I've been making these out of tea towels for years. My eldest grandchild is 25 now 😄

Here is a trick that I figured out while making baby blankets, and this might sound crazy, but if you use Bobby pins, it holds your fabric nice and flat and you can move the Bobby pin as you sew to keep your fabric nice and flat, and you are not getting poked by pins 😉! I highly recommend you try it😎👍

I love your videos and the projects you make. Please don't encourage people to sew over pins. Pins should always be removed before they go under the presser foot. Hitting a pin could break your needle, pieces of needles fly up and can be dangerous. Hitting a pin can also throw the machine timing out meaning an expensive repair.

@angelaponder3348 6 жыл бұрын

Yup... they break the actual machine needle. Gah.. . Been there done that!

Oh my goodness your wee baby is so cute! Love this bib idea too but oh my word....you sew over your pins! Ahhhh!! I could never do that, I'm always afraid of one catching and my needle tip breaking off and stabbing me in the eye, lol. A little dramatic I know, and it probably would never happen but with my luck....I just never know, teehee. Great wee project, super cute. Lee xx

When I first started 10 yrs ago sewing and learning how to peace quilting I used to go over pins. NOT any more, I had my machine needle did exactly what you described above. Thankfully I wear glasses or it would have hit me in the eye. so no do not sew over your pins ladies its not good for you or your machine.

@@teresasweat3180 Yeah. I had one that broke the needle & the chunks of said needle went down INTO the machine & totally screwed up the timing. The machine ended up being junk.

What a cute bib! I think you could also use that "already quilted" fabric from the fabric store, purchased on sale, of course. I had another idea. What about a pad that you could lay down on those public changing tables in the bathroom at the store? I am a grandma now, but I think I would like to lay my baby on a clean pad if I had to change them while shopping. Then you could just wash it and put it back in the diaper bag.

I noticed you leave the pins in while sewing I was told you should pull the pins out as you see so the needle does not break. So I am assuming it's totally okay to see with the pins left in. Is that correct or is it personal preference? Thank you for any advice on this topic.

@dawnparker614 6 жыл бұрын

Lisa Binney as long as the pins are inserted as she shows in her tutorial you can sew right over them. 😀

@katielove9932 6 жыл бұрын

Lisa Binney Don't believe what dawn parker says. Pins are to never be left in the fabric for sewing. It's very dangerous, could break your needle and ruin your machine. Be safe.

@petmomful2260 6 жыл бұрын

Bausie, do not be discouraged! I have been sewing for many years and I remember when I started, everything was crooked! We did not have KZfaq in those days. I just had to ask my mom all my questions. She was an excellent sewer. The more you do it, the more you will learn, and the straighter your sewing will get. Like anything else, you have to keep at it, try new things, and practice. I don't know what I would do without my sewing; I would be so bored! It is a very creative outlet, saves you money, and lets you make pretty things for the home, and yourself! I am sewing for grandchildren now, so fun. Please do not give up. You can find a video to teach you anything. You may also want to take a class at Craftsy.com, or at a nearby fabric store. You may also have a neighbor who will answer your questions. I know that I am always happy to help anyone learn to sew. Ask around, you might be surprised. Also you can buy little seam guides that help you sew straighter. I use one all the time. There are so many new, great notions out there to help you do any sewing job.

I just realised this is 4 years old. I hope your now sewing straight. I haven’t sewed in years. I’m sure I’ll need practice as well, it’s great fun ( well if things turn out well ) it’s not cheap to sew now, but at least you get what you want.
