I'm a little bit late to the party, but thank you for this. It's taken me quite some time, but I now have a completed piece and have learned lots of new techniques. I'm also now planning to join in 2025's stitchalong, thanks again!
“… a good amount of squish.” I love it. You’ve inspired me to try textile art. I can’t work anymore and have been looking for a new creative outlet. Thank you for sharing with us.
I've just subscribed to your channel to learn more hand-stitching techniques. Thank you for sharing so much information. I would really appreciate more close-ups, while you are stitching and while preparing the fabric (folding, gathering, etc.). Nothing wrong with moving the camera in closer sometimes or using the close-up function. You don't have to have the whole piece of work showing all the time.
Hi there. Thanks for your feedback. I run my chanel on a shoestring and have a very simple set up. I do try to do closer shots where possible, but my camera doesn't have a close up function or optical zoom so closeups either mean lower resolution or resetting my camera mid-stitch. One day I hope I'll have a great camera so that I can zoom in and out more easily but for now, it's not easy. I hope as you follow my videos through the year, you'll see some improvements along the way. X
Absolutely love this video. You are a super teacher with a lovely calm voice & a great artist. Thank you so much for showing us how it's done. I'm addicted to watching you work.
Wowzers! That's so very kind of you. I am really pleased you find the videos helpful. I just muddle along really, so if there's useful stuff in there, I am really happy. Thanks for watching and for being so encouraging. X
Fabulous meeting of tutorial and project! It has taken me 4 periods of time to watch all the way through -- your calm steady voice over has lulled me into sleep. Dual duty video! I will likely "watch" over and over 💚
I think flaming your fabric is a great idea! This video is inspiring me to finish a wall hanging I started 4 years ago! I have underwater stuff at the bottom!
That's such an encouragement. Thank you. I do hope you finish your project and proudly display it somewhere it can be appreciated. It sounds like an exciting piece of art. 🤗
Thanks so much. I'm really glad you liked it. It was so much fun to make. It's been a while and I think it's time for another fabric manipulation project I think.
That's so lovely of you. Thanks for watching. I am really glad you found the video helpful. Fabric is so versatile - I am always on the hunt for new ideas to try too. 😊
So excited to find your videos. I am fiber artist who has mostly done needle felting embellished with embroidery but of late wanted to include fabric collage in some of my pieces. Your techniques are exactly what I needed to maintain the textural quality of my pieces!!! Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher!
That's so kind of you. Thanks so much. There are so many ways to work with fabric - this was a fun way to include as many as possible in one piece. I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🤗
I only just recently discovered your YT channel and have been binge watching your Winging It videos. You are an amazingly creative artist and lovely teacher. This underwater reef scene is incredible! The colors, the textures, the techniques, the whole composition is SO inspiring to me! I can't wait to try fabric manipulation! Love everything about this 😻
Wowzers!! What an amazing comment. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. I am really delighted to hear that you are feeling inspired. I really hope you have a go. 🤗
I agree - I need to invest in a heat gun. I have so much kit in a small space, that I didn't want a candle burning all the time. I need to pan out sometimes so that everyone can see the chaos all around me! 😂 Thanks so much for watching.
WOW! You are so creative. I probably won't do the block but there are some techniques I definitely will try later. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ocean scene.
That is Beautiful! So glad I stumbled upon your channel. I've never done textures before so I'm going to have to try this. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. ❤
Thanks so much. This might be one of my favourite projects ever! I cackled like a maniac all the way through making it. It's about time I did something similar for another video.
So many things to try. Thanks for your generous sharing. A wondering . . . And maybe someone said this already in the comments . .. I wonder of a heat gun would be a slightly less hazardous way of melting the fabric? Will have to try. Just a thought . . Thanks again!
Hello! 👋 So glad you enjoyed the video. I am sure a heat gun would be safer... I don't own one though. I have seen people use tea lights which are at least fairly stable. I do tend to live dangerously where fabric is concerned. Have you seen my pepper video? That green lame nearly destroyed me! 😂 🫑
what a fabulous video - thanks so much for including 'trapunto' Rebecca. I have heated fabric to shrink it before, and I used a heat gun on a heat-proof surface (held fabric in place with a pokey-tool) it goes 'crunchy' and is a fabulous thing to do :-) Thank you for explaining things so clearly :-) xx
58:16 "normal people call it a hem?" ...So funny! Your brain is now mush; but it still made sense to me...😁 I didn't even question the term until the script popped onto the screen...
Absolutely! That's why I did it! 🤫😂 All of my videos show my actual process. It's never perfect and things never go completely to plan. It's all part of the fun. 👍
Such an amazing video with soooo much information. Thank you for what you do and I’m so grateful that you share it all. Looking forward to some binge watching here over next couple of days and a new subbie here from Australia
Wow! Thank you so much. That's such an encouragement. Thank you for watching. Do tag me if you post any of your creations - I would love to see your interpretations. 🤗
Oh I really like your underwater piece ! I am working on something very similar , but I am trying to sew on some large fish . My problem is that I got stuck to embroider some fish scales . I did sequins , but I need something else like bulions or French knots , but as I said , I had to stop !
Thanks so much. I really like feather stitch for fish scales - worked so that they are quite shallow. There are loads of ways to do it though. Your piece sounds great. 😊
@@lisbethbredgaard7835 of course. It just needs to be robust enough to take the weight of everything you add. This was one page from a felt book. I'm working on reclaimed fabric this year.

I totally agree. In all my Winging It videos, I try not to unpick or start again. My philosophy is that if I don't like it, it isn't finished. 90% of the time, beads are the answer! 😂
I did it in 2 afternoons. It's quicker han you might think. The padding and pleating took longest -about 45 mins each. The trapunto, ruffle, twisting and trapping were quick - under 20 mins. Melting, and gathering took about 10 mins each. I only spent about 40 mins adding embroidery. You can do as much or as little as you like. If there's a technique you particularly like, use it more than once. Just have fun. 🤗
I liked your video, but I think is too long. I think shorter videos with a few techniques would have been easier. I watched it in pieces, but I think you could have pieced yourself.
Thanks for the feedback. It was part of a year long project - one video per week. That's why it was all in one. Hopefully there was something useful there for you.
Hi there. I am sorry about the ads. Unfortunately I don't have much control over ads in my videos as UA-cam puts them in automatically. I can't even see where they get added. It's one of the ways UA-cam makes money from public videos on channels that don't charge for membership. I hope that you were able to skip and that the project was inspiring in spite of the breaks.
@@featherstitchhouse Thank you for your reply….I don’t understand this …I am myself a textile artist and have sewn all my life….I watch many sewing videos…some go on longer than yours ,might have one or two ads,but nothing like this…you can’t skip them they still insist on showing them…certainly spoils viewing..hope you don’t lose views over this!!
@@christinepreston8267 Hi again. I have spent some time digging around behind the scenes and have just discovered how to manage ads. I only got this facility 2 weeks ago and am just learning. I went into the back end of this video and was horrified to discover that something like 20 ad breaks had been automatically inserted into my video. This was nothing to do with me - I had no idea and can totally understand why you would have been cheesed off! I have now deleted them and turned off in video ads on all videos under 30 mins. If you hadn't commented, I would've had no idea this had happened so thanks for letting me know. I hope that you will watch some more of my videos and that the experience hasn't put you off. UA-cam is mostly a mystery to me. I am just a stitcher trying to share my love of fabric and thread with the world. I am learning all the time and want my channel to be as good as it can be. Hopefully now I know how to control what happens in my videos, we shouldn't have any more ad bombing! UA-cam makes you learn in public - inexperience is on display to the world. It's uncomfortable, sometimes embarrassing but I hope the good outweighs the bad for the most part. Have a great day. 👍
If u want people to watch yr videos then speak up and speak clearer. You're not just talking to yr English folks but please don't lose yr accent. When I'm not trying to learn something I enjoy listening and trying to guess which country they are from. We are all God's children. Than km s for all yr ideas. Have a blessed day.😄
