How To Use a Seam Ripper to Remove BAD Quilting |Hand Embroidery Progress Update!

Published 2024-05-21
Hey, Everyone! Here is a fun update on what I've been working on this past week! I've been using my trusty seam ripper to pull out all the quilting stitches from my Cozy Picnic quilt so I can make another attempt at doing some beautiful free-motion quilting on it. Yay! I also get to show you my progress on my hand embroidery project which, honestly, has been SO much fun and low pressure to work on!

    Lint rollers help with getting out threads from seam ripping 😊

    I don't know any other way to do it. That is how I did mine. I just learned this, and it works really well: If your seam ripper has a rubber end, running it crossed the little threads, it will pull them right out. Then the lint remover picks them right up. Glad to see you are getting done

    I love the French knots. It looks very traditional to me that way, which I love. 🥰
  • @ccreel64
    Miriam, that’s how I seam rip everything! And I love Bothy kits too. Your moth is lovely!❤
  • @lindadrew5047
    I love your excitement & love you have for these hobbies. It’s so refreshing & inspires me to get back into doing these things again❤️
  • @TGBTGAlways
    👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you made great progress on the unthreading of your quilt. Can’t wait to see the new and upcoming projects you have planned 😍

    Oh Kimmie, You're a natural, Sweetie. 🥰 Sending big hugs to you and Momma. ♥️

    I recently tried glue basting on a couple of smaller quilts. It was great. It is now my favorite way to baste.

    I found a quilt that I made...quilt sandwich...back in 2011. I didn't know about the quilting foot. There were bad puckers and no even stitch. I just picked them out and plan to finish it this week. Thanks for your encouragement with your videos.
  • @juliahodges3113
    Thank you for sharing your tips & knowledge. I do have a tip for you. When you are getting all the small sections of the seam ripped, try a lint roller. It works great.
  • @NicoleS.-rq9bb
    I really enjoy your videos! I'm new to sewing and your explanations are easy to follow and your enthusiasm is motivating. I also enjoy special appearances by your cats. I've had to do a lot of seam ripping - ugh - sometimes two or three times on the same piece. I recently bought an embroidery kit to make little Christmas mitten ornaments and have not mastered the French knot. But I agree the process is therapeutic.
  • Aw, your seam ripping helper 😊 Yes, beading needle eyes are so so tiny. I swear it gets better with practice. I actually hate french knots and often replace the called for french knots with beads in cross stitch now, lol.

    I used to get that type of migraine. The sparkly circle in your vision is an ocular migraine. I still get the visual disturbance occasionally, but it's usually not accompanied by the actual migraine headache anymore.
  • @susangray6470
    Funny thing I just put 2 rows of a quilt together and I'm not liking the busy look of it. I was just deciding if I would rip some blocks out and replace them with a plain color or maybe just white. Seam ripping and replacing it is. You might want to have your eyes checked. Sometimes migraines like that relate to eye problems. Glad your feeling better!

    I'm working on the Ingrid's wildflowers kit from MSQC. When the embroidery is finished you get to sew the pieces together into a quilt. Double bonus in my crafty life!
  • @killspun
    6:23 dude, you have the cutest cat, but is that a Star Trek sticker? Also, your embroidery is turning out beautifully🦋
  • @craftdipper
    The beading needle..... Yes, they have a tiny, tiny eye so as to go through the little seed beads. And they ARE a nightmare to thread😂😂😂 Finer thread is the only answer. But I love your French knots - perfect solution😉👌
