Woooooow! This is a freaking good one. Will save this video for this type of occasion. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Good thing I saw this before I tried going back to what I'm working on. It already looked like I wasn't gonna have enough satin for what I wanted, so I can't afford to lose what I have to impatience.
I've been practically crying in advance over making a doll wedding dress out of silk satin charmeuse lined with silk organza; this should help a lot! 🥳
You can also turn your feed dogs off or cover them if your machine can’t turn them off. I turn my stitches down too when I use delicate fabrics or large weaves. It’s such a pain.
@@LydiaNaomi yeah I just sew slower. In general with delicate fabrics I sew a lot slower or use the paper method with the feed dogs up. If you ever sew with the feed dogs down, try some scrap cloth and use your left hand to pull from the back side. You’ll get the feel for it but it’s different on different fabric. My sewing machine chews up satin if I don’t put them down, use a stabilizer or paper.
Great tips I used for many years. So perhaps ppl can make note use a microtex or sharps needle size 70-80 or size 10 a small needle as well and most ppl didn’t know about a smaller stitch thank you for doing that to teach. Well done and good wishes
I need it this video 6 hrs ago 😢 , and I thought about doing something like this too !! But I opted for hand hemming instead 😂 . Note for next time !! Ty
I just realized that I used a Pellon stabilizer for my facing, and lo and behold, the instructions that are wrapped around the stabilizer in the bolt are made of… TISSUE PAPER! I’ll be saving those instructions now, just so I can use them under my delicates. 😊
Thats definitely the first thing you should do, but some machines will still chew at the fabric, especially at the start. In fashion school ,using industrial, regular serviced machines, my professors recommended using tissue paper on top and bottom if trouble ensues :D
Would a darning plate work to prevent the machine from eating the fabric? I wanna get out of the paper hack if I can because im sewing a large project 😂😅
WOW! Love these tips😢. I've been avoiding sewing with that slippery costume fabric because, when I've tried it before, it was always chewed up by my machine. The "paper" tips will be helpful when I ever want to use that particular fabric. I have a question, though ... Would the paper eventually dull your needle while sewing through it ? Thanks bunches to whoever may answer that question for me. 👍 And, thank you for sharing this video with us. 😊
OMG!! What a lifesaver! I'm a beginner, and I had a hard time repurposeing my toddler's onesies into tshirts. I bet this will work perfectly. Thank you!
Was battling this problem alllll evening as I was sewing my first pattern. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I am so glad to see that there’s a fix. Thank you!
With this fabric, I might use a very light fusible interfacing strip along the zipper line to keep things from stretching, as long as your interfacing is very light and only very thin amounts in same areas then I think it could work.
Once you're done stitching fold back the one side and tear it off. The other side should come out quite easily. Whatever's left that you can't get out will likely wash away.
Man kann auch eine so genannte Hebamme verwenden, ein Stück Stoff unter den hinteren Teil des Fußes legen, damit der Fuß gleich mäßig wagerecht steht. Das ist noch einfacher. Ich besitze mehrere. Stärken
What would you suggest if I’m trying to overlock brocade to prevent fraying before I sew? Seems hard to get the tissue paper out from the triangular shape.
Love this hack. I'm still searching for how to accurately cut out a pattern when using slippery fabric. I've tried tried the tissue paper between the layers (Still shifts); the single layer and tissue paper (still shifts); the spray starch (only when it won't leave marks) and more. This could be for satins, for crepes, for rayon challis.... PLEASE HELP!! LOL!!! I have such lovely fabric and am afraid to cut it out! Thanks so much.
@@LydiaNaomi Appreciate the advice and you taking the time to respond. Also, I just appreciate you. Have a great week!! See you on the next video! They're great and full of information and fun. Thanks for your labor and generosity in sharing.
