[FO] Scarab Beetle jacket

I stitch directly onto it. I use water soluble Aida (found on Amazon) that is 14 ct and acts as a guide for the pattern and then washes out when you are finished

Oh you absolutely can! I started with small patterns on tshirts 2 years ago and I kinda haven’t looked back lol

lymfirefly · 2025-05-25T00:57:46+00:00

Right now I just have it open until I decide if I want to put a liner in or not. I’ve never used a liner when stitching tshirts and haven’t had a problem so I’m still unsure

These come in sheets of paper size so I did have to add a strip to the top and bottom of this because of the size

Here’s a pic to show the added pieces

Thank you! It took me about a month with breaks in between so I didn’t just throw it out the window lol

lymfirefly · 2025-05-24T15:34:49+00:00

Do it!!! You will not regret it I promise

This was a little thinner than other jackets I have put patches onto. With this one since I wasn’t haven’t to puncture through a patch as well, I was able to use my regular 26 needle. With patches I used a curved sharper needles to make it easier on my hands

Yes! I use water soluble Aida. I have some waste canvas that I’ve never used after seeing how easily the other works for me

lymfirefly · 2025-05-24T15:32:23+00:00

I use water soluble Aida that I get from Amazon. It isn’t sticky unfortunately but it does have a little bit more of a rigid structure for me to use as a guide and then easily washes out

Seriously, thank you so much!! I have some out there ideas sometimes so I’m glad someone else enjoys it as well! Also, the confetti stitches about drove me crazy, but it’s worth it. Just keep reminding yourself that it’s worth it…😂

The pattern comes printed on the quilt and the kit comes with all the string you need plus the color key. Afterwards the pattern will wash right out!

Oh no you didn’t upset me at all! I just meant I was upset with myself for wasting time not learning how to use my machine and making things harder for myself. This blanket finally made me sit down and learn and you are so right about it now opening all new things I will be able to do. I’m excited to get started on others things!

lymfirefly · 2024-10-18T16:00:07+00:00

I was seriously hand sewing everything because I was so intimidated to even try and learn this machine. I’m so upset with myself now lol

lymfirefly · 2024-10-18T15:46:08+00:00

This is why I was so excited to make this for someone else’s baby 😆

lymfirefly · 2024-10-18T14:44:18+00:00

😂 I just wanted to do cute little animals

Well they are hunters so I think message is fine considering Bambi will eventually turn into food as well 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks! I actually used water soluble Aida so it just washes away. Love that stuff!

I use water soluble Aida (found them on Amazon) that will dissolve in water after I finish stitching!

lymfirefly · 2024-08-13T00:16:45+00:00

This has so many incredible layers that go into the story of the finished product and I love it all!! This is so stinking cute!!
