Love all your videos - I'm grateful to have garnered countless wonderful tips & tricks from many creative, skilled sewists on RUclips- yours have a particular magnificence to them... It's a rare combination: skill set, communication skills, soothing voice and low-key mannerisms; obviously very keyed in to what the viewer might be wondering at every turn. I watch your videos making and doing things I've been doing and making for years - AND I STILL LEARN from every one! Too bad you don't live next door! (On one side. The other side is forever reserved for Billy Collins...)
I just watched a video on wonder under and she actually put a piece of thread under the wonder under. Once she fused it, she pulled the string up and it created a tiny seam that made it very easy to pull off the wonder under paper. Both your way and her way work. 👍
I will put that on my list. Here is a tutorial showing how to use it on t-shirt fabric. You can also use on small woven fabric. youmakeitsimple.com/2024/05/21/how-to-mend-a-hole-in-a-t-shirt-the-easy-way/
Hi jan. I have made a large reversible queen sized quilt totally hand sewn and hand quilted. On one side I’ve put all my son’s hoodies and on the other side just plain. I’ve pieced together a large serpentine film strip consisting of more than 40 photos that I am putting on as an appliqué. I have put the heat and bond on each photo and I have sewn on one side of each photo. On advice from my local quilting shop I am ironing down and sewing one photo at a time. You can imagine how long it is taking me. Given what you said about it sticking through washes, do you think that I need to do any quilting or a stitch or two through each photo? The photos are about 5.5 x 4.5 and smaller. We are visiting Croatia at the minute where my son is living and I have brought it with me so I can finish it. Thank you.
@@JanHowell Hi Jan. Thanks for your response. We left Croatia last week and I handed the quilt over. I was so scared the photos would separate over time. I have spent 20 months on this hand sewn quilt. I actually fussy chose where I would sew (is there even such a terminology in quilting?) and sewed it through the photo. Like the line separating sand and sea, down a scarf or jumper, the line of a pathway etc. it came out quite nice and is almost invisible.
How do I remove ‘goobers’ from my iron and also from projects? Also, is it possible to completely remove wonder under if I have heat-bonded it to the wrong side of my project? Thanks
I have a tutorial filmed for this very thing, but not edited. I guess I better get on that. You can spread some salt onto a piece of parchment paper and press the hot iron onto it and move it around. Then wipe off with a clean dry coth. You can also rub a dryer sheet around on the hot iron. It may take a few dryer sheets.

Thanks for the kind remarks. :)

Yes, I've seen that idea as well.
I like the appliqué sewing.
Wonderful
That was very helpful. I've used wonder under, but it was years ago. This was a very good refresher!
wonderful, glad it was helpful
so fun! Great tips
Thank you!
I’m interested in some tips on using Wonder-Under to patch a hole in woven fabric. Thanks!

Thank you! Very helpful to know how to use this product and how to secure the edges of things. :)
Glad it was helpful!
I really dislike "yucky goobers" :) I think this is the product I want to use. Thanks for demonstrating it.

Excellent thanks you for your time, Mary from Sligo
You are so welcome
Great video! Do you use/need an embroidery stabilizer behind when satin stitching your appliques on clothing?
No. I use Wonder-Under youmakeitsimple.com/2022/11/21/how-to-make-a-fabric-bag-beginner-sewing-tutorial/
@@JanHowell thanks so much! Wasn't sure if just the wonder-under/fusible web would be enough.

I don't think you need to quilt inside the photos. Sounds like an amazing quilt!!!

Oh no. I need the video about cleaning the gunk off my iron. 😅
Coming soon!
Hello Mama Sofia watching
How do I remove ‘goobers’ from my iron and also from projects?
Also, is it possible to completely remove wonder under if I have heat-bonded it to the wrong side of my project? Thanks

I don't think you're going to be able to remove the already wonder undered project. bummer
I put Parchment over it to
great idea
Did I miss cleaning the iron?
I just put a new video up for that.
You can locate it here. ruclips.net/video/GhOK6adiNak/видео.htmlsi=F-BdM8GzbBmMkzYS
I love learning these tips thanks.
Thank you. You are so welcome
