    With my Thread …
    With my Thread Dispenser, you’re able to use most thread cone sizes. If you try to use the King Cones on your machine without a stand engineered for it, you’ll experience inconsistent tension and thread breaking and shredding.

    Yes, a new process for a vintage technique, making it possible for new sewers to enjoy this once difficult technique. It’s easy, relaxing and a great source of stress release. Good old-fashioned fun for the entire family 🙂

    In the video, I show that you can use a foot should you want to. I prefer to not use a foot. I also show that you have options of how you use your hands, however if you do not look at your fingers as you embroider, you won’t sew over them. It’s like watching oncoming headlights on a road; if you stare at them you will drive right into them. I rarely ever feel the need to place my fingers on the fabric.

    I have what might be a really stupid question are the spools embroidery thread,the spools with the locking feature, too big for a general sewing machine

    I noticed you used a Free Motion Pressure Foot at the end of the video. Is there a reason you needed to do that when you were doing the curly lines or can you do those without the foot? (WOW you sure get your fingers close to that needle!)

    oh man, I used to …
    oh man, I used to create thread paintings professionally 20 years ago and well, it’s great to see that not only is the art alive and well, it’s progressed! Very cool products… I’m preparing to get back into it and I’m catching up. Shoot inkjet printers didn’t even exist back then but I do recall printing designs on a dot matrix when I didn’t just draw it freehand. Thanks for the video – it was informative and enjoyable. 🙂

    This video was very poor as I couldn’t make out the picture. There were lines distorting the picture. I would like to watch a better quality the next time.

    I did many embroider items through the years ( going back 35 years ago) using the method such as the demonstration here, I am just now learning about this hoop you are using. Sounds great. I always used a regular embroider hoop with no problem. I am now getting back into sewing, the method here is very easy. One of the most complimented items that I received the embroidery of a tiger on the back of a shirt I made for my husband. Thank you for sharing this video,

    this is okay…. but it looks a little choppy/messy.
    I think I would hand embroider before i tried to do it this way =D
    Looks like a nice product for people with arthritis maybe 🙂

    You don’t have to …
    You don’t have to be that coordinated – that’s one of the best features!
    If you can color in a coloring book, you can embroider and free motion quilt using the Octi-Hoops 🙂 You actually hold onto what feels like a crayon and your arms and elbows rest so you have more control.

    This is very …
    This is very interesting and looks fun. But don’t you have to be really coordinated to move the hoop without making a mess of the sewing? Do you just use an ordinary stitch or some of the decorative stitches my machine has? Thanks for the demo.

    Yes you can print anything – a photo of your dog.. a photograph of flowers, a boat – you name it and the ink from an inkjet printer simply washes away in the water once you rinse 🙂

    Hi. This is a great product! I’m not clear on one thing. Can you print anything that you want onto the clear product? I’ve got an inkjet printer. Would that work?
    Thank you!

    The act of changing …
    The act of changing the thread is a simple process- As this is NOT an embroidery machine. So, when you want to use the next color you simply change the needle thread. The bobbin thread is not changed unless you want it to match the top thread. These are used on any sewing machine. If you know how to change your thread on your machine now this is a simple step.
