You explain this so well. I never thought of using the interfacing instead of paper. Have a good week. X
Happy stitching 🧵 ❤️
Love these! I watched your first FPP video and thought, "I'll never do that because I hate sitting at my machine." Now I can do it too! Yay. Love your channel!
Thank you so very much for showing me how to do pp by hand. I have arthritis and my mobility has been lost so am looking for small bits to hand sew and these houses are so adorable, I am going to give them a go. You have such a calm and easy way of teaching that it makes me feel confident to try. Love watching you. Keep up the great work. Hi from Alberta Canada
I hope you enjoy sewing them ❤️
i love these and definately want to try it,using the interfacing is such a fab idea . thanks Rachel, only trouble is fitting all these new exciting projects in ......whilst finishing my old ones 🤣
I like the running stich/ back stitch combination too!
For newbies... I start with a back stitch, then do a needle full of running stitches. Then before I start the next needle full of running stitches, I do a back stitch... but for these tiny pieces, I'd do one at the beginning and end... for sure one in the middle. But there are no rules. Do what you think keeps your seam secure. 💖🌞🌵😷
I struggle to find good information on hand sewing some patchwork techniques. I have a vague memory of someone on the old Sewing Quarter channel saying that she had previously used lightweight interfacing for this or something similar. I always wanted to try. This is going to the top of my to do list.👍❤️
Yes I struggle to find videos on hand sewing too, that's why I decided to share what I've learnt with this and other hand piecing methods ❤️ I hope you enjoy the project
Tis done. Pattern printed, interfacing should be here by Friday, mine was all fusible. But I might try calico to get me started, coaster or mini wall art. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Lovely My Dear this Easter Sunday in the States……Liberty Fabric makes me Sing!
Hope you are having a wonderful easter
Thank you🎉 I’ve been looking for videos showing FPP by hand. You must have read my mind😂
I did ❤️
Yes thank you for this video 🥰🥰
What a great video Rachel. I had not heard of hand pieced FPP and can't wait to try it. Happy Easter x
Thank you, I love watching your videos. I am hand sewing hexagons paper piece for a quilt at the moment.
Thanks for the video. Instead of interfacing I use light weight muslin. So satisfying! Hope you convert more folks to hand sewing FPP 😂
Thanks for the tip!
Do you have a specific muslin that you find works best? I want to try this technique but can’t stand the feel of interfacing haha
@@sarahgallegos4823 I use light weight muslin. Unbleached if the background color is dark, bleached if white. I suggest you get an eighth yard of each muslin weight and test to see which one you like best
@@sarahgallegos4823adding that I too dislike the feel of interfacing - especially for hand work.
@@sarahgallegos4823 wait… it looks like my initial response got sucked into the ether… I use light weight muslin. Bleached if my background is white, unbleached if not. But I think it a good idea to test light, medium, and heavy weights for yourself to see which one you like best
If you want to try putting stabilizer through your inkjet, I'd use freezer paper instead of 505. You can use the same sheet of freezer paper many, many times. (A lazer print will melt freezer paper and ruin your machine. Inkjets don't get hot.)
If a single layer of freezer paper with stabilizer is too thin and doesn't feed properly, iron on a second sheet. Freezer paper will bond to the paper side of another sheet of freezer paper. 💖🌞🌵😷
These are sweet. I love working on smaller pieces like this. Your material is gorgeous. Thank you. You have such nice way about you and your instructions.
I just love small patchwork, I don't know why.. must be a sucker for punishment 🤣 happy sewing xx
Using the interfacing is a great idea. You don't have to tear off paper.
Saves a job with removing the papers for sure!
Very easy to watch and follow. Very clear instructions. Definitely going to give this a try. Thank you Rachel.
You are very welcome ❤️
This little tutorial is really helpful. I’ve started my mini houses fpp by machine, but a friend of mine doesn’t use a sewing machine. This would be a great method for her to try. Thank you.
I am definitely going to do these beautiful houses ,I don’t know what paper to putRachel I’ve just got the house template and ordered a little more liberty im so excited to start my journey with hand sewing,if you do another blue bells design I would love to make one luv Teresa
Rachel how have I only just found your channel loved this tutorial . I’ve hit the subscribe button as I don’t want to miss any more of your sew with me tutorials. ❤️ xx
Thanks for joining the channel ❤️❤️
Beautiful I will try it thank you ❤ 11:35
I bought the pdf and so looking forward to cracking into these on my next day off #nurselife 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
I love these houses. I’ve done paper piecing before but had forgotten how to do it. 😮 Your instructions were excellent. ❤Thank you.❤
I ran my interfacing through the printer after lightly ironing it onto freezer paper. I also use a running/ back stitch combo.
Thats good to know! Was the ink okay?
@@stitchwithrachel it was. I made a video last week if you want to watch. I’ve had no problems at all
@rachelqstitches omg the same block too 🤣 what are the chances of that. I will have a watch of your channel
@@stitchwithrachel it was you who pointed me to that block. I just loved it but I just didn’t want to do it on the machine.
@@rachelqstitches 1:20
It makes logical sense that this can be done by hand, it just never dawned on me. I'll have to find a pattern to try this on.
Thank you another fab tutorial xx Happy Easter xx
You are very welcome, happy Easter, hope you've had a great weekend
Thank you so much this is fantastic you are amazing ❤
Love your tiny houses and your demonstration for making them. Thanks
Ah! Thanks so much for this, I’m always looking for more hand piecing to do during downtime at work!
Enjoy!
Thank You for teaching this, I’m going to try it😊
Hope you like it!
love the lesson ,thankyou
Thank you this was very good.
Thank you so much for this video!! I had been searching for a tutorial and am so glad you posted! X
You're so welcome!
Thank you I love the liberty houses and I'm having a go❤❤❤
Such cute little houses. Not sure if I would have the patience to hand sew them but yours are beautiful. xx
Fabulously clear instructions Rachel, can't wait to try it. 😊
Great tutorial thank you Rachel. I am inspired to try this 🙂
Lovely video. Beautiful little houses. Love your tutorial.❤️
definitely going to try this. thanks for the video!
You are welcome! Happy stitching
Great tutorial.. will definately give this way a try. Super tips.. thank you x❤
I've seen some people doing foundation paper piecing use wash away stabilizer. The only difference is since it washes away there's not as much bulk as there is in using interfacing.
But please tell me in a short if you notice a difference between the ones with interfacing and the ones with the paper removed.
I'm also interested if the one with interfacing is any more difficult to quilt (maybe do a test quilted block with half interfacing and half with the interfacing removed.) 💖🌞🌵😷
Yeah, that would be interesting to know, I think they would be very similar because the ones I'm doing with the papers are regular quilting cotton, and the liberty is much thinner, so about the same
Awesome video. So easy to understand - very clear. Thank you! Like this technique better than machine piecing💕
Glad it was helpful!
another very well explained tutoria.
Thanks a lot, dear Rachel🌷
edit: oh & I've got bad experiences with remaining/ transfered ink 😵💫
Oh no! What happened?
I love that paper where you get those little house papers? I love the small houses. Somehow, can we get them, please. Thank you so much. I like the hand stitch.😊
The actual pattern is from JitkaDesign on etsy, its linked in the video description. You download them and print at home ❤️
Hand atitching looks relaxing but I wondered if hands or fingers woukd get sore if one used regular cotton quilting fabric. Does anyone know? It reminds me of embroidery but you get the cutest house blocks. I like the idea of lightweight non-fusible interfacing..
I havent noticed that the thread affects my hands but the needle I use does. A thinner needle is easier to get through the fabric.
According to Inklingo's FAQ page... She's been using regular inkjet ink since 2013 with no problems... surely someone would have complained in all this time. You might check her UA-cam video comments. But I haven't heard if any complaints. 💖🌞🌵😷
I had looked into too and didn't hear any complaints either I just feel weary 🤣
@@stitchwithrachel after 10+ years, I'm pretty confident in Inklingo. The other reason I think this is reliable is the ink is on the seam line. I also remember hearing that the ink washes out over time... people were printing family photos directly on fabric and the images would fade over time with many washes. They even made solutions to set the ink, but that's when the image transfer sheets came on the market.
The other thing to remember is for this project, you aren't printing on the fabric like Inklingo suggests. You are printing on the interfacing.
After you scan in your template, you can adjust how dark the line prints. I use Microsoft Word and there's about 6 settings, including automatic. This does adjust the width of the lines a tiny, tiny amount. Drawing apps can make the lines thinner. So if you are worried about too much ink you can reduce it manually.
But you can always make a test piece (a mug rug or a trivet) and wash it a few times and see for yourself. If I was reluctant, I'd print all over the fabric (maybe one of those pretty French country designs) and see how it fades. 💖🌞🌵😷
Oh merci beaucoup Rachel 😘 c' est du rasterquick que tu utilises ?merci
Thank you for this and I know I’ll be trying this--can you show/do a video finishing this process-ie, taking the stabilizer off
The interfacing is left in place so you don't need to remove it ❤️
How can you make this larger?
I was wondering how one would sew fpp by and this explains it quite well. However, I don't understand why you are using sew-in interfacing. Is it because the interfacing is slightly see through? Or maybe paper can dull a needle? Thanks for the video!❤
I'm glad you found it useful, there are two main reasons for the interfacing instead of paper...
1. The paper would make the sewing hard on your hands and like you say, dull your needle
2. You have the remove papers by ripping them out and hand stitches won't provide enough perforation to make this job easy like the sewing machine does, it could lead to broken stitches.
I hope that helps ❤️
Rachel I’m struggling to get low volume Lorna lawn do you have any suggestions thanks luv Teresa
Hello, I generally don't purchase low volume lawn fabrics. Instead i mix it with regular weight quilting cotton, it will be more readily available and more affordable x
Your very patient, are you using liberty lawn or cotton ?
Hi Mandy, it's liberty lawn ❤️
do you plan on leaving the interfacing in? or will it rip out?
I'll be leaving it in. Since I've used Liberty tana lawn, it's still pretty thin but even with regular cotton I don't thinknit would make a huge difference to the overall thickness.
Hi what are the sizes
Me again, so do we not se the paper template if hand sewing? Assuming stabiliser replaces paper template? x
Yeah thats right, it would be too hard on your hands to sew through the paper so the interfacing replaces it ❤️
Thank you x
I understand your hesitation about the printer ink. It would speed things up considerably but it would be awful to have ink ruin all your hard work. Prehaps print off 1 sheet and tack on a piece of calico or old bed sheet (ie scrap) and wash it, prehaps by hand in a bowl so you can see the ink move. That should give a good indication of what the ink would do to the fabric.
Oooh thats a very good idea!!
Did I miss an update on your temperature quilt? (Remember you start this quilt on your channel to keep you accountable. So I'm holding you to this.) 💖🌞🌵😷
It's still moving along 😃 I will aim to share an update in a couple of weeks
@@stitchwithrachel, that's what you said when you showed your sister's update... Which is lovely. 💖🌞🌵😷
Hi Rachel, thanks for the tutorial! I already did try it, before you posted this video. You said you didnt find a video, I filmed my process in german: ua-cam.com/video/Og6RP7w5DVg/v-deo.html
I did try the version, where you dont stitch in the paper, that works great, too! But i will try your´s - Sounds easier to stitch!
