That's an unreliable stitch, because if the thread is torn in any spot, it will be easily pulled out.

I will try your method. I hate sewing around the pulls especially when my tape is tacked down. I was always unsure where to start the zipper (at the tape end or the zipper stop) anyway your way is decisive

Best video out there on this topic. You did a great job. Thank you, so helpful

Thank you! This is great.

I bought a new polyester dress that already has a 1/2 inch hem on it. I need about 5 inches taken off and re-hemmed but I haven't found a video that shows how to do this. I've only found videos like yours that need raw edge hemming. Can you help me with hemming an already hemmed dress?

thank you for this tutorial, just wondering will the pattern work on a4 paper as i noticed you use US letter size and we don’t have that paper in the UK. help would be greatly appreciated from anyone thank you

I love thongs and g-strings and jockstraps play one of my favorite types of underwear do you sell directly

I am a longtime sewist of over 55 years. You did excellent. Very clean, neat, well explained work. Your zipper technique seems to work just fine. My mother who has sewed all her life and I watched your video. One suggestion, no music. Felt like we were on a carnival ride 😅

No doubt the best video on YT for a knitbinding 👍👍. Could u make a video on using fold elastic for the neckbinding ? Thank you 😊

Maximum respect to you for helping us out like this big homie.

Thank you! I'm about to hem ruffled sleeves on a scuba fabric dress. This instruction really helped!

Hi Carl, do you have please patterns and videos for sewing hoodies please?

I finished my garment using your technique. I am forever grateful for your instruction! I am just beginning to sew with knitted fabric, and is so much easier when someone shows you the process. Thanks again for your kindness ! Wishing you the very best , today and always.

You are awesome! Thanks so much for showing this… just what I needed today!

Thank you!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Carl, this is awesome and helpful. i wonder if you have videos on how to sew a hoodie? do you have the patterns for hoodies available at etsy to purchase? thank you

Awesome 👌, how to use a serger please 🙏

Thanks so much! I'm looking for a way to make a gathered stretch stitch that can replace/do the same function as elastic sewn onto the fabric. I know it has to exist. I want to hand stitch a gathered flexible cuff on a pair of capris. "Think pirate pants." ... or gypsie farmer LOL

Great tutorial and pattern, fit on the first try 🎉

❤❤❤❤

Finally the design i want

Please cutting ki ful video bnao

Hi Carl, I read your story, your company and how everything was affected by Covid too. I love what I saw you do and how you do it, you are a very good teacher, I saw the thong tutorial and I was excited about it because I only wear that, I can't wear boxers anymore, I can't breathe, I would like to see you doing more of this , jocakstraps, thong with Y back, do you know what they are? and small things so comfortable that sometimes they fit in the closed hand, Ha Ha I already wrote too much, I send you a hug, luck and good fortune

Missing you hope to see more sewing tutorials my wife can’t stop wearing their shirt

*¿PORQUÉ DESPERDICIAS TANTA TELA "CANIJO"?*

Can I make this without a serger and just straight stitch + zig zag? Also, could I skip the leg elastic if I have a sufficiently stretchy fabric?

What serger are you using?

I have never been successful in sewing stretch fabric until this video! It’s been very helpful and the most clear explanation out there that works for me.

Very helpful tip, thank you! (Lisa)

What a fantastic space! (Lisa)

Looks fantastic! (Lisa)

People don't realise that the machine needle can make an enormous difference to the quality of stitch.

I use magic eraser for many things but wouldn't have thought to use it for the iron. Thank you very much!!

This is super cool! 😍😍😍

Very helpful video, I cant wait for your pattern using this technique! (Lisa France).

Very helpful video. I have purchased the pattern and am excited to try it out! (Lisa France).

2/17/24 Please do videos on single welt pocket, double welt pocket and pocket lining, patch pocket and sew it on jacket. You are a good teacher. Keep teaching step by step.

How much it stretch on waist, i guess the cloth is stretchable too

These are great ideas! I for sure am going to do the cropped one. If I may make a suggestion or two. For example, when cutting the bottom off the cropped hoodie, Instead of starting at the hem, carefully make a tiny snip in the line you will be cutting. This won't apply to everyone, but, this will leave the bottom piece intact for use on some other project. One such project could be a shirt extender. I. One of those people whose shirts are too short. Also, it could be a skirt or a start of a skirt. Either idea, turn the piece upside down and use the ribbing for a waistband. May need to take it in. The other parts, sleeves, hood, etc, could be used to make a multi colored sweatshirt. Just thought I'd leave a few of my thoughts. When I watch videos, my brain tends to go into overdrive!

Can you also do this on a sewing machine instead of a serger? I love the lettuce edges

Thank you I love the ideal it’s great😊

Thanks it looks like it was done on a sewing machine
