How to Freehand Embroider, Girl Popcorn, ThreadBanger

[pnosa]

it's a lot easier and more fun to draw the designs from your own imagination. and the 'free motion foot' isn't necessary. I've been drawing with my sewing machine for 7years. check out my youtube channel: pnosa

[Christopherslady]

did she say "Stippling foot"? I need on of those!!

[NW4Mattie]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am looking for a sewing machine that I can use for monogramming free hand and computerized as well (a used machine is my Preference), which machine(s) would you recommend?

[2sexxyfaya]

[IAmTheNathan]

[pfjmnt]

Could you do anything on Winter Clothing and decor.????

Thanks!

[colippi]

heyyy so its summer now and i was hoping u guys could show us how to make a bathing suit !!!!!!! xox

[jaymenoordz]

Has anyone tried this out at home? I've been thinking of doing it for a birthday present. How much is a freehand foot usually?

[lovepupbandit]

Ugg, I just looked it up and I found them to be $24.00 at most :(

[JaymeNoordermeer]

Actually, I live in Canada and yesterday I went searching for one. I was able to find a "generic" freehand foot for $11.94, NOT BAD! It works perfectly and I am really happy I got it!

[KiwiUnlimited]

the one I got was $20. But maybe it depends on the model of the machine? I have a Brother. I just got one today to try this out :D

[Julibeans]

i just watched Julie Dunbar on Martha Stewart doing her embroidery :) i recognized her from watching this episode about two months ago!

[dirrtybubbles]

when shes sewing the pattern on wouldn't sew threw to the other side of the shirt? i don't no how sewing works! someone plz tel me :3

[punk4life516]

hey you guys should make a pair of normal pants into cool bondage pants with zippers and rings

[malagccs2003]

Hello EXCELLENT WORK, WHERE I CAN BUY THE PIECE TO USE HER IN MY MACHINE. I LIVE IN CARACAS VENEZUELA, HAVE ACCESS TO MIAMI. DO I FIND THE PIECE IN FLOWERY?

[katmichelle88]

this is so rad!

[sunshineluvsbeirut]

hahah polos!!

dudes, make some suspenders please, that wu be excellent

[guitrgirl]

How do you sew without having the thread go through the entire t-shirt? How does it only stitch the top layer of the t-shirt?

[yummyache]

You only put the top part(or whatever part of the shirt yr sewing on)on the needle shelf. Theres normally a middle shelf on the sewing machine where you divide the shirt in 2 so that its going in the middle of the shirt so that yr only sewing the front of the shirt, or whatever.

Did that make sense? Sorry if it didnt :/

[SkyWithBlue]

Your inspiration has changed my way of life. And it all started with the Rachel Ray show!! ha ha ha.... I don't even watch her anymore. hmmm

[girlbythewindow]

Polo Shirt gal needs to consult Megan Nicolay's book Generation T to tear up those Polos into something better. Love Girl Popcorn's embroidery tho' but I guess Polo Shirt gal really hates those Polos.

[gonnabeanauthor]

hahahaha you're right.

[eLmohawk]

we need more more more mens stuff

[ThreadBanger]

I know... we're working on it.

[eLmohawk]

i just found out what thread banger was yesterday and watched most of the vids. thanks for replying so quick.

[Twilight0299]

@ThreadBanger you need to show more things without ironing and a sowing machine

[anonymouspeopleunite]

Hmm... it seems that 21's really going for publicity. I've been seeing their ads everywhere! Wow... :o

I tried to do embroidery on my sister's sewing machine once... now I know why it didn't work. Thanks!

[Elieshorty11]

could you guys make like a really cute hat? You have only made one hat on your show and personaly, i didnt like it.

[illpriyanu]

ok dont subscribe, the video sucks...

[SmileySmartie]

the viewer submission reminds me of ellen page (juno)!

[helivestubes]

Make grocery bags ot of them and then sell them at school! Theres always a charity or school program who needs the money! If schools still have a sewing class, they would do the sewing for you if you ask nice!lol

[abbyfromoz]

Does anyone know where I can find somewhere similar to Treehouse Brooklyn in London??? I know plenty of vintage stores near Portabello Road etc but they are way over priced and its getting harder and harder to find anything original!

[pete1the2pirate3]

luv da show,

[booitsbecky]

[wingwomanlovesu]

i have a really great way to redecorate note books...if u want more info contact me

[booitsbecky]

[NomersDriedgerina]

i agree with yorkiejoy2 i have a million and ten notebooks. theyre all real blah. i tried stickers and that didn't really last all that long. while ur at it, i have a bunch of binders that are really dull too...think you could help??

[sexi13itch]

Yea I think she wanted

to turn the polos into something else;

but it was an awesome idea for all the other

people out there who wanted to spruce up polos! =D

[emohug123]

hey guys i love ur stuff.how about you show us how to take large pants that dont fit and making them just the right size? my body is odd and i can neer find anything that fits.

[ShirinJoyu]

look at the episode with the pinch and pin method

[VocalCord1214]

they did an episode on resizing about a year ago.

[chekkit]

hey!!

how about some stuff on book making!

[DirtyAddiction]

man, i would have told her to make dresses out of it, tent dresses... she did say .. "i really don't like polos" ... so you showed a video of how to spruce up a polo? ... hmm .

[yorkiejoy2]

hey, I got this generic notebook and it's really ugly. Other than stickers, is there anything I could do to make it look better?

~Joy

[pochangaa]

thanks for doing this!

[GymnastS]

Waha! That's me asking the question! I feel all warm, fuzzy, and important inside!

[polko59]

yo, i need some metal style clothes for guys, n e thing is good....could u use this?

[ThreadBanger]

Absolutely! Just pick out a metal design and you can make the shirt or article ot clothing however you'd like! Good luck.

[lcooke]

what the heck is with the ads, this is really disappointing!

[ThreadBanger]

I know, right? But hey! We gotta make money somehow!

[monkywoman1]

i knew i recognized Rob. he was on an old show where they build contraptions out of junk.i forget the name of it but it was "_______ junkyard" or "junkyar _______".

but i knew he looked familiar.

[JLDJLD1960]

hey, that show was called "junkyard wars" ! i loved that show, and i do remember him

!! :)

[tally24th]

so coool..unfortunately all my school polos are grey :( are rele icky streaky grey :( *sigh* i'll find something to do with them tho :)

[Crmlgrl07]

[ThreadBanger]

Janome! We love them and they have great sewing machines.

[zazalikha]

Man,I wish I lived in America.

Finding all the materials and everything would be so much easier.

[lonSinceInsane]

PLEASE USE THIS!!! I love the goth/punk style, but the cloths are so expensive, plus i can't sew, how can i make this kind of stuff out of walmart and target cloths?

[katojane]

I'm a big girl, so do you think you could do something for the curvier ladies out there?

kato

[TwistedSis2]

wonderful. i would love to use this technique in making a kimono top with a dragon image or multiple dragons or even lotus flowers or cherry blossoms. thank you.

[linkmaster112233]

thats so pimp!

[toasterboy13]

do you guy's have any ideas for polos with school logo's on them because I'm changing schools next year and I don't want to where a shirt with my old school on it

[CountessOfFlames]

You could use that embroidery idea to make a patch to go over your old school logo by using some fabric off an old shirt. Or you could print out your new schools logo and sew it on using that idea above.

[toasterboy13]

thanks I'll try that

[sparklythings21]

bomb. loved this episode. love love love your show. keep up the good work.

hey, but just one question... what's going on in seattle?? i would love to see a show about somewhere near me! ;)

thanks!

[MyNameIsSaintJimmy]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. She hand sews! She must have like super thick skin on her fingers.... I hate hand sewing.

[minterkorn]

you guys are awesome!! i saw your video on how to make a backpack outta your old doll...but i cant find a video on how to make a cool custom backpack..out of like old fabric and stuff...the stuff out there is cool..but i know diy'ed ones would be great!

[snager80]

how to make costum fitted gloves would be AWSOME! gloves are HOT.. at least, on anime' people. or at least the ones in my mind that i just made to see what the gloves would look like. i'm being wierd..

[mereaaron]

Great job guys, as always love the show.

I have tons of old rock and roll t-shirts, that are hardly wearable anymore, what can I do with them? Any tank tops (not halters) that could be made with them?

[morbidessssss]

i had that problem too

what i like to do is cut out the logo and sew it to a newer t shirt it adds a punky style also i make them into purses pretty easy and neat way to not have to part from them :)

[SpaceGrl774]

Great video.

[IceFlower162]

Can you show us how to make different types of armwarmers? Like, long or short ones?  Or even fingerless gloves? Thanks!

[nm7rockingcutie]

can you show us how to make a messenger bag?

please and thankyou!

[justbepatient]

seconded!

[tripleventi]

loved this video.I asked for more on embellishing and you did!!! It would be great if you could show us more on machine feet and what they can help us make ( ruffler, beading, ribbon, elastic etc..)Love your videos. By the way I made the scoodie and it was an instant hit with some of my friends.I was going to make some for them ..then decides to send them to your site so they can DIY ,well DIT lol. Thanks

[amberlbrowning]

love it! now off to sew!

[cosmiksquirel]

I agree with Loz8188, this video is absolutely amazing. Thanks for making us learn about such awesome things, threadbanger!

[Loz8188]

This has to be my favourite ThreadBanger video that i've seen, loving the embroidery! x

[krayzgurl18]

hey i was wondering if you could help i have some pj bottoms and pant that have hole in them and i had an idea to make them into pillow covers for my bed i was wondering if you could show me how to make one and what i will need

[drmofcali4niktun]

i think the point was that she didn't want to wear the polos and would rather recycle them.... but i guess it helped other people, and maybe she can make some of these and sell em.

[ChewyWiener]

I want one of those sewing machine foots!

. . . AWESOME . . .

[drmofcali4niktun]

feet*

[nesseline]

Perhaps you can try it with a regular foot. It's not so hard. You just need to move the fabric a bit dexterously for curves and for direction changes of straight lines, make sure the needle pierces through the fabric and use this spot as turning point when you move the fabric underneath the then lifted machine foot around. So: wait till needle pierces, lift foot, turn fabric, but back foot onto fabric. This will do until you can get a freehand foot (what a word!).

[Candiditty]

Corrine's (I am very sorry if that is spelled wrong) has very long hair now!

[ConcorX]

man if my school had a uniform i wish it would be red black and white. That way i could aways look like a fan of the white stripes(which i am).

[CocoCutePuppy]

ooh, niceee

[cosmiksquirel]

Seeing a bunch of kids in school all in red, black and white would be awesome.

[ConcorX]

totally!

[nemo379]

that was awesome!

[apkARRR]

Do you guys know of any websites that list craft fairs and such in the UK? or even internationally?

[CandyLlama1]

[scootiecutie2]

I want to see some out of New York, because then I might be able to go to a store like this.

[klarabeara]

[butterfly2729]
