The best explanation of an understitch. Thanks.

I completely agree about understitching! It takes facings etc to the next level. Totally worth the couple of extra minutes it takes, to get a great result 👍

No doubt it's a easy step for great results!

Great demo. I've used understitching for years and it is just second nature now. Since I have become a quilter, it is useful when binding quilts with zig-zag edges by clipping inner corners and prick stitching to make nicer turns. Thanks for refreshing our sewing skills.

Definitely sounds like a good use for it! For sure doesn't need to be limited to garments alone, it's just what I sew most. ☺️

I have the same gold pin you have on your green coat. I have worn it for years on various occasions. So fun to see you have one, too! ❤. Thank you for the detailed and clear tutorial on understitching. I’ll definitely be using this step in future sewing projects!

@tashacouldmakethat 15 күн бұрын

Oh now neat that you have the same vintage pin! I often wear it on one coat or another. ☺️ And you're very welcome!

It really is a game-changer, and anything that reduces the need for ironing is all right by me. I like to do it by hand with a small running stitch in a contrasting embroidery thread. I like twiddly details inside a garment that only the wearer ever gets to see :)

@tashacouldmakethat 19 күн бұрын

Yes! Love it, twiddly details are the best! 😁

That’s why my overlock threads are red, yellow, blue, and green - only I ever see the colorful threads and it makes me so happy 😁

@@AnnelisRAnd it makes troubleshooting SO much easier! I have the sample from when my serger got tuned up, and I regularly refer to it to troubleshoot. But now that I'm not using my serger for commissions... This is highly tempting! Thanks!

Adding understitching to low quality commercially made garments can be a game changer. People often give up on garments with this type of problem, because the garment looks kinda disheveled, or they don't like having to get the iron out, so they never wear it. As long as you can trust yourself to do the fix while the piece is still new and exciting to you - get it!

@tashacouldmakethat 19 күн бұрын

@@lynn858 That's a great tip because there's no reason not to do it to a RTW garment that doesn't have it! In fact I just washed a vintage dress and noticed the neckline was understitched, but not the armholes, so the seamline was suitably crumply. Before I press it I may go understitch the armholes. (I just added a pocket to it after all, wish I'd have noticed then. 🤣)

@annahackman2539 18 күн бұрын

Thank you for explaining it in a way that I might actually understand. I'll have to try understitching again because I kept feeling like i was doing something wrong. I definitely like knowing about the prick stitch option because hand stitching is my favorite fall back when im struggling with machine sewing.

Thank you for this video! I have just started sewing again after years, and appreciate a video that gives me techniques for a well made garment. I have to let you know that the duck billed scissors I saw in a previous video. After CUTTING my shirt trying to grade a seam, I IMMEDIATELY bought myself a pair!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! 👏✨🧵♥

You’re so welcome! And I’m so sorry about your shirt! I’m still so careful with duckbill scissors because they help a TON but I don’t want to get cocky and complacent on accident. 🤣

😂Thank you for this video! The first time I understitched a neckline on a particular dress pattern, the shape was difficult to work with. I'm making it again right now and will try doing it by hand or understitching earlier in construction.

I didn't realize the edge stitch foot was a common thing unless one has a quilting machine... I don't think I've ever actually used mine. I just occasionally notice it and think "oh! That would be handy!"

@SparkyOne549 18 күн бұрын

I’ve never had an edge foot, I use a zipper foot, great for edges.

@tashacouldmakethat 18 күн бұрын

Yep that works too. I thought about showing it with a zipper foot as well but figured it was starting to be too many options to show. 🤣
