Live Treadling with Mel

Ever since I shared my video about the panty hose treadle belt people have been asking me to show how my feet work when I'm treadling. I figured I had put it off about as long as I could so I did a live Facebook video of it. I really would have liked to sew more than I did but I had to hold the camera with one hand and that makes things a little difficult for me when I'm treadling. I normally need one hand to guide the fabric and one to start the handwheel.

The video is a little rougher than I normally share with you here. I did it live so there is no editing, just me with a jostling camera and a few drops. The good news is hubby has promised me a tripod by the time I do Facebook like again!!! That's awesome you'll be able to see so much more thanks to a tripod.

This is also my first time embedding a Facebook video here on the blog. So if you can't watch it please let me know so I can troubleshoot the issue. If you liked it don't forget to pin the graphic below.

About Mel

Mel has been working with fabric since she was a small child. Coming from a family of quilters Mel quickly figured out that staying on top of color trends in home design set her family's quilts apart from others. When designing Mel believes that the fabric will tell you what it wants to be and you should listen! She has eclectic tastes and loves everything from mid-century mod to classic farmhouse and everything in between! Mel wants to make sure her favorite quilt patterns from the past stay relevant in today's quilting world. Playing with scale, color choice and placement, and using those blocks in things other than quilts opens others to the possibilities of quilts outside of the bedroom. Mel enjoys tweeting and watching HGTV home reno shows, wandering antique shops, drinking good coffee, and listening to music.
