I sew a lot in mulberry silk chiffon and satin and I don't want to dryclean my clothes. I found a local supermarket that sells old fashioned powdered starch. I starch the chiffon heavily and, when it is damp, I iron it lightly on a woollen blanket on my dining room table. This when it is necessary to maintain the warp and weft threads at right angles.. Once it is dry, it is easy to cut out and sew. When the garment is complete, rinse out the starch with warm, (not hot) water. If it is still a little bit crisp, that's OK.

I’ve been sewing for more than 40 years. I’m a theatrical costumer and I HAVE to say…. Thank you. You are such a wonderful teacher. You give great information in such a calm, relaxing manner. You make anything seem attainable!!! Even with all my years sewing, I keep learning from you. I always recommend your videos to all my interns. And I must add, the garments you’ve made are STUNNING!!! You are such an inspiration. Again, thank you.

@janets9351 4 жыл бұрын

I really love all your content!! Here is my no baste method for baby hems on fine or sheer fabrics. Staystitch 3/8" from raw hem edge (regular machine stitch length), press to wrong side along stitching line, making sure the line of stitching just rolls to wrong side, stitch again close to that first stitching (about 1/16th" away) Trim off the excess hem, very close to 2nd stitching. (do slowly and carefully) Then fold over one last time to wrong side and do a final stitching. This last row of stitching will be the only one visible on the right side. Doing 3 rows of stitching sounds like alot but it doesn't actually add bulk it just gives a bit of weight to the hem to make it hang nicely. Test the method first on a scrap of your fabric, and experiment with different spacing of these rows of stitching so that you get the hem width, and the look you want. If my explanation is confusing, just google how to do a baby hem, and photos and videos should come up.

Yes I know this method and have done it, but over time I have chosen what I prefer and for me having only one row of stitching on the machine is lighter and what I prefer. I use guide stitches a lot in other areas of the garment when I need to press in. As always there are many ways to do things and I share my favorites on the channel. It’s good to have options.

My grandmother, who was a seamstress, taught me to sew when I was a young girl in the 1960's. I so enjoyed what could be made and loved the fabrics, from lingerie, prom and wedding dresses to suits. Good memories. I have used self fabric for interfacing, but the block method is great 👍. I will certainly use that method. I enjoy hand basting and happy you are promoting it, especially for delicate fabrics. I have shared and taught my love for sewing with my children (boy and girls) and granddaughters. Thank you.

Roberta Carr once explained that basting is like having another pair of hands or an assistant - or something to that effect. In some cases basting saves time and keeps your fabric from being overworked.

Karina, until I found your channel, I never heard anyone expressing the benefits of hand basting. I think it was one of the first things I learnt at school and I never stopped until I noticed that everyone on KZfaq uses pins or even nothing, just fingers. Having seen you, I now baste anything that looks the least bit tricky. Thank you!

I just bought my first piece of silk and have been researching sewing and cutting methods before tackling my top. I watched one lady that taped layers of tissue down like you were talking about. I next watched this one and totally agree with your way. I’m also into hand basting after watching you for several years. It just makes your end result so professional looking. Worth the time plus I enjoy the process from start to finish. Thanks Karina as always!💕

Love the recommended tape it! That it why I have both Temporary and Permanent tape on my cutting table. I am glad someone else understands.😀 when my husband owned a business he had some rusty nuts and washers from some heavy equipment. Which means they were perfect for pattern weights. I grabbed them before the guys threw them out. I put them in an aluminum disposable pan and covered them with Evapo-rust for removing rust. I used a wire brush to get the bits out of the threads on the nuts. I rinsed everything off and put them into a hot oven to dry them thoroughly. Once done I grabbed some grosgrain ribbon, you could use strips of any cotton fabric and wrapped them with the ribbon and fabric going through the holes in the nuts and the washers. If the washer is not heavy enough for you. Use school glue to glue two washers together, let sit overnight and then wrap. Glued the ends with glue. I love them. And, they are pretty.

No where else have I been able to learn these things so I thought I had to just avoid these fabrics. With this information I could try again. I did try to make a simple top with some chiffon, it was a disaster. I tried using french seams, I didn't know about basting or taping the fabric down to cut it. It makes so much sense to do it that way. I am so grateful that you share your knowledge with us so freely. Thank you Thank you Thank you

I like that you showed a clip of how you hand baste! I have tried my first two chiffon garments this week (unfortunately before this video came out!) I found that putting a small piece of tissue paper underneath helped me to get seams started with my machine. It wanted to shove the fabric down into the throat plate, even though I held onto the threads. I was super apprehensive, but it's been a much better experience than I thought! I did choose a simple elastic waist skirt for the first project. The other item is a tiny dress for my one year old granddaughter. It took some doing, but I did get the zipper installed last night! 👏😅

Thank you so much for all the great tips. I hadn’t heard about any of them. I had heard of putting a strip of tissue paper under the fabric as you sewed, which I have used successfully. It basically helps to stabilize the fabric and prevents it from being thrust down into the needle hole plate (or whatever that is called). Your tip about using small, new needles would probably address that issue. Anyway, I will be trying out some of your tips as I want to sew an Ogden cami out of silk.

WOW! 😮 Now that I have subscribed, I'm binge watching your channel! I have learned so much from you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm definitely going to try to sew the Rhapsody in some silk that I have. But first, I'll practice French seams because it's been years since I've used that skill.

I use rotary cutters for my garment cutting too. I agree, you don’t have to lift the fabric and distort it. I hope you’ll be able to get them more easily soon

Hi! Thank you for these tips! I am not afraid of many things, but chiffon fabric scares me! I’m going to try your tips because I love the fabric, just have had issues with it in the past-BIG issues.
