Thank you for such a clear and instructive video. I have watched many FOE KZfaq videos and this was by far the best for my sewing project.

I liked that "little bit of spit"! I made a point of teaching my grandson how to sew on a button. When I did the knot using that same technique, his response was "yuck, gross, Grammy"!!

Wow this is great. You've solved at least two issues I've been having with my FOE. I can rethink the construction of my garments now.

Thanks Dana. I really enjoy learning something new and simple. You explain everything you’re doing which makes it fun and easy. By the way my mom showed me how to tie off thread the same way. Now my daughter does it this way too.

Thank you so much! And I love your name...I mean really love it!! When my first child was born that was the exact name I had chosen...except he was a boy! Number two was also going to be Dana Marie...and, also was a boy. Alas, I never got to use the beautiful name! Lol

@danamarie3482 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Debbie. That's why my folks chose the name Dana since it works either way (boy or girl). I could easily have been Dana Robert (after my dad), instead of Dana Marie (after my mom). :)

Thank you! I just learned a few new tips. I’m a beginner (about 3 years) and I’m looking to give my garments a more clean and professional look. What stitch length do you use when your normally do necklines and around the armpit/shoulder?

@DanaMarieDesignCo 3 жыл бұрын

I generally sew in a 2.5 to 3.0 stitch length. Machines vary in tension and feed, so if your stitches are looking too tight, lengthen them.

Wonderful! Do you prefer to use the FOE over ribbing around necklines? What width do you purchase?

@DanaMarieDesignCo 5 жыл бұрын

It depends. FOE is more readily available in a variety of colors. At one time you used to be able to purchase knits with matching ribbing easily, that isn't the case with anymore. I predominately use the 5/8" width as it is the most common, comes in many colors and gives a nice 1/4" finish.

@rosac8168 3 жыл бұрын

so you don't have to stretch the elastic when applying it to the neck?

@DanaMarieDesignCo 3 жыл бұрын

Correct. If you stretch the elastic you may end up with gathers in your neckline fabric. If you are using a knit, you can gently stretch BOTH equally (elastic and neckline) to avoid popped seams when sewing with a straight stitch and regular thread. This takes practice so you keep the 1:1 ratio, to avoid puckering.

Do the stretchy thread and fold-over elastic lose their elasticity over time -- much as most elastic does?

@DanaMarieDesignCo 20 күн бұрын

The current elastic threads on the market are NOT made of rubber which typically as you said, can lose elasticity over time. Seraflex is 100% PTT (polytrimethylene terephthalate), continuous filament. Eloflex is continuous filament P.B.T. which is a form of polyester.

@@DanaMarieDesignCo Good information. Thanks. If I ever need to do some vocal warm-ups before public speaking, I'll just repeat "polytrimethylene terephthalate" 10 times in a row. 🙂

Is that bies stretchy? I need to use for face masks.

Fold Over Elastic does stretch and is perfect for going around curves like shaped face masks!

Do you use stretch thread in bobbin and top thread. Can you use stretch thread in a bobbin winder

@DanaMarieDesignCo 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, and Yes. :) The Eloflex Stretchable thread can be used in both the needle and bobbin for sewing. You can also wind on your machines' bobbin winder. Basically, treat it like a regular thread. The only thing I've found is it works best with a 90/14 Stretch needle when I tried to go down to a 80/12 it was prone to skipping stitches.

What are mitar and fudging?

@danamarie3482 4 жыл бұрын

A miter is where a joint is made by cutting two pieces at an angle and fitting them together. Fudging is a term I learned from my Dad, basically "just making it work". :)

@rosac8168 3 жыл бұрын

Whats 3 way zig zag?

@DanaMarieDesignCo 3 жыл бұрын

It's a stitch on some machines, that take 3 stitches to each "zig", then 3 more to each "zag". It's fairly common, look at your machine's stitch images and see if it's there!
