Big thanks to @Wanda6308 for asking such a great question! 😊 I wanted to share my stitch settings here so everyone can benefit: Stitch width: 9.0 Stitch length: 20 Stitch density: Tested between 0.1 (more dense) and 0.4 (less dense) For reference, I used the Pfaff Performance ICON sewing machine. Quick tip: Test these settings on a scrap piece first to see how they work with your fabric and thread-sometimes those little tweaks can make all the difference! But honestly, going with the flow and experimenting is also so freeing-it’s all part of the fun! And one thing you must use: a stabilizer-it really helps. 🧵✨ If you’re feeling extra creative, why not try sewing with pompom trim? It’s a playful addition to any project, and it really helps us exercise our emotions and how we react to it! I’d love to see what you make with it! 🎀 ua-cam.com/video/K0K5jbIh7Zw/v-deo.html What machine do you use for your sewing projects? Or do you have a favorite tip for perfecting satin stitches? I’d love to hear from you in the comments! Feel free to share your results if you give this a try!
Hi Paula, it is so good to have you here! thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the tutorial-it truly means a lot to hear that. 😊 That red and green dot fabric is such a favorite of mine too! I used up some scraps I had on hand, but guess what? You’re in luck-I did a little digging and found an online store that might still have it in stock. Here’s the link: www.quiltandsewatgoldenthreads.com/shop/c/p/22304-13-Red-Dot-Green-Dash-x28762215.htm I hope it brings your project as much joy as it brought to mine! Happy sewing, and if you have any other questions-or if you’d like to share your creations-you can always reach me at letsconnect@letscutthescrap.com. I’d absolutely love to see what you make!
Hello, I am a new subscriber from Michigan. this is so cute. what size was your stitch length and width please ? I believe I have that stitch design but I want it to come out like yours.
Hello! Welcome to the Let's Cut The Scrap channel, and thank you for subscribing all the way from Michigan! 😊 It’s so good to have you here-I’m thrilled you found the project cute; that means so much to me! For the stitch settings, I used: stitch width 9.0, stitch length 20, and stitch density tested between 0.1 (more dense) and 0.4 (less dense). For reference, I was working on the Pfaff Performance ICON sewing machine. I’m actually thinking of recording a video soon, demonstrating this same satin stitch on different sewing machines. What machine are you using? Quick tip: I recommend testing these settings on a scrap piece first to see how they work with your fabric and thread-those little tweaks can make all the difference! But honestly, going with the flow and experimenting is also so freeing-it’s all part of the fun! One thing you must use: a stabilizer-it really helps. 🧵✨ I’d absolutely love to see how your project turns out-feel free to share it if you give it a try!
@@LetsCutTheScrap thank you so much for your response. my sewing machine is a Brother SQ9185 . I look forward to giving this a try. I would love to share it when finished. I will look for your site to see where to post it. have a wonderful day my new friend
@@Wanda6308 Thank you so much for sharing, my new friend! 😊 I looked up the Brother SQ9185 manual online and noticed that stitches #23, 24, 25, 28, and 87 might mimic the effect really well. A dense zigzag stitch could also do the trick! Since we’re not using any binding, it’s a good idea to go for a satin stitch that completely covers the edge for a clean finish. Oh, and here’s a fun idea-you can take it a step further by changing the direction of the stitch and trimming it to shape! I’ll create a video soon so we can bounce around more ideas together-this is so much fun! 🎥✨ I also did some quick research and saw that your machine (Brother SQ9185) allows a stitch width of up to 7 and a stitch length (density) up to 1.0, with 0.1 to 0.4 being the sweet spot for denser satin stitches. That gives you plenty of room to experiment and play with this technique! I can’t wait to see what you create! Feel free to share your finished project here in the comments, send me a picture at letsconnect@letscutthescrap.com, or tag me on IG or Facebook @letscutthescrap. Have a wonderful day and happy sewing! 🧵✨

I just ran across your tutorial. Great diy. Do you know who/what/where you got the red and green dot fabric??
