So kind! Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment. Come back again!

Thanks, joc0553! It made my day that this might have inspired you to upcycle the cashmere in your closet. I appreciate the encouragement and please come back for more. I'm working on some recycled denim projects...

Hey, Miss Matti - thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment. Let me know how your cashmere sweater turns out!

Thanks for visiting and commenting - I appreciate your time. I'd love to know how your cashmere turns out! And, as always in our community, please offer credit/link to my video as to where you got the idea of using knit interfacing if you should post in any way. Happy sewing!

I will let you know if I decide to use the technique and I probably will make a video out it like you did to help others. :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Eva! I hope your sweater turns out well! Let me know!

Thanks! :) I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment

Thanks!

Hi, Mich! - Thanks for watching and I'd love to help. The jersey knit needle is used to prevent putting holes in knit fabric. A regular universal needle can cut the fibers whereas a jersey needle has a rounded tip that pushes through stretchy/knit fabric without cutting the fibers. If you happen to have a serger then you don't need to worry about a walking foot. However if you are a beginner then a serger is probably not on your horizon at this moment. With a regular sewing machine, a walking foot is always a good investment. They are used for quilting, generally, but I use my walking foot for any kind of project that has bulky layers as a regular foot can cause bunching. A walking foot is also good for using over "sticky" fabrics such as leather or vinyl. They are not cheap - one could run anywhere from $30-$50 or so. Another crucial key in preventing your knit from bunching up on a traditional sewing machine is using either a tear-away stabilizer or an iron-on stretch knit interfacing in the areas you are sewing. If it is a sweater, I would use knit interfacing. If it is knit fabric like a t-shirt, then a tear-away stabilizer would be sufficient. I use knit interfacing in this sweater tutorial above. If you want to see how tear-away stabilizer works, you could watch this tutorial as an example. It is used under applique but it works just the same way if you want to make a side seam. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9OEotOXyMuVXaM.html Hope to see you back again!

Hi, Laurel- you could try cutting off the turtleneck part and make it into a boat-neck-type of neckline. Or a scoop neck. Or even a v-neck with these same techniques. I have another video called 2 sweaters to grommet hoodie. The neckline there is essentially a v-neck without the grommets. Let me know how it goes or if you need any further input!

@@ThreadheadTV Thank you! I'll givei it a whirl! XO Laurel

Attachment to the sewing machine? It is a walking foot. It is used in quilting to help the foot go over all the layers smoothly but it works wonders in lots of other project applications as well.

Let me know if that didn't answer your Q
