But, some PDF patterns don't work well for that method so today I'll show you another way. It's not a new way, but the conversion from PDF to JPG is faster than doing screen grabs or snippets.

Thank you
You're welcome
I’ve been trying to figure these out. You were a little bit out of camera so I really didn’t see it.
Sorry you had trouble viewing. Try to pause in between if that would help.
You explain things so clearly - I think even I could manage this 😀 Thank you! 🌺
you can definitely do this!
Thank you for simplifying this process.
Out of curiosity, why affinity publisher vs affinity designer? I've dabbled with both but not extensively. I used designer when I tried this. Is publisher better?
Designer will work just fine; in fact, it's what I prefer now for this kind of work (but both work fine)
@@sewkelley Okay good. I’m much more familiar with it than Publisher!
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video!
This was amazing Kelley ❤❤❤
Thank you Kelley for sharing ❤ It looks like it was such an amazing trip. What a wonderful experience ! You and Chu look great 😘💕
It was!
Looks like that was so much fun. Loved all the dancing.
Where’s the svg file for this?
See video #1; it teaches you how to make your own SVGs.
absolutely amazing. thank you so much for sharing. I am so grateful and so happy I came across this tutorial. such a wonderful tip. ❤
You are Magic my lady. Thank you so much for being generous and sharing knowledge. Glad I found you. 🌴
What is the name and model of your sewing machine? Can this sewing machine use free thread?
Thanks for the good ideas and instructions!
Thank you. I want to try this. What thickness of foam are you using?
Just the video I needed. You rock Kelly Rao!! 😍
glad you found it helpful!
WOW. So many tips and tricks. Adding faux piping to an inside pocket. Hope you return shortly from your “sabbatical”. Such great videos.
Enjoyed watching your informative video. It seems that Janome HD9 is a bit loud. Can you comment? Thank you.
It's a little loud, but so is the 2010Q. After awhile, in all seriousness, it's kind of a comforting sound.
Thanks for your helpful reply. @@sewkelley
I love all of the tassels. They’re awesome!! I have made a couple of different styles that I’ve seen here and there but my biggest problem is finding big bead caps or something the to use at the top of the tassels! If you know of a place where I can purchase some of the ones you’re using can you please point me in that direction? It would mean a lot to me.
Really loved your video. I would appriciate it if you add a shopping/material list. I did go to the Tops and Bobbins site but had know idea what to look for🙄
I tried your method with your files and everything worked fine, but when I tried the same technique with some other designer files, all I get is just a black square in Cricut Design Space. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong. I separated the pattern pieces and saved each to a pdf, then converted using Cloud convert. Same result....just a black square. 🤤
It really depends on the file. What pattern is it, if you don't mind letting me know. I now use Affinity Designer to convert all patterns these days. Less work! payhip.com/b/zxpC7
@@sewkelley The pattern is the Earphone Keeper by Spencer Ogg. I believe it was one of her free files. Have you done a video on the Affinity Designer? You do such amazing work. Thanks.
I just looked at the connection and see you have done a class on the Affinity Designer. I will check it out. Thanks.
@@Sewlady718 I did download the Earphone Keeper and it is an image, not vector drawn (likely done in Canva). So in this case, you'd need to trace or redraw.
@@sewkelley That's interesting. I'll give it a try. Thank you so much for your help.
I have a jelly vinyl can I add HTV to it?
You know, I don't know! I don't have any to test on for you. Try a sample and be sure you are using a teflon mat beneath and on top. Start with a cooler setting, too, vs silk. Lately a cool peel has been working best for me.
This is my new way of making a slip pocket! Thank you!
mystery solved, what a great video and how well explained each step is. Thank you
Thank you Kelly. Can you also share what settings and blade to use? That's where I'm currently stuck.
I made a custom setting of 350 pressure, 1 pass. I use the pink blade (but a sharp standard should work fine). Vinyl face up unless the backing is fuzzy and will leave dust bunnies behind... then other way. Do a test cut first; you might need to use the "extra pressure" setting.
Are the measurements you draw different depending on whether you’re using #3 or #5 zippers?
I only use #5 zippers so if you use #3, you may wish to take a larger SA.
loved this one thank you. About to try my first. Wish me luck!!
Thank you 💖
I have been trying to decide between the Janome HD9 and the Juki TL-18 QVP and because of the Juki being $1000 cheaper (in Canada), I have ordered the Juki and I'm excitedly waiting for it to arrive in a week!
which machine did you decide on? I am struggling with this same issue. IDK if the Janome HD9 is worth >$1000 difference
Excellent comparison video!
can you apply with a steam iron? where did you get theVogue sticker? great video thanks
You don't want to use steam when applying HTV. Sticker is from AliExpress (watch out for copyright infringement).
I could not find the retail place for th first tassel cap. Is it Sew Unique or So Unique or So you need. Love to order some. thans
I believe it was So You Need Hardware, but I don't see them for sale any longer.
I love these, but I also love the little bag you keep your clips in. Could you share which pattern this is please, just love the shape and the detail. Love your work 💜
Terrific! What a clever way to create this lined zipper pouch--very creative! Thank you for the pattern.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I bet this will be the most gifted pouch in the world!XOXO
You are so welcome!
Question: I don't have a fancy heat press machine. Can this be done with a regular iron? And if so, will this technique work with a regular iron? thank you
For smaller HTV, yes, a HH iron will work fine.
@@sewkelley thanks for the response. But holy cow, I asked this 4 months ago :)
Yeah, I stink at this stuff! At least I'm honest :-) @@dillardphilosophy3333
Hi Kelley .. Thanks for a fabulous easy to follow video. Would it be possible to send a link or the name of the tool you used for marking the line on the piping ..?? Many thanks
Hera marking tool.
Watched again Love your tutorials and Affinity
Wow Kelly that was awasonellll
That looks like a great stap making technique. I do one question though. How do you sew through the double sided tape without it gumming up the needle? Thanks.
Thanks -- yes, it works great and no twisted straps. I don't have any issues with the DST gumming up my needle; but if it does, I just keep a little supply of alcohol wipes nearby and wipe down the needle.
I'm a jeweler, they're called split rings. 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why can we just have a machine that does everything ? 🤺💐
I agree!!
Thank you!!! This was so helpful!
Could you give a link to your favorite zipper tape supplier? Thank you, 🥰
Happy to! MyHandmadeSpace.com
Thank you. I am so glad to have found your channel. Please keep on producing these great vids.
Wow Kelley, this is so generous of you. I do have a Cricut Maker 3 but have not used it to its full potential. Thank you so much for showing us how to do these things. I too love your work. You are truly gifted. Keep the video's coming, please.
