    I can't say enough nice things about the person making the video. I love that she understands that speaking SLOWLY and CLEARLY is important when instructing the masses, not having distracting long wildly painted fingernails and not being overly chatty just to the point. I will like and follow.

    I cant wait to try this this weekend. I just started learning to sew and I managed to make a very poor bra and panty set using an old stretchy turtleneck sweater and I have cotton thread so I pulled the fabric as I sewed so the stitch would stretch. It was a headache. I wish someone had told me there was thread that also stretched. I was convinced it was just me being to new.

    My problem is the thin 4-way stretch fabric I’m using, because it constantly wants to slip away from the presser foot. It keeps sliding out and getting straight lines is almost impossible. I’m obviously not very experienced with sewing.

    I'm in the middle of make a (possibly ill-conceived) jacket-type top with stretch fabric. The possible ill-conceived part being that it has a lining fabric that isn't stretchy. Not sure that it's going to work out but I want to give it the best chance possible.
    Thanks for the video!
