TRY SKILLSHARE FOR 2 MONTHS, FREE: http://skl.sh/annika Thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring this video 💖 So if are a craft-lover and have been on the internet anytime in the past 6 months, then you've probably been advertised the "magic embroidery pen" about a million times at this point. Question is - how do these embroidery pens work? Are they anything new? And DO they work as they're advertised to? Ya girl Annika was somewhat skeptical, and apparently so were a lot of you - so she decided to give it a go. (ps - if you KNOW what these things are and how they're supposed to work - please refrain yelling at me in the comments until you've watched the video 😉 I get there in the end, haha!) PS 🍄 The artist whose work has been stolen for a lot of the promo pics is by @chloegiodaron_embroidery , who did not approve of nor get paid for her work being stolen to promote these pens. Another good reason not to purchase one of these! 👕 Merchandise here: http://bit.ly/2mVRYbv 🔸 Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/annikavictoria ☕️ Buy me a coffee https://ko-fi.com/annikavictoria ☕️ ***** Help add subtitles in another language! http://bit.ly/2tk2wFw ******** PATREON SUPPORTERS ********* ↓Business Supporters!↓ Little Gun Tank http://bit.ly/1PmHCYr http://etsy.me/1ng4Vgt Stitch Upon A Time https://stitchuponatime.com/ https://www.facebook.com/suatchat ♡Producers♡ My Mum & Dad Special Thanks go to: Barbara Ellie Noyes Lydia Dobson Loushy Maggie Vincent Gamgrep **************************** PROJECT DETAILS The old tattered flag (punch needle tips): http://theoldtatteredflag.blogspot.com.au/2018/01/lets-learn-how-to-punch.html Punch needle basics: https://chickenscratchny.com/2014/12/punch-needle-basics.html Tambour embroidery: https://www.needlenthread.com/2013/11/tambour-embroidery-index.html If you want to learn all about embroidery, I’m not the most authoritative source by a lonnnng shot.
