Description
Well, I needed a break from doing this for hours! So, I took pictures while I was going (as per the usual) of appliqueing the clouds onto the Itachi robe I have on commission (that I have to have done this weekend/early next week
)So... I hope you can find this helpful, as well! It's a grand alternative to the Fakie Screen-Printing Tutorial for a way of applying color or design.
I'll probably wind up coming in and editing this description shortly; I'm just too tired right now! That was a lot more work (both the cloud things, and the tutorial) than I thought it would be!
I have one question for Naruto fans, though: why is there only one cloud on Itachi's outfit that goes backwards? The one on the back, as per this reference - [link] Why just one?! *drives me crazy*
As per the usual:

This totally reminds me of my first experience with Heat and Bond - I was trying to make letters for a shirt with this stuff and cut the fabric before adhesive... Let's just say that the fabric I had used as a cover for the iron never came back off my ironing board...

Yeah, you know, it never really crosses your mind the first time that the Heat and Bond stuff sticks to EVERYTHING.

Felt melts? Guess I didn't know that one... I'll make sure I don't do that!

Ha! I hadn't expected it to, but I was making my second Sanzo commission, and lo and behold! I melted green felt to my ironing board cover! And it stank, too, like nothing else

That can't have been a wool felt. Wool would singe not melt - though these days there are all sorts of fibres used in felt!

That's a shame - though if you're felting hats you're probably better learning to felt from scratch - I know the theory - never done it though. It looks easy enough if a little damp and time consuming 
Anyways - don't you have enough on your plate at the moment?

Pinning the heck out of it definitely works, too - I'm just lazy, so I prefer not to have to worry about things shifting at all

Whoo awesome and very helpful tutorial! I was wondering if you ever plan on making a tutorial for pants? xP
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you
What type of pants, exactly? Because they're tricky at best, and I hate making them myself (so much cheaper just to buy pants than to spend forever making them

Umm kinda like baggy pants. If you have ever seen the male characters pants from Fire Emblem, thats what I'm talking about. Since I planning on making a costume >.< I find your tutorials most helpful!

Oh! That might not be too bad to do
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah that would be so awesome!

kishimoto isn't as creative as he seems; over half the characters have look-alikes. so its no surprise the clouds are... evil.

Great overview of machine appliquΓ©! And, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who uses rayon thread for my satin stitching.
If you edit this at all, "Step 6: A Few Tips - Curves" has a spelling mistake in the first sentence of the first paragraph. It's not a big deal, but I know you're as OCD as I am.

I love the rayon thread - I did it by accident one time, by forgetting to change out the embroidery thread when I was using my embroidery machine for it, and found it to be so pretty and shiny... I'm rather like a bird... shiny = good

You're like me with the OCD, so I figured you wouldn't mind my pointing it out!
Rayon thread is so pretty!! I like the shiny, and how it's so smooth...it just makes for a nice finish. And yes, shiny = very, very good... *wanders off, distracted by shiny things*

I'm so happy it's not just me, sometimes

Tell me about it!! It's nice to have someone who understands so well!
