I've been sewing 50 years and your video still had several things I didn't know! Doubles thread, Snipping the seam allowance to spread out the thickness, great tips. Thank you. Also, you are entertaining, yet clear. So rare.

Welcome back. 3:48 I like using a longer stitch length on almost everything. In part because it’s easier to take the stitches out if you need to.

Thank you! Found some cool flowery denim and will make "scratch panels" so my cat doesn't mess up my couch any more than it is already scratched up. It's okay, I love my kitties more than my couch. A lot of these tips I learned a long time ago - they just left my mind - so thank you for posting these tips! Cheers! 🌺🐱

@eleanoreagly48445 ай бұрын
match the needle to the weight of the denim. 14 for light weight, 16 for medium, 18 for heavy- weight.denim,. The right size may also depend upon how many layers you intend to sew through, The video tip on pounding the layer flatter is helpful, Of course pounding takes place away from the sewing machine.

In a pinch you can use a button as a hump jumper. You can stitch the hem in a regular thread that matches the color of the denim, then switch to your topstitch thread and make another pass. This will insure that the hem is caught 100 percent by the first stitch line

Hey April, you mentioned pressing on the highest heat possible and also using polyester thread. Would this melt the thread? Or is the pressing done prior to stitching?
