Hello beautiful people! We apologize if the background music is too loud. Rest assured that we are working on adjusting the volume of our videos. You can also watch our other videos for more sewing tips and tricks!
YES, when you're trying hard to learn something, silence is golden. But when you're just watching for inspiration, music can help get you in the mood!
if the music was not so high pitched and fast tempo, maybe it wouldn't compete with your voice as much, and lower volume, too
@@judymiller5154 Thank you for the feedback!
No music please. Thanks
Agree, music is distracting
Thank you, very helpful.... but I did struggle to hear you because of the music.
Thank you for the feedback! We'll take note. You can also watch our other videos for more tips and tricks.
Can’t watch this. Music is so very distracting 😢
You can turn the volume down and turn cc on (closed captions), problem solved.
The music was a little too loud. But …….. Very helpful. Thank you. Excellent video.
We appreciate your feedback! Will adjust the music next time. Thank you for watching. 🥰🥰🥰
I totally agree. It was distracting.
Just quit the music, so much more pleasant to watch. Espesially for people (like me) who normaly don't speak English and have to listen very carefully and the music is very distracting then. Otherwise good instruction videos.
It was definitely quite loud compared to her soft voice. I think this was the first CZcams video I've ever wished I could mute🙈
After years of struggling I've finally found the solution. Thank you so much. Can't wait to try my next project. Love from Guyana 🇬🇾
We are so glad we helped you find a solution! Keep going! 🧵
Perfect! Exactly what I needed. It also helped that you are using the exact same machine I have! Thank you so much!
OMG the music
Wonderful tip! So light and friendly. Beautiful, intelligent presence. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Your video was helpful. I appreciate it. The music was irritating. Your voice is very nice. You don’t even need music. Maybe leave it off. Thank you for helping us with the tension on stretchy fabric.
That machine also has a presser foot pressure adjustment. If it is too much pressure it will make fabric wonky and too little pressure and seam line will be crooked. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks so much for this sharing! Keep sewing and thanks for supporting our channel!
Yes this is what's plauguing me on my machine🙈
Great video but the music is very irritating. Thanks anyway.
Your content is excellent. Thanks for the tutorial to help make my stretchy seams less wavy. It never occurred to me to adjust the stitch length. Thank you!
When you change the tension or length try to show the change rather than focusing only on your fabric
I was looking for help with this issue. I came across your video. Thank you. You are a very good instructor/teacher. It has been a while and I needed a refresher. I have sewn for many years.
The fabric I'm trying to hem and repair is already running. Hoping a new hem will keep it from running or raveling.
Your voice is beautiful.
To me the music was annoying.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We are glad to help the sewing community worldwide in whatever way we can. Stretch fabric is a different ball game after all 🧵
Thanks for your music feedback too 🙏🏻
Great video and exactly what I needed. I don't have a walking foot and won't anytime super soon. I don't mind the music. I could hear ever word you said clear and perfect. Thank you!!
Glad to help! Thank you for watching 😊
The music was a little distracting for me. I’m glad it didn’t bother you. I do appreciate the video ❤
Thank you.We learn a lot
Amazing! Now I get it why the hem was wavy a bit!! Although I used size 3 in stitch. Thanks for the help :)
Most welcome for the solutions we provided you! 🧵 Keep going!
This video is exactly what I needed! I’m currently sewing on a Singer machine that is about 60 yrs old. I bought a new sewing machine exactly like yours about 5 yrs ago and I’m afraid to use it. It’s still in the box. Lol Thank you so much for the info.
most welcome! definitely give your sewing machine some test runs on normal fabric first before attempting stretch fabrics!
Ive been experimenting and trying to make my own bikini and its my first time to make one. Your video really help me to figure out the tension and the right lenght for spandex thank you so much!❤
Aww 🥰 We are so glad you found our video helpful! Spandex material sewing is our speciality 🧵 Keep sewing and stay tuned for more sewing videos!
Thank you for the help! 💕
Glad to help! You can also watch our other videos for more sewing tips and tricks!
I'm taking sewing classes right now and I'm not very good at all. This is so helpful. Thank you very much ♥️
You're welcome! You can also watch our other sewing videos for helpful tips.
The music volume wasn't the problem. It was the instrument in the music that caused irritation. Just an FYi
@@Flielow We will take note. Thank you for the feedback!
Great tips !
Thank you! So helpful because I have the same machine!
Glad it helped! Keep sewing, and please subscribe to our channel! 🧵

Most welcome! 🤩
Thank you for explaining tension. This is the only video I have watched that tension now makes sense to me.
You are most welcome! Keep going 🧵
The video is great and your voice soothing 😄
Thank you for watching!
I use antique sewing machines, for instance my favorite is a Singer from the early 1900’s with a hand crank 😊. What is “tension” in this instance? I’m torn between 1) How you stretch the fabric under the needle or 2) How hard the foot is pressing down?
Hey we aren’t sure about antique sewing machines, hope you figure it out!
Thank you, I could not get the straight stitch to go right on my jersey fabric but after changing the tension it is perfect!. My only criticism on you video is the music, as I found it hard to hear you over it.
Happy to help! And thank you for the feedback. We'll make sure to adjust the volume next time.
Pay A Tension!
hahaha good one!
Thank you very helpful, how do you keep from your sewing machine catching the material in the teeth ? Been learning on my own but not sure if I need to buy a better machine or what kind , I have a brother SN 530 T I always fight to get my material to glide threw . Thank you very much.
Hi Cynthia! Choose a footer that helps, we recommend the footers we sell, or you might be able to find it in your local sewing supplies store. Another trick is to give a bigger seam allowance or use a piece of paper underneath that would help prevent all these from happening. Try it and let us know how it works!!
I just saw the suggestion to put tissue paper under the fabric. it easily tears off after stitching.
Hello , Thanks for the amazing video , can you please suggest what type of thread should be used while stitching Lycra?
polyester nylon (: xx
I enjoyed your video but I can’t understand when you have music playing. It is very distracting to me. Please no music I need the guidance.
Your video is very helpful. Can you please tell me which thread is to be used in stretchy fabric. Is 100% polyester thread ok to use ?
Absolutely! 👍🏻
Hi! Thank you for these instructions about tension. I've always done it by trial and error, and it would take forever to finally hit upon the right combination. I'm not a seamstress-- I only use my machine occasionally. I have a question. When I was learning to sew a long, long time ago, I was taught that when sewing stretchy or knit fabrics, I needed to pull/stretch the fabric as I was stitching. I noticed that you did not do that on your sample pieces of fabric. Is pulling on it just not necessary?
You dont want to pull the main fabric, only the ribbing.
@@pernilleaar8558 What is the "ribbing"? Is it the edge only?
@@SisterBaby ribbing is what would be used for neckbands and cuffs... Some people stretch the fabric when they want to use a straight stitch because if u don't, the seam will pop once the garment is worn. You don't have to stretch the fabric if use a stretch stitch (any zig zag or the triple stitch) or if you use a serger. You actually dont want to stretch your fabric if you're using the correct stitch because it will cause wavy seams. I hope this helped.
Hey Canny! Glad you have found this sewing video most useful! You dont need to keep going through trial and error, there are better ways to sew. Our online courses go through that because sewing SHOULD NOT be frustrating!! Sandra has gone through all the frustrations, so really, there's no need to put yourself through it. in essence, some fabrics would require stretching and some dont. It depends on the fabric, mainly how soft the fabric is. Ultimately, you need to be the judge but just bear in mind that over stretching the fabric is a problem. The seams will start to wave and that's not what you want, you always need a strong seam!! This reply should answer your questions, feel free to hit us up anytime!
Hello what kind of thread did you use in the video?Am sewing swimsuit with lycla and it gives me hard time with it waving and the fabric sticking in my walking foot
Great video btw, I love how you explain the two main concepts!
Polyester thread, but would suggest you change your footer to the same one we use! It is called a teflon foot, you can find it in your local sewing store or we also sell it on our website www.freemovementsg.com Walking foots can be hard to work with stretchy fabric. Very happy you found this video useful!! xx
Yay top 98 and top 22 likes and comments. Love sewing videos even though I haven't touched a sewing machine in months. Bloody hard to get motivated to sew anything. I almost bought some fabric day before yesterday to turn into family cloth, but I'm so blocked that I can't even make myself sew a simple square piece of fabric. What do you do when you're blocked?
I go and clean my machine and organise my threads and fabics. Sounds crazy but works for me
I get the same way, not just with sewing, but with hobbies/crafts. One thing I do that sometimes (!) helps motivate me is to find something I really, really like the looks of, and then watch some CZcams videos like this one. THE MORE I SEE THE THING DONE CORRECTLY AND SKILLFULLY, THE MORE MOTIVATED I GET TO TRY IT MYSELF! But it has to be a project that really appeals to me and that I really like the look of. Don't feel bad, tho'. Sometimes we just find ourselves in the doldrums, as my Mom used to say, but keep on the lookout for something that really inspires you and then watch someone doing it skillfully. (Just don't be like me and sometimes try stuff that is WAY beyond your skill level, because that'll frustrate you and you'll think, "Boy, I stink at this; I may as well give up.")
just play with scraps so you dont feel pressure it has to turn out a certain way. we lose confidence if its been a while since we 've done a task, so give yourself some warm-up time. 😊
Do you have the dual feed engaged when working with stretchy fabrics?
if you have it for your machine, use it! Singer heavy duty doesnt have it. Would love to try a sewing machine with dual feed one day though xx
Nice video. My problem with hemming stretch knits it that it both stretches and it comes out wavy. What do you suggest?
Simple, follow the instructions as per our video!
Thanks for the information.It was very helpful. I could really do without ANY background music. It's not necessary, in my opinion
Hello, I am having trouble sewing stretchy fabric onto stiff fabric. For example, for a project I'm currently working on I need to sew spandex onto canvas. The presser foot causes the spandex to stretch on top of the canvas and I have to fold it over where it gets bunched up in order to keep the length consistent. I tried adjusting the tension and stitch length but it didn't help. Is there any way to fix this?
great question! here's your perfect solution! czcams.com/video/h4AlAEOEgS8/video.html
So I don't need an Even Feed Foot or ball needles?
Stretch needles are ballpoint needles 😊 freemovementsg.com/collections/sewing-accessories
Thank you so much for this excellent video! Wondering if you could remove the music please as it's very distracting and unnecessary, it's good to just hear your instructions. I'm deaf in one ear so find myself really paying close attention to hear your words. Thank you :)
You are most welcome! 🧵 We definitely take note of the feedback on the audio part, please stay tuned for our other videos!
Good evening. Please can a hand sewing machine be used to sew a Spandex?
thats a great thought, but no!
I am using a brother cs6000i and My stretch fabric keeps getting stuck under the feed dog. I have stretch thread and I even tried pulling on the fabric slightly to try to get it to stay (even though you are not technically supposed to do that). Any fixes?
what kind of stretch thread do you use? You dont need stretch thread. perhaps leave more allowance at the beginning and end of fabric to allow yourself more practice legroom.
Do you use a walking foot with this? A stretch needle?
Yes indeed! No walking foot but definitely stretch needle 👍🏻 freemovementsg.com/collections/sewing-accessories
Hi. Is there a specific needle to use with stretchy fabric?
Hi Veronica, yes we recommend our stretch needles to sew stretch fabrics perfectly! freemovementsg.com/collections/all-sewing-supplies/products/product
Hi! I have a few questions…
1. What needle are you using?
2. What threat are you using?
3. My machine (threat) gets stuck.. what’s wrong?
4. Sometimes the threat won’t stitch at al.. what’s wrong?
5. What stitch do I need? Straight or zig zag?
6. When I do zig zag, it looks nothing like zig zag… I think because of the tension?
Thanks in advance?
hey we recommend our stretch needles: freemovementsg.com/collections/all-sewing-supplies/products/product
for threads, chekc out our other video: czcams.com/video/IRDNVRsbGhU/video.html
once you follow our setup for your sewing machine to sew stretch fabrics, you will realise that it will work much better. All the best!
are u using a regular straight stitch?
Yes! ❤
What presser foot u using? Thank u
our smooth glider teflon foot! freemovementsg.com/collections/all-sewing-supplies/products/7301p-7301pw?variant=41138608570557
What to do when the edge started running /raveling and needs hemming?
we have another youtube video where we use a trick, paper! can check that video out!
You didn't talk about the needle. Shouldn't that be a ball point needle
But when you pull from each end it will break all the threads
Why do you prefer the singer heavy duty model over others?
heavy duty engine!
I am hemming a dance costume made of stretch mesh fabric. Current hem is lettuce stitch. Young lady wants the hem evened up -it's a high/low hem. What is best way to hem on regular machine [Janome]. She said she doesn't care if not a lettuce hem. HELP
Hi there, thanks for your message about sewing dance costumes! Keep up your good work 🧵
What do you mean by what it evened up? A lettuce stitch means that the fabric is still the same length, so by evening it up you mean you want to remove the lettuce stitch?
Thank you. That background music overwhelms your voice.
Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻 Keep sewing 🧵
How can I over cast a tshirt material?
we have so many videos you can reference!
Very informational. Background music was a little too loud making it hard to hear talking.
Please, turn the music volume down so we can hear you better!!
Hi. Thanks for watching! We'll take note of your feedback. Stay safe!
Do I nead a special neadle?
yes you do need stretch needles: freemovementsg.com/collections/all-sewing-supplies/products/product
Do I need special needle

shouldn't you sew spandex with zig zag stitch??
sure, but you will also need straight stitches yeah.
My straight stitches always break with elastane
I’m using very thin jersey fabric.what is bast way to sew it
Do watch our other video on how to sew stretch fabric 🧵 Thanks for supporting our channel! 🙏🏻
Music?
Very nice tutorial. Just one little turn off: ghe background music is too loud. My attention was kind of disturbed by it. Thanks agsin.
Thank you for your feedback, as well as your kind words. Keep sewing 🧵
How do I stich with neoprene for dresses my needle keeps un threading and won’t stitch 😢
Hi love, with neoprene fabric you need stretch needles like that we use here:
freemovementsg.com/collections/sewing-accessories
It will be sure to work with no skipped stitches 😊
I'm surprised that the needle size and type wasnt mentioned.
Music is off putting.
Check our description yeah
I have been sewing for more than 60 years. Here is a hint. SLOW DOWN. When yo sew so fast, your hands lose control or possibly drag and stretch the fabric a little.
great tip!! thanks for sharing Karen! (:
I love watching you, I’ve learned tons of good stuff, but please turn off that music it’s so distracting.😌
Thank you for watching! We'll make sure to adjust the volume of our background music next time.
Distracting music, why?
Love the video but was very distracted by the music. I wish the music was not on the video
Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏻
OMG the music 😮💨 why?!
I love your tutorials,but that music is just much, I can’t concentrate on what your sayin , I’m sorry but I had to switch off, it’s nothing personal I think your great ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the feedback. We'll do better moving forward. 😊
The music in the background is disturbing!! Bad!
We'll do better moving forward. Thank you for the feedback.
Such a shame…. the music volume drive me mad and was distracting from your tuition so I gave up on watching after a couple of minutes! Any chance you could post a music-free version please? I’ve a feeling the tuition would be very good
Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏻 Hope you find our subsequent videos helpful 🧵
You can use AI split stems to separate audio from music, moises is good. You can reupload video without the music after splitting the audio tracks and removing the music
Good tutorial....but the music very annoying
Hard to hear with background music too loud.
Thanks for your feedback! Hope the video was still useful 🧵
The background music on this video is too loud, and quite maddening since it’s playing on a loop.
Thank you for the feedback.
I love your video content and your presentation. However, I could do better without the music while you are talking. Maybe it's because I wear hearing aids - I don't know. In the beginning I could hear your voice louder and the music less. Don't get me wrong - I love the music but it makes it hard for me to hear and understand what you are conveying. I wish that there was a music/no music option. Thank you for making the video.
Thanks for the feedback! ❤️ We are working on all of this for all our other videos. Please continue to subscribe to our channel for more sewing tips and tutorials 🙏🏻
I’m hearing impaired, and cannot really hear you, as the music is too loud! 😞
We're sorry about that. We will take note of your feedback and do better moving forward.
😊I wish you would put an Arabic translation 😊
Hope you still found it helpful! 🧵
Yes ditch the music
The music is very distracting. No music would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻🧵
No music please
Thanks for the feedback!
Music a bit load
Back ground music is very distracting
Thank you for the feedback! Rest assured that we are working on adjusting the volume of our background music :)
The background music is terrible for concentrating!!
Hello beautiful
So annoying music. Switch it OFF
Thank you for watching!
We'll take note of your feedback. Thank you.
You offered important info, however please point out on your machine your tension and stitch length settings each time, since you pointed out how important these settings are. Saying setting too tight or too short isn't enough information if you haven't shown us what that setting is you are referring to. You have so much potential for having GREAT videos, remember your audience needs you to explain and SHOW us to what you are referring. Don't leave us to guess. Good luck with future videos.
Thanks for the feedback and encouragement! You keep on sewing too! 🧵
Wondering why everyone puts music. Hard to hear and hard to stand it.
We removed the background music on our other videos, you can check that out too 🙂
Omg! The music…
Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏻 Hope you find our subsequent videos helpful 🧵
The background music is so overpowering that it is interfering with the vocal instructions. I really wanted to watch this but couldn't because of this.
Thank you for the feedback. You can watch our other videos for more sewing tips and tricks.
