Re: Tutorial: PFs from Tshirts
No, you don't need an embellishment. You can just sew two lines where the embellishment would be.
I've also heard from other people that you may not need 4x8x4 layers, that some people use as little as 2x4x2, and if you are using a sweatshirt instead of a tshirt, maybe even make it a 2 layer preflat. Advertisement

Re: Tutorial: PFs from Tshirts
Cool! I think I'm going to try this, but will the snappi really stick to an old tshirt? I'm thinking of using some of my hubby's old rock-band tshirts that have holes in them...

Re: Tutorial: PFs from Tshirts
I'm a little confused if someone doesn't mind clarifying a few things
First, I see that I sew the outer pieces of the PF together, leaving one side completely open (is that right?) to form a pillowcase like piece. I then place the 2x6x2 PF made from scraps inside this piece. But nowhere do I see anything about sewing these two pieces together, except for when you sew the embellishment on. Is this right or did I miss something? Why wouldn't you sew the scrap PF onto one outer fabric piece, then sew all layers together, T&T, and add the embellishment? Next, I'm confused about the bolded statement below: Quote:
And Finally; Quote:
I've also never heard that about the zigzag stitch and stretching. If I topstitch with a straight stitch my PF won't be stretchy anymore? I'm sorry for so many questions, but I want to make some PF's and this seems to be the easiest way, at least it will be hopefully once I get these questions clarified. I thought that it would be made like this: Cut the outer rectangles from the tshirt. Make the scrap 2x6x2 pf. Stack layers together like so: bottom outer facing up, top outer facing down (right sides together), and scrap PF on top facing up. Sew layers together, leaving an opening to turn. Turn rightside out, and topstitch all the way around, closing the open seam. Lastly, place the embellishment piece on top, in the center, and sew on. Voila! Is this wrong? Oh, and what size rectangles do you ladies usually use for a normal PF? Thanks so, so much!
