Tula Pink tells you about her favorite English Paper Piecing notions and supplies. Ranging from must have to would be nice to have, Tula breaks down why each notion is an EPP essential. You’ll need cutting tools, starting with a rotary cutter and from there you can dive into different snips and microserated scissors that make the job easier. Then come the needles and thread. Tula’s favorite needles are the Hiroshima Tulip “Big eye”, but the most essential part of that is that they have the big eye for easier threading. For thread, Tula recommends Aurifil 50wt as it is fine enough yet strong enough to get a pretty stitch but withstand travel. Did you know thread has a right and wrong side for threading? Tula teaches us all about that too!

Wow! So informative. I never knew about how the direction of thread may cause knots. Thanks for the tips. The little metal pieces to hold your pieces together remind me of my workplace name tags. I have never EPP but I may have to try it after all of these videos.

I like that!! I hope you won't mind me using it as I teach my small group of would-be sewers at church. I try to explain the concept, but by the time I get to the end of the lesson, they're rolling their eyes and don't have time to sew!! LOL

So, I am on the homestretch of finishing, what I am calling my Covid Quilt......English paper pieced, all handsewn!!! Happened upon your amazing 3 episode tutorials about the craft......amazing! Of course, I sure wish I had watched before I started my project, but watching after 8 or 9 weeks of daily handstitching, I was pleased to learn that I had done some things correctly......and some things that plagued me and would have been easily solved if I had happened upon you earlier! In any case, I watched all 3 episodes last night, I love all of the tips, your practical solutions, and, mostly, your sense of humor! I died laughing a couple of times. As I get to the end of my project, i will not lie, I have said to myself, “while I am proud and glad I did this, I will never EPP again!” After watching you, I am reinspired......who knows? Thank you so much

Tula is such an inspiration! She’s absolutely correct about thread. I also thread my needle on the spool since thread does have a right end and wrong end to be threaded through the needle. I learned this several months ago and it really does change hand sewing. I will be getting some of the big eye needles she talked about. Love everything she taught us today. Going to go look at her hardware collection. This girl knows what she is talking about and I for one am going to listen and use the best products. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis which both take a toll on your body. She’s done all the figuring out for us. Thank You Tula. You go girl.

Every person who hand sews, or cross stitches should watch this video and pay attention to the information about thread. It’s so true. I noticed very recently that my floss, no matter what dyer or manufacturer has a right and a wrong way to go thru the needle. The right way never knots, the wrong way constantly curls up and knots.

Oh, I used thread from a bobin too. Now I know to first cut the thread and then thread from the other end when using it from a bobin. Great to know ! On the other video, you were talking about licking the thread situation and why is not good to do it. I’ve done that too. Now, I’m cutting off that licked thread if I still lick it to go easier through needle. Thank you Tula !

People, listen to her on the thread!!!!!! She right! I learned the hard way.

Thank you Tula, two marvellous videos, I also only sew with Tulip needles, they are expensive but fabulous to sew with. I loooove the magnetic pins, that is a need, pure and simple. I also glue and hack - first video - as life is far too short for tacking and basting! Am off to look at video three. By the way it is worth having a kindle just for your lesson in thread alone, that was marvellous, I use Wonderful thread which is also great. The thing is not to use cheap needles or thread, you get what you pay for in sewing that's for sure. I will remember about the microscopic Christmas trees forever, brilliant.

I learned so much!! So glad you were curious enough to do a deep dive into the science of thread. and then share your findings. And the info about the micro-serrated scissors too. And I don't understand why manufacturers make microscopic size needle eyes - one of life's frustrating mysteries? Or maybe the manufacturer doesn't use the product and no one ever brought it to their attention? Looking forward to the next video in this series!

OMG! I have been sewing forever and I have learned so much about sewing today by watching this video. I never stopped to think about why my thread would get knots or how much tension I was putting on my hands and body. I have started working on "self-care" more and you have shown me a lot of "self pain." Thank you for opening my eyes, people have always said "What you don't know won't hurt you." But you prove my thought, "that what you don't know, can hurt you a lot." Once again thank you for breaking these things down to where I could understand more.

@Mrsmuffin1958 4 жыл бұрын

Tula this was awesome!! I've been teaching (one-on-one or small groups at church) thread spool anatomy and how to put the spool onto the machine and how to thread a needle so that you don't get knots, just like you explained today. Hooray!! But I never understood WHY things work the way that they do with thread. And being a registered nurse (retired) it's important to me to understand the whys of things. I've never been really good with "just do as I say, not as I do," etc. In nursing we learn how the body works at the microscopic level--cells and stuff. In sewing we need to know WHY the thread doesn't knot as much when we thread the needle from the cut end of the thread and then tie a knot in the next end that you cut. So don't pull the thread through the needle and tie a knot in the end that went through the eye of the needle first. It's hard to explain, isn't it? But such an important concept. Now I know WHY, at the microscopic level, that that concept is true which does my little heart good!! I've also been guilty of taking a 3 foot length of thread and sewing with it hoping not to have to re-thread my needle and then wondering why I kept getting pesky knots and worn thread despite having threaded my needle correctly. Now I know!! I love it!! You're a really good teacher, Tula, as well as a great designer and quilter. I'll be following you, my dear!! xx
