How to Hold Your Fabric to Sew Accurate Seams 

I’m 72. The tip about folding the fabric back on itself is a new trick for this old dog. Thanks! 😂

Thank you, I had my third sewing class tonight. I was trying to teach myself how to guide the material gently with my left hand. Now I know how I should be holding it properly.

Been quilting for years, but really appreciate the reminder to remove my death grip. Looking forward to putting these techniques into practice

Wow. I have taken online sewing courses, watched tons of videos, practiced sewing straight seams. I have never been told these methods. Thank you so much for your help and advice. Thanks for making this video. I would be interested in more technique videos please.

Great advice. When I first started sewing the seams always came out wavy. Finally realized I was stretching the fabric.

Thanks for this video I learnt useful information. "Feed it don't force it, let it happen naturally, it will surely happen, as it's meant to be..." Goodluck with the channel, will check out your other vids.

Great tips! Thank you!👌

Thank you for this great video, you have helped so many.

OMGosh, THIS VIDEO! Yup, let the machine do the work.

Hello! I'm so glad I came across your channel 😊. I've had my machine only 4 days and yes, I'm guilty of the 'death grip' ! Watching this so early I can get out of the habit quicker and be kind to my machine, which has forgiven me, luckily! 😊. 'Feed, not Force' is my motto ! 😊 Thank You so much 💓 And you have a new sub.👍 Even your voice has helped relax my nerves! I will press that bell for your notifications. I'm practising with some old t-shirts and making dusters before I embark on making cozy fleece pads for my 3 guinea pigs 💓 Excellent video, no fuss, clear and informative 👍

Great teaching! Thank you!

Thanks for the thumb flip technique

Very helpful--thanks.

Excellent advice !!! I cringe whenever I see someone ( on other Videos ) "demonstrating" sewing techniques and they are "pulling" on the fabric being sewn...

Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you. But when mustn't I use the feeddog?

Thank you so much for sharing ! Can you recommend what to do when the sewing machine is on top of the table? I know that you mentioned, but I don't have any ideas. Thanks

also the cons about going from the yellow to red zone is that the sewing needle can and will go through your fingers if you are not careful 😅

I used to hold on to the fabric for dear life 😅

Great info. But if you’re holding the fabric right, and the top and bottom fabrics aren’t feeding evenly, it likely means your presser foot tension needs adjustment.

I love a walking foot

It always bugs me to watch people sewing on TV and see them pulling the fabric through the machine!

That sewing machine sounds like a tank! It looks even, But…. You’re Ruffling the fabric!

I must be really spoiled because that machine she’s using is so slow. I now appreciate my Juki TL 18 even more.
