For cryin' out loud!! This video is fantastic! Excellent instructions, explanations, and visuals. You raised the bar so high that no one can get anywhere near it. Thank you, Karina!
Limitless sewing options! Hurray for Karina! I love to sew with knits of all types & this video has just raised my game. So many hints and tips that are really useful and gives us confidence to adapt techniques and finishes to make our project unique. So generous of you to take such time and trouble to make high quality videos & showcase your high quality garments ❤❤❤
I thought of you today when I was unpicking a too short neckband. I should have followed your advice and measured the pattern pieces instead of blithely following the pattern! 😂 I have learned my lesson!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I love when you show us how to do a particular treatment to a project! So so (sew) helpful. Thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks 😊
Thank you for sharing these techniques. The mystery behind determining the perfect length neckband for fabrics with varying degree of stretch has now been clarified for me. You are doing a wonderful job. I am now more confident sewing with knits and no longer feel they are out of my league.
Oh my gosh Karina, what a fabulous video! I am going to go through it again and make ALL THE NOTES! I always learn something when I watch your videos, but this was chock full! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!
This video is the best explanation on necklines, binding etc. I use your method and successfully sewed my 1st neckband! I'm so thrilled. Love your videos. You are so knowledgeable. keep up the good work. So glad I found your channel.
Love your videos! Very helpful and loaded with great ideas. I plan on coming back to this video. I am wrapping up the Mirri dress and enjoyed your video for that make. Those neckline corners were getting me. I appreciated knowing I was doing it right ha lol…
Now I understand why my neckband was too small. I measured at the edge. Thank you!! I just made a muslin for a knit top that I drafted from a RTW top. I added a neckband but didn't like the look. I just ended up turning the whole thing to the inside and top stitched it down. I think doing the double fold binding will give me the look I want. Perfect timing for this Master Class! I'm saving this video to my library for future reference. I'm certain I will be watching it often as I am just getting started with knits. Thank you for your thorough explanations and examples with actual garments. Karina, no one else puts out such excellent content. You really teach us rather than just show. I can't tell you how much my sewing has improved with your guidance. ❤️
And a master class it was, simply amazing Karina. I absolutely adore your videos, your clear and precise instruction, and all the different options you provide for us poor beginner + medium + advanced sewists. You have something for all of us and I always learn something new and then incorporate it into my next sewing pattern. I saved this video and many others from your classes and will get back to them again and again. You make sewing simple but fun, and I just love how precise you are and going the extra mile to hand bast your necklines and armholes. My Mama taught me the same way and I still implement it today.
Thank you! I am working on sewing a cute doggie jacket, and I did not understand the instructions for how to sew a neckline at all. This helped me a great deal. Cute chihuahua coat here I come!
Thank you! One place for all the neckline and armhole information! Also adding no the text on the screen is helpful so I can scroll to the exact part! Excellent!
I will see these bands instead of folded hems. This looks so amazing. Jersey knit is my favorite fabric to sew. I know it's the difficult fabric but I love it.
This is so useful & helpful, especially the tip on hand basting the bindings & using a 1/4” foot, it will save me so much time seam ripping. I’m calling hand basting my new sewing super power lol. I’ve always thought it took too much time but it actually saves time redoing things.
I hate the math, too busy. I do all my calculations with my measuring tape. Double the amount, fold in quarters, etc... Works all the time. I am a subscriber and I do enjoy your videos. BTW, I've been sewing for 55 yrs.
Hi thank so much for this great help with stretchy neckbands e t c. I’ve had trouble with this before, now I’ll buy some more jersey fabrics. Thank you again.
Thank you another great video full of useful information. You explain it so well ,it shows that you enjoy what you do. Hope you and family are still keeping safe .
Thanks Karina! I'm feeling very prepared for making some knits tops. I appreciate your time pulling this together. My confidence for doing nice necklines was holding me back.
Thank you so much for this video. It’s been so helpful for me. I love the percentages. I guesstimate the length of my bindings which doesn’t always give me the result I’m hoping for. All your videos are so helpful but this one I really needed.
I guesstimate many things in my sewing but bands and binding I prefer to be more exact about and it saves some seam ripping time :) I’m glad this helps.
Thanks again Karina! I pretty much know what I am doing, but I always come check out what you have to say when I am about to start projects. You often either show me, or remind me of an alternate way to do something..in this case binding/neck bands. Still working away at that capsule for Mexico. I had an internet technician in to do some repairs today and he had to go into my sewing room. He was pretty impressed with the projector set up.
Amazingly detailed video. Learned so much! I wondered if you would consider doing a video on different types of hems in the future? Thanks for sharing all your sewing knowledge. ♥♥♥
Thank you for showing all these options in one video. I have struggled with so many bindings/bands and this video just put it into a perfect sequence for my brain to hold onto. It is wonderful to find someone who teaches the same way I learn. Thanks again!!
What a wonderful video! Thank you so much. I’m going to watch it again and take notes. I am so happy to hear someone say that they don’t like top stitching. I hate it and I’m not good at it either. So thank you for that.
I finish all my sleeves with an armband because I think it’s a more finished look. I didn’t know to measure along the seam allowance. Thanks for that information.
This will be my go-to reference from now on as I had gone with 80% or followed pattern recently and had not great results. You have clarified why variations in % I had also been measuring the edge and wondered why my calculation varied from pattern too. all this excellent content for free.
Thank you for such a helpful vlog, Karina! This will be a great reference for future sewing - it's just too easy to forget any of the important details so important for a good result. Thanks again!
For cryin' out loud!! This video is fantastic! Excellent instructions, explanations, and visuals. You raised the bar so high that no one can get anywhere near it. Thank you, Karina!
Thank you for your excellent content. Please know that we appreciate your creativity, hard work, and commitment!

You speak so well and clearly and concisely! God bless you for this video!❤
You edit and structure your videos very professionally!
Thank you for this video instruction. Just what I needed! 😊
I thought of you today when I was unpicking a too short neckband. I should have followed your advice and measured the pattern pieces instead of blithely following the pattern! 😂 I have learned my lesson!
I should have watched this before I attached the neckline and sleevless arm bindings. I will be picking mine out!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I love when you show us how to do a particular treatment to a project! So so (sew) helpful.
Thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks 😊

Perfect teaching. Yes, I did write down your recommendations and they will hang on my wall - for easy reference. Thanks a lot!
Your classes are amazing. The best I have seen for knits. THANK YOU.
I loved this video. It is so helpful. Thanks Karina
This video was amazing. I am a beginner, self taught and didn't know there were so many ways to bind. So happy I found this video.
I finish all my sleeves with an armband because I think it’s a more finished look. I didn’t know to measure along the seam allowance. Thanks for that information.
Thank you!
Hi wow, I had no idea there were so many different ways of finishing necklines, thank you so much again.
This will be my go-to reference from now on as I had gone with 80% or followed pattern recently and had not great results. You have clarified why variations in % I had also been measuring the edge and wondered why my calculation varied from pattern too. all this excellent content for free.
Very well done. Thanks I have taken many helpful notes. Christine
