The video I’m sharing today is a tutorial from Helmar USA on faux stitching. No doubt you’ve seen faux stitching before, perhaps using a paper piercing tool to make the holes. This is a slight variant on the same idea, except using a serrated tracing wheel to make indentations on the paper prior to drawing the “stitches” with a pen.
For those who are sewing challenged and not sure what a tracing wheel is – it’s a tool used to trace and mark patterns onto fabric. (Well ok maybe it’s just me who didn’t know that!) In any case, it’s a wonderful alternative to the real thing. I suck at real life sewing, so this is a fabulous way to get a sewn effect on a scrapbooking project.
