Abi - thank you so much for making a tutorial on sewing knits without a serger, or a walking foot!! That moment when you showed us the walking foot… and then said you are going to sew without it anyway! You are one in a million. Every single tutorial I’ve seen either says ”use a serger! It’ll make everything better!” Or ”nevermind a serger, but you do need a walking foot”. I’m working with a vintage machine from the mid 1970’s. It’s a great machine, but no one makes a walking foot for it. As I can’t afford a serger, I’ve been feeling very discouraged about starting my projects with knits fabrics. Now I can’t wait to start. Thank you so much for these tips!

@AbisDen 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much x I grew up sewing knits on a sewing machine without a walking foot (or serger) . Neither had I heard of before my 30’s. Never had popping stitches. So it’s exciting to share this with you. Good luck and have lots of fun x

@may-marydobie8638 2 года назад

Thank-you for explaining the difference between stretch needles and ballpoint needles.That was such a useful tip xx💖

@sylvial.7272 2 года назад

Yes indeed, it is very helpfull❣

@SusanSmith-hl3iv Год назад

Yes, that was very helpful to me as well. I thought I needed a stretch needle. I’m ready to purchase jersey needles, ball point pins, and a clapper. Thank you so much for this video. So many good tips. I have avoided knits because of the aggravation. Now I know how to remedy some of the problems. Good video: well-produced, efficient with time, and jam packed with do’s and don’t’s.

Extremely helpful video, thank you Abi for being such an awesome teacher.

@noire1001 3 года назад

Wow, some really good tips there. I of course bought stretch needles before seeing this video for an upcoming project, but at least I saw this before actually using them. I'll get some ballpoint needles. Thanks!

@barbaraness4507 Год назад

Very informative video! I’ve been sewing for about 36 years, and have always struggled with stretchy fabric. I’d get the job done, but it wasn’t always as neat as I wanted.

@lisabruce49 2 года назад

Thank you for simply and calmly explaining stretch techniques! I am so intimidated by stretch sewing anything! When I asked for pointers at Joann Fabrics or my friends about sewing stretch fabric, everyone cowered and admitted they avoid it as much as possible.

Stretch fabric is the most versatile fabric and really amazing for so many projects. Be the superstar stretch seamstress and amaze everyone. It’s easy when you know how. Have fun!! ☺️

Hi Abi, I've recently found your channel and just wanted to say a huge thank you. Your channel is great and you have given me inspiration and confidence to tackle stretch fabrics again. I've only sewn stretch fabric once before, on my sewing machine, and it overstretched at the hem. I've just made myself a lightweight sweatshirt in 2 hours using my overlocker and it's perfect. Thank you very much indeed. X

Thank you for the lovely comment. I’m pleased to hear that you have been able to enjoy your sewing 🪡 well done 👍🏽

I just figured out how to sharpen my fabric scissors with a small whet stone! Drop the whet stone into water for one minute then draw the white side at the same angle as the blade(10°) it across the blade for about 3 to 5 minutes then do the same on the coloured side for 2 to 3 minutes........Love your videos Abi

@AbisDen 19 дней назад

Amazing. Thank you. I don’t like to recommend this because get the angle wrong, the scissors are broke for life 😢 I have lost scissors in my learning process. Well done to you and thank you for sharing for those who want to give it a go x

Another great option if you don't have a walking foot is to put a piece of scotch tape on your presser foot and it will help the material slide through.

@howardgoldstein867 Год назад

great video as always...I always slide a small piece of tear away stabilizer under the fabric at the beginning & ending of the seam when using stretch fabrics to keep it from getting "eaten" into the needle hole...

@colleensmith4285 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, after watching your video I just made my first dress using jersey material, all went well until I tried a top stitch using the twin needle for the hem. I did a test but the material keeps tunnelling I’ve used the twin needle that came with my Aldi Necchi machine also tried a twin Schmez ballpoint needle and various tension settings but no joy. Have you any tips to help please.

@jesshothersall 3 года назад

If you put some iron-on hem 'stuff' (can't remember proper name) on the edge, then fold over to same depth, and sew. Just gives it a bit more body to stay flat and you can feel the edge from the top side to stay at the right level.

@miranda6728 Год назад

This video was so helpful!!! How do do a backstitch with a walking foot though? Or what do you recommend instead of a backstitch?

You can’t backstitch with a walking foot but I’ll make a video to show how

Which needle is best for a stretch like a double brushed poly (also known as double brushed DTY) ? I finally understand my overlocker thanks to your tutorials! Thank you so much!!

@AbisDen 2 года назад

I would use a stretch needle as opposed to a jersey(ballpoint) needle. Good luck!

@christinabarnes1105 2 года назад

So what caused your fabric to get stuck when u started to sew?

@alvc22 7 месяцев назад

I'm confused as to why you needed to cut the seam allowance. And also why you didn't overlock the edge? How do you know when to overlock or finish the edge.

@davidbgreensmith 2 года назад

Is there any reason you didn't use a rotary cutter? Also, I saw on another channel a recommendation to use spray starch to combat edge rolling. Do you think that would work for stretch fabric?

@AbisDen 2 года назад

Spray starch would give you a twisted finish to your fabric because you’re making a false flat fabric. I would rather relax the fabric naturally than force it. I didn’t use a rotary cutter because this video is designed for new sewers and most new sewers don’t really know about rotary cutters. That’s a skill in itself
