Yes
is there a tutorial on hw to do the hst units? I can;t figure them out or maybe I am am brain dead! lol
Not yet, but the pattern is very detailed and easy to understand with color diagrams. And it’s free!
@@otterandthyme This pattern says to cut 6 background 5 inch by 4 inch pieces and 6 orange. This doesn't work out to get 12 of each for the chevron. Am I not reading the pattern correctly?
@@barbshelly4760 I would love to answer any questions. Please email me at elena@otterandthyme.com
You pull your phone case off to charge?
No, the charger fits because the ribbon is thin and magnetic charging works well too
Perfect pattern for learning and the fall season.
@@cherylguthrie3959 Thank you! It’s available for free
What a great idea! That just gave me so many ideas!
Glad it was helpful! I can’t wait to see what you do!
Great tutorial! I loved the results ❤ thank you for sharing
@@leticiamurguey327 I appreciate your feedback!
I didn't even know that existed. Thank you. Ib don't do paper piecing but I can see it would be useful for applique or other crafts.
@@bonnieknighton7296 I haven’t seen it in other patterns either but my pattern has it included
I love your lion! Thanks for a comprehensive and easy to understand tutorial.
I'm so happy to hear it is useful!
My mind is blown!
Yes!!!
Thank you for this in-depth binding by machine video. I’ve been binding quilts for over thirty years but never by machine - the next one will be!
I’m glad it helped!
What a great use for a pop socket!!! Just don't put heavy stuff in bag.
the eyes on your machine is so cute 😅
@@mecahharlow1332 It has eyelashes too! I went all in for that one lol
How do you stop your mat from smelling like wet animal when using water or steam please?
I don't, unfortunately. It does start slightly fading in time, and I do not use any scented sprays either. Got used to it and every time I smell it I remind myself a sheep somewhere got a summer haircut and is now free to run like a gazelle in pastures without all the extra weight :))))
GENIUS
So smart!!
Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing
Why do you have trash? You are throwing money out.
Really smart!
Actually a hook makes a cheaper hook.
True, but this was already paid for and just sitting in a drawer :)
Now some people would ask why do you use plastic bags? 🤣
Of course they would :)
@@otterandthyme some people are not happy no matter what others do to make other people's lives easier. Sigh.
Excellent idea
What?? -puts pop socket on shopping list-
@@lwk4229 lol
This is genius!!!!! I love it!
Brilliant! 😻Thanks for sharing!
Wait, this is brilliant.
Yep 👍🏻 same here 😂even have 3 for different recycling ♻️
Brilliant
Thank you for sharing this! I'm totally going to start doing this now! ❤
I was thinking you were going to say you put your lightweight purse on it
Yep, right off to Amazon to get one
Nice! I have a couple of those free swag ones that I don’t use
Aaah! So creative thank you!
Omg amazing I finally have a use for my spare ones!
Great idea
This is hands down the BEST use I have seen for a pop socket.
You are my new favorite person!
@@VoodooAngel63 Awe, thank you!
Crafthack!
That's so clever!
Pop sockets 👍 Throw waste mixed garbage away😮!!!????
Whats wrong with a regular trash can?!
@@bebenut123 Floor space and I don’t want to lean down when I’m cutting fabric. For quilters it’s a lot more convenient to have something within reach. But for me it’s mostly that I don’t want a trash can on the floor where I have no room for it.
@@otterandthyme Got you, makes a lot of sense!
🤯
Isn't a trashcan easier? Just donk it. I'm a big fan of having a trashcan in every room.
@@Lilian040210 I don’t have the floor space for a trash can and it would be lined with a plastic bag anyway.
That is an amazing idea but also I used to work at the MSQC warehouse so like that pop socket gave me nightmare flashbacks 😂
@@cinnarminroll9576 Oh, no!
I dont expect my cross stitch or fabrics to be displayed in a blizzard, so i think they'll work fine 😅
@@invadersin5203 Lol I agree
Brilliant!❤
Smart!!! Thank you! I am doing this! ❤
That's so smart! Ive used a command strip and a little hook on my desk before but that's s great way to re-purpose a popsocket!
HOLY CRAP.... I need to do this SO MUCH. Lol
Smart, but the sturdy ones r expensive
They're not cheap, that's for sure, but I had this laying around in a drawer being forgotten about, so might as well use it
