    So cute!. I saw an earlier face video you did and I made a darling bookmark. I also used your directions from an earlier video for making a notebook cover and I used that to cover a basic black and white composition book. It was so much easier and nicer looking than previous covers I have used. By the way, I slow stitch and made the whole cover by hand. I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Thanks for the inspiration and tutorials.

    You got me back sewing
    I just can’t stop now … I still have to practice free motion sewing but I will get there 😂 I wonder how to recycle all the loose threads I have in a jar … I think I saw you do something with threads a while back but unfortunately I can’t remember what video it was in … do you have any ideas how to do an artsy embellishment with threads !? If you ever feel like showing us how to do so, it would be so helpful Please keep up your amazing videos they are awesome 🥰

I think I would attached using clear thread and a zigzag big enough to span the width of the tape. Hope that makes sense. Have a great day! Julia

      Hi, I don't have problems but I know others do. I usually do simple stitching ( straight stitch or zigzag- no decorative) If the needle gets gummy, it can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol.

    Thanks

    • @stitchesbyjulia
      @stitchesbyjulia  11 месяцев назад

      Hi. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos. When I rip my canvas, I first take my scissors and snip approximately an inch in where I want to rip. I then with my hands , I rip the canvas. It should rip straight if it's woven on grain. It it's too hard to rip, I'll make my snip a bit bigger. Ripping gives the canvas a beautiful fray. I hope this helps. I will try to remember to demonstrate it in a video. Thanks so much for watching, Julia
