I wonder if anyone has tried this on a regular square napkin? I am getting married in October and would love to even somewhat replicate this look on all of our plates but due to time constraints cutting out and stitching all 80 some odd napkins is just not feasible.

Anyone know where she got those snake napkin rings? Has she ever said?
Joanne Zaborowski
These are truly exquisite! I want to be invited to a dinner party at your house! Your videos are like watching an extreme sport! Wow. Amazing!! Are you the astrological sign of a Virgo? The detail is so precise! Thank you.🍷

Hi Sonja, I don’t know how much it cost at the time, I received my overlocker as a gift from my parents (birthday and Christmas presents combined) in 2013. Googling Janome 8002DX, a slightly updated model seemed the be available for AUD$389 maybe take a look and see what it costs near where you live, I think Janome sales here usually happen once a year around May
Brenda Ellendson
You would find it so helpful with your garment construction, also. I am a new subscriber and am enjoying your creativeness and the creations! Thank you.
Sonja Kraner
This is super-helpful!! What did your machine cost? Super-Thanks!!! : )

If I’m not butting in 😅 baby lock and Janome are also reliable brands. I have a Janome 8002DX. The most useful thing to look for is that the machine can be converted from 4 thread to 3 thread and the cutting blade can be adjusted and the stitch finger can be dropped so you can do a rolled hem. My machine also came with different feet for attaching cording, strings of beads or wire to the edge of fabric. You can also buy attachments for gathering one piece of fabric onto another at the same time as you overlock them together. My mum has one of these and it’s amazing for making tiered skirts or petticoats 😊

I just have a really old Berina which suits me fine. I prefer the basic ones to the really fancy ones, but I suppose it depends on what you will be doing with it. Also, I'm in Australia and I believe USA has more choice. Sorry i can't be more helpful. Love your work by the way 😀 xxx
Christine McConnell
Thank you Zoeayn! I agree and think I might have to! Do you have a brand or model you suggest?
Zoeayn Pollard
Lovely! I would like to suggest you get a serger/overlocker it will make your life soooo much easier. Totally worth the money, you would of done each napkin in 5 minutes easy 😀 xxx
Cesar
I am in awe of your artistry!
Corie H
These turned out so beautiful !
Nancy Hoffman
I suggest making a umbrella ☂ using this technique!!!!
Lauren Downard
The amount of patience you have astounds me. These turned out gorgeous, but I'm not sure I'd be able to manage it myself:')
Deborah Paulsen
Batty and like a Georgia O'Keeffe flower all in the same. Amazing! Love your work and videos!
Kasy Santos
So beautiful!!
Lacie Fazio
Loved this! I’m wondering if one could make a much smaller version for an ornament, brooch, or hair accessory 🤔
Lindsey
Love these!
Danielle Gutierrez
Oh my goodness! Love it! Also....where did you get those cute little elephants??💗💗💗🖤🖤🖤
Danee Paullin Kaplan
These are stunning- evil and very beautiful
Charlotte Meyer
I know, aren't we lucky! Thank you, I really ought to organise myself and make sure I photograph/video everything...
Natasha
So exciting!! Would LOVE to see what you do with such a space, I would love to be able to have a home like that! There are so many gorgeous old cottages and houses here in England!
Rosalie Langmod
So, I absolutely love the score based on the sounds of the clocks in the house. It's really beautiful. (Also, I miss the sound of coo-coo clocks.)
Katherine Young
Really liked it done in this format!
Charlotte Meyer
Hi Christine, I've just put in an offer on a 17th century cottage - so excited, and hoping it's all going to go through ok. It would have been built during the height of the witch hunts in England so you can imagine the sort of decor I'm planning! I think these napkins will definitely feature.
David
Christine, all I asked was whether you use cloth napkins or paper. Geez 🙄
Samantha McDonald
So good! I loved this smaller episode!
little taosenx
WOW! It's funny that it looked perfect almost immediately, but then you kept fiddling with it anyway.
Mina Murray
Sometimes we poke Albert A. Cat when he's sleeping soundly, just to make sure...
Angel
honest to goodness I was terrified the whole time because the cat was in such an odd position and he just didn't move lol also Christine you inspire me to want to get better with a sewing machine love yew
katie scott
Thank you for the condensed video! I enjoy all your videos but my favorites are ones like these.
Merissa Monroe
I’m so excited to make these eventually, you never cease to amaze!

I'm loving this. The one fun thing happening!
Brieann Chapple
Omg, yay!
Monique Nicole
So cool! Thanks, Chritstine.
Shelby Snow
love it!!!
Tammy R Dowden
I love them! I'm a novice sewer--I'm learning again after MANY moons past Home Ec in high school, so I don't think mine would be as beautiful as yours, but this is a really cool idea!
clara jungman
Hello! So nice!! I think I might have a trick to make the sewing faster and maybe a little less fraying: first cutting the fabric along the marker line, then ironing on the tear away stabilizing fabric, and after that sewing the thick zig zag only once (perhaps making it even thicker?), then tear away... I thought of it because its how you do appliqué on embroidery machines, sort of. Hope it helps :) ahh yes! there is also a stabilizer that dissolves when washed. Love what you do Christine!
Nicholas Frig
The anticipation for the wallpaper is killing me. I am SO excited to see how this turned out and am eagerly waiting to see the completed dining room. This is gonna be so awesome.
Johnny M
Amazing! It's crazy how much happiness Christine videos bring me. Like a rush of dark joy whenever the notification comes up 😭💀
Rez NYC
Very cool!

You're not alone in liking to pull off the fuse & tear stuff.
Mononoke Adams
Fun!

FIVE? Oh, yay yay yay
Liana Palumbo
I absolutely LOVE these napkins and have been looking for snake/bat rings, necklaces and earrings so they'll turn out similar to yours. They don't even have to match. It's autumn here in Australia so having so many episodes to watch, in already single digit temps is AWESOME xx
Claudette Marco
🖤🖤🖤
Liv
Definitely making my own very soon, thanks for this.
The Homesick Brit
Fantastic as usual. Great recap of the process. Adding it to my craft “To Do” list. And the Captive’s use of the clock sounds in the score of this video brought a smile to my face. Hope you all are safe and well. Looking forward to the wallpaper series. XOXOX
Jessica Darne
Love these! Now I’m inspired to make some for our new house! When you made the pattern, did you intend for them to be able to lay out like the finished product or was it more of a cool pattern you liked and the foldability was a happy side effect?
Sonya Colley
I'm obsessed with the place settings. Beautiful and whimsical!
Cynthia Munoz
Gorgeous table setup! Love your dress! Thank you for this video and I can’t wait for the next ones coming up! 💜
Tim Metcalf
Loved the outtake at the end! ha! Pretty dress, by the way! Looking forward to (wow) 5 videos coming up!

It's nice to get a condensed version of this. It makes it far easier to follow along then having to watch the entire live stream again!
