Super! I'm happy it has helped. you.

@@londasews I found some nice fabric and made pillow yesterday. I was so excited and then saw the Ugly corners. I was so disappointed.

@@superfly3990 Did you use my technique? It sure should have worked..... Are they adequately 'stuffed'? Depending on the fabric, and edge treatment, you may need to 'stuff out' the corners with additional stuffing.

@@londasews I will be giving your technique a try today. While I was studying my pillow with the Ugly Corners I was thinking about giving the middle sections "Love Handles." Sort of the opposite of your "Corner Tuck" technique. As soon as I saw your solution, and the other tips "Tight Sizing" I knew immediately that you had figured it out. Thank you so much ! I'll let you know how I did.

Yes Mam - I just double-checked, and that is what I did i the video - though the stitch length that you are using will determine that.

Thank you so much. It’s hard for me to see sometimes on the small screen. 😊

Thank you. My friend sent me your link and even though I’ve sewn for over 50 years I’ve already learned so much. On the buttonholes I always made mine manually because that’s how I learned and I never could get my attachment to work I thought. I didn’t realize it would stop on its own, so of course after the first buttonhole the rest were awful! Thank you for sharing your astounding knowledge. : )

I believe I always start on the front single notch, then work my way around, past that starting point and then a bit towards the cut edge up to the back double notch so that the underarm area is stitched securely twice. I hope that answers your question.

I'm happy it helped you! Thanks for your comment.

Kai 5135 is just a smaller scissors thatn Kai 5165. I have and use them both DAILY! Get both!

Thanks - I just shared as I was taught by the experts in the field.

I would be SURE to not have the zipper come anywhere close to the corner, regardless. Instead, I add width to the back of a pillow in the center of the back (or close to an edge - up to you), then insert a zipper with a lapped application. I just looked at one of mine, and it has a 1" overlap over the zipper. Wish I could attach a picture, but don't see that is possible. Contact me through my website www.londas-sewing.com and I'll be happy to share it with your privately.

I"m 'sew' glad this helped you. I'm always open to suggestions for new videos - feel free to contact me with your ideas! www.londas-sewing.com

If that works for you - fine. To me, that seems a bit dangerous. I always say - the way YOU"ve figured out is the best way for YOU.

Thank you. You, sire have a definite way with words - I hope you do some writing!

The Comment that came to me from you asked for a link to my DVD on sewing on knits - here it is, and it is not sold out - I was able to put it in my shopping cart without an issue.... www.londas-sewing.com/product-page/stretching-your-knit-sewing-know-how-with-londa

@@londasewsThank you so much for your prompt personal response! I found that if I signed up & signed in on the website that I was able to place the order. I'm looking forward to the DVDs

YES!!! It WILL work. I promise. Take OUT those gathering stitches and make your FINGERS mush it in every single stitch. Cut some PRACTICE garments. What is the pattern number? Some patterns DO give just too much height to get in properly - and the fabric determines alot as well. I was making a suit when I was taught this - as I share in my video. Watch the video over and over... especixlly starting at 1:54 forward. Good luck!

@londasews it's mccalls m4745 a civil war jacket. I'm modifying it for a Red Dwarf Cosplay . The Character I'm doing is Rimmer his series X to XII is similar to a star wars imperial officer so this pattern seemed like a good start for modifying. This is only my second ever sewing project so it's fun learning. Thankyou for your advice , at present I can't seem to get it bunching but practice and all that.

You are very brave and I applaud you - GO FOR IT - just practice!

​@londasews thank you my only problem now is I don't have a slow stitch on this brother LS14 , it very beginner.

Watch this video:as it shows off features that I think you'd find VERY helpful if you are really serious about this. The current model, while sporting all the SAME features is aqua and called the Charlotte. Video: czcams.com/video/NU_5oCs_mlw/video.html Machine at my website - and I'd do a zoom call with you to 'train' you on it as part of the purchase price. www.londas-sewing.com/product-page/charlotte-sewing-machine-from-eversewn

That's sad! Do this and write me back at londasews@gmail.com: Thread with different colors in the needle and the bobbin, then observe which thread is nesting on the bottom!

of course not.

WEll - you made my day - week - month! Thank you for your kind words. PLEASE email me at londasews@gmail.com with any suggestions you might have for future videos. Turning 72 the end of this month, I'm likely closing down my 'business' of selling my books, DVDs, and notions and going only to commissioned upcycle pieces and teaching here in my home studio and via videos. For now - check out my website for a few more weeks at: www.londas-sewing.com SHOP at Close-outs! I bet you'd enjoy my DVDs

Thank you for taking time to share that you do the same - and the small differences.

Thanks for taking time to Comment - makes my DAY that you found me and it solved your problem.

for sure - any corner in a puffed 'anything' that you want to look square and not pointed is my opinion. Thanks for writing.

Let me know if it works for you. Remember to steam at the end!

Thanks! Honestly - I've put up about everything I can come up with - so I"m eager for your suggestions! Please contact me through my website: www.londas-sewing.com THANKS!

I know exactly how you feel - I felt the same when shown by the lady I tribute in the video. NO MORE 'ease-stitching!' I'm glad you found me, and if you have any additional topics, skills for which you need a video, please contact me.

You're a gem Londa! I most certainly will contact you with any further skills/help with other sewing situations. Thank you kindly!

Thank YOU for taking time to write. I do hope you explore ALL of my videos. If you need to learn something not included, just send me an email at: londasews@gmail.com with your suggestion.

Needles are specific for the type of fabric or task you are doing. Look for my video on needle and thread selection.

@@londasews thank you 🤺💐

No - you don't need to stitch a bottom stop. It is vitally important to press the roll of the invisible zipper OUT so that you can get close to the coil. Lay the zip right side down on the right side of the fabric right on the 5/8" line. You might find it hepful to baste the zip in place. Try those things...

It is always best to split the difference, altering at numerous places rather than all at one place. If there is shaping to the pant leg, you'll want to maintain that shape by shortening both above the knee and below the knee.

@@londasews thanks, that’s what I was thinking

Yes, setting in a sleeve with a French Seam IS actually is possible. Use this same technique, but WRONG sides together to start, and in a 3/8" seam, then trim close, press right sides together, and do it again. A man's shirt is inserted with a flat fell seam.
