Another video with super loud music that does not let you focus on what is being said. Do the videos require to have background music? I'll be fine with just the voice since it's a video tutorial.
I found the speech and background sound very poorly balanced. The music was very intrusive and the speech rather fuzzy in comparison. Speech alone would be far better.
Hi there. thank you for a good tutorial. I hope you don’t mind me commenting on something that you won’t realise is a problem for many people. The background music is far too loud to be able to hear your words properly. I wear hearing aids for a MILD hearing loss and anyone who wears them will tell you that hearing when there is a background noise is very difficult. I hope this feedback helps you with your future.
What do you do if the serged portion of the hem separates or pulls away from the garment piece? If their a way to work around this? I know I am not the only one with this problem!
I followed all the settings in my Babylock imagine serger manual and my rolled hem on silk chiffon looks like a lettuce edge. How do i keep it from doing that?
Thank you so, so much for this beginner friendly tutorial! Most sewing tutorials just casually mention to "just finish it off with a simple rolled hem" but don't explain how!
Wow! I've just completed an entire project with the most awful attempt at overlocking with a sewing machine. Watching you use chiffon without your fabric gathering on you was a joy! I am so glad someone did a video using lightweight fabric. Thank you thank you x
There is no necessity for music, it is very distracting, and completely unnecessary. A clear explanation of the process and good quality video is enough- your viewers will highly appreciate it. Thank you
Thank you for your comment. We have received this input from other viewers and have made adjustments in our later videos so that the music is no longer distracting.
Hope you enjoyed today’s video on Hemming chiffon✨ Let us know in the comment which techniques you would like to see next❣️ Material Lists 0:30 Using Serger 01:32 Using Domestic Sewing Machine 02:30
Interesting that you recommended Invisafil thread for two things on the serger but Wonderfil Thread current thread chart doesn’t list Invisafil for the serger. Your testing proved otherwise back then or Invisafil isn’t for today’s (2024) sergers.
I love watching a video with quality stitching. Great Job! I had learned this about 40 years ago in college and forgetten. Now i have a skirt to hem for my mother, that is very light weight like chiffon, and to add to the problem it is pleated in tiny tiny pleats all the way... I didn't want to touch it until I could remember how to achieve a good hem outcome. You helped me remember what it was i learned so many years ago.. Thanks so very much and keep teaching these wonderful techniques which seem to be lost to most sewers today. (plus helps refresh the memory of us old ones). LOL
thanks for filming with good lighting! the quality of your video is so beneficial when trying to see such small details clearly! (so many other channels have such poor lighting that the instructional videos are mostly useless). great job!!!
After we received a lot of comments on the music being so loud on the background, we've been trying to adjust it on our recent videos so it's not so disturbing anymore :)
Thank you for the video. I am keen to try Wonderfil for the first time as I am about to tackle hemming silk chiffon. In terms of a serger rolled hem could I get away with just using the Invisafil in the lower looper rather than buying Decobob for the lower looper? What is the advantage of using Decobob in the lower looper?
You can get away with using InvisaFil in the lower loopers as well. It was our preference to use DecoBob in the lower looper as it's just a little stronger than InvisaFil (80wt as opposed to 100wt), but it won't make a huge difference at the end of the day. Good luck with your hemming and let us know if you have any other questions!
Yes, you just want to choose a colour of the thread that matches more closely to the colour of the fabric. Even basic colours like grey or tan will still blend into most coloured fabrics, so the match doesn't need to be super close.
We used a 3 thread rolled them stitch. We didn't need to change any of the settings on our machine, but every serger is different. The only way to know is to do a test stitch on a similar type of fabric and see how it stitches out. If you're noticing any waviness in the fabric, you may need to change the setting on your differential feed.
Great video! Is there a way I can get in touch with you? I am an artist based in Boise, Idaho currently working on a large wall hanging made of layered shapes of silk chiffon for CA client. I’ve been looking for someone locally but having no luck. It’s not that it can’t be done, I just need it done very well, by someone with lots of experience which it seems like you have! I would love to hire you for this project! Please tell me you’re available. 🙏 It’s due in mid June so I’m getting under the wire here. Thanks!
Hi Kate, unfortunately we are based in Canada and we're also a manufacturing company! We do these videos just for educational purposes. Best of luck with your project.
Would you recommend this hem for a satin or a stretch fabric? I am a design student working on my stylized skirt design and constructing a mouchoir hankerchief for the first time. Any advice you have would be great!
Yes, you can do a rolled hem on both types of fabric! On a stretch fabric you will want to select a low stitch width number with a higher stitch length so you can get a flat looking stitch. These stitches will also stretch better with the fabric. On satin, we recommend using a light interfacing with it to make it a little easier.
I don’t understand the part on a regular machine where u say if you’re stitching a circular garment “I recommend stitching on the seam to hide the back stitching.”
Usually with something like a sleeve, there will be another seam at a 90 degree angle to the edge of the sleeve that's holding the two edges of the sleeve together. We just recommended starting your sewing and ending on this seam so that your backstitching will be less visible.
Hi! Could you please do a video showing how to sew a neckline using chiffon fabric? Nothing fancy, just a shallow scoop or slightly rounded neckline. I am not sure if with Chiffon I should use the technique you showed here (domestic machine) or if I should use bias tape. Any help is greatly appreciated! :-)
That's a great question! We may not be able to do a video for this, however with a scoop neckline in chiffon, we recommend using a bias tape instead of hemming it on a domestic machine. Since you would need to ease in the neckline, it's easy to end up with ripples in the fabric. We also recommend you make your own bias tape out of the same material as store bought bias tapes can be too heavy for chiffon. However if you do own a serger, you can still use that to hem a scoop neckline. Hope that helps and if you have any further questions, just let us know!
You can try putting a piece of light weight tearaway interfacing under the fabric so it has something more to grip on. If you don't have any interfacing, you can even use some tissue paper as well.
@@anabellaparis1 In that case, another thing you can try is hand sewing it together with a quick running stitch, then sewing over it again with your machine and pulling the hand thread out. This will make it a little more firm so it doesn't slide out as easily.
Hi! Cecilia. In our tutorial we did not change the tension. However, depending on which sewing machine you have you might have to loosen the tension a bit since the thread(100wt) is really fine. We suggest you to always run a pre-test using a scrap of fabric to see if there is any puckering. Hope this answers your question :)
Who the heck has the time to sit there and sew 1/8" away from hemline then sit there and cut all that fabric... especially if you're hemming yards and yards of sheer fabric?? My simple tip when i'm hemming sheer fabric: fold over 1/4" sew straight line, fold again 1/4 and sew... all raw edges are hidden.
Then do it your way, but why would you view this video if you already knew how to do it? She is providing her opinion on how to do the seam, and I appreciated the video.
