The value of seeing thread colors at a glance in that simple box is way more valuable than that tangled, flimsy bobbin tree you would have to flip over and fight with every time lol
I think the bobbin tree is for smaller bobbins, like the clear ones for domestic machines. I have it and I can see my thread, it might be because the bobbins are clear lol but they hold really well and I don't have threads popping out everywhere. I got a bobbin holder for my industrial that's magnetized from someone who watches my channel and then someone told me to put the thread through one of the holes in the top and it actually worked and all of my thread has stopped running away from me lol. Thanks for trying all this out so we don't have to lol
The bobbin holder thingy is a cool idea, but how do you keep dust off them? Even if your house is spotless, thread attracts dust like it's not even funny. So then you need a case/cover the bobbin holder thingy too?
I was thinking about that too. I was able to wash off mine, but they were really fresh. I wonder what will happen with markings that are older and already dry on the fabric
I vote to keep your cutting mat. A) You've been through so much together. B)This assumes that it's still working as a cutting mat. Never trust an artist who has a spotless studio - means they're more talk than action. Or that their Obsessive Compulsive. Either way, not fun. One trick that quilters use is glue sticks. I'm assuming they smear the back of the fashion fabric. Haven't tried it yet because I don't do piecing, but it seems to work. Without the smell and air particulates. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
I'm a quilter. There are glue sticks especially for fabric. But you don't use them for large parts, rather for applique or small parts. out can't glue whole quilt layers with those sticks. 🙋🏼♀️
For quilting patterns I wouldn't recommend the erasable pens. Who knows what will happen if the fabrics are washed or ironed. Also not on delicate fabrics because they might show on the other side. Have heard too many complaints about pens like these. But I'm sure there are many good uses for them.
Thank you for these videos, very helpful! I use the water erasable pen to make guidelines for counted cross stitch. Works beautifully; I've kept it on for a month and had no trouble erasing it (dab it with a wet towel).
I use a rubber band to attach bobbins to the main thread reel. My mumuses a silicone doughnut-shaped thing to hold bobbins. You can easily see and it holds full bobbins but stops them unravelling.
Never spray that adhesive glue anywhere near your machine. There are very scary images of sewing machines that were ruined by spraying that adhesive within several feet of the machine. That glue is meant to be used outside on cardboard. Glue sprays a lot further than you would expect. Cleaning up that slightly sticky glue off your sewing area for months is a pain. I still love aerosol basting glue. Also do not substitute gorilla glue spray for the basting glue! I also love Elmer's glus sticks or white liquid glue for basing tiny areas. I hope this helps someone. 💖💖💖
I use the 505 adhesive when making bras. Getting two layers of slippery fabric (especially when your pieces are small) is a nightmare that'll make you want to stab something with your sewing scissors, but the 505 fixes the problem! The adhesive does come out after wash or two, so I haven't had an issue with permanent staining.
I much prefer clear boxes for bobbins, easier to see what's on them and they're contained. I know a wee trick for stopping the thread unravelling, too! I'll try to find a tutorial for it because I don't know what it's actually called, I just learned it when I was playing with kumihimo braiding because it's how you stop the bobbins running away with your thread. I use it on all my thread reels now 👍 I really really want to love the Chaco markers, but either they blurt chalk out unevenly or they need lots of force to use, or both. I use a chalk pencil now, it's like an ordinary mechanical pencil except for chalk. I've got a chunky one and a very fine one (0.9mm!), and I love them 💜 Also, the blue Chaco stained a white fabric I used it on, I was very sad 🥺 And finally, I got my sticker! Thank you! Now to decide where to put it, and whether to explain it to my husband or just enjoy his confusion 😂
0:08 Ok, I have to know! From 8 seconds, in the lower lefthand side of the screen, there’s what looks like a plastic plant with a white-spotted red thing at the top? What is it?! Like, what is the plant (from a movie, tv show?) and what is the object (a lamp, a toy, an ornament?)?
If you want to keep your bobbins from unravelling, just pull strongly on the end of the thread, it will slide inside the threads and keep put. Trust me, it works! ;-)
Yes, a table top thread cutter is useful as a quilter. But heck no at that price - and so easily tipped over. It's not a difficult DIY at all. I suspect "dead" rotary cutter blades would be sufficiently sharp for the purpose.
I have that exact chalk marker, and I don't need to press at all to make it work. Maybe you got a bad one? or maybe they changed the way they make them 🤷♀
Nobody does it / Everybody does it: So annoying: Why is it that the demonstrator keeps on moving/shaking/twisting the product being shown. Is it impossible to hold it still so we can take a photo ????????????????????????????

That's such a good idea! I will get some magnets now hahaha
I always enjoy these Keep or Yeet videos!
Thank you!!!

So true.... Fix one problem to create a new one... oof!
Just a warning for the air/water soluble pens, If you iron over the markings it can set the markings and they wont fade even with washing.
I was thinking about that too. I was able to wash off mine, but they were really fresh. I wonder what will happen with markings that are older and already dry on the fabric
I am so glad you got the package!
Love your videos! They always make me smile
You are too sweet :D
Oh goodie! It's my favorite show!
ouiiiii!
A bacon stuffy, so cute! ❤ Love the bees, too!
The best!

Interesting. I think I will have to go deeper in the stress testing of those pens hehehe

oh cool! nice to know the stains won't be there forever :D
Another fantastic review - unfortunately, it seemed like a lot of "yeets" this time around! LOL!
hahahahha Thanks!

Ooooh I need to check that out
It's the carnivorous plant from the Super Mario video game. It's a lamp that Steve gave me for Christmas hehehe
@@Seamstressed I can't find a sensible tutorial for it, so I'll try and take some pictures and pop it on the Discord
Thanks for all the reviews, it was useful and funny, as always. And OMG THE BEES 😍😍
Yes, I think Nani should make a bee costume next 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝
You are too sweet :D
OOOOHHHH!!
27.00 EUR for that last gadget?! Yeet into the sun
YES!!
oooh I might need to try that spray some time! I haaaate baste stitching so much. Thank you for testing it for us!
Thank you! you are the best! :D

Whoa! Thank you! Why haven't I thought of that before haha
I use frixion pen. It disappears when you iron it. Downside is when you need to keep some markings but need to press seams open.
I have the cheap China knock-offs and I love them. And keeping marks on is indeed a downside
That was fun and informative 😀💗🐖lol
Thank you!!!
I have the clover water erasable pen, its nice but youre right, its very dry and runs out of ink fast.
that's annoying :(
I noticed!!!! Ha. And i will not tell
I'm curious now. What did you notice? Do we have to watch the whole video again? 😅
tan tan taaaaaaan
the thread cuter seems so useless, I use tiny fabric scissors instead.
true!
I love basting spray!
I think the spray and I will be very good friends
i love love love your videos: informative AND hilarious!! XD
Thank you so much! You are too kind

What's with me getting bad batches of almost everything people like to use? hahahaha
Is there still time to send pom poms?
Yes! The deadline is the end of May, so you're good 👍
Yip! they need to be here end of May or latest first week in June :D
Wait - did you find your rings?? 😃
nooooo!! :( :( :(
Those are still the decoys
I am sad and lost all hope of finding them lol

Yesn't.
