Julija look absolutely stunning in this video!

Eye opening. Thank you.

Thanks for that. When you discuss merino, please include a comment about care. Although it can last a long time, it can also get pinholes really quickly. It must be washed in pure soap or a "wool wash". Standard detergents, particularly those with enzymes break down the proteins in the fibre. Cotton, linen, viscose etc are cellulose based but merino, other wools and silk are protein based. Merino is also very susceptible to catching on zips, hooks and other fastenings. In storage, it is also susceptible to moth larvae. So if you are going to pay for merino, it does come with additional maintenance costs. Some merino is also spun with a core of synthetic so it's worth paying attention to content.

This was quite interesting. I would like to see a similar video on buying denim/jeans.

Very informative information.

Thank you for such a detailed, informative video! The higher quality t-shirts that I like have a reinforcement tape that runs across the neckline, and all the way to the end of both shoulders. Also, I’ve noticed that the lowest quality t-shirts I’ve seen have a blind hem done on an overlocker, instead of a coverstitch.

I learned so much from your video. Thank you very much!!!! -Alicia

Excellent video, maybe your best one yet! 15:49 Seeing handmade t-shirts that people make without a neckline seam cover is a pet peeve of mine, so I’m glad you mentioned it. Once you sew a couple of them, it’s really not that hard to do and it goes a long way in increasing t-shirt quality. 18:04 Unravelling threads are certainly a good indicator of poor sewing quality. But it’s a shame that you used that specific photo of the green shirt in your example, because that particular photo shows a thread tail that simply wasn’t trimmed - which is an easy fix - not stitches that are unravelling. What’s more, that green shirt actually shows a little seen sign of excellent attention to detail: chainstitches (and/or coverstitches) very easily unravel, so that shirt had a couple of small horizontal stitches (sewn with a straight stitch machine) to tack down the chainstitch end and thereby ensure that the stitches would never unravel. It’s an attention to detail that not all manufacturers bother with. Someone just forgot to trim the trailing thread at the end. 20:19 Here in Canada where I live, clothing usually has a 100% - 350% markup whereas groceries have a 5 - 25% markup so the retail landscape must be very different here from where you live! Anyways, once again, congratulations on the excellent video!

This is THE BEST video that i have watched on clothing quality. It is so detailed, and you explain the reasoning for everything. I have watched similar videos from other KZfaqrs but none of them come close to the level of education and clarity of this video. I would love more videos like these! Thank you!

For American English speakers, Elastane=Spandex and Viscose=Rayon. Easy to look up online but most viewers are too lazy. Fabulous content as always and very useful!

I live in the USA. I am 75 years old and can tell you that it has become impossible to find any apparel fabrics of good quality anymore. I can only find "Quilting cotton" that has the quality that I like. Fabrics such as satins, linens, crepes, gabardines, etc are only available to me online and many of the online purchases are very disappointing. I love to feel and see what I'm buying and that is a bygone era as far asvi can tell. I'm very disturbed and sad that the fabric textile industry is dying except for cheap poor quality products that i don't want to use up my time and energy on them. Thank you for your valuable information.

You are an awesome Teacher 🍎. I was wondering about the differences between the fabric qualities. I am self- teaching myself how to sew again (after a 30 year hiatus). Thank you for this video

GOTS Certification.... WOW. I have never heard of this before but I will definitely be looking for it. I'm going to continue watching the rest of your video that I wanted to mark this before I forgot. I love you videos you give terrific quality content.

I recently bought the ebook of Readers Digest Complete Guide to Sewing, the 2022 version. Im a bit disappointed that basic pattern making is not included in the book. There is a comprehensive guide to alteration of pattern but no basic pattern making. I still have time to refund, I dont know if I should 😔

Thank you for this comparison, it was really informative and helped me make up my mind as to what type of machine to go for.

Thank you. The class is helpful

Thank you very much

I like using the wider twin needle for knits. It takes practice and each fabric is different. You do have to do a practice piece first. I did learn about using it for decorative stitches.

What brand seam guide is it?

When threading your serger using this technique, I have never been able to take it through the needles. Is that correct? You still need to thread the needle or am I doing something wrong?

How do i get this im from nigeria

What type of fabric should the strap be?

Will you make the the bodice video available?

Pretty standard “tips” that beginners can learn from manual or any blog or video. Would be interested in lesser known tips!

I love #4 ❤ I have a 1950's Necchi that has decorative stitches I never use, well here's a great use for them! Definitely going to give it a go, thank you!

Thank you; this was very helpful! :)

Did you trim around the scalloped edges?

That is really pretty. Thank you for the tutorial; now I have one more thing to add to the list of things to try ;D

Beautiful!!

I can't understand your accent so I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but never backstich with a twin needle because it will break

Can you use it to sew corset

Well, it bears repeating, you are very talented. And patient. I usually slash my shirts with an exhaust pipe, while I'm sliding under the car ... :)

Totally beautiful! Going to have to do lots of practice though.

This is fabulous and so beautiful. You are incredibly talented. Thank you for showing this. I love the colors.

This is beautiful ❤️ thank you.

This is great, I have some jeans I need to hem, thank you so much ❤️

Wow!❤ I never seen before this technic, very interesting snd the resoult is perfect👍 thank you.

Yes faux fur and all about presser-feet.

Thank you for the great tips.

So simple and smart. I’m going to use one of my coffee mugs. Thanks

😮😊

That's a nice Elna.

Would the CS10 work with tapestry fabric?

Had to mute. Sounded like a whistling tea kettle 🤮

I wish you had shown us the finished dress. I had trouble visualizing it.

And how do you get it over your head without popping stitches?

Underrated thing to do

Jack. The poor person’s Juki 🥹

For the overcast stitch, you could also lower the tension to reduce pulling. On the Brother computerized machines, this can be done individually for each stitch pattern and saved in memory.

I have also never liked the zig zag stitch as a finish! I love the personalized message idea!
