ReplyDeleteI love sewing on my cards...that was very nice of you sharing....and I love your take on the cards leaving me with some great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat Video (good Camera work, too!) Wonderful tips. I am not so good at straight line top stitching, must practice. I am really looking forward to part 2 and the bubbly bow. :) Hugs...
ReplyDeleteOH....you make this look as easy =) I can't sew a straight line to save my life. Thanks for the tips, I will try them to see if I can do better! Thanks for the great video!!

Great tutorial!!! Now I just need the courage to go get a sewing machine....lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this video!!! I love the look of stitching on cards but so far haven't been brave enough to try it. I have gone so far as to buy a little sewing maching.... but it still sits in the box. Thank you for giving the kick in the butt I need to get it out and set it up!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for a fab tutorial Jeanie ! You are great ! Love the nail varnish by the way !!! Hugs and love from Catherine
ReplyDeleteFabulous tutorial Jeanie! (and hubby too! ) thank you!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Jeanie, thanks very much, can't wait for more tutorials!!! Pami x
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thanks Jeanie
ReplyDeleteGreat video and great camera man, steady hand and had great view. Thanks for the video and tape tips. I will have to try this technique. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! I love the extra pizzazz that sewing gives to handmade cards. I always get stuck when I have to cut the threads, so thanks for that tip! Looking forward to any tutorial you produce...you're a great teacher.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great Tutorial Jeanie. So wouldnt have the guts to try sewing (plus not owning a sewing machine would make it difficult). Still enjoyed watching it though.

I followed someone's link to you (and I have no idea who at this point) and enjoyed your video. I have sewn my own clothes waaay back when and occasionally sew on cards. Got some good tips from you so I'm glad I watched!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I just need to replace my broken mini machine! Look forward to part 2, Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteYou make stitching in straight lines look so so soooo easy! A wonderful tutorial, looking forward to seeing part 2 - thank you

Jeanie, you make it look sooooo easy!!! But trying this out on my own is the stamping equivalent of getting my hair to look like the hair stylist did. . .;) MWAH!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sewing tutorial! I have my sewing machine under my craft table and will hopefully get it out soon. Your video sure eases the idea : )
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial and photography....very clear!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour video is fantastic Jeanie, I can't wait for part 2. I hope to see more videos in the future :o)

Fantastic tutorial Jeanie, I picked up the link from Bugaboo on FB! Your cards are absolutely amazing and so beautifully finished...I'm following you now so that I don't miss part 2 of your tut and to come and see more of your beautiful creations :) Donna x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video. I've been sewing on cards for a while, but still learned something. I'll have to keep an eye out for that thread, and love you advice for rounding the corners. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat video Jeanie, thank you for explaining so well... and DH for great camera work!! Still early days for sewing on my cards, but i'm getting there!! I love the Gutermann threads too, they seem to work so well, I especially love the machine embroidery threads as they have a fab sheen to them Hugs, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating this video. You and your camera man did a fantastic job. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing your sewing secrets! Perfect team work too!

ReplyDeleteOh my HAT!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so happy I asked for this tutorial, even though I had to wait almost a year, lol, rofl! I certainly learnt a lot, you're a genious, thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this tutorial! I'm not a pro now, but at least I have an idea how to proceed for sewing on a card...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tutorial. They are always helpful.

The Lord bless you for sharing your sewing wisdom!! I have been needing help with turning those corners and with how to end the stitching just right...and your video has solved my problems! Thanks Jeanie...you're sew great!
ReplyDeleteAnother great tutorial Jeanie! I sew on pretty much every single card I make, and I still learned a lot! I had NEVER thought of doing the "lift the foot and cheat" thing to make it line up better!! DUH!! Thank you so much for sharing that. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tutorial Jeanie. I like to sew on my cards too, but I always have trouble when it comes to the end, I reverse stitch because I don't want it to unravel, but it never looks neat. Now I know how to do it. Thanks so much for sharing this. Have a lovely day, Babs
ReplyDeleteThank you for the awesome tutorial. Who knew. I am bran new not even off the shelf (so to speak). So all of this stuff is like opening a gift as a child on Christmas morning. So excited where this where take me.
