Sewing Studio Vlog: Developing New Pattern Jeans Making
Can you suggest how to add stabilizer to thiner knits with a knot in front. I purchased a shirt and the knot tightens up with wear and you can't see the detail. The knot tightening does not affect wear...it would just look better with more volume in the knot around bellybutton/waist. I have no extra fabric to make a facing. Thanks
I've used twin needles with really good success in the past but once I got my little Juki coverstitch I never looked back! I have purchased your coverstitch book some time ago. It's great! ❤
Bedankt voor de uitleg. Ik vond met de tweelingnaald werken nog steeds moeilijk. De spanning wijzigen is eng. Vandaag de laatste keer naailes. Misschien ga ik het nog leren…. Het heeft lang geduurd, voordat ik een naaimachine minder eng vond. Ik hoop dat Google translate mijn bijdrage vertaald.
i tried putting wooly nylon in my loopers and for some reason it just doesn't work and seems to pop or break out of the looper guides, it is very bizarre. i think it said threadart on the package
I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know that twin needles were for certain stitches. Mine came with my new to me machine and I thought it was for fun appliqué stitches. I used them for a double embroidered line with different coloured threads, and found the stitch that looks like smocking made an interesting decorative pattern. These tips are a bonus!
Thank you for the Great Info!
Like the video!!!🤓
Nailpolish remover is made from Acetone. You can use it as well for removing Glue resedue from Surfaces like sewing machines..😉 (Btw if you mix acetone with Styrofoam it will result in a very strong glue which otherwise you have to buy very expensive. Acetone is very cheap.Styrofoam rest pieces you will find in packaging or construction sites.)
This is dumb because you're not even sewing a tee shirt to actually show us!!
Thanks
Excellent tutorial thank you. X
Thank you for these tips. My favorite and most helpful to me was how to place my pattern on the fabric and lining up the grainline. This is one of the reasons I haven't started with my pattern yet. This is so much easier.
Cool 😎
Thank you for those simple but effective tips on handling knits fabrics. Appreciated
Excellent tips, thank you!
Roll hem foot they are hard to do
Thank you for showing the different foot I have many but don’t know how to use them
I love your content and sincere style. Thank you for sharing. Buying your books❤
Excellent tutorial…so clear thank you!
No matter what I do, loosen tension all the way to zero, shorten stitch length, the fabric stretches and the sleeve circumference ends up wider than its starting length. If I test the stretchiness, I can feel the inner thread become extra taught and sometimes breaks. Extremely frustrating.
I struggle with this - with lycra 😅 such a nightmare. What can I do?!
Bernina/Bernette have beltloop attachments.
Hallo mam which machine is best for tshirts making
Ty. Just got one of these machines. I appreciate your review
The leveler was a game changer for me.. low cost and it lives in the top thread tray on my machine for easy access.
When pulling an elastic through the waist of the pants line, I use hemostat locking tweezers on the last end of the elastic so it can't accidentally pull through. I just use a pair from the tool shop, not the expensive surgical kind. Also good for clamping onto one side of a seam and hooking the handle onto something stable, then pulling on the other side of the seam to rip it open.
I’m so glad I have all of them.
Thank you! I have your jeans book, but still always enjoy and learn something from your videos.
Back stitching is not necessary for blind hemming?

Hi Johanna. I am a huge fan and adore your great books. Have you updated the above book? As I’ve bought the Janome 3000pro and would love some input from you regarding this machine. Xx
How did you get the correct width underneath turn please
Is it me, or are these videos all cut abruptly short with a little missing at the end at the end?
I agree on the 1230. I've done tons of quilts, cloths and repairs. I did have the board replaced as it only went reverse about 7 years ago. Since then - its fine. Im thinking of getting another new machine. I'm looking at Janome 7. Have you gotten a new machine? Any suggestions? Thank you
