HOLY CRAP!! I have NEVER seen anyone who looks as much like Amy Admas (Enchanted, The Arrival) as you do in my ENTIRE LIFE!!! LOL Im sure ypu literally hear this multiple times a day. Great tutorial though, if helped me bunches!!! Thanks so much Giselle..Umm i mean Christine. lol😉🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have heard that once or twice! I worked at Walmart once upon a time (not too long after Enchanted was released, actually), and as I was in the check stand working a woman YELLED across the lobby, "Hi, AMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ADAMSSSSS!!!!!" I think I looked tomato red for at least an hour after that. LOL!!!
I made myself a grime guard using your method of making one. It was so easy to make. Definitely will be making more. Thank you!!
Oh, yay!! Thank you for sharing this with me!
I use a hot ruler to iron my pressing lines. They are short but they are really easy to use.
Thank you so much for your video. My sister added a grime guard to her Christmas wish list 2 weeks before our family Christmas.
So. … thank you so much for your video. God bless you.
I was at a Christmas party over a week ago and a woman received one of those as a gift! I hadn't seen it prior, but I added it to my list of notions I want to buy! It would be perfect for ironing this hem so easily!!
Another excellent tutorial!! I get so excited when you post a video because I know it will be great!! You are such a good teacher Christine! Thanks for sharing your talent with everyone.
Hahahaha! Sometimes these videos are just a mess, but ya'll are so forgiving I don't worry as much about those anymore. LOL!! 💖💖💖
Talented lady, well done!
That was an excellent tutorial! I just love how professional all your sewing looks. Thanks Christine!
Thank you so much, Frankie!!
Thank you Christine!!! 💚
This is such a helpful tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to share your skills and knowledge. You’ve given me the confidence to try and I’ve made my first grime guard and I’m working on two more! Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow!
I'm so glad it was helpful to you! Enjoy your grime guards!!
What a fantastic video. Thank you for taking the time to record it. I only started sewing last weekend and I found your video really clear and, following your instructions, I can't wait to have a go at making my own this weekend
I am so excited for you to sew up your own grime guards! I hope you have a blast!
Hi Christine! You're such a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much love -Gen
Thank you so much, Gen!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
💖Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much for sharing this tut...very helpful! You are a great teacher!
Thank you!!
You are a wonderful teacher!
Thank you, Mari!
Hi Christine, I must tell you out of all the other video's I watched yours is the easiest and the best one I have seen I was so stuck on so many that I watched yours it's amazing thanks so much for making a video about it. Now if I just had a grime guard that matched my project bag (wink wink) ;)) Catching up on your other videos I'm behind its been really nice out. This week not so much. TFS!! :))
Wow, thank you Cyndi!!
Christine, I had to stop your video to make this comment lest I forget by the end. Which I likely would have! I have been sewing for many years, but your tip about scoring the fold lines with that tool is something I have never done. I love it! I’ve seen those tools before but didn’t know what they were for. You can bet your sweet bippy I’ll be getting one! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.
Hi, Toni! When I first got the Hera marker it was to score quilt tops for quilting. When I realized I could use it for hem/fold lines, it was literally a light bulb moment in my sewing life...LOL!!
Great video!!!! Love all these video's with quilting also!
Thank you, Rose!
Christine, I enjoy learning from your tutorials. I am glad I am not that picky because I would never get anything sewn. Tonight I was sewing and my thread broke when it was in a spot that you would notice. I just carried on. Oh well. Next time I will use your trade secret if its for a friend. But most of my stuff is for grandchildren who don’t look the close.
Thanks for taking the time and care to share with all of us.
Thank you, Joanne! I'm only that picky when I sew for others. Not so much for myself! There are some things we just don't have time for; and spending 20 minutes to tie off and bury knots for my own grime guards is not one of those things...LOL!!!!
Love all your tutorials! Thank you!
Thank you!!
Man, I want to have in-person sewing and quilting lessons from you! You are an excellent seamstress and teacher. I appreciate your perfectness! 😉
Oh, wow, Toni! What a compliment!! Thank you!! I think some of the bag-sewing techniques crossed over into other areas. I learned making those that you should try to never have back stitching shown in any of your top stitching, and so that just sort of bled out into other areas of sewing. I still have so much to learn, I know!!
Another nice video Christine. I made a number of grime guards using an online tutorial, and they came out fine. I look forward to using yours for some more and think they will come out even nicer, since you take some extra steps b/c you sell yours. Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you, Sheila!!
Thanks for sharing your talents.
Thankyou so much for this tutorial. I am in desperate need of a few and have the fabric to do it .
Thank you Christine for the great video! Jacque
Thank you for taking the time to watch, Jacque!!
Christine! I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Take care.
Jenny!! Thank you! I've just been busier than usual lately! All is well!
Really thorough Grime Guard tutorial!
Thank you! Happy Sewing!!
I also use Friction pens to draw lines and marks. The friction pens iron away.
I have used them before, and stopped when the lines came back after ironing. I didn't have good luck with them, and learned my lesson on a quilt that I was gifting to someone. 😬
Wish was closer,.. and had a sewing machine! Thank u for sharing
💖💖💖
Thanks you for the tutorial
Thank you for this tutorial, I have a 20 x 30 inch frame that needs a grime guard!
A super tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you!!
I was just thinking the other day I needed more grime guards. Just got a special at Wal-Mart end of bolt for $1. One of them I bet had 2 yards left on it. Thanks for the step by step; I need this way of doing things.
Yay for the end of bolt price! Woo Hoo!!
hi christine! you and your videos are so much fun to watch! your personality carries far and your skill set is amazing. i was very drawn to this grime guard tute as mine have been a bit "under par" .i also appreciate you listing all the different measurements at the end. so kind of you to share so we don't have to reinvent the wheel ! also, i was impressed with the labels you have. do you have a favorite vendor you use? lastly, i love that you have all your "stuff" all around you and that you're so down-to-earth. you must be a wonderful friend to know. all the best, lucia
Oh, wow! Thank you so much Lucia! I ordered my labels from CustomLabels4u. You can find them on IG and here's their website: www.customlabels4u.com/woven-labels-1.shtml. They were great to work with. I had a lot of questions because the website was a bit confusing to me at first. So I just emailed them and they got back to me right away!
oh, thanks, christine! that was the exact company i began looking at! i just keep putting it off,duh. i want to have a minimum amt of labels done for my sewn and/or stitched gifts . i appreciate you sharing . you're a sweetheart! cheers,lucia
This, (grime guards) are new to me, but cool idea! I think I can make one now. Thanks!!
Have fun sewing! I hope I made it seem easy enough (it really is, but sometimes I over explain things).
Wow, very professional ....
Thanks!
@@StitchALLTheThings I quilt too. Its hard to pick which one I want to do....he he... Looking forward to selling my home and moving to Fl. Ohio is bad for my allergies....Sew looking forward to it....had to say it...lol.
Nice work, now I need to buy a sawing machine. 😁
Hahahaha! Thanks, Janet!! 😁
Thank you for this t tutorial I just made a grime grad
That is awesome!
Thank you.
You're welcome!💖
You are fantastic Christine, you explain everything so well. I made the cushion as you know now to try grime guards, no doubt you'll see it on Instagram and/or Facebook. Would you consider making a tutorial on how to make project bags? I'd love to be able to make my own as having to buy it and the cost of shipping to England is expensive xx
Oh, thank you so much! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your cushion too! I hope you love making these as well!! I would love to make a tutorial on those bags, but I can't because it's not my pattern. It's a pattern from byAnnie.com (it's actually called The Project Bag...for real!) I'm so sorry!!
Stitch ALL The Things I love my cushion too and it’s all thanks to you that I made that jump to make it. After I finished stitching the pattern I wasn’t sure what to do with it, I knew I didn’t want it on the wall so it was left in a plastic popper folder. Now I can look at it and appreciate it everyday. As for the grime guard I started last night after watch this at least 4-5 times I still made the mistake of cutting my fabric too short (seam allowance Sal 🙄 seriously LISTEN to Christine)! Anyway not all is lost I can make a smaller one with what I cut. Oh that’s such a shame about the project bags, I’ll take a look at the link you added. Maybe you could design your own 😉 anyway no worries. I hope you’re having fun with all the wonderful things you’re doing. Take care and I look forward to seeing your next video xx
❤❤❤
Wow, now I can make Grime Guards too. First though I have to do a quilt, right after I finish all my knitting / crocheting WIP's, in a couple of years....decades...SIGH.
Hahahahaha! I know the feeling, Susanna!!
I've never actually used a grime guard since I use hoops and most I've seen are for qsnaps. Do the ones for hoops work well or is it harder to keep them in place ?
I haven't actually used one on a hoop... I don't know how well they'd work for that or not. I've heard of people buying steering wheel covers at the Dollar store to use for the round hoops, so maybe they stay on okay?? I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you.
Hi. Thank you for the great video. Could you tell me is it the same process for making grime guards for hoops too? Thanks.
Hi, Aileen! I would think the same process would apply, but I would definitely cut down the width, since the hoop is not as thick as a QSnap. I'm not sure of the measurements, but I would start at 5", and see how that worked. If it was still too wide, then I'd try 4".
Great tutorial. Your attention to detail is commendable. I have seen a lot of sloppy sewing. I don’t know if people don’t care or if they just need to take a class from you. 😊 I love your labels. Where do you get them?
Thank you, Linda! I got the labels from CustomLabels4U. They are on Instagram and here is their website: www.customlabels4u.com/woven-labels-1.shtml The website seems overwhelming, but I emailed them to clarify certain things and make sure I understood the process (it's been a while since I ordered). They were fantastic to work with and their communication was excellent.
Great tutorial! Thanks. I'm wondering though about making grime gaurds for hoops. Would it pretty much go the same way? Because I don't like Q-snaps. I'm a hoop stitcher.
Thank you, Angi! I haven't made them for hoops, but I would think it would be the same process. I would definitely change the width though, since hoops aren't as thick as Q-snaps. Maybe start at 4" wide, iron the hems, wrap it around the edge of the hoop and then see if you need to reduce it more.
Stitch ALL The Things ok, sounds good. I'm not great at it but will try soon!
What width did you cut the fabric strip?
I mentioned at around 1:50 that I cut them 6" wide. I didn't realize I hadn't noted that in the description box, so I just updated the information there. Thank you for bringing that to my attention! ❤️
Great video. Did you make the iron pad also?? Do you have a video for that if so..
Thank you, Teri! I did make a pressing board to sit on my table. Unfortunately I didn't record a video when I made it. It was super quick to put together though, and very easy. I had a piece of wood cut to fit the table top (my husband cut it down for me, but Lowe's/Home Depot will cut it down as well). I cut a piece of cotton batting to fit the top of the wood. I cut a piece of Insul-Bright to the same size and placed it over the top (you can just use two layers of batting instead). Then I cut a piece of cotton duck fabric three inches larger (on all sides) than the piece of wood. I placed that on top, flipped the board over and used a staple gun to staple the fabric down. I cut a piece of batting and used some Aleene's Spray glue to adhere it to the back. That way it protects the table from the staples. Easy-peasy!
Stitch ALL The Things thanks so much.. BTW I love your Santa village piece!!!
Hi, why cutting fabric in 2 pieces instead of 1 piece ?
What is the tool you used to ‘score’ the fabric?
Hi, Kari! It's called a Hera Marker.
Stitch ALL The Things thanks! Found it and bought one. 😺
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you, Lyn!
