly worth the effort! Best, as always! 💐
Dear Cyndi Sue, I am so pleased you feel encouraged to have another go at sewing for your journal. I am sure you can rekindle the relationship with your sewing machine. Thank you so much for your encouragement and kindness. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🌷💗🦋
Thank you Angela, ye very helpful. When sewing say a ruffle to he edge f a signature page, doty sew the material directly to the paper or is that to much fo the needle? And what about card stock o material?
Of course I can, Norma. Did you know that they are in the Wildflower Playlist? Each one in the order I made them. Here is the link for you. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷🦋 ruclips.net/p/PLcieoffxG12Sr3D2HQr_EqJrtgXNQH5LL
Thank you ever so much Elizabeth. I have only just seen that you have spoilt me again with a fabulous Super Thanks! WOW, you are just so kind and generous, my friend. I am so grateful for your wonderful support and kindness. Big hug and love xxxx
@@AngelaKerrDesigns and I am so grateful for the beautiful, sweet and loving person you are. You are sunshine for me as I am disabled with Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I was medically retired from work nearly 6 years ago. My eyes have diminished since and I can’t read now, or a lot of things I was once able to do. I eagerly look for your videos thrice weekly and a couple other ladies whom I follow. Love from me to you, stay safe and take care❤️❤️❤️
@@ElizabethPollardAus dear Elizabeth, I am so sorry to hear of your health challenges. I cannot even begin to imagine what that means for you on a day to day basis, except to say that it must be very painful and frustrating. Thank you so much for your kindness. Your amazing encouragement and support really means so much to me too. Sending your hugs and much love, Angela 🌸🌷☺️💗🦋
Do you know, if you hold the little slot open, when you put the little spool in the machine after threading it, it holds the thread inside the spool so it will not fall out, but then you have the little slot as a handle,it makes it easyer when you put the spool with the tread back inside the maschine. 😃🙃🤲🏼💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Great tips. I seem to have a lot of problems with my threads bunching up on the back side. Or a lot of thread breakage. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Debbie, it sounds like a tension problem. . Try turning your top tension dial to a lower number to reduce the tension. Check you have threaded your machine properly. Do this with the presser foot up. Tension is engaged when pressure foot is down. Hugs and smiles 🌷☺️💗🌸🦋
I bought this miscellaneous package from Amazon but I’m clueless as to what needle I should be using, I don’t see those numbers. This is what is listed as the sizes HAX1 65/9, 75/11, 90/14, 100/16, 110/18 (50 PCS maybe you could help me figure it out. I don’t know if it matters but I’m in the United States, I sure do appreciate any kind of help you can give
Haley, I can help you here. The smaller the number, the smaller the needle. So 65/9 is the thinnest needle and 110/18 is the thickest in this pack. The one I would choose here is the 75/11. Every country has different options. Give it a go. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸💗🌷
@@AngelaKerrDesigns thank you so very much for helping me out with that, I’ve been wanting to try out sewing with paper for so long. I hear it’s much easier than sewing with fabric so maybe I’ll be a bit more successful with straight lines 😬 Thank you again for your help pretty lady ❤️🙏
Hello Angela, have you taken some time off for yourself yet? I hope you do something for you. Life's too short nowadays. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Thank you so much for thinking of me, dear Becky. I have had a day off this week and a day off last week, so I am making progress. Hope you are doing well, dear friend. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🌷💗🦋
I’ve got the same sewing machine as you Angela and yes it’s a lovely one to use . Thanks for some off your tips especially the one using washi tape to keep you straight. Will do that next time and if it’s successful I will give you a shout in the group or Instagram TFS xxxx ps 2 hours later just noticed I’ve got the Singer Serenade model , proves how much notice I take 🫣x
Pat, you are sweetheart and I did giggle about the last comment. The singers look a lot alike, so I don’t blame you. So pleased you have found this video useful!! Big hug and smiles, lovely 🌸☺️🧵✂️💗🌷🦋
@@AngelaKerrDesigns we have just spent a lovely couple of hours down by the harbour it’s was so lovely and cool. Of course the restaurant/pub called us in so yes no cooking for me today . Now I’m off to do some crafting . Enjoy the rest of your day 🧵🪡🐶🥰
Thank you, just what I needed. I can't make friends with my sewing machine and end up with what I call 'rustic' stitches lol.
I hope this helps you mend the friendship, Miss Michelle.
So pleased you found it helpful. Hugs and smiles 🌸🌷☺️💗🦋

I am so pleased for you! Perfect timing as you say. You are going to be so happy with all your new uses for it. Hugs and smiles 🌸🌷☺️💗🦋
@@AngelaKerrDesigns thank you. Angela 💗
Excellent instructions!!☺️
Thank you for taking the time to give us a sewing tutorial...loved hearing all your tips and advice for achieving success on our projects...much appreciated!! Sewing adds a lovely vintage element that is such a nice detail. I've sewn my share of clothing and projects, but sewing on paper is a different story. Again, thank you!
It’s only a pleasure, Martie! Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback and wonderful compliments. So pleased you have enjoyed these tips.
Hugs and smiles, ☺️🌸🌷💗🧵✂️🎀
Fantastic
Thank you so much for this video. I didn't realised I needed it 😀
Thank you so much Phyllis! So pleased you found it helpful! 🌸💗☺️🌷🦋
You make this look so easy.. thank you for sharing your talent with us. I have never been good with sewing much to my Mothers dismay. She was excellent seamstress and quilt maker. I inherited her very fancy machine and have been trying to teach myself the art of sewing. It has not gone well to date, but your video has helped a lot. Hugs and Smiles!
Dear Beth, such a wonderful message. I do so hood that you are able to make some inroads with your mum’s machine. I will say practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to start, lovely lady.
You can do this. Hugs and smiles 🌸✂️🧵🌷☺️💗
Angela, this video is so very helpful to me. If you make more sewing videos, I'd love to see them. Thanks a bunch!! Lorie D.
You’re most welcome, Lorie! So pleased you have found it useful. Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback! Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷🦋
Hello, Angela! I just received a simple sewing machine today, it’s very basic with 12 stitches, looks quite similar to yours. This video is pure gold for us beginners who are wanting to learn how to sew in our journals. I learned basic sewing in Home Economics in high school, which was many years ago, so I truly needed a refresher. You are a fabulous teacher! I will be watching this one again and again, for sure.😃 Thanks so much!
Great tutorial! Perfect stitching.
Thank you so much Kathy! So pleased you’ve enjoyed this video. 🌸🌷☺️💗🦋🎀
Great tutorial for beginners Angela!
Thank you so much Nancy!! I am so pleased you watched. I hope it helps those less confident to give it a try. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️🧵✂️💗🌷🦋
Thank you Angela. I was always nervous about using my sewing machine for paper as I love the effect, I now feel more confident about doing this now after watching your demo.
I am delighted to hear that you feel so much more confident, Mitzi! Onwards and upwards now. You are going to love the results. 🌸💗🌷☺️🧵✂️
Amazingly helpful, I've always admired the neatness of your finished product. My finish is a lot better , with practice i might have as good of a result as you . Thank you for your generosity.
Aww, thank you so much for your wonderful compliments, Vanessa! I am sure you are very good at sewing. We can be very hard on ourselves sometimes. But you are right. Practice makes perfect!
You are so welcome!! Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸💗🌷🦋

Thank you for this tutorial, I bought a machine from Hobby Craft here in the UK last Xmas, hardly used it. I’m not a machinist don’t no much about them so I thought I would give it a try. The machine I bought was only £50 for a beginner haven’t had much success so I gave up. After watching you I’ll take the bull by the horns and try again. So again thank you. 👍❤
That’s so great to hear, Janette! So pleased you feel inspired to try again. Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷
Very good information! Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your kind words. 🤗🌸🌷
What an awesome tutorial ... thank you so much! I do love sewing on paper!
Thank you so much Ardella! So pleased you enjoyed it. 🌷☺️🌸💗🦋
Thank you for this video! I have wanted to see this from you for a long time. A very helpful video reference, Thank you!!
Only a pleasure, Lisa! So pleased you have enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Hugs and smiles 🌸💗🌷☺️🦋
Thank you for this! I do need to clean my machine...have not done it in ages! Thank you for all of the tips and tricks. My grandmother was very good at sewing and used to make me dresses. I love to sew on paper! It's one of my favorite things...I often wonder what she would think of that? Hope you have a lovely day
You’re most welcome, Joanne! I also have fond memories of my grandmother knitting and sewing and crocheting. Miss her so much.
I wonder what they would think about us sewing on paper. 🧵💗✂️🌸☺️🌷😘
Thank you so much for making this very useful video. I now know how to get neat stitches 😮 ... Whether I can actually do this myself is another story 😂
You can do it! Deep breath and try it. It’s just paper, so practice in a scrap piece first. 🤗🌸🌷
Such an informative video, Angela and very much needed. I have a new machine that I bought because I wanted to start sewing my journal pages. I just love that look! I've been having a difficult time with the tension of my bobbin. It gets tangled so trying to adjust it tends to be frustrating until I get it just right. Great tips and so useful! Thank you for sharing! 💗😊
I am so happy to hear that you have a new sewing machine and are keen to get started with sewing for your journals.
I hope these tips work for you, Nancy.
Try different tension settings using your top tension. When changing the setting, check that the pressure foot is up as it use already engaged when lowered. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸💗🌷🦋
Really helpful information, thanks.
You’re most welcome, Den. Thank you so much for watching. ☺️🌸💗🌷🦋

You have a great name. Thank you for the video
Hi Angela!! This is a fantastic video as I have not touched a sewing machine since I was in school....since 1974....grade 10!! I don't even remember what the sewing machines looked back then!! LOL I am thinking of buying a simple one like yours next year perhaps!! Thanks again!! Take Care and TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
What a lovely message Liz. You had me smiling reading it. May you feel inspired to try it with your new machine. Hugs and smiles 🌷☺️💗🌸🦋
Thank you for that Angela…..has been a huge help as I’ve only just started sewing and some pieces were very ordinary 😂
You are most welcome, Sara!! So pleased you have enjoyed this video and found it useful!! Yay! I hope you feel so much more equipped to sew now. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🧵✂️🌷💗
Thank you for sharing your sewing skills. Very informative. Whenever I receive one of your printed kits, I’m always amazed at how perfect your stitches are on the personal tag you include with them.

Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments, Linda. Bernina’s are awesome machines. I used to have one years ago. sewing is another wonderful pastime. I also mostly sew only for crafting now. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷🦋

I just got my first machine for paper sewing and this is the best video I've seen! I am having problems with an embossed cardstock I'm trying to sew, the thread is pulling out of the needle and I'm stitching without thread and the cardstock is tearing. Do you always have to hold the 2 threads when you first start sewing? I see some people holding them and others not at all so I don't know what I'm doing wrong? If you could give me some advice it would be great!! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Angela! I've had a love/hate relationship with my sewing machine, as it frequently makes a rats nest of thread on the back side of what I've been stitching. Now I realize that my tension setting was way too high, and possibly my needle size is incorrect as well. 😱 Time to get out the old dear and see if we can make adjustments that will allow us to become crafting buddies going forward. I do like the finished look of stitching on tags & journal cards, so its certainly worth the effort!
Best, as always! 💐
Dear Cyndi Sue, I am so pleased you feel encouraged to have another go at sewing for your journal. I am sure you can rekindle the relationship with your sewing machine. Thank you so much for your encouragement and kindness. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🌷💗🦋
thank you
You're welcome Shirley. So pleased you found this helpful. Hugs and smiles xxx
Thank you Angela, ye very helpful. When sewing say a ruffle to he edge f a signature page, doty sew the material directly to the paper or is that to much fo the needle? And what about card stock o material?
Thank you for the tops Angela. Can you please send me in order your videos on the wildflower journal?
Of course I can, Norma. Did you know that they are in the Wildflower Playlist? Each one in the order I made them. Here is the link for you. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷🦋

Thank you ever so much Elizabeth. I have only just seen that you have spoilt me again with a fabulous Super Thanks! WOW, you are just so kind and generous, my friend. I am so grateful for your wonderful support and kindness. Big hug and love xxxx
@@AngelaKerrDesigns and I am so grateful for the beautiful, sweet and loving person you are. You are sunshine for me as I am disabled with Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I was medically retired from work nearly 6 years ago. My eyes have diminished since and I can’t read now, or a lot of things I was once able to do. I eagerly look for your videos thrice weekly and a couple other ladies whom I follow.
Love from me to you, stay safe and take care❤️❤️❤️
@@ElizabethPollardAus dear Elizabeth, I am so sorry to hear of your health challenges. I cannot even begin to imagine what that means for you on a day to day basis, except to say that it must be very painful and frustrating.
Thank you so much for your kindness. Your amazing encouragement and support really means so much to me too. Sending your hugs and much love, Angela 🌸🌷☺️💗🦋
Do you know, if you hold the little slot open, when you put the little spool in the machine after threading it, it holds the thread inside the spool so it will not fall out, but then you have the little slot as a handle,it makes it easyer when you put the spool with the tread back inside the maschine. 😃🙃🤲🏼💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Yes, that is true, Linda! Great suggestion, Lovely. Thank you so much for reminding me. Hugs and smiles 🌸🌷☺️💗🦋
@@AngelaKerrDesigns 😉😘
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩. I already broke 4 needles 😞
You’re welcome! I hope this helps you going forward. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🌷
Great tips. I seem to have a lot of problems with my threads bunching up on the back side. Or a lot of thread breakage. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Debbie, it sounds like a tension problem. . Try turning your top tension dial to a lower number to reduce the tension. Check you have threaded your machine properly. Do this with the presser foot up. Tension is engaged when pressure foot is down. Hugs and smiles 🌷☺️💗🌸🦋
@@AngelaKerrDesigns
Thanks. I did not know about the tension engaging when the pressure foot is down.
@@debbiewalker4704 I am so pleased I could help. I hope it helps. 🌸☺️💗
I get this every time I have to fill the bobbin. It's so frustrating. On fabric I can undo it but not on paper
@@phyllisj73 I hope this offers you a solution Phyllis dear. 🌸💗☺️
😍😍😍😍😍😍
☺️💗🌷🌸🦋
I bought this miscellaneous package from Amazon but I’m clueless as to what needle I should be using, I don’t see those numbers. This is what is listed as the sizes HAX1 65/9, 75/11, 90/14, 100/16, 110/18 (50 PCS maybe you could help me figure it out. I don’t know if it matters but I’m in the United States, I sure do appreciate any kind of help you can give
Haley, I can help you here. The smaller the number, the smaller the needle. So 65/9 is the thinnest needle and 110/18 is the thickest in this pack. The one I would choose here is the 75/11. Every country has different options.
Give it a go.
Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸💗🌷
@@AngelaKerrDesigns thank you so very much for helping me out with that, I’ve been wanting to try out sewing with paper for so long. I hear it’s much easier than sewing with fabric so maybe I’ll be a bit more successful with straight lines 😬
Thank you again for your help pretty lady ❤️🙏
Hello Angela, have you taken some time off for yourself yet? I hope you do something for you. Life's too short nowadays. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Thank you so much for thinking of me, dear Becky. I have had a day off this week and a day off last week, so I am making progress. Hope you are doing well, dear friend.

I’ve got the same sewing machine as you Angela and yes it’s a lovely one to use . Thanks for some off your tips especially the one using washi tape to keep you straight. Will do that next time and if it’s successful I will give you a shout in the group or Instagram TFS xxxx ps 2 hours later just noticed I’ve got the Singer Serenade model , proves how much notice I take 🫣x
Pat, you are sweetheart and I did giggle about the last comment. The singers look a lot alike, so I don’t blame you.
