    As always…your refreshingly happy personality wins the day! I loved the part when you received the “Hold on it’s the guitar teacher” text/call…made me laugh when you think out loud about losing your train of thought!😊 This is why you are truly loved by your Viewers. You are so “real” and relaxed. When I see a new Pin Cut Sew video…I grab a cup of coffee or tea, bagel & know my mood will be uplifted as I tune in. ❤

    I MUST make these elves for the little people in life. I am well past 70 years, and I was given the original elf on the shelf in the 50s. I always found the face a little creepy (and maybe it's been changed by now) but I still have that original. I am anxious to make these because they are so much sweeter. Thank you.

    Thank you, peachy peach. Lots of helpful ideas. I love elves and have lots my grandmother made in the 1950s which I adore. I'm not sure why you'd make your elf on the shelf do naughty things when you have little kids. I just don't get it. I can see it being funny with your teens. Our elves are all sweet and can be touched and played with. 🥰

    I am currently watching on my TV but had to stop and comment. In the video where you are showing starter and end pieces, and how not to get your materials sucked down into your machine. I was piecing these two very small pieces together and it sucked down into the hole in my needle plate AND bent it! 😮 I've got another one on order should be here Friday, hopefully that takes care of it or I'll be making a trip to the repair shop. I picked up some machine oil today, figured I'd give her a good cleaning and oil while we waited. 😢 It will be okay, it will be okay, it will be okay. I had just gotten my sewing stuff semi situated and been able to use my newish machine. Found you on UA-cam and your videos have encouraged me to try wonky quilts or at least blocks. So far I've made 6 Mason Jar Cozy for the 4th of July. ❤

    I never had trouble with my machine sucking my fabric in with my original Singer machine because I had a single hole throat plate. Evidently sewing machine companies thinks that foot plate was not worth making for newer machines, because my new Pfaff does not offer one. I miss it terribly. Thanks for the tip!!

      @SharonRStudio…check out Harbor Freight if they are in your area. I found a set of 4, I think, clamps for less than any at fabric/hobby stores. There were a couple different angles and tips and I really like them. There are several videos on YT with ideas for hobby/sewing items from HF.

    Not a fan of Elve on a shelf. But your doll is super cute.

She has a friend who sends the elf on a spa holiday mid December!! 🤣😂, but I may just need to make one for me! ❤

    Anytime of year is a good time to work on seasonal quilts. Let's face it, sometimes it takes a while to find just the right project & then the time to complete it may not work 2 weeks before the Holiday.......Yep, that's the way it works sometimes.

    Hi Nicole, I really enjoyed watching your video on making dolls or sewing small things. For years I made Barbie and Ken clothes for my niece and then I started making them to sell in a store I had a big newspaper ad done in the Palm Beach Post years ago I sold quite a few until the store moved, I miss it to some degree, my hobby now is Quilts and Bible reading/study.

    I was just thinking last night that I need to get started on making a doll for my daughter's birthday. Then I got to thinking how difficult all the tiny seams on the clothes would be and I got overwhelmed by the idea. Then you uploaded this video this morning! Haha
    Also, I recently heard someone call leaders and enders thread bunnies. I thought that was just the cutest name! Thank you for making wonderful videos! I look forward to watching each one!
