Wow, thank you!

I just discovered that one myself recently :)

We can always learn new tricks!

You are so welcome!

Thanks! I taught high school for 12 years, so that helped develop my style.

Glad it's helpful!

So good to never stop learning though!

Thanks - I love pink :)

I'm easily bored with video too, so I try to make sure I cut out all the extra in mine 🙂

Hope your next time is stress free!

Glad it's helpful!

Have fun sewing!

Thank you, Melly. That was very helpful!

Thank you - I do love pink!

Thanks for watching!

Happy to help!

Hope it helps! Tunneling can also be mitigated by playing with the tension.

Hope they help! Tissue paper under the seam can also help if you're getting fabric sucked in in the middle of a seam.

Glad it was helpful!

Wonderful!

Well, hope it helps on the next project.

Hope this helps for the next one! I love wearing rayon knits.

It depends on if you're parallel or perpendicular to the selvage, and it only works with fabrics created with a jersey stitch. More here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a55indSolbCVhqs.html

Great tip!

Thanks! All those years I taught high school helped :)

I just discovered that one myself recently and have used it a lot!

Glad to help!

Have a great day too!

Wonderful!

That can work, once you figure out which is which to begin with.

It's a good idea to play with actual fabric/machine combo to get the best settings for your project

Perfect timing!

I have never used it or felt the need to.

@@Mellysews I may actually get brave and try it with this summer's batch of Blank Tees for my grandkids. I broke the cover stitch function on my serger last summer when I was making a batch of them then and never got it fixed. (Bad girl!)

I got it at a warehouse. I don't have recommendations for fabric for business purposes.

You can trim, depending on the stay tape you use (don't trim twill tape edges) or press to one side. You can even stitch the other side of the stay tape down either by hand or with a stretch topstitch. But I generally just leave it and press the seam to one side when I sew over the seam with the neckband sleeve.

It can be; it depends on your machine/fabric combo so trying with a sample scrap is always recommended.

Try this mellysews.com/tips-to-sew-rayon-knits/

I'm not sure what seam marking guide you're referring to? Where in the video did I use it?

@@Mellysews towards the end at 13.29. looks like you've got a sticker with lines near where the bobbin goes in. Sorry not explaining very well

Ah, I thought you meant a ruler seam guide. Yes, that is a sticker, you can get them here: amzn.to/2MkzliO

@@Mellysews thanks, I'll need to research this as postage to UK is off the scale!

Selvage from a woven fabric maybe, but a knit selvage would still stretch. Non stretch interfacing in a thin strip is pretty hard to see.

Yes, the pattern is linked in the video description.

Trimming a curve like a neckline or armscye will make it bigger, which could greatly affect fit.

Thank u

Starch helps, if I'm really having trouble with a fabric I might also pin along the fold line before placing my pattern to keep the fabric from rolling.

They're commonly available in many fabric stores in the U.S.

You should be able to copy the link in your web address bar and then paste that to share.

Try the stabilizer

​I'm having the same problem on Polyester, with the upper thread not catching the lower thread. Or when it does, my thread is breaking & my stitches are skipping! I've tried, re-threading the upper, re-inserting the bobbin, changing both kinds of threads, changing to a ball point needle (made it worse). 🤔Don't believe there's any way to adjust the Pressure Foot Tension on my machine. But have reduced the overall tension. Changed to a small, short, zig zag.😫Ugh very frustrating... (btw would you ever put a little bit of tape over part of the hole so as not to have the fabric sucked into the bobbin hole? Yep, have that prob too & saw that suggested.) Will try stabilizer... before giving up & hand stitching or burning. 🤞Tks for the tips.

We don't really get moths in my climate, so I don't.

Cedar Wood (like a Cedar Closet) helps keeps moths away.

I have no idea which fabric you're referring to, but when the fabric is still available at the time of publication I add a link, so if there's no link it's safe to assume it's fabric I bought years ago and is no longer available.

For cutting patterns, try single layer cutting. For sewing anything that needs to be folded, lots of starch.

I know that one but still sometimes forget to do it, ha!

I discuss the difference in the video in this post mellysews.com/how-to-choose-sewing-machine-needles/

My sewing machine has been discontinued, but I've always just used a regular sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch for knits and it's worked fine.

Reduce the presser foot pressure to start, tissue paper underneath if that doesn't fix it.

I'd probably repair by adding some sort of stay tape to armhole. To avoid I'd do the fabric growth check before using it for a similar dress.

It's always a good idea to read package instructions

Some people find them helpful but I've never even put mine on my machine, never felt the need to.

Depends on the fabric and the machine, you'd have to experiment.

No. More here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNSGoamTtKnDpJ8.html
