Sewing Metal

I know some people might be afraid to sew metal on their sewing machine, so to dispel any fears I thought I would make a short video demonstrating how I sew metal on my Fiesta Ornaments.

I want the thread to show up well against the metal so I use a bright colored heavy weight cotton thread in the top and a matching color thread in the bobbin. Generally I use a top stitch needle, but often I just sew it with whatever needle I have in the machine with no problem.

    Thanks for making the video! It's so much easier to see a demo of how you do that! =)

    Hi Judy!

    Yesterday I posted an entry on my blog with a link to this video.

    Would you let me know if that's OK?

    Thanks,
