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.
You gem! That tissue paper tip would have saved me a few bad words if I watched this earlier!
I’ve been sewing off and on for over 25 years. I will be sewing my first knit garment very soon. I’m so glad I watched this video. The tips given are amazing. Thank you ☺️
Easy to understand. No distractions. And to the point! All thumbs up!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
This is the best explanation of sewing with stretch fabric I've seen. Thank you!
Wow I literally would have paid for this info here I just learned so much 😳😳💕
So glad to hear you found it useful!
Thank you for this. I was actually scanning the internet on kinds of needles best for stretch fabric and I stumbled on your video. YOu just taught me so much more than I came for. I'm so happy to have come across this channel. NOTIFICATION ON!!!!!💞💞💞💞
You are so welcome! Glad to hear it was helpful!!😍😍
I watched other videos, but this one is great! Has a lot of details that others didn't! Very informative
Absolutely excellent presentation. Very easy to flow. Great teacher! Thank you!
Fabulous video! Love the content and love the valuable information you’ve provided within a 5 minute video! 👍
I just started to learn about sewing and came across this video! I love ❤️ how you were informative and gave clear direction! Love the tips. Thank you!
This was amazing. So useful. Thank you.
I can't possibly thank you enough.
So easy to flow. Thanks!
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.
Wow. So much information in 5 mins. And understandable.
So helpful! Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you for such great information!
Thank you, loved it 😍
Thank you for providing such an informative and fast video for us!! I agree with a comment that mentioned; you’d usually have to pay to be taught these! So thank you! On to sewing now! 💕
Aww so happy you found this tutorial useful! Good luck with your project!
This was more helpful than any video I've watched. None recommended switching the needle. Also I didn't know about the thread either.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. . .

Thank you so much for all of your advice on sewing stretchy fabrics. I have been putting this off for months because I didn't want to ruin my clothing or get snags in them from the sewing. I will now try your ideas and hope for the best. God Bless!

COOL EXPLANATION
Walking foot works great for knit fabric
Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. I would like to see how you sew hems with the coverstitch machine because you cannot actually see what you are doing.
nice video, i have just a regular old sewing machine without all these settings, may be could try different needle and thread options and test if that would help.
I’ve never watched a CZcams video and needed to pull out a pen and paper 📝 thank you so much for the knowledge! I was ready to throw my machine out the dang window 😂 it just needed a simple needle swap 🤦🏻♀️😂😂 all the other videos I watched were useless, but you, you’re fantastic! Thanks again! 🖤🖤
Hi! So glad to hear our video was helpful! Hope you continue enjoy sewing! 😘😘😘
I was hesitant to give Jersey another try because the first time I tried it, it came out with this hideous frill. But the adorable fabric has sat around sadly since. I'll try your tricks! Thank you for the great advice and demonstration. ♥
Hope you have fun!❤️
I have so many problems with polyester!! I am hemming a bridesmaid for a friend's daughter and don't want to disappoint. You answered every single problem I am having with a short explanation as to why. I'm an educator and am always lookimg for complete explanations. Excellent video!!!
So happy to hear this video could help you out!
Quick question: when stretchy thread is up top, does that mean that stretchy thread should also be in my bobbin
Would like to ask can you make a video about sewing heavy material or think even leather. If possible. And the different way to use a serger.
Good information. Love your poofy sleeve blouse - did you make it?
Thank you , i struggle with binding in this fabric types
You can do it!
can someone hlep? the last tipp.
softlock as shown in the video around 4:25 is that only possible with an overlock maschine?
Or could i do something simmilar clean with a normal one that has some Overlock options?
btw best video for short quick guide ever! love it
Oh yea 😀
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!
Let us know how you did it! 🙌🙌
Hello Ma'am. Thank you very much for this very instructive video. I need help with something. That's the first time I am working with cotton jersey and I am having trouble finding which is the right side. Can you kindly advise? Best regards from Mauritius.
Can you use a starch spray as you sew. So maybe less stretching as you sew.
Can a twin needle be used on any machine, even older vintage ones?
Can you do a video on how to sew strech fabric made from remenats of undetermined fiber because I bout 2 yards (pre-cut) from Walmart and it stretches both ways
❤
Would you recommend the ball or stretch needle for sewing 4-way stretch fabric, stretch lace or mesh?
I feel like basically if you want to see knit fabric you need two extra machines and an entirely different thread/machine/needle set up 😭
Great teacher God bless you for this. Please which types of machines are you using please,
We used a Bernina 570 Quilter's Edition but you can really sew with any standard sewing machine.
How can I cut and see my collar area going from turtle neck to more open collar
I don't have the budget for a high-end sewing machine. Will a basic mending machine still work?
This was super helpful! I knew what thread I should use, but I had no ideas which kind I shouldn't. Sadly, I don't have a sewing machine. Is there a way to sew spandex by hand?
Hi! You can stitch stretch fabrics by hand, but it will be very time consuming😢 That's why we recommend using sewing machines because it will get the job much faster!
I'm trying to sew stretchy Barbie clothes. I can j u s t make the basic seams sit ok but turning over hems are too thick and then the pressure foot won't move. So frustrating. Thanks for the other tips. Sandra
I have a b38 bernette none of these tips worked when sewing hems and too band for elastic on a trilobal fabric - help?!
So how about a caveman sewing project i know nothing abiut running a machine. Simple stretch socks repair by hand with a needle. By hand.
How to do the soft edge with a normal sewing machine please and not a serger machine?
