I'm a bit nervous doing it all because the pillow top is woven overlock serger strips fused onto interfacing, and I don't want to mess it up! All the tips help a lot. Thanks!

Question: can you eliminate the first step of making the cording and just serge it all while using the cording foot?
@GailPatriceDesign Жыл бұрын
Hi, Technically, yes you could, but I wouldn’t advise trying to do the piping in one step. It’s too many layers to manage. Piping is such a lovely edge finish. You’ll get the most professional results by encasing the filler cord first, then Serging it in the seams of your project. Sometimes when I try to cut corners by doing something in a hurry, it ends up being more time consuming. I rip out unsatisfactory results and redo them. This probably isn’t the answer you were hoping for, but it’s my best advice. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Gail, I really appreciate all your wonderful teachings! I own an Ovation, and would like to know how to use my doublefold, or singlefold biasbinder on baby burp cloths. I cut a square piece of fabric, then round the 4 corners. When I do the outer corners, the binding slips away and the machine stitches on the fabric only. I'm sure you can help! Pleeeease?
@GailPatriceDesign4 жыл бұрын
Bernice Cloete Hi Bernice, those corners are a steep curve that take practice. Using scrap fabric, cut the same pattern shapes (several) and multiple binding strips. Lighten the presser foot pressure slightly to make the fabric easier to maneuver under the foot. Stitch at a slow to moderate speed. You may have to stop every few stitches on the the steepest part of the curve, lift the foot (with the needle down), and pivot the fabric slightly. It takes some practice, but I think you’ll do it. Try this method and if you need more help, let me know. I’ll wait to hear from you. Did you watch the tip clip on the binder? Thanks!
@bernicecloete42454 жыл бұрын

@GailPatriceDesign2 жыл бұрын
@@brendarainwater6049 Hi Brenda, The fabric that's against the feed dogs (the bottom layer) will almost always feed through slightly faster thus making the top fabric slightly longer at the end. That's why when stitching stripes, plaids, etc on a sewing machine, you'll use a walking foot (Even feed or dual feed-all the same foot, just different names). If I need both layers to be exactly the same, I often baste them together right at the end point or pin them. I might slightly stretch the bottom fabric but not enough to matter. Hope that helps. Thanks!
