The biggest tip I’ve learned is not to look at the needle when sewing but to look at the fabric about an inch in front of the needle. It always helps to keeps your lines accurate.

since I became disable my wife, a nurse, talked me into making scrub tops. I am having trouble with my seams and this video was a great explanation of the different types of seams. I will be able to create better tops for her and let her have more custom tops that what is at the local uniform shop. thank you.

As a 61 year old man and a retired welder, fabricator, machinist, tree trimmer, I appreciate this instruction. I make manly tool bags, gnarly equipment covers, tree climbing harness modifications, clothing and upholstery repairs ect. All these subjects this young lady covers are not just a fluffy girly thing, they apply to even the rough and tumble element of manufacturing items. Today's generation sorely lacks the resourcefullness to be self sufficient and creative. Thanks !

@kreagan4826 3 года назад

I am a 35 year old guy myself, and I started dying textiles recently, and now that I am looking into sewing, I am wondering why I never learned this before! I am hoping to be using this on webbing and building little saddle bag type units also. The stigma that this stuff is girly, is as off as firestarting or cooking being gender specific. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your creations!

@dmmdmm5435 3 года назад

@@kreagan4826 when some shallow minded dolt makes a "sewing is feminine " comment, I remind them to look inside of a car upholstery shop, awning shop, sail shop, horse tack shop and knife and gun holster shop. They'll notice many men in those lines of work. All the tailors I've gone to for military uniform repairs have been men.

@aintnonormie1437 2 года назад

I know you're trying to be respectful, it's just that someone has to say it. Calling the careers/interests of women as "girly" and "fluffy" is diminishing. "Girly" is often used as a derogatory term and I'd argue that's exactly how it was used in the comment above. As you mention yourself -- sewing is used in everyday objects and materials. But the distinction made between goods has been placed there by people who uphold gender roles. So, "girly" stuff is clothing (which is absurd since everyone wears clothes and anyone who wishes to learn how to sew can do so) while manufacturing is seen as "manly" which we know automatically carries more respect. Sewing is just sewing.

I learned how to sew as a kid just because I loved machines of all types and insisted my grandma teach me how to use the sewing machine. I quickly came to see sewing as just another survival skill like fixing or building stuff. I also always found sewing and welding two of the most relaxing forms of joining materials.

@saminamirza5094 6 лет назад

Much applause for Myriah and yourself, Zoe. Nothing thrills me more than young people demonstrating their skill. Sewing is a life skill; and for you guys in the fashion design industry, it's a survival skill.

I’m a quilter just now learning garment making and I can appreciate accuracy in seams because with quilting it’s VERY important to cut, press, and stitch with precision.

@destinycharles2237 6 лет назад

And a tip for the curve seam, to keep the finished seam flat, you can use pinking sheers for the seam allowance, or cut directly toward the seam, along the seam allowance (Never cut the seam itself). In the latter scenario, you will then finish and have a seam allowance full of little squares😊That's just an easier way to flatten it all out. I hope this helps, and I loved the video. I learned a lot.❤

@wendyfay16 Год назад

Oh YES, MORE PLEASE! ❤ I particularly loved the curve and the corner seams. I'd also never considered sewing one side of the seam a tad in, instead of the tedious, and often dangerous cutting away that 1/4 inch for the flat felled seam. I've always done French seams purely because I f all the cutting away of the fabric, and I always managed to either cut away too much fabric, or not enough and then it showed on the outside of the seam on the garment, so I had to painstakingly cut off those tiny little pieces that showed through, all the while trying not to cut the fabric! I'm so grgrateful for your demonstration of the various ways to do these things. I'll certainly be using the flat felled seam a LOT more often now! 😊

@Morlla234 4 года назад

Thank you:) I just started sewing and a big issue I had was the freaking constanttttt re-threading of the needle. Lol. This really helps, and I’ve learned some good things :)

@kreagan4826 3 года назад

I have never sewn a thing in my life, but have a background in art and home repair, and I am wondering why I never learned this before!!! Probably because I am a guy, and well, we all know about stereotypes (and how incorrect they often are). I am about to go buy some fabric and borrow my moms sewing machine! Thanks so much for the awesome video, just hit subscribe, and looking forward to learning more (after some real practice)

@justme8108 2 года назад

All the boys in our high school had to take home-economics, which included sewing and cooking. The shop teacher, Mr. ? (I can't remember his name), came in to show us how to carve a turkey. My mother was far and away more proficient than the home-ec teacher and taught us all the home-ec stuff well beyond the degree taught at school. My brothers and I are very lucky.

@lindaliang3825 9 месяцев назад

I watched this video intently because I wanted to make a boucle/tweed suit (Vogue V7860). The neckline is curved and the last segment of this entire video shows how to sew a curved seam. Whew! Also, I have never sewn closed any of the edges when I made clothes. (my regrets). I didn't even know that a seam allowance was to be 1/2" wide at some places in a pattern. I am happier watching this video, thank you for the demonstration. It was so clear and precise that I learned how to do these seams.

I've tried asking everyone I know about fixing things for me. After I've got my next door buddys grand mother to fix a few sweaters and stuff, I've decided to buy one and learn. Its seems to be a dying trade and more men are learning to do "basic" stitching. Changing drum breaks on a 72 chevy is basic btw, setting up a a straight stich is not 😃. This takes a bit more patience and can't be fixed with a big hammer. Thanks for so many good tips! Hlloooonurse!

Hi, I just picked up a much older machine. (1970's Singer 237 m-a Fashion Mate) I put a new belt on, and I learned that the tighter the drive belt is adjusted the slower it will start and run. If I adjusted the belt loosely It would start and run faster. I like it slow as I am new to all this, and it makes it so much easier to learn. Thanks for the video.

Yes to more sewing videos! I took prereqs for an AD&D program but cannot quit my job to do the program full time. I ended up buying a Juki 5550 (the same as my favorite machines at school), and the hardest part of self-learning has been just the tiny details that seem to get left out of books; or having to source from multiple different books the things your teacher just tells you when doing demos. I love all of your videos, they are an extreme help/reality check/motivator for me.

I find sewing to be extremely cathartic and satisfying after I got the hang of it. I rescued a couple rats and decided to make them hammocks and pillows and absorbent carpets.... It was such a fun, educational, rewarding, resourceful important experience for me. I see a cheap $10 jacket made in China now and appreciate it because I know the extent of time and resources it would take me to make it myself. Learning how to sew gave me an entirely new perspective and appreciation for the art of fabric and especially leather work. I tried to make a knife sheath out of a weight lifting belt which taught me about the complexities and variance among animals, their bodies and their skins. sewing is fun and rewarding with every completed seam
