LEGO Organization with Mesh Zipper Pouches
Are your kiddos obsessed with legos like mine are? And the storing of them all just doesn't work anywhere?
I just transferred all of my kid's legos OUT of the boxes and into these mesh, waterproof, clear zipper pouches! Now they can easily be placed into a box in their closet and they can see which one they're grabbing to stay organized.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to adjust the BOBBIN tension (L-Bobbin) using the TOWA tension guage. I hav...

I need one! Thanks for the review!
Thank you, Mel! My machine is supposed to be delivered Jan 2! Excited and also a bit nervous!
That is very exciting! Let me know if I can help in any way! It's a learning curve, for sure but you'll love it!
So helpful! Can't wait for part 2!
Coming soon!
How do I order this?!?
My Etsy shop! Link in my YT bio 😊
Wow that's beautiful 😮
Nice video. Any chance you would know how hi the foot can go. Hope I'm saying that right.
@@jondunit6232 When raised all the way (lifting the presser foot lever UP), it's close to a 1/2" - I hope that helps!
I need a tutorial on how to do the sleeve 😭
I'll get one up soon! ☺️
So freaking cute. And it’s magic colors!!
@@JessicaGottBamberg It totally is!! 💜 Thank you!
Me knot never stays
@@MACoutureCrafting You gotta tie it 2-3 times! That way it will hold! 💜
That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip 😊
Of course!

@@paulsapp8022 Thanks so much! 💜
My mom always got the baby hoops for clothes so she could just slide it on there
@@Zayleeek That works too if you have them available and they work with your machine!! That's how I do it on my multi-needle machine but my topaz needs to be done this way 💜

Those sleeve embroideries are awesome!
this is really creative i love it
Thank you so much!! They're all so unique!
Hi I use extra huge plastic clothes pins from the dollar tree (blue or white ones)… they look similar to the jump start cables cables that you attach to a car when your battery dies.. but I want to try yours do you have a link?
I've seen those! Do you like using them? And yes - here is my link: amzn.to/4eA8V4k They're listed in my Amazon Storefront too, my link is clickable through my main YT page :)
@ it has a pretty strong grip when using with clothes that are extra bulky thanks for the link
Do you have any tutorial I have a topaz 50 it’s been so difficult to embroider with 😅
Hi! I can absolutely do a tutorial for the Topaz 50. Is there something specific you'd like to see? Embroidering a name or design? Let me know!
@ awesome !!! Either one would be great!! Thank you !!

Hey what sewing machine are you using?
@@asu-chan1812 Hi! I'm using a Husqvarna Viking Ruby Royale in this video!
@MamaMel.Collection thank youu🙏
Very helpful! I'm looking to get a SmartStich multi needle machine, would it be a similar process on that machine?
Please sell one, I will buy it!
@@OfficalCrossTradingProofs They're available in my Etsy Shop! Here's a link 💜 themamamelcollection.etsy.com/listing/1805029260
That is so pretty!
@@VickyLicursi-Jani Thank you! It turned out SO special 🥹
What a great idea!
What a great gift idea for my wife!
She would love it!
Wow, such detail!
So much detail! Well worth it! 😁
Cannot wait to see the end result
It turned out incredible, I'll be sharing the rest of it this week! 💜💍
Your best is good enough ❤
I love Charlie Brown
Great to know they're recyclable. I love saving the planet.
Our recycling and garbage gets sold to third world countries for the financial incentive most of the places can’t handle the waste so it just winds up ruining their homeland.
Thanks for the input! 🙂
What presser foot is that ? Can you explain why you use it
@@directorz890 Hi! That is a Sensor Q foot and they're specific to the Husqvarna Viking Machines! It and the machines "sense" the fabric type and thickness to determine the tension (which gets set automatically). Cool, huh!
You showed up on my feed 😍 I can’t wait until you get your watermark to put in your videos ❤
@@kadzzz757 AHHHHH I did?! Woot woot! Girl I can't wait for my watermarks! 💜
Thank you, very informative!
Glad you found it informative! 😁
I want to embroider stockings for Christmas! Would one of these stabilizers work or do you have another recommendation?
I would recommend Tear Away! You don't want the stabilizer showing on the back since so many hands will be in and out of the stocking! ❤️

Hi! I have a brother NS1150 aka PE 800. Do you think this feature is built into the above embroidery machine? Thanks
I'm sure it is, especially if it's able to do applique/multiple color stops! I would check your manual or lookup via serial number! You can always play around on your screen with a design 💜
Do you have any advice for uploading embroidery files onto this machine? When I go to open my files, I get an error message
@@UltraModernGirl Hi! Are you using a compatible file format? The Husqvarna Vikings take .hus or .vp3 or .vip - feel free to message me on IG or TT to chat more! 💜
@@MamaMel.Collection I just tried the vp3 and it worked! Thank you so much❤️
@@UltraModernGirl AWESOME!!! So happy to hear! 💜

At first i thought it was something to eat 😭
Lol! Not this time 😜
Cute
Thanks so much!
If you can’t lift 40 pounds without sweating, you need more exercise. Respectfully.
@@xavierbatz3138 Respectfully, did I say I did or did not break a sweat? Or did I say I got a workout in moving them around my office? Also, did you ask what I do for exercise in general to know my strength? 😉😉 Also, did you know how much these machines weigh already? Which was the point of my fun fact!? Have a blessed, wonderful day sir! 💜
That's not going to work. Tape your windows, so if they break, they will stay in tact.
We did!! Just didn't film that part 🤪 Thank you, this storm is wicked!
Hope that works. Stay safe
Thanks so much! 💜
