Nice work! For sewing knit fabrics, I recommend buying a ballpoint needle. So affordable and will make sewing stretch fabric an absolute dream, as it won't jam and pull the fabric into your machine, and instead, the ballpoint will gently move between fibres. A twin needle is another great lil addition to your sewing kit, as it gives stretch items, such as tshirts, a professional looking and slightly stretchy hem, without the need for a coverstitch machine, which is used in professional sewing workrooms. Two items that I think make sewing and altering your clothes easier in future, that I reach for constantly now!

@beepwrld 23 күн бұрын

Ok this is great to know, although I actually did use a ballpoint needle for that skort originally and it still wasn't quite right!! this machine is a very old hand-me-down so I think this sort of thing just happens sometimes hahah

@helenm1085 23 күн бұрын

@@sarahkinsey5434this used to happen to me and then a friend suggested that I could be pulling my fabric out wrong. Like once you finish sewing, you need to pull the fabric out from under the foot by pulling it away from you (so in the same direction you were sewing), otherwise the next thing you sew may be screwed up. If you forget, just pull a bit of extra thread back before you start. Since I changed my habits, I no longer get weird tension or tangles under the fabric. Idk if this will solve your problem but it's such an obscure thing that no one teaches you!!

Craft stores sell a protective glove for use with the rotary cutter in the quilting department. Rotary cutters slice through fingers to the bone so fast you will hardly know what happened. This is from personal experience and it's one I cant forget. Sometimes when I have trouble sewing a certain fabric it's because I need a different needle.

Hi Liz! I love your creative videos and I am always SO EXCITED to see people sewing! I just want you to know that all of those struggles that you had are completely normal for even the most experienced sewist. The more you persevere through the mistakes, the more you'll learn and the less you'll make them over time. I have a machine that hates knit fabric (skort) as well, but I now use a walking foot and it's much less of a headache. One thing to remember, if you're going to use existing garments for your patterns, don't forget to add seam allowance. Congratulations on your beautiful bias finish. It looks great! And I really love your plaid skirt. What a great idea!

My favorite project was the skirt because of the contrast, yet it all works together. It's both really "wild" and somehow also not; it's really, really well balanced; if you pair it with more "neutral" colors on top it plays it down and if you pair it with bright colors, or prints, it plays it up; I love getting inspiration for these sort of super-versatile pieces that can weave in and out of a bunch of different styles/substyles! Also going with a curved line was both daring (in terms of the technical aspect) yet it totally paid off. Sorry not sorry I might one day copy your homework on this one.

Two years ago, I made a pair of black and white jeans, and the white demin was pretty expensive and hard to find. You BET I cut out the (white) back left leg backwards. So, I decided to problem solve and re-cut the *black* demin instead, since that was much cheaper and I had more of it. Yeah, I cut that second left leg backwards too🙃.
