    You have just made my day! I've been hunting all over for a pattern on how to do this. You have my triple vote of approval and appreciation for this video. There are a couple of other videos about this, but they weren't quite as helpful as yours.
    I'm & going to have to get a Pringles tube & a used cereal box & start making these guys as gifts for my quilting friends. Thank you so much. Those of us who DIY really appreciate the time it takes to do these videos 😉👍
    Sewing happy, Patty 🧓😂

    The Pringles was a bonus! I’m going to make some in advance and give as gifts for all my crafty friends. You spoke slower and softly which was refreshing. While I played the videoover and over again I was actually making it WITH you. I enjoyed it. I can get 12 out of a Pringles can. I’m recycling cereal boxes, Pringle cans & old fabrics! THANK YOU for sharing!!

    Love it! And thank you for skipping the cutting process and for speeding up the stitching. We all should know how to cut cardboard by now and it gets so tedious watching all the detail on other videos. So cool! I can't wait to make these.

    Hi Angie, I have lost count of the videos I've watched this morning of different people making this thread catcher..... each one making it look more of a faff than the last! Thank you for helping me to get it at last. I'm happy to subscribe to your channel as I hope to see more of your videos. God bless❤

    I love that this is mostly sewn by hand, love it when I can relax and sew on my comfy couch. Can't wait to empty my can of Pringles now. Just finished making it, I love it so much more than the triangle one I made a few years ago.

    @Saucyakld Před 7 lety +3

    We made those last Xmas and filled them with goodies to give away at the quilt club. They were so well received and mine goes everywhere with me and my chicken pin holder. Both much admired. The chicken is made out of two log cabin blocks, so cute too

  • @kimtownsend838
    @kimtownsend838 Před rokem

    I have asked someone who eats pringles to save me their tube.
    Also if your not great with hot glue you can use a little bit of masking or sellotape to keep the plastic inside the pringles ring. Another tip is to use a few wonder clips or pins to keep it in place while you sew the ring in. Hope that answers some of the questions I read.😊
    I love this video, a newbie to sewing but I have got all my bits cut out and am ready to take it to my craft night tomorrow to do the hand sewing whilst I'm there. I know it's been 9 years since this was made but I just came across it and the instructions are clear, no babbling, easy to follow and to copy. Thank you for keeping this video up and for sharing. I love it Kim UK ❤

    • @AngiePadilla

    • @kimtownsend838
      @kimtownsend838 Před rokem

      @Angie Padilla your welcome, I always read the comments if I have a question, before asking and there were a few, the thing is people don't watch the video properly or a communication gap in different languages, I could hear perfectly well. But on other videos when there's an accent I just flip on the subtitles if I can't hear that bit. I have got it all ready to sew , must of watched the video at least 8 times lol 😁 hope you are well and may come back to make more videos at some point. Thank you 💗

  • @judyabernathy9405
    @judyabernathy9405 Před 8 lety +2

    This is a great alternative to other thread catchers I've made and used. I like that this one closes up completely when finished using it and takes up less space in a travel kit. I do English Paper Piecing while travelling which generates a LOT of thread snippets. Nothing worse than those snippets all over your car and pants. It empties easily, too. Thanks for the tutorial.

    Really enjoyed your video. I made one out of the pringles can but then I took one of my old plastic 4" embroidery hoops and it really works great. It is a little bigger which is great....Thanks for sharing.

    • @AngiePadilla
      @AngiePadilla  Před 4 lety +2

      That's a great idea with the embroidery hoop. Especially if you want it to use for something different than a thread catcher. Like a safe place in which to carry jewelry while traveling. Thank you for sharing.
