- In today's project, I am creating an appliqué using scraps of fabric. This is an easy technique and a great way to use up those bits. Enjoy!

Julia empowered me last summer to try free motion. I practiced for 10 minutes a day most days for 6 weeks. For the first 2 weeks of 10 minutes I needed tranquilizers AND wine. Advance 6 weeks and I am the expert lol. I urge you JUST START, laugh at yourself and be open to learning like a child does. Good luck, you can do it. Hugs Kate
Julia, I’ve been rewatching some videos of your videos. Enjoying them a second time. Love your ideas.
You are so kind! Thank you so much for watching and rewatching:)
Love your ideas. I’ve been watching them for years. Love going over and over them.
I am so glad you are enjoying my projects-thanks for watching!
The thing I like about you, Julia, is the way you use "used" materials. Right up my alley. We, as a society, waste waaaaay too much. Thank you for going the extra mile for our beautiful ❤️ planet. Keep on fighting the good fight 💪!!
Love the slit technique! Great video!
You are the queen of free motion quilting. I'm so jealous. Lol
me too.

Tomorrow morning going to head out .
This and painting and glass beads is all I’m going to do .
Oh yes Bible journaling always everyday
Just love your work your so inspirational
@@madhattersoriginal6258 Great idea. In the case of free motion, I might follow your wine lead. I wrote 3" or so sized words in my own handwriting on a quilt long ago without tracing the letters and it came out great. Then I tried smaller free motion meandering on a practice sandwich. Instead of curving squiggles, I got angles. And quit. Would be fun to do squares into a sampler to show progress over 6 weeks.
@@carolg.6838 I art journal so I stuck mine in a daily 'thoughts to me from me" art journal. I got SO stressed in 2 minutes you have no idea.🤣🤣. I bought a pair of gloves from Amazon for about $6 because I found it hard on my wrists and hands. I don't need them now but at first when I was so tense, they gripped the fabric wonderfully. I Would love to hear how you progress 🙂 Hugs Kate.
You have such a wonderful gift of making something beautiful. I love watching you work.
Thank you so much!
Hello from North Wales UK. A great way to use scraps and lovely memories too. I made a square and cut shapes out to use on greeting cards. 40 years ago I worked at Laura Ashley and still have ready cut quilting squares, love using them, happy memories. Talk care Julia
I love everything you do. You inspire me. Thank you from the UK ❤️

Flannel shirt is just the coolest thing. Wish you would show us more about altering clothing.....and what lace is that??? Just gorgeous!! Have a wonderful week ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I love the pillow! Been wanting to do a cute pillow for each Family Member that would speak to each of them. Great technique!
Great idea!!
Thank you so much Julia, I really really love 💕 that heart 💓 and it’s gorgeous and stunning too. What a fantastic idea 💡 too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Love this, I have loads of scraps ( all quilters will get this ) I’m going to have a try, I do find it difficult to do scrappy in my quilts but these look fabulous. Thank you I’ve found my lockdown 3 projects.
Love your process. Thanks.
oh cool, the weaving is like you've done on your sweatshirts! Great idea!
Hi Carrie, You are right! I have done this same technique on shirts. It's such an easy detail to add. Have a great week. Julia
Love this design !!! Thank you so much for sharing this project ! I have it in my to do list ! 😁👏👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thanks Janet for your encouraging words!
Gorgeous pillow! Love it😍 Thank you💕
Hi Julia, What a clever lady, coming up with your iron on appliqué. I thought I'd seen everything until I watched you make that scrappy heart ! I'll need to make a sample, just so I can embed this in my mind. Thanks so much.
Hi Phyllis, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I hope I explained it well enough. It's a bit confusing putting glue on the adhesive side but once you do it, it makes more sense. I hope you are doing well- Fall is in the air.... Julia
Gracias por compartir
Buena idea con las sobras de tela que queda de cada proyecto.
This is a great idea, Julia, thanks for the ideas and inspiration.
ẞo I thought about this glue technique and I am very excited to use this. Seriously, what a great idea and honestly not something I would have thought of. Once again, you have shown something truly unique and fun. I am very motivated to use this on a number of projects. Thank you so much.
Hi, I am so glad you are finding my videos inspiring. Happy creating, Julia
Hi Julia - I hope you are doing well. Love the fabrics and the way you had them slanted. So pretty.
We’ve been having more rain. So ready for some dry days! We are still seeing more new cases every day. Stay safe. Love &Hugs! 💕🤗
Hi Pam, We are starting to have a "Fall" feeling in the air. Summer has flown by, but I am looking forward to having 2020 in the past:) 2021 has to be better! Stay safe and sane. Happy sewing, Julia
stitchesbyjulia Yep we are having Fall feeling too and it’s getting dark a lot earlier. Sure miss those late sunsets. Yes I agree 2021 has to be better! You stay sane too!
Love & Hugs 💕☀️🤗🌻🐝🦜

Hi Julia, So sweet! I slowed way down this summer. Staying home is getting to me and usually I keep myself fairly busy, but I took some time off.
I love everything you come up with. You’re so talented. Hope your enjoying your shop on the weekends.. summer is flying by isn’t it. Take care, Chris-Raleigh NC
Hi Chris, Hang in there! I know how hard it has been. I am really grateful for you my weekend shop. It is a piece of normalcy in this craziness. The only difference is, everyone has masks on and I am only set up outside under my canopy:) Take care of yourself, Julia
Excellent 🎨🕊😊

I Love it 👍👏👏👏👏👏😍🌹🙋🏻♀️
How were you able to use the free motion with that batting underneath? Didn’t it get caught?
Great ideas to keep me busy during this campaign vid 19 pandemic
Hi Marian, Hope you are doing well. Winter came way too soon here in MN. I don't mind the snow but the icy roads are the worst! Stay safe, Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia it might reach 92 degrees today. Still too hot. Almost as bad as being cold. Will you go to AZ again this winter?
Yes. We plan on heading there after Christmas for a couple of months. We enjoyed the desert hiking.
Sewing through the school glue doesn’t gum up or clog the sewing machine and/or its needle? I so want to try this out. Thanks for another great video!
I have never had a problem with gumming. Make sure the glue is dry before you sew. Happy creating! Julia
stitchesbyjulia -thank you so much for replying! Good to know, makes sense. I had assumed you went straight to the machine. I’m so excited because I love the idea of using scraps and making unique fabrics for projects like you are so wonderful at doing.💜
Lovely!!! ❤️💕❤️
Thank you!! 😊
Those fabrics look like early 1990. I think I have some.
Hi Marian, I think you are right. It was a fun surprise to receive. I love pinks, cream, and olive green as a color combination. Hope all is well- Julia
I really love your creativity.... I always love to see your videos.i wanted to share an idea. I have experimented with free motion zigzag. It's a whole new world. I love it. I would love to see what you come up with!!!!!!
Hi Debi, I am so going to try this!! Thanks for the tip. This would be a great project to try it on. Thanks so much for watching. Julia
Loved it without the denim heart.
I agree. Hope you were still inspired to create! Julia
stitchesbyjulia oh definitely. I love your work
Julia❤️
Lovely! Did you not have any problems with the glue gumming up your needle?
No problems at all! But make sure the glue is completely dry before sewing. Thanks for watching. Julia
That is so creative! I really liked the weaving I need to try that!
Gday from Australia, omg Julia your amazing, just a quick question, could I use an open toed embroidery foot, I have a free motion foot, but just can’t to seem to put it on my machine, spent all morning trying, thank you for being so awesome xxx
Hi Tracey, Yes the open toed embroidery foot works the same. You may have gotten the wrong foot for you machine. Machines either have a short or high shank. Hope this helps, have fun with it! Julia
stitchesbyjulia thank you Julia, can’t wait to give it a go, stay safe and awesome xxx
Why don’t you just spray it with 505 instead of messing with school glue?
Agreed! I have used the basting spray on my appliqués and it works great. I am all out in my little studio and used an alternative. Thanks for watching, Julia
Nice idea. But the blue heart does not belong to it.
I'm subscribed to your videos, but I didn't receive notification of this today. I wonder why.
Hi Annie, Did you ring the bell next to the Subscribe button? Once you do, it will ask which notifications you want. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia I didn't know what the bell was about! Ha, ha. Thanks!
