PatchMaker 3.0 Kit

Fun and easy to use. I wish the hooks were a little closer together, but that's just personal preference (I want to be able to make less thick patches with thinner yarn/thread); the tool works perfectly well. I've done a couple practice patches, but not yet actually used it for mending a garment. I’ve noticed a little warping of the fabric (the patch pulling on it), and it’s hard to keep the right and left edges of the patch straight. That might just be something get better with practice, though. Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase, and my new little hobby!

I'm still getting the hang of using the Knitpatch, but am enjoying the process. I wish there were needles of different thicknesses available to use as many of my lighter weight fabrics don't work as well with such a heavyweight needle, but the shorter, standard needles don't work as well. I look forward to mastering the techniques and adding patches to both garments and houseware fabrics in the future for both mending and decoration. Very glad I ordered this.

I have tried to use it several times and cannot get past the starting point. I can't get the base lacing set up. First the thread keeps sliding off the hooks on the top, then I have trouble seeing where I need to be stitching and last, I have yet to get to the second stage where I am placing the cross stitching. I am not quitting! But I am a farmer and have very few daylight hours. So, I take a few moments in the evenings to try again. I need a clear lesson on how to do this. Sorry. I think I am going to like this but not so much right now. More frustrated than in love
