Sewing Studio Vlog: Developing New Pattern Jeans Making
Thank you so much for solving my tunneling issue !
I make my own binding..in any color I may need it..
The biggest challenge I have ( I’ve sewn for many years) is making buttonholes in fabric that is thick ~ Any suggestions or secrets to accomplish this?
Thank you for a great video! Just a note on the threading; on my machine, Brother innov-is A65, the manual says that only the first thread on the right needle should go inside the hook-shaped threadholder above the needle; i don`t know the english word for it and neither did google... The second thread just go straight down to the needle. So i will advice all to check your manual for how to thread for a twin needle on your machine. If you don`t have the paper manual you can find it online.
I just got a cover stitch and am so excited. When I tried cover stitching a cotton t shirt material hem, the hem wasn’t wavy but it was “loose” or “baggy”? I can’t quite explain it. Does this mean I should iron it flat to ensure it doesn’t move and end up baggy and puffy? Maybe that’s why you gave the tip to baste? I guess I just figured I could hem without having to do anything extra to it or maybe I have to practice my technique to feed it evenly. Just not sure if my settings are off that creates this bagginess
Thanks for this wonderful video!
Excellent video with no messing straight forward instructions 👍
Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I mostly sew t shirts to wear around the house because I can't make anything good enough to wear out. I need more practice and you've given me enough information and confidence to try more. Thanks again!
Omg. I have one but didn’t know I can use as a seam guide. Thank you. It did come with my machine.
Agree about the magnetic pin cushion. Love mine.
Hello dear, longtime, hope all is well🧵✅
I have a pair of cotton chinos that i need to taper. On the outside seams, there is top stitch which am not a fan of. Can i totally remove the top stitch or will that weaken the seams ?
I sew hems on cotton spandex. If the garment is stretched a little further than normal, the top stitches literally come totally apart. they pop up right off the fabric. What in the world could be going on? This has been just recently, I haven't changed any settings, and nothing seems to be wrong with my machine? Thank you :-) I use a stretch twin needle, tension at 4, SL at 3. I use embroidery thread for bobbin and top threads
Saben de cuanto es el ancho que se tiene que corta de la cinta
Wow! So thorough and clear. Superb!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much ❤
Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Great video and tips. Thank you
What brand of clear elastic is best
Thank you very much!
Sorry to yell at you, you didn’t yell at me. That was out of line, I apologize.
Do you have a special clear elastic that you recommend?And where would I find such a clear elastic?
Thank you! My big cutting mat warped and I was sad to have to buy a new one. I put it out in the sun for one day and it has returned to flat! Super excited!
Can I make a one-piece body thong for men I've had one made I'm wondering if I could make another one with that stitch I like to get some other colors made up they're right for the beach
I appreciate the tip regarding needle down before starting the stitches. I have been frustrated with the thread nesting. I love all my youtube teachers. Thank you.
Hi I'm Jonathan do you do any men's body thongs if so do you make them do you customize them for men I need the larger front to hold like a long front to hold the banana and pretty good I don't know if you guys do any of that work or do you do any of that with the one piece body thongs I'd like to get one for the beach
Tried and did not work. Corners just won’t flatten out and now have bubble Ugh
Moça, sorry mas você parece o Felca. Thanks!!
Awww that's so cute that everyone thinks 3" below average height is "petite". What would five foot me be? Munchkin??
Hello Hello - excited to be here.
Hi! I really like your videos, you make it very clear and they're very helpful! As a begginer I have some questions about this project 🤔 wouldn't it be easier to make this garment out of a woven fabric? Or maybe some wool? Why would I pick a knit for this garment?
I’m making a jeans dress and I’m scared to ruin the finishing 😅
thanks, I knew someone was using something to make sure the lines are straight
I have completely botched 3 zipper flys. Thank you for this video. I will attempt #4 today!!
The zig zag straight stitch is on your machine for a reason. It's not just for sewing lingerie. I also use it for the seams on knit fabric.
This woman videos are a waste of time. Her tips are all commonsense ideas as o0pposed to having some insight. Idiot
Thanks for making this! I'm planning out a small electronics workshop at home and this will 100% help me pick a pegboard!
Loved this tutorial thanks. I was able to upcycle some old PUL nappy covers into a perfect run belt.
Hi! You won't believe me but I bought a pdf pattern for this belt an hour ago!! If only I had seen your video first 🤣 never mind, I'll use the video as tutorial and the pdf bought for the pattern, at least it will feel like I didn't waist money 😅 Not sure where to write you for this. But I want you to know that I bought your "fit for knits" book and is probably one of the best one I've come across: it seats in my sewing space among my most precious sewing books ❤
Thank you so much for a straight-to-the-point and very intelligent presentation.
This video is awesome ty
Excellent video!!! Thank you
Hi! I'd like to share this tip: in my sewing there wasn't a zigzag at the back, while many videos clearly had it. Instead, the bottom thread followed an almost straight line. After quite a while I finally learned that you can also change the tension of the bottom thread by loosening a bit the little screw in the metal bobbin case. It worked like a charm. Thank you for your thorough tutorial, it really helped me!
Great video, clear explanation, but in my experience there’s no need to do notch on the left side, just press in, Otherwise 5***** tutorial
Wonderful tutorial. You are so very clear and well informed. Thank you for sharing this!
Fabulous tips!
I have a Elna Extend covermax machine ❤
THANK YOU!
Wind and use a bobbin or two, why not? What a great, appropriate solution! And . . . if this is your first twin-needle experience, manually make sure the now-wider needle(s) clears the needle slot in the foot. But don't assume that all twin-needles of various widths will clear.
The overcast/over lock has disappeared from the fly shield when you starch it to the zip?
