This is so useful thank you. I’m currently trying to cut a thin jersey for baby clothes and even pinning it to the pattern is a task let alone cutting it. Appreciate your tips - and the humour too!

I never would have thought to use silk organza as a pressing cloth, but it makes a lot of sense!

Why do you say that silk organza is your favorite pressing cloth? That was a new one on me... I use a white mid to lightweight cotton because it passes heat while preventing scorching without risk of dye rubbing off.

@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry 2 жыл бұрын

I also used lightweight cotton for many years, it's very good. But when I tried 100% silk organza I switched to it and use it all the time now. I can see clearly through it, I see the stitches, the pleats, the folds etc. when I press. And to my surprise, nothing happens with the organza cloth when I use cotton iron temperature. But only 100% silk, not polyester. And it's not expensive fabric.

I used hair spray after cutting.

@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry Жыл бұрын

@@clothingalterations I used it a few times just to try but the starch spray is much better. Hair spray is not intended for fabric, so it's sticky, it's flammable (which is not good with a hot iron), and it's more expensive. As for the chemicals , I am sure there are plenty in both sprays and have to be washed out after the garment is made.

Why do you NOT use laundry detergent when washing new fabric? I am planning to use cotton jersey w/ 5% Spandex.

@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry 2 ай бұрын

I choose not to use laundry detergent when pre-washing new fabric because I aim to remove only the sizing or any potential residue without introducing additional chemicals into the fabric. So I simply rinse the fabric in warm or hot water. This can help prepare the fabric for sewing while keeping it as chemical-free as possible.

Still confused about the grainline😢

@karenwetherall7310 9 ай бұрын

It runs parallel with the selvedge edge and has the least stretch making it stable. (Also called the warp). Across the fabric width has more stretch and is called the weft (think LEFT to right).

It looks like when you Laid out the pattern on the fold that you fabric was folded wrong sides together. I always folded right sides together. Does it matter?

@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry 2 жыл бұрын

To me, it does matter if I have some pattern marks to transfer, then I fold right sides together. But if I have nothing to transfer then I can fold wrong sides together, it doesn't really matter.
