Hey, this is a tutorial on how to remove an overlock stitch. It makes it much easier! It's in German, but i think with subtitles, it'll be fine.

Great video. Can you make a tutorial on how to taper military pants just tike those for service men and women?

Is there a way you can make more room in the shoulders? I can't seem to find a video on that.

I followed the "half way the through pocket" instruction, which even turned out to be more than 6 inches, but in the end I still have too much fabric where the new seam ends - kinda like a diaper effect, if that makes sense. Should I have gone lower with the cut? Did I not taper correctly? What should I improve? The waist feels great now bw

Great video. Did you know my grand father invented the Steam Iron? He also invented the gathering foot and the ruffler foot.😊 The black iron was close to his pattern.

Wow! I sure wish you were MY tailor!

So I found you hunting for a great steam iron only knowing in the back of my mind I probably am going to need to just settle for something normal. I was in the apparel industry on a major level for 45 years and yes I am old. You are correct about the temp/steam. As you mentioned in a professional level with a boiler you can adjust the temp but never do because its about the steam which is dry steam. How I miss bringing my cloths to work using the steam press and so fast compared to a iron. The days of taking anything with a wrinkle out almost for life are gone. 2-3 seconds on a sleeve and you better lean back to keep your face away. The new irons out there are driving me nuts. On/off steam no steam burst of steam like why. Anyway first time seeing the mid level thanks for sharing and nice shop. :) Was looking at your sewing machines in vids. X Commercial mechanic here nice stuff.

Hooray! I finished the Mother of Bride dress and it was a success! Thank you for your video! It was a lifesaver!

Good

Has anyone found it impossible not to get a buckle in the bottom of the top stitching? I struggled with it for hours before abandoning brand new Abercrobie jeans to the garbage 😢

I JUST ASKED YOU ON YOUR SLIMMING YOUR PANTS VIDEO TO DO ONE ON THE CAMOUFLAGE SHIRT !😅 very next video here it is 😂❤ Once again I collect and wear military camouflage from all around the world . Being brand new to sewing your so important. I asked this in the other video also. Can you direct me to a supplier with all the camouflage military style straps Cordura ext. ? ❤

I'm just learning or going to be learning. I enjoy camouflage especially the airforce ABU tigerstripe pattern from the GWOT (GLOBAL WAR ON TIERROR) which was discontinued as a services back in 2018. I'm going to need straps BDU fabrics 500 & 1000 Cordura edging foilage velcro. Your video on milatry pants was perfect I hope you teach us the lower legs and the tops. QUESTION can you direct me to a supplier for the type of products I'm going to need . Ebay is nice but I would rather deal with a professional supplier. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us newbies 😊❤

I collect and wear camouflage from all over the world and they mostly all fit like that. I very new to sewing as not a stich yet. But getting my tools I have a new like 1980s sewing machine gifted me with its own table instruction book and a handful of fittings. I spent the first half of my day trying to find a video on taking in camouflage pants. I gave up watching other content for hrs and ....BAM YOUR VIDEO ON TAKING IN CAMOUFLAGE PANTS COME S ON. THANK YOU SO MUCH❤. LOWER LEGS AND ARMS NEXT ?😊❤

As a new sewer I wanted to hem my polo shirts and athletic gear. Found out I needed to purchase a cover stitch machine. Everything you said is TRUE!! Ha. This machine does one thing and it is the only machine that does it. Don’t be fooled!! I love the results but is is not versatile. I just bought another (no, I don’t own 7) domestic sewing machine and it can do everything else. I appreciate your honesty to set the record straight. If I want to hem my polos, I can either do zig zag OR use my cover stitch machine. Right?

This is just what I needed, thank you!

i just went to a tailor and they said its impossible to fix torn leggings and blam I find this video. They wont get my money then.

This was perfect! I had to hem a bridesmaid dress at the last minute. This video was perfect and saved the day!

She talks like me when i'm constipated taking a sheet, while talkn to my girlfriends friend on the phone.

You are amazing!

Great video. I am learning so much... Thank you. What brand is your TEX thread? Do you have a recommended source for purchasing TEX 30 and TEX 60?

Love your attitude and how savy and witty you get with irons. I have a profesional iron that I got years ago and stopped using, and remember it came with some type of sand particles to put in the water tank for it to clean itself. can you help me with that? mine didnt come with that extra tube that hangs beneath the water dispenser. TIA

Wow, thank you so much! I have a Christmas party to go to tonight and the beautiful navy blue suit wanted to wear, well, I was too fat for the pants, which I haven’t worn in a couple of years. I followed your instructions exactly and it worked!! The pants fit me perfectly!!

Brilliant 😍 far easier than the system I’ve been using.

Thanks so much for sharing - super clear! And thanks Mr. Ray too, of course

Smart people are good teachers, just like her. She talks about the key points every single time when new problems raises.

you can use a flatlock or blind hem for a shirt cause in my previous work in ralph lauren we have designs like a ladder stitch ala flatlock and blind hem ...and also we have that kind so im okay with any seam hem

Yo no vi que hicieras nada

This is a lifesaver video! I am shortening shoulders on a mother of bride dress with sequins! The sleeve has a seam at top so I am using that to create a dart to ease in the smaller size. I have it basted--no cutting and the customer is coming over tomorrow for fitting before I continue. Thank you for your helpful and funny! video! I. love your humor!

i've repaired my jeans since elementary school. i am not a professional, just grew up where repairing clothes was necessary. here's some things i've learned about setting jean tacks. i still set tacks in nearly all of my new jeans to make bachelor buttons for my suspenders. - protect the face of your tack: put a piece of thick card stock down on your anvil and strike from the back like in the video. cut out the side of an old cereal box or something and go two layers. put the brown/papery side up. if the color side is up, it can sometimes transfer to the face of the tack. - more accurate hammering: use a heavier hammer. use a 4lb mash hammer, should cost $10-15. a 4lb mash hammer doesn't need to be swung. you just lift it above the tack and let it drop. it's much easier to control a heavier hammer falling a short distance than it is to control a light hammer while swinging it a large distance. strike twice. the first should be from about 2" away from the tack to set it. the second should be 8"-12" away depending on how beefy the tack is. - anvils: you can use two hammers. the side of a hammer is called the cheek. put down a piece of cardboard or a few layers of thick cloth. lay one hammer on its side and put the protective cardstock and the face of the tack down on the cheek of that hammer. then use the second hammer to strike. this will generally protect your table. the hammer you lay down doesn't need to be large or heavy, just big enough for the tack face to lay on it. that said, a tiny anvil is probably $10 or less most places including amazon. a piece of hard wood will also work as an anvil. i've even used a bit of 2x4 and gotten decent results, just took an extra strike. - to prevent future tearing: check the tack post around the base and make sure it is smooth. any roughness there will slowly abrade its way through your jeans causing an early failure. i always stitch down a piece of denim on the backside of my repair before adding the new tack for maximum durability. if you're repairing work pants for a tradesman or laborer, this is probably a good idea to adopt. hope that's helpful to someone.

She should be a school teacher for sewing, be directions I've ever seen.

This is fantastic! Thank you! None of these videos show the alteration with the seam not there. In my mind I was doing it like this, yet I was intimidating myself. I didn’t want to damage the man’s slacks.

Thank you so much. This is one of the best examples I have seen yet on how to hem jeans and save the original hem.

Also, you measured the fitting pins at 1.25 inches, but cut off more and hemmed. The math ain’t mathing.

Why remove the safety pins and mark, only to fold at the same place to sew?

good lord what a woman.

Thank you for this video. I will see if I can get some insight on cover stitching from your channel for use with the new unused brother machine that was bought 6 months ago. Severe tunneling and no idea how to make it meet the hem. I put all my knit fabrics in a time out and went back to woven less comfortable clothing.

This is the only hem that I do on these brides maid gown. The extra row of thread adds stability and body to the gown. Always perfection

The orange shirt is way too big. He should not have bought it. I wish I could see the finished shirt.

Not impressed...

You are a great presenter!

The professional way of shortening a suit jacket sleeve like this is to actually unpick it at the armhole, recut the sleeve head and resew it. That way you keep the original sleeve hem intact.

I had some stretchy pants that had HUGE holes and thanks to this video I finally fixed it! It isn't perfect, but this video gave me the courage to finally do it!

Great demonstration.

Short guy here, goodwill was 50% off today, stocked up on four cashmere/ wool jackets, two of them got this treatment. Saved thousands by thrifting, saved hundreds by following your videos. I cant believe what i'm able to wear for less than the cost of a new pair of levis

Question--have a bridesmaid dress to alter--client is very well endowed--I am not sure this method would work for the bodice!

talk too much not really guiding

Nice Nail Polish

The only one i trust

I am thinking of "cropping" a sequin top that is full sequins. I am petrified of sewing a full sequin hem...do you think fuse tape would work?

Love your video! So organized, precise and fun! I am doing alterations on metallic fabric dress.
