She's an easy diva to work with 😂
Wowsers, you are amazing! Thank you very much for showing your technique of making trivets. I will keep watching you! Thank you, Thank you❣️
Thank you so much!
I have a hard time finishing the rope trivets, this is very helpful. Lots of good tips, thanks!
Terrific - glad it helped!
❤ thank you for the wonderful explanation, dear lady ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my … I was waiting for the blooper and you kept it in there … thank you for making me laugh …
I went to look for other sewing tricks you have to offer but I could not find❣️. Please tell me you will do more?
Lots more on the way, thanks @agnescarr9226!
That's where I'm going wrong! I don't have a dog to pat! Now I FINALLY have the perfect excuse to use to tell my husband why we MUST get a dog. 😊🐶
Haha - I love it 😂.
Oh yes! A pup is a requirement. Lowers blood pressure too.
Where did you buy your machine light please
Here is a link to the light we love - it is on Amazon: dub.sh/d2AbYtw
Question .. for the large trivet, your pieces are cut in 1” strips. But how long are each and how many strips are needed for a large trivet?
Hi - I am the oldest sibling! The strips are the "width of fabric" so when we buy a yard of fabric, we cut 1" strips across (cut off selvages first). So approximately 44" long (depending on how wide the fabric is). We put 42 strips in our 12x20 trivet kits which is more than enough. You can easily wrap about 27" of rope with a 44" strip. The 12x20 trivet takes about 80 feet of rope = 960" divided by 27" = 36 strips. Whew. Who knew sewing involved SO much math!
@@KaLinnDishion thank you so much … awesome .. I love your mom’s energy .. and I learned a few tricks from her … like using the Elmers glue stick, how she wraps the fabric .. and folding the long strips with wonder clips for weight … wowzer .. these were game changers in making my bowls …
We are always learning too! So appreciate your feedback as we are terribly new at this video world. As you can tell from our bloopers. 😂
This is great help.
The 1" strips are cut the width of fabric. So if we buy 1/4 yard we can cut 9 strips that are 1" wide and as long as the fabric was wide, usually 36" or 45". We include 40 strips in our 12"x20" kit (approx. 43" long after cutting off the selvage edges) which is WAY more than needed for this size of trivet.
Does the glue get the stripe hard?
No, The glue does not make it noticeable hard or difficult to stitch. When completed, you would never know where there was glue placed.
This glue stays fairly soft and we generally sew shortly after gluing. You don't have to wait for the glue to dry, just don't tug real hard as you are wrapping at the fabric join and secure with a clip as you wrap the joined seam.
I was just doing some and when I went to stitch the needle did not go in. I was using the same glue that your mom was using. If it gets hard should I change the glue or do something else with it?
And where do you purchase your rope. What size do you buy.
@@annettebrandt9603 I know that she doesn't glue too far ahead - just what she will be sewing that day or the glue can get hard. Also, don't use too much glue. Just enough that you can see the purple and it is tacky. You won't tug real hard and secure with a clip as soon as you are past the glued pieces. Then sew within the hour or so otherwise it can get hard. If it does get hard (overnight) you ca sometimes roll that section between your fingers and sort of loosen it up enough to sew right through it. And finally, if you have a "burr" on your needle, it won't like going through the fabric, rope and glue. Easiest way to tell (and it seems weird but mom said it is the best way) take the needle out of the machine and lightly draw it across your lip 💋 I know, weird! But your lips will feel a burr long before your finger will. It doesn't take much to create a reluctant needle. Hope that helps. Just don't let the glue dry completely before you sew.
Dear lady, I hope your head is ok?….so sorry 😢
She's taken much harder hits 🤣 not from us, of course!!!
