Anti-clockwise

I unknowingly gave some bad advice on my last version of this sewing tip, so the old version has been deleted. I learned the proper way to do it, so here’s a new one to replace it!

Applique is when you take one piece of fabric and attach it to another piece of fabric by satin stitching (tight zigzag stitches). This generally looks more professional than top-stitching and makes it easier to add complex designs to your piece. Applique can be done two ways - what I call “by hand” (still sewn with a sewing machine, but not programmed with an embroidery program) or with an embroidery machine (with the stitches sewn by an embroidery program). This tutorial will go over the latter method.

Each method has its pros and cons: by hand takes less up-front work, but tends to be messier depending on the skill level of the maker; by machine takes a decent amount of prep up-front, but is very clean and isn’t dependent on the skill of the maker. I generally prefer the embroidery machine method, unless it is a very small piece on a part of the plush that is not a “focus point”.

Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!

This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!

Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!

Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.

The reason they started this again is because… the timing.

Coincidence? I think NOT.
