00:00:00,188 --> 00:00:02,960
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,500
- Hi, I'm Twinkie Chan.

3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,629
I'm a crochet designer and author,

4
00:00:06,629 --> 00:00:10,300
and welcome to Glue 102:
Working With Fibers.

5
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:11,779
When we're talking about fibers,

6
00:00:11,779 --> 00:00:13,519
we're talking about yarn and thread,

7
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,210
whether you're a crocheting,
knitting, weaving,

8
00:00:16,210 --> 00:00:17,719
or even embroidering.

9
00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:19,280
Of course, you should always try

10
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,210
to sew together your
items as much as possible,

11
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:24,390
but sometimes glue is the way to go

12
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:26,992
with certain embellishments
and finishings.

13
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:30,960
As a crochet designer,

14
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,756
I'm surprised by how often I'm asked,

15
00:00:32,756 --> 00:00:34,509
"What kind of glue are you using?"

16
00:00:34,509 --> 00:00:37,469
Whether I'm adhering
tiny pompom sprinkles,

17
00:00:37,469 --> 00:00:39,380
to a crocheted ice cream scarf,

18
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:41,219
or turning a super cute pretzel

19
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:43,359
into a piece of wearable art.

20
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:45,359
In this class, we're going to cover

21
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:47,600
gluing fiber to fiber,

22
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,509
fiber to small porous items

23
00:00:49,509 --> 00:00:51,710
like pompoms and felt lettering,

24
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:55,789
fiber to small non-porous
items, like tiny sprinkles,

25
00:00:55,789 --> 00:00:58,600
fiber to plastic, and fiber to metal.

26
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,670
There are a bajillion
types of glue out there,

27
00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:03,009
and if that's overwhelming,

28
00:01:03,009 --> 00:01:05,480
I'm super excited to
show you my top favorites

29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,329
and all the tricks that go with them.
