God, I wish all sewing tutorials were this clear! Amazing job!

[@rileym4056]

Great tutorial!
Took me so long as a newbie to understand that something called “facing” was not something you should see on the garment! It makes sense now, but I was so lost when I started

[@breannap8585]

Perfect! Quick, simple, easy to follow even for a beginner like me. Thank you!

[@karennelson4108]

Thank you! Simple, clear and easy to follow. And my fave thing is no silly and unnecessary hand movements which so so so so many CZcamsrs are doing recently. Fantastic. Thank you again.

[@user-js4pj5lx1d]

Excellent. Simple, clear and nit overlords as these clips usually are

[@user-js4pj5lx1d]

OVER WORDY!! NOT!!!

[@TaDarling1]

Great video. Very succinct and straight to the point. One thing I'm noticing about doing understitching is that the more I do it, the better I get at it and it does make my finished garment look so professional!

[@yukiostrachan2048]

Great video with explanation. Thank you for this!

[@chrisdale5938]

So simple when it's explained so succinctly.

Thank you! I've watched two videos that are just visual.. no explanation. I don't know what they're doing!! This was very helpful, you saved me from making some grave mistakes!

[@rabbit0664]

This was actually pretty helpful. Thanks

[@orinnoco2919]

excellent! I just did basic garment construction and the teacher's method is almost the same but yours is better! very clear and precise! love your explanation!

[@grtchldy6561]

I have a question. 🙋‍♀️
It would help a lot if you share as I’m stuck on a project..
What’s the white inner lining called? Where would I find it?
