Loved this tutorial! I would love to see more of these types of tutorials. 👍🏻
I wanted something different and I think this is the best tutorial I have come across!
Kate, just found your video. Thank you ❤ Florida 🌞🌴🌺
Girl! You’re amazing! I saw your tik tok that referenced this video and so I had to check it out. I had no clue my machine could do this. I’m so excited to try it out!! Thank you so much!
Awh this is so sweet of you to say! It’s such a handy skill and so good for making little gifts - I hope to upload a video soon explaining how to do this onto garments 🥰
what a great video, thoroughly enjoyed the process - I may have a go
I cannot wait to try this!
Awhhh I’m so glad!! Please do 😍

Awhhh thank you so so much !
Hello...I am new to sewing and I am excited to learn from you.
Awh that’s wonderful to hear thank you so much!!
You look great 👍 love the work too
Awh thank you very much!!
Love this!! So true what you’ve said that we’re not machines so it’s never going to be perfect, I think I got really disheartened the first time I tried freehand as i was expecting it to look like an embroidery machine!! Looks amazing xx
Awh wow I have just seen this! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥺 it is SO true and we need to be easy on ourselves in this heavily digital world and appreciate craftsmanship 💚
Lovely video :) Have you considered using Water Soluble Stabilizer 'paper' to transfer your design instead of tracing paper? Because it washes out afterwards, it might save you some time getting rid of the tracing paper after.
Thank you for this tutorial! Curious about thread tension…Do you adjust that on your machine before beginning?
I enjoyed your tutorial greatly! Although it’s been a year since you’ve put up any new videos hopefully more will be coming or you can point me to the direction of where you possibly have them somewhere else like your website… Very well done. Thank you.
thank you for sharing.
I believe you can trace many other ways more easy.
*you print out picture and trace
*Get a digital pen (like vacom) and trace it. then print on directly on the paper
love
Love you xxz
What’s the thickets size thread we can use? I want my lines thick
I’m very keen to try this! Appreciate the tutorial.
Stupid question - but how did you put the back of the cushion fabric under the machine to not stitch it together ? (If that makes sense)
Was the right side of the cushion cover the opening ?
Awh thanks so much!
So the cushion cover had quite a big zip on so I could fit either side through my machine so it didn’t sew together if that makes sense! But sometimes I just take the cushion cover apart and sew it back together once the embroidery is done 🥰 makes it a little easier but a tad more time consuming 💚
Do you use any extra fabric or something on the back side sometimes to strengthen the area where the embroidery is? I don’t know if I explained this very well😄 amazing tutorial btw! ✨
I understand what you mean! As the material of the cushion cover had no stretch I didn’t need to put backing / stabiliser on this. If you were using a fabric with stretch (I.e T-shirt material) then you would need to use stabiliser on the back side yes! 😊 I’m glad you liked the video 😍
@@katescustoms9908 thank you so much for your answer! 🥰 Can I ask what you use for backing/stabiliser?
hello very beautiful videos please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how its used to sew please OK?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much
Okay sure! I will absolutely try and film this for you 🙏
That is a rather strange question, it's sort of the basic of basics in machine sewing. Because it's so strange a question, I remember I have read it before in another sewing video. Are you by any chance a person with a foot fetish?
Not masking tape, painters tape. Masking is brutally sticky and makes a mess. If that’s all you have slap a piece down on your pants leg (or any fabric) and that’ll occupy about half the adhesive with lint once you pull it off. Don’t want sticky goo on your laptop.
Yes, there’s a difference between masking and painters tapes. She has painters in this video.
