do you have tutorials for all your projects?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't. I made them when I had time away from my full time job. I've been trying really hard to do them more often. What kind of tutorial are you looking for?
Deletewhat is the best way to adhere the edges when outlining letters and words. mine always come messy from the glue not holding in place as I try to form the curves.
ReplyDeleteHi there, I've made a video to answer exactly that question. Here it is: https://youtu.be/hGL5PDZmyto

ReplyDeleteHi Adina, welcome to quilling! Since I've made so many videos, I'm not sure which one you're referring to. I assume you mean the needle tool? It's actually a Kemper Lace Tool. Here's an Amazon Affiliate link:

The thicker paper I like using for on edge quilling is called Canson Mi-Teintes, and I buy it at local fine art supply stores, but here's another link:
