Carrie Nelson seems like the nicest person ever. In every video I've seen with her (and the lives), she's as sweet as she can be. Love her book SO MUCH.
SmittenKitten she IS one of the nicest people ever!
@@aliceborge5632 That's so awesome to hear! I love it when we find out the people we admire turn out to be as amazing in real life as they appear to be!!
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. 😉
Love your book and tutorials. They make sweet bowl fillers! And who doesn't need multiple pin cushions? Love the beach houses!!!
I LOVE this book, and Carrie is so funny. Great video!
I really enjoyed your tutorial on the walnut pin cushion! Your fun and funny, very real..thanks, Sandy
Thank you for all the great tips for stuffing my pin cushions.
Carrie, you are awesome! Thanks for sharing your great tips with us!
Wow, great teaching video. You are a natural teacher! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Carrie.....I absolutely love to watch your videos. Your are always so easy to listen to and I learn something new every time.
You are a dear and I look forward to seeing more tutorials from you.
Thanks and take care,
ann
Carrie you are a great teacher!
Great tutorial and tips for the corners and stuffing! I have this book and love it!
Great tutorial Carrie - I bought your book after it was reviewed by Sara Lawson on her Sunday show and just love it! I have only made one pinnie so far but will definitely do more!
Great tips!! And the Fitbit comment cracked me up! Thanks for the chuckle!! :-)
Excellent! I have the book and look forward to making some pin cushions. Thanks for all the pointers.
Got the book, and love the tutorial. Thank you Carrie
Thanks so much for a great tutorial. I love the fancy pincushions as much as the many pairs of scissors I have. (Always looking to add to the stash). Jess
Thank you Carrie...excellent tutorial and tips!
Thank you for showing the fillings.....never thought of aquarium sand.
Thank you for the wonderful presentation.
You are utterly charming and just made me want to sew some pin cusions!
Thank you. Been searching for ages for a tutorial on this subject. Very clear instructions. 👍😁
Thank you, this is great. Know what I should be doing now! Great tutorial 👍🤩
Thanks so much. Just got your book and I can't wait to make some.
Great tips, so helpful. Thank You!
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!
Thanks for a great informative video tutorial. Your little cusions are so dreamy. Got to have your book. Thank you.
Outstanding tutorial!!
Great demonstration. There's a large assortment of fillers, I've seen some with a little steel wool shreaded to to help keep your pins sharp. I've sold these at craft sales.
Thanks for the tips on getting it full.
Great ideas! Thank you!😃
Loved this tutorial ♥️♥️♥️

great tutorial. and very helpful tips.
Great tutorial and you are funny too, thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks!
Very helpful. Thanks!
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.
Thank you ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💁🏻♀️
This was great.
Sew fun! ❤️
Thanks! 🌸🌸
Awesome pin cushions. Hope I can find a copy in Canada somewhere soon!
Suzanne Hanlon I got mine through Amazon.ca
Thanks for sharing

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.
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.
👍❤️😊
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?
Hi Sara! That is the modern version of Summer Moon, which is a quilt a book by Carrie! You can find it here: www.fatquartershop.com/summer-moon-book
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?
I've heard walnut shells sharpen your pins. I hope more people respond.
Thank you great information, do you ever make pincushions in a tea cup?
Glad music was stopped. Great tips, thanks. Where to purchase crushed walnut shells? Do other nuts' shells work as well? Or sawdust?
I got my walnut shells on Amazon.
Crushed walnut shells can be bought at pet stores as they use them in lizard aquariums
Hi Nancy, we sell those walnut shells in our shop: www.fatquartershop.com/finely-ground-walnut-shells-12-oz
I've used hair for pincushions. The oil in the hair oils the pins.
Can you use rice for filling? Or does it need to be something to sharpen the needles?
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.
I like you.you take the mickey out of yourself.
what was the name of the wooden "stick" you were using when turning?
A chop stick. I use the ones I get from the Chinese Restaurant.
What if you cannot get your hands on the shells or sand?
Hi L! You can always stick with just poly fill or cotton stuffing, the cushions will just have less weight to them.
Where do you get the walnut shells?
At Fat Quarter Shop of course 😉 www.fatquartershop.com/finely-ground-walnut-shells-12-oz
I don’t think crushed walnut shells are a thing in the UK.
Just began to listen...music must be stopped..
Want to hear words; thanks.
Pena que não entendi nada !!!
