I love y’all! Poor Rob… I don’t know that I’d be brave enough to assist anymore. 🤣 I’m not afraid to gather with thread, but never thought about using diff colors. That’s next level “geniusing” 🤣 (Y’all are going to have me making up words all day now)

You may have been the civilian, Rob, but I learned more by watching this demonstration by seeing both. So I learned more from you, this time, Rob.

@thehandmadeharriells 2 жыл бұрын

That. Is. EXCELLENT!!!! We thought it would be better to show the why & how instead of just showing the answer. (i will also be sure to let Rob know this is a further TKO 😬)

@ashextraordinaire 2 жыл бұрын

The look on your face when Rob identified the bobbin threads is the same look I gave my civilian mom when she said something about basting stitches the other day. So proud! I'm definitely going to be changing out my bobbin thread color for gathering from now on. And the pins for the thread tails? Freaking genius!!!

I’m new to sewing so please excuse my ignorance, but why would you need to take gathering out? Is it just if a mistake is made, or is it a technique of some sort to gather and then remove the gather?

If they show or pull.

Yes, as small footprint said ! And no question is ignorant, there’s always something to learn in sewing no matter what your level. To ramble on a little more, the gathers will lay much prettier if you remove those stitches after sewing up your seam 💗
