The Fitbit comment cracked me up! You're my kind of person. I've learned winding DMC floss on the little plastic bobbins for cross stitch is another great way to get my "steps" in. 😉

Brilliant! You are a natural teacher: prepared, informed, take charge, step by step, get to it. I have watched so many videos with folks who may be creative and have beautiful projects, but they “ahhhh, uhmmm” and talk about all the ways they are unprepared. You, on the other and (and thankfully) were absolutely perfect in every aspect of your presentation. Thank you!

What stuffing material allows a pin to enter as easily as possible? I really love it when the pin slides in with almost no effort. Thank you.

The title of this vid "Filling and stuffing pincushions with Carrie Nelson" got me worried! Was very relieved when wadding and nut shells were used instead of Carrie herself! Lol. Great vid, will try this out sometime.

How timely for me. I have been curious as to whether one could use the strips of wadding/filler from pill bottles for pin cushion stuffing. Has anyone tried this? I have quite a lot gathered up but have not experimented. I think her instruction to pull the fibers apart rather than leaving them in bigger pieces make a lot of sense. I also think I would prefer if it was cotton vs synthetic, so I will most likely do a small burn test to help sort them. Also, I was aware that nut shells and fine sand are used for bottom weights (put into a separate little cloth bag then dropped into the outer covering before stuffing) but thought those materials might dull the pins and needles over time. Opinions welcome.

@FatQuarterShopTX 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Holly! We've never tried that wadding from pill bottles but it should work just the same as poly-fil, although we are unsure if it's cotton or polyester. As for the walnuts, we've heard overwhelmingly from other customers that they actually sharpen your needles and that's why they're so popular for pincushions.

@jackiec5617 4 жыл бұрын

I've used hair for pincushions. The oil in the hair oils the pins.

@foggymtn 5 жыл бұрын

Very nice tutorial, thank you. A friend told me she thought walnut shells would cause my pins to rust. Is that true? I've never seen anyone use aquarium sand. How does it compare to the walnut shells?

@mandystevenson166 5 жыл бұрын

I've heard walnut shells sharpen your pins. I hope more people respond.

fun little pincushions...I've never used crushed walnut shells, but thanks to your earlier comment, I won't due to allergies in the family. Also, love the quilt in the background...what is the pattern called?

Can you use rice for filling? Or does it need to be something to sharpen the needles?

@FatQuarterShopTX 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Lisa! Rice is a common filler and you can totally use it. The only stuffing we know of that sharpens needles are the walnut shells but the pincushion doesn't have to be for sharpening needles.
