    Wishing I was a fly on your wall so I could watch every time you smock and sew. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all you share. You have beautiful family too.

      one day I want to do live videos in my sewing room, but that'll be once I have more sanity in my life 😂 thanks!

    Hi Sarah! I use DMC 5 for crochet baby Booties, DMC 8 for making Bobbin Lace and for make soles , DMC 12 for Bobbin Lace, smocking, DMC 16 for Bobbin Laces and Brazilian Embroidery. DMC is my favorite threads.

    Thank you so much! I agree with the one who said they’d like to be a fly on your wall. It’s been my dream so long to get done what you get done. I just watch videos and watch more and you guessed it...watch more. Wow! Where does on start with so much information.? Than you again fe you’re videos. I’m thankful I found you. You amaze me with all you have going, still have time for sewing/smocking videoing and everything else you do. ( I never did remember the links I was asking about and now I can’t find the video we last chatted in🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂). Would love step by step tutorial. I’m talking hold my hand tutorials 🤪

    The perle cotton I can get up here in Canada is Balls for 8 and 12 and skein for 5. Thanks so much for these videos Sarah! It's really helped me to know the full difference between these fibres.

    the one thing I don't like about the ball, it's a misery to find the end to get it off the ball

    Can pearl cotton be used in picture smocking?

  • @Leannchops
    @Leannchops 3 роки тому

    Hello Sarah, would you choose perle cotton over floche for smocking? I've only ever used embroidery floss before.

    • @sarahclassicsewing

      Good question, kinda depends on my mood and the fabric lol. They're both wonderful choices

      @@sarahclassicsewing I live in New Zealand, and when I look for them, lots of places seem to sell perle cotton reasonably cheaply, but no-one seems to sell the floche, unless they are sourcing it overseas- someone had it for sale for $45NZD a hank!

    • @sarahclassicsewing
      @sarahclassicsewing  3 роки тому

      Yeah I sell it in braids to help get more colors for less cost. There's two issues with getting floche, it's limited quanities from France, and then it's a huge 10 gram hank. So that'll last most folks for years, so much much to use, making it more costly to buy a hank.

      @@sarahclassicsewing It's a great idea. I put some in my cart on your online store and it was $29 shipping. Which is not your fault at all, but I will have to stick to what I can get locally unfortunately. :)

      @@Leannchops over $200 usd qualifies for free international shipping, just fyi. No worries either way, just letting you know. Pearl cotton is a great option to smock with too.
