I wonder if anyone has tried this on a regular square napkin? I am getting married in October and would love to even somewhat replicate this look on all of our plates but due to time constraints cutting out and stitching all 80 some odd napkins is just not feasible.

2022-06-06 01:28:58 +0000 UTCThese are truly exquisite! I want to be invited to a dinner party at your house! Your videos are like watching an extreme sport! Wow. Amazing!! Are you the astrological sign of a Virgo? The detail is so precise! Thank you.π·

2021-04-11 03:16:13 +0000 UTCHi Sonja, I donβt know how much it cost at the time, I received my overlocker as a gift from my parents (birthday and Christmas presents combined) in 2013. Googling Janome 8002DX, a slightly updated model seemed the be available for AUD$389 maybe take a look and see what it costs near where you live, I think Janome sales here usually happen once a year around May

2021-04-03 22:11:28 +0000 UTCYou would find it so helpful with your garment construction, also. I am a new subscriber and am enjoying your creativeness and the creations! Thank you.

2021-04-01 21:20:15 +0000 UTCThis is super-helpful!! What did your machine cost? Super-Thanks!!! : )

2021-04-01 16:56:58 +0000 UTCIf Iβm not butting in π baby lock and Janome are also reliable brands. I have a Janome 8002DX. The most useful thing to look for is that the machine can be converted from 4 thread to 3 thread and the cutting blade can be adjusted and the stitch finger can be dropped so you can do a rolled hem. My machine also came with different feet for attaching cording, strings of beads or wire to the edge of fabric. You can also buy attachments for gathering one piece of fabric onto another at the same time as you overlock them together. My mum has one of these and itβs amazing for making tiered skirts or petticoats π

2021-03-31 11:28:15 +0000 UTCI just have a really old Berina which suits me fine. I prefer the basic ones to the really fancy ones, but I suppose it depends on what you will be doing with it. Also, I'm in Australia and I believe USA has more choice. Sorry i can't be more helpful. Love your work by the way π xxx

2021-03-31 09:46:43 +0000 UTCThank you Zoeayn! I agree and think I might have to! Do you have a brand or model you suggest?
Christine McConnell
2021-03-31 00:58:11 +0000 UTCLovely! I would like to suggest you get a serger/overlocker it will make your life soooo much easier. Totally worth the money, you would of done each napkin in 5 minutes easy π xxx

Nancy Hoffman
2021-03-23 15:11:49 +0000 UTCThe amount of patience you have astounds me. These turned out gorgeous, but I'm not sure I'd be able to manage it myself:')
Lauren Downard
2021-03-23 11:56:50 +0000 UTCBatty and like a Georgia O'Keeffe flower all in the same. Amazing! Love your work and videos!

Charlotte Meyer
2021-03-21 16:44:26 +0000 UTCSo exciting!! Would LOVE to see what you do with such a space, I would love to be able to have a home like that! There are so many gorgeous old cottages and houses here in England!
Natasha
2021-03-21 16:20:28 +0000 UTCSo, I absolutely love the score based on the sounds of the clocks in the house. It's really beautiful. (Also, I miss the sound of coo-coo clocks.)
Rosalie Langmod
2021-03-21 15:50:21 +0000 UTCReally liked it done in this format!
Katherine Young
2021-03-21 14:21:15 +0000 UTCHi Christine, I've just put in an offer on a 17th century cottage - so excited, and hoping it's all going to go through ok. It would have been built during the height of the witch hunts in England so you can imagine the sort of decor I'm planning! I think these napkins will definitely feature.
Charlotte Meyer
2021-03-21 12:11:29 +0000 UTCChristine, all I asked was whether you use cloth napkins or paper. Geez π
David
2021-03-21 05:05:44 +0000 UTCSo good! I loved this smaller episode!
Samantha McDonald
2021-03-21 03:59:43 +0000 UTCWOW! It's funny that it looked perfect almost immediately, but then you kept fiddling with it anyway.

Mina Murray
2021-03-21 02:02:39 +0000 UTChonest to goodness I was terrified the whole time because the cat was in such an odd position and he just didn't move lol also Christine you inspire me to want to get better with a sewing machine love yew

Shelby Snow
2021-03-20 14:00:38 +0000 UTCI love them! I'm a novice sewer--I'm learning again after MANY moons past Home Ec in high school, so I don't think mine would be as beautiful as yours, but this is a really cool idea!
Tammy R Dowden
2021-03-20 09:10:02 +0000 UTCHello! So nice!! I think I might have a trick to make the sewing faster and maybe a little less fraying: first cutting the fabric along the marker line, then ironing on the tear away stabilizing fabric, and after that sewing the thick zig zag only once (perhaps making it even thicker?), then tear away... I thought of it because its how you do appliquΓ© on embroidery machines, sort of. Hope it helps :) ahh yes! there is also a stabilizer that dissolves when washed. Love what you do Christine!

2021-03-20 08:32:11 +0000 UTCThe anticipation for the wallpaper is killing me. I am SO excited to see how this turned out and am eagerly waiting to see the completed dining room. This is gonna be so awesome.

Racheal Jones
2021-03-20 02:40:28 +0000 UTCI absolutely LOVE these napkins and have been looking for snake/bat rings, necklaces and earrings so they'll turn out similar to yours. They don't even have to match. It's autumn here in Australia so having so many episodes to watch, in already single digit temps is AWESOME xx

Liv
2021-03-19 23:38:17 +0000 UTCFantastic as usual. Great recap of the process. Adding it to my craft βTo Doβ list. And the Captiveβs use of the clock sounds in the score of this video brought a smile to my face. Hope you all are safe and well. Looking forward to the wallpaper series. XOXOX
The Homesick Brit
2021-03-19 23:25:01 +0000 UTCLove these! Now Iβm inspired to make some for our new house! When you made the pattern, did you intend for them to be able to lay out like the finished product or was it more of a cool pattern you liked and the foldability was a happy side effect?
Jessica Darne
2021-03-19 22:33:46 +0000 UTCI'm obsessed with the place settings. Beautiful and whimsical!
