Unfortunately not. Facebook decided that I was not a real person and suspended my account so all templates were lost. Other attempts to host the templates online have also turned up useless so you'll have to make your own.
And for future reference, not all of us use Facebook so putting the templates as an attachment to your video would be very helpful. These are really cute. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much!! I bought this machine off craigslist for $20 from the son of the lady who bought it knew. She passed away and he didn't want the machine. It's a 1946 Singer 15-91 in the original mahogany cabinet. It came with the original owners manual and sales receipt. No attachments but I've since bought those at an estate sale for 50cents for a box full of them. If you sew and ever get the chance to own a vintage Singer, DO IT! You won't regret it! They are a dream to sew on!
I have a "Free" treadle sewing machine. I just need to find a place to get it fixed up. Had it for about 10 years now. Found it at a garage sale. It was the seller's Grandmother's and had been in a attic for years. They even through in a hand sewing rocker. A very small rocker with no arms. It had belonged to the same woman and they wanted me to have it with the sewing machine but I didn't have enough money for both so they gave it to me.
Thanks! These old Singers are a dream to sew on! One of these days I'd like to get a Singer treadle and learn to sew on it. I'd SO much rather sew on these than the new machines. Complete night and day difference!
I learnt to sew on a treadle when I was a child and always loved them would love to have one now but they are few and far between here in England but one day it would be nice but I do have the machine you use in your videos and love it xx
My mom had a Singer, purchased to make baby clothes back in the 1930’s. It was bought on installments, someone would come around and collect the payment. Being the depression, it was hard to make the payments. So the man collecting, let my mom just pay what she could, because he could see she needed the machine, and he knew it would sit in a warehouse somewhere with dozens of other sewing machines. I learned to sew on that machine, and my sister inherited it, then it went to her granddaughter. It was a very good machine. Makes me wonder if it’s still somewhere in our family?
It's never too early to start work on ornaments!! I make them all throughout the year that way I can concentrate on other things during the season. ;-)
There are two templates that I uploaded to a random image hosting site since FB won't let you view them. freeimagehosting dotnet slash s3y11 and freeimagehosting dotnet slash oaroe ...you'll have to remove the dot and slash and put in the appropriate symbols since YT doesn't allow links in comments. No guarantees they are the right size or print off at the right size.
I enjoyed it, he is clear, concise, and easy to understand. His voice is pleasant, and he tells you what you need to know, shows you how, without talking too much. I have a lot of material to try for this. Thanks
I agree. I have seen other christmas craft videos and the ladies talk too much gibberish. A mans hands seem to move more clearer too. Direct instructions. Like :D
How refreshing to see a male sewing with a wonderfully antique machine. My son taught himself how to sew (Marine and Army soldier) because he didn't enjoy all the partying when off duty. When he was killed awhile back, my old sewing machine was in the trunk of his car and he had been making pajamas for his son. Your video is very easy to follow and very creative. I'll have to make some of these. Thank You
I just tried to figure out what to do with all of my fabric along with what I'm going to make for my little sister. We exchange handmade Christmas ornaments each year. This is WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much.
I am so envious of your vintage Singer Sewing Machine. I learned on one in elementary school and it is still the best machine I have ever used. Oh I know there are fancier ones with all kinds of bells and whistles but the simple Singers always work and there are not so many things to break and go wrong. I am at the same time so happy that you have this one and I wish you many happy hours using it.
I noticed it also......including the cabinet. I purchased one of these cabinets at the Goodwill for $49.00 a few months ago, used Kramer's Antique Restorer on it and it looks stunning. The price included the original seat that you can store things in, and it fits under the cabinet. All I need now is an original Coats and Clark spool cabinet and my life will be complete! I do have an antique Singer sewing machine, it was made into a lamp, but it looks great. I snagged a Singer zig zag sewing machine, all metal, extremely heavy, made in Italy at a thrift store also. Haven't used it yet.....I now have 3 machines.
Great pattern. I am a quilter. I made ornaments using the fabric from the quilts I made over the years. Each person received an ornament using their fabric. I still had it in my stash!!!!
Wow....These were amazingly easy!!! My 8, 10, 12 & 14 year old each made one today too! Thank you for posting such a fun project. We will be making them for gifts this year.
Love your star ornament. I shared it with my sewing group. We will be making them next week. Thanks for including the templates link. I like how you talk your way thru each step as you sew.
So love the things you make and everything is easy to understand. Very Talented guy. Great to see a guy doing this sort of thing Thanks for sharing with us... Look forward to your other wonderful tutorials..
These are darling.Somewhat primitive folkart and yet traditional in colors.Also love your machine.I have one similiar minus the cabinet.It was my mothers.When I had it reconditioned,the gentleman who worked on it,told me they're the cadillac of Singer machines.
It's a type of knot that hand quilters use. All you do is hold the end of the thread near the eye of the needle, wrap the thread 3 times around the shaft of the needle (going towards the point), hold those wraps between your fingers and pull the needle and thread through. Ties the knot for you! There's videos here on YT that show how it's done if you search hand quilting videos.
I enjoyed watching this tutorial,even though I will not be able to make any as I am useless at sewing,and have no machine,I am almost tempted to have a go using hot glue,as they are very pretty,and look so effective ,sort of vintage style.Thanks for a lovely tutorial.
These are beautiful. I am a very beginner when it comes to sewing but with your video I just might be able to pull this off. I know I sure want to try, I love these. Thank you for sharing this!
I so enjoy all your tutorials. They are simply explained.. continue the good work..u are bless! I am a crafter myself, but still learn everyday from u wonderful ppl out there...
Just found your ornament tutorials... love them! Very clear instructions... I also love the old Singer you are using for sewing.. I also have one!! I really don't like all the new fangled machines there are out there today... my age might have a little to do with it... 69 and holding... grew up with a Mom who did public sewing... saw lots of machines in my day... Thanks again for the great tutorials...
1. LOVE your machine. I sew on an old, industrial type machine, but love yours. 2. Thanks for the tut. I will be making these for all of my nieces this year for Christmas. Very cute!! 3. Thanks for the link to the templates. :)
ahh! I have some really cool gold (ish) with grapes clusters of all things, Christmas fabric looks like could be hoffman!? And this girl is breaking up her stash with a few of these, I think I can make at least 25, will put them in cards for my Christmas cards this year! Thank you so much mr. crouton crackerjacks for making this video, I truly love your cooking and crafts videos! you, are so talented! Thanks!!! Jill
Love this star ornament! I definitely plan on making some as Christmas gifts! Thanks so much for your clear, easy to follow instructions. Homemade ornaments are such a nice treasure to pass down.
I love my old Singers and the love affair began when my siblings had no desire to take my Mom’s old 66 treadle machine. So, I paid a king’s ransom to have it moved over 400 miles to my house. Mom loved that machine and I just couldn’t see it in a landfill. I cleaned it up, oiled it and fell madly in love with the old back clamp Singer. I learned real fast why mom loved it so. The only problem is it started an addiction in me. I love them all, you keep them clean and oiled and they sew with fearless abandon, perfect stitches. No machine made today will last as long or perform as well as these old girls.
Looks like fun, kind of. Have to show it to my wife. She makes Christmas Trees. Fixed the cranberries and the cookie dough dessert for Thanksgiving, both were really good. I DO cook, lol.
what a great way to learn you points on star quilting... well explained beautiful stars Thank you I wish you were my sewing teacher.. very well explained
Wow, many thanks! This is Z's Mom. I will be sharing this tutorial with my Mission Stitchers group to make for our Christmas Craft Sale. We are raising $ to pay for shipping a suitcase full of dresses we made to girls in Rwanda.
Merci beaucoup! These are adorable. I'm starting to make my first one right now. It is also my first attempt at patchwork but thanks to your excellent tutorial I am confident I should be able to manage it.
Mike drop....having the template open so you can see your fabric placing....omg that makes so much sense and I can use the same idea for my Memory Bears etc....thankyou soooooo much for the tutorial and the great tip!
im doing textiles for my GCSE at school and atm our project is patch work...i was so confused on how to do it and i got stuck with how to draw it and stuff and the measurments. but after seeing this video you have helped me alot and i have made a star myself fro watching his so thank you so much!
i love the machine and would love to hear its story or at least have tour! im going to have to watch this twice because I am so entranced by the machine Im missing the instructions. You are one amazing guy! Your videos are some of the very best Ive seen and by far my favorites. You teach just right, you dont treat us like we're stupid but give enough detail that I dont get lost, which happens to me more often then Id like to admit :)
These are so great! I want to make several, one for every member of my family including my new grandson : ). The hubs has gotten me a lot of sewing stuff, notions, fabric...real cheap from a local weekend flea market so these types of projects give me a chance to use up some of the smaller batches of notions. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern too. I have both the small & lg wacky web templates, (they look like kites, from Missouri Star Quilt co.) which make the star points perfectly but I needed the full star for the back of the small stars. I'm going to try to use the larger one to make a cute tree topper. I have made several other super cute things from your other tutorials too. Each has come out great thanks to your awesome teaching style & thorough instructions. Thanks so much : )
nicely done videos. You are great at explaining the process without a lot of unnecessary filler words. You give ideas on how to be resourceful. Thoroughly enjoy your tutorials.
Adorable I watched a tutorial you made before this and I really enjoy your lessons, you make it seem so easy. I am teaching my 7 & 9 year old granddaughters to machine quilt and sew and I was looking for items we can make next week while they stay for a couple of days, so thank you so much for your inspiration and talent.
Great tutorial!! Knowing me, I would sew the star points together, then lay on a piece of backing material...sew, then trim the backing...I tend to have "slipping" issues!! LOL I love your sewing machine, and thought it was really nice to see someone else uses pieces of tape to mark their seams!!! LOL Found you on FB today, and I love it!! Thank you!
That's so beautiful. Thank you for this. I'm going to show this to my church seeing group. Hopefully we'll have some hanging in our church for Christmas.
Just need to invest in a ball point bodkin, they have a round tip on turning stick, usually made of metal, makes turning easy and smoothing out the seams without tearing.
Since the templates are no longer avail at FB nor has any updated link appeared, I paused video at 38 seconds then 42 seconds to trace both templates. By placing tissue paper on my MAC desktop screen I outlined drawing (as he suggested). The Star came out great as did the single section of star template. If you're satisfied with the star, place the single section template inside it to see if it lines up for size. If not you have the star to make that single section template for project. Its a hack but works.
PSI I love your old sewing machine! Modern sewing machines cannot even compare. The old ones were made to last beyond a lifetime. They are workhorses. Where did yours?
Okay, I have to say I have been coveting this ornament since I saw Beth's. I didn't know who had made them...until now. These are so awesome and would be absolutely perfect for my tree. Is it too early to start my ornaments for this years Christmas?!? ;). I'm gonna make a mess load! Your sewing machine...beautiful! Even if I can only see a smidgen if it. :). TFS!
I would love for you to do more of this kind of video-type things. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the recipes but I an only take so much cooking before I turn in to the Good Year Blimp!

I just LOVE these DARLING ornaments, and if that is an heirloom sewing machine you are quite blessed, it's GORGEOUS. As I understand it, FB requires a PERSON NAME, so you could create a page with either your name, or a fictitious one in order to share your templates. Thank you VERY much for sharing your talent!! Blessings...
Wow - wish I'd found you sooner - love all of your how to videos - not too chatty, clear instructions, no bouncing camera shots - when you have music, it's not cheesy...how much more can I gush? I'm going to do a couple of these ornaments, but I've got you marked for next year! Going to head over to your FB page as well - thanks for posting templates! Super job. :)
hey i did it ..man its hard by hand did it slightly diff but it looks ok (made own template) i was thinking of sewing it on a hat or something cause its a bit small anyhoo ty for the idea
I received a patchwork star ornament last year from a friend. I loved it instantly. I decided to make 12 for a Christmas ornament exchange party that I attend annually. All ornaments have to be handmade-no store bought. I found a pattern for it, but a demo is very helpful. You are the only one that I found on UA-cam that has created a video for this ornament. Thank you! I appreciate the great idea of making a template rather than cutting out a triangle to trace around. What stitch do you use to close the star after it is stuffed?
Is there a way to get your templates? It said it was expired. LOVE this project!
Unfortunately not. Facebook decided that I was not a real person and suspended my account so all templates were lost. Other attempts to host the templates online have also turned up useless so you'll have to make your own.
@@croutoncrackerjacks Thank you. This was a great Xmas craft and you are very clear in your presentation.
What measurements are the templates?
And for future reference, not all of us use Facebook so putting the templates as an attachment to your video would be very helpful. These are really cute. Thanks for the info.
please attach template somehow to this video.
Could have been a fun project
Thank you so much!! I bought this machine off craigslist for $20 from the son of the lady who bought it knew. She passed away and he didn't want the machine. It's a 1946 Singer 15-91 in the original mahogany cabinet. It came with the original owners manual and sales receipt.

They are a dream to sew on!
I just commented on your machine in another video of yours. It's priceless.
Do you know the women's name? A tradition is to name the machine after the original owner. Also, I think you can look up the machine's birthday date!
I have a "Free" treadle sewing machine. I just need to find a place to get it fixed up. Had it for about 10 years now. Found it at a garage sale.

I have a antique Singer Treadill sewing machine in sold oak cabinet and drawers it was my aunts Mothers look new I'm very proud to have it
Thanks! I love my old Singers. This one is a 1946 15-91. My other is a 1954 15-91. Can't beat a $20 craigslist sewing machine!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Just love the sound of your sewing machine …. Simplicity at its finest. Would love to own one too.
I am so envious of your vintage Singer Sewing Machine. I learned on one in elementary school and it is still the best machine I have ever used.

You are so smart picking patchwork fabric. This way you know they work well together. Thanks for the tutorial.

They are fairly quick. I did 8 in about an hour and it seems like if you do a lot at once, they go SO much quicker than if you did each individually.
I enjoyed watching this tutorial,even though I will not be able to make any as I am useless at sewing,and have no machine,I am almost tempted to have a go using hot glue,as they are very pretty,and look so effective ,sort of vintage style.Thanks for a lovely tutorial.

I love the old machine! I have a 1926 Singer that needs a belt but other than that it works great.
The ornaments turned out really cute!
I so enjoy all your tutorials. They are simply explained.. continue the good work..u are bless! I am a crafter myself, but still learn everyday from u wonderful ppl out there...

I hope you can get the mojo! They are fun little things and I suspect you'd like getting away to your machine. It's a sort of stress reliever.
Thanks for the instructions. I've made 9 of these in varying sizes for my yearly ornament for my family.
ahh! I have some really cool gold (ish) with grapes clusters of all things, Christmas fabric looks like could be hoffman!? And this girl is breaking up her stash with a few of these, I think I can make at least 25, will put them in cards for my Christmas cards this year!

Glad they turned out well for you! I need to make me another pan of the cookie dough brownies. Been having a craving for them, LOL!!
Looks like fun, kind of. Have to show it to my wife. She makes Christmas Trees. Fixed the cranberries and the cookie dough dessert for Thanksgiving, both were really good. I DO cook, lol.
what a great way to learn you points on star quilting... well explained beautiful stars Thank you I wish you were my sewing teacher.. very well explained
Beautiful sewing machine. And what a great idea to buy one fabric w patchwork for matching colors.
Wow, many thanks! This is Z's Mom. I will be sharing this tutorial with my Mission Stitchers group to make for our Christmas Craft Sale. We are raising $ to pay for shipping a suitcase full of dresses we made to girls in Rwanda.
These are adorable! Beth sent me over to see - I love them! And what a beautiful sewing machine - such a treasure! Thanks!
Merci beaucoup! These are adorable. I'm starting to make my first one right now. It is also my first attempt at patchwork but thanks to your excellent tutorial I am confident I should be able to manage it.
Mike drop....having the template open so you can see your fabric placing....omg that makes so much sense and I can use the same idea for my Memory Bears etc....thankyou soooooo much for the tutorial and the great tip!
im doing textiles for my GCSE at school and atm our project is patch work...i was so confused on how to do it and i got stuck with how to draw it and stuff and the measurments. but after seeing this video you have helped me alot and i have made a star myself fro watching his so thank you so much!
OMG !! you are sewing on a tredle !!! you are marvelous....
Thanks but not a treadle. It's an electric Singer 15-91.
There is a link to the templates in the video description (click 'show more').
What great ideas. Would love to have the patterns for them.
Who can I contact to receive instructions for making. What a great idea for the holidays!
Wow!! You have some impressive sewing skills!! Those are terribly cute, and I love your sewing machine!
Great tutorial, well done! I look forward to trying these.
How did it work out?
i love the machine and would love to hear its story or at least have tour! im going to have to watch this twice because I am so entranced by the machine Im missing the instructions. You are one amazing guy! Your videos are some of the very best Ive seen and by far my favorites. You teach just right, you dont treat us like we're stupid but give enough detail that I dont get lost, which happens to me more often then Id like to admit :)
These are so great! I want to make several, one for every member of my family including my new grandson : ). The hubs has gotten me a lot of sewing stuff, notions, fabric...real cheap from a local weekend flea market so these types of projects give me a chance to use up some of the smaller batches of notions. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern too. I have both the small & lg wacky web templates, (they look like kites, from Missouri Star Quilt co.) which make the star points perfectly but I needed the full star for the back of the small stars. I'm going to try to use the larger one to make a cute tree topper. I have made several other super cute things from your other tutorials too. Each has come out great thanks to your awesome teaching style & thorough instructions. Thanks so much : )
Kim Ramirez You're very welcome. Glad you're enjoying the tutorials!
nicely done videos. You are great at explaining the process without a lot of unnecessary filler words. You give ideas on how to be resourceful. Thoroughly enjoy your tutorials.
Dennis M Thank you!
I have 2 old Singers that I love. By hand, they take quite a bit longer.
I love your stars, I also love your sewing machine
You're welcome! Glad I could be of some help!
Adorable I watched a tutorial you made before this and I really enjoy your lessons, you make it seem so easy. I am teaching my 7 & 9 year old granddaughters to machine quilt and sew and I was looking for items we can make next week while they stay for a couple of days, so thank you so much for your inspiration and talent.
I would really recommend that the seams be ironed as you go. It makes a huge difference in the final appearance. Thanks for the video.
Great tutorial!! Knowing me, I would sew the star points together, then lay on a piece of backing material...sew, then trim the backing...I tend to have "slipping" issues!! LOL I love your sewing machine, and thought it was really nice to see someone else uses pieces of tape to mark their seams!!! LOL Found you on FB today, and I love it!! Thank you!
Your fabric is really pretty!
That's so beautiful. Thank you for this. I'm going to show this to my church seeing group. Hopefully we'll have some hanging in our church for Christmas.
Luv the machine,very nice of you to share this, i will look for you on fb.good job!
Just need to invest in a ball point bodkin, they have a round tip on turning stick, usually made of metal, makes turning easy and smoothing out the seams without tearing.
That stars ornaments are cute and real nice for giving, Thank you Blessings
Totally enjoyed watching your video, they are so easy, Thank You so much.
so nice to listen and watch a man creativnes
Thank you for sharing. These are going to be loads of fun! I increased the template size to 130% and I think that will be perfect!
Since the templates are no longer avail at FB nor has any updated link appeared, I paused video at 38 seconds then 42 seconds to trace both templates. By placing tissue paper on my MAC desktop screen I outlined drawing (as he suggested). The Star came out great as did the single section of star template. If you're satisfied with the star, place the single section template inside it to see if it lines up for size. If not you have the star to make that single section template for project. Its a hack but works.
PSI I love your old sewing machine! Modern sewing machines cannot even compare. The old ones were made to last beyond a lifetime. They are workhorses. Where did yours?
Try the long sides at 1.5" and the short sides at 1"
RIGHT SIDE OUT...yes it drives me nuts...too bad you lost your page with all your stuff...love it Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. You were very easy to follow and understand. I'm going to purchase some Christmas fabric ASAP!
Okay, I have to say I have been coveting this ornament since I saw Beth's. I didn't know who had made them...until now. These are so awesome and would be absolutely perfect for my tree. Is it too early to start my ornaments for this years Christmas?!? ;). I'm gonna make a mess load! Your sewing machine...beautiful! Even if I can only see a smidgen if it. :). TFS!
ME ENCANTA TU MAQUINAAAAAA, TUS TRABAJOS TAMBIEN,TE FELICITO.
Great tutorial. Excellent idea about using a patchwork fabric for your points. I love your sewing machine as well.
wooow!!! wonderful work!!! you are the best genius ever!
Thank you for an easy to understand and to the point, enjoyable video. I'll enjoy making some of these for next year.
I would love for you to do more of this kind of video-type things. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the recipes but I an only take so much cooking before I turn in to the Good Year Blimp!
+pristinabread - Never mind....I found your crafts channel...LOL Thanks!
(copied from previous comments) "There are two templates that I uploaded to a random image hosting site since FB won't let you view them. freeimagehosting dotnet slash s3y11 and freeimagehosting dotnet slash oaroe ...you'll have to remove the dot and slash and put in the appropriate symbols since YT doesn't allow links in comments. No guarantees they are the right size or print off at the right size."
Good ideas. I enjoy your tutorials
Your sewing machine is so beautiful 😍
I just LOVE these DARLING ornaments, and if that is an heirloom sewing machine you are quite blessed, it's GORGEOUS. As I understand it, FB requires a PERSON NAME, so you could create a page with either your name, or a fictitious one in order to share your templates. Thank you VERY much for sharing your talent!! Blessings...
Love that idea!! I know I dont have time this year to make these but I will be for next year. Thanks for the idea!!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial and templates - I can't wait to try this!
I did 8 in just over an hour. That's complete (sewing, turning, stuffing and attaching button).
What a fun project - and a super awesome sewing machine!
just beautiful heirloom decorations
Thanks Wendy!
I did. That will be next weeks craft video.
Thanks so much for posting. I can't wait to give these a try!
These little stars are so sweet, thanks for sharing:)
Love it! Also interesting to see how you made a knot for the thread by winding around the needle. Will try. Many thanks.
Wow - wish I'd found you sooner - love all of your how to videos - not too chatty, clear instructions, no bouncing camera shots - when you have music, it's not cheesy...how much more can I gush? I'm going to do a couple of these ornaments, but I've got you marked for next year! Going to head over to your FB page as well - thanks for posting templates! Super job. :)
Ready I agree Templates Please
This is a wonderful tutorial, very nice and easy follow! I'll defiantly be making some of these as last minute gifts!
Definitely trying these this weekend!!
love it! great job and love your sewing machine.
hey i did it ..man its hard by hand did it slightly diff but it looks ok (made own template)
i was thinking of sewing it on a hat or something cause its a bit small
anyhoo ty for the idea
Wow, that's a beautiful sewing machine.
you have given me a great idea for Christmas gifts. thank you
Give it a few hours and try again. It usually says that when FB is doing maintenance on their site.
I do! There's not a lot that I don't do. I'm uber cheap so I've learned to do a lot, LOL!!
I received a patchwork star ornament last year from a friend. I loved it instantly. I decided to make 12 for a Christmas ornament exchange party that I attend annually. All ornaments have to be handmade-no store bought.
I found a pattern for it, but a demo is very helpful. You are the only one that I found on UA-cam that has created a video for this ornament. Thank you! I appreciate the great idea of making a template rather than cutting out a triangle to trace around. What stitch do you use to close the star after it is stuffed?
wait! you sew, too? you're amazing and the ornaments are way cute!
You can always make your own star templates.....Hobby Lobby sells wooden templates that you can use to trace and they would be sturdier than plastic.
So do Michael's & Walmart...
