I SUCK AT TOPSTITCHING! || How I Use Guided Feet For Top Stitching
#howtosew #topstitching #sewingmachine
I've been sewing for over 30 years and still can't sew a straight line. Thanks goodness I don't care about perfection. And thank goodness sewing tools can provide a work around. Let's talk about guided feet!
Today we talked about these sewing machine feet. Unfortunately I could not find the exact ones that came with my Janome machine. If you want those ones, I suggest checking out a sewing machine dealer near you. But I did find the other feet and have linked them below. These are affiliate links and I may be entitled to a small commission at no extra cost to you if you use them.

      Yes they should. Obviously without seeing the project I can't tell if there is anything you might need to do differently. But in general this should work for pretty much any garment other than a zipper fly in pants

    Stephanie, I’m trying to hem roll a light weight knit. The problem is that the fabric is getting caught in the feed (bottom plate), such that the fabric bunches and won’t move. Do you have any recommendations to prevent this?

    • @StephanieRubletz
      @StephanieRubletz Před 8 dny

      Ooh, I hate to say it friend but you picked about the hardest thing to roll. You could try to stabilize it with starch and lighten the pressure on the foot. But that's just a best guess. Whenever I hem a knit I either use my serger or I manually fold my hem back and go over it with a double needle and a straight stitch.

    @MossyMozart Před 2 měsíci

    For the person who had trouble keeping the rolled hem a consistent width - Ms Rubletz showed how to prevent it from getting progressively smaller, but if the hem gets progressively BIGGER, the woman at the "Bridal Sewing" channel said to keep some tension behind the foot and very light tension as you feed the fabric through the foot from the front, all as Ms Rubletz showed. _But ALSO keep tension pulling away at the LEFT SIDE of the foot. That prevents the hem from getting progressively wider._ It works very well to aide in consistency. All the best.
