The best explanation of an understitch. Thanks.
Understitching is like magic!
It truly is! 🪄
I completely agree about understitching! It takes facings etc to the next level. Totally worth the couple of extra minutes it takes, to get a great result 👍
No doubt it's a easy step for great results!
Thank you! It may be optional…but once I did it I never looked back!
Totally!
Thank you for explaining it in a way that I might actually understand. I'll have to try understitching again because I kept feeling like i was doing something wrong. I definitely like knowing about the prick stitch option because hand stitching is my favorite fall back when im struggling with machine sewing.
I have the same gold pin you have on your green coat. I have worn it for years on various occasions. So fun to see you have one, too! ❤. Thank you for the detailed and clear tutorial on understitching. I’ll definitely be using this step in future sewing projects!
Oh now neat that you have the same vintage pin! I often wear it on one coat or another. ☺️ And you're very welcome!

Great demo. I've used understitching for years and it is just second nature now. Since I have become a quilter, it is useful when binding quilts with zig-zag edges by clipping inner corners and prick stitching to make nicer turns. Thanks for refreshing our sewing skills.
Definitely sounds like a good use for it! For sure doesn't need to be limited to garments alone, it's just what I sew most. ☺️
Thank you for this video! I have just started sewing again after years, and appreciate a video that gives me techniques for a well made garment. I have to let you know that the duck billed scissors I saw in a previous video. After CUTTING my shirt trying to grade a seam, I IMMEDIATELY bought myself a pair!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! 👏✨🧵♥
You’re so welcome! And I’m so sorry about your shirt! I’m still so careful with duckbill scissors because they help a TON but I don’t want to get cocky and complacent on accident. 🤣
@@tashacouldmakethat Oh, ABSOLUTELY!!
Already an understitching Stan, but can’t wait to try the couture/hand version! Thanks❤
Thank you, that was easy to understand, compared to other videos I've seen.
So glad to hear, thanks! 😊
What a fabulous video! Thank you for your insights to understitching. Learnt a lot 😊
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
😂Thank you for this video! The first time I understitched a neckline on a particular dress pattern, the shape was difficult to work with. I'm making it again right now and will try doing it by hand or understitching earlier in construction.
You're welcome! Yes, the control you can get by hand can really come in handy! (No pun intended 🤣)
helpful. thanks for prick stitch demo.
You're welcome!
Hi. Thank you so very much. I put this video right in my favorites on my computer. You are a great teacher. Have a nice day.
Thank you! ☺️
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you!
I didn't realize the edge stitch foot was a common thing unless one has a quilting machine... I don't think I've ever actually used mine. I just occasionally notice it and think "oh! That would be handy!"
I’ve never had an edge foot, I use a zipper foot, great for edges.
Yep that works too. I thought about showing it with a zipper foot as well but figured it was starting to be too many options to show. 🤣
Next to my walking foot my edge stitch foot is my favorite! Absolutely love it, I find it so helpful.
Oh thank you so much for this. I needed this exact video. ❤ Love that prick stitch as well. Thank you.
You’re welcome, happy it came at a good time! And I love that little prick stitch too. 🙂
Great tutorial!!! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Magnificent content as always! So helpful and well explained. And, can I ask, what nail polish is this??
You rock :)
Thank you! 😃
👏👏👏
Thank you!!!
