I am a textile GCSE art student and this video has helped me complete my final piece (final examination of a project) thank you for your tutorial it has really helped me!

[@joycetpw]

Thank you for this! You are so sweet, bothering to make a video like this so we won't have to go through the frustration that you did! Glad it finally worked! :)

[@bonniebeach5105]

Thank you so very much for your perfect instructions. I was having the exact same problem with my sewing machine "eating" the tulle and was close to tears when I can across your video. I just sewed tulle for my granddaughter's Belle (as in Beauty and the Beast) ball gown and now it looks like a ball gown. Thank you so very much!!!

[@FaithfulBreeze]

Oh thank you so much, and yes the blue was easier to see! So helpful.

[@brittneyvonwinning1450]

Oh my gosh! Thank you THANK you for this!!! I struggled for HOURS and finally youtubed it! I adjusted my settings and it worked PERFECTLY!

[@eminetaner7273]

Omg Ive been looking for this tutorial too. Ive been sewing by hand all this time. Ive just ordered a portable light sewing machine and hope it sews this fabric on 2 speed . Glad you made this vidio clip .

[@joannlagasse5081]

Thank you….. Your video gave me the confidence that I needed to sew net (netting) fabric. After watching your video, I had no problem with the fabric or my sewing machine… Easy peasy!

[@catfishrox]

Thanks for your help! My granddaughters wanted me to make them tutus and I never sewed with tulle. Your tutorial helped much🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕💕

[@sylentskreem]

Thank you so much! I was near my wit's end! Excellent video. I was able to use these directions on my old school Sears Kenmore 1320. Thanks again!

[@dmr2838]

Omg...thank you so much. I had ordered a gathering foot and it hasn’t come in yet. So I thought I would watch some videos and yours was the first to pop up. I took a sample of tulle and followed your instructions and low and behold it worked perfectly. Thank you. Thank you. I have cancelled my order for the gathering foot.

thank you for showing us how to prepare machine for tulle thanks

[@rosehep3301]

Thank you! My machine is different, but it has buttons and levers that do that stuff. Thanks for the tip so I don't have to bother switching feet. It's October 28th and I want to pouf out a skirt with hot pink tulle. :D Happy Halloween!

[@mikelbrooks9113]

Omg thank you sm for this tutorial it really helped me🙌🏼

[@jacquelynndoeller3037]

Use wax or thin paper and then tear away. It is supposed to help prevent the machine from eating it up too. ❤️

[@minniemich7]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

[@alyssacowan5050]

exactly what I needed

[@gaylegullon3496]

Thanks for your info.

[@bizcoach7]

My problem is that it gathers all right but it's not what I want. I need an ordinary seam, not gathering.

[@AFateSoTwisted]

Try using a stabilizer. You can purchase it or you could use newspaper. Just tear it off when you're done.

[@lunera40]

I'm having problems just sawing tulle together with a straight stitch, I do not want to gather it I just need to sew together. My machine keeps eating the tulle and the stitch is not properly sawing. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[@AFateSoTwisted]

+lunera40 You could try using a tear away stabalizer. I think you can buy it in the fabric section or use news paper under the tulle and gently tear it away when you're finished sewing it. I remember seeing my mom do that with tulle when I was a kid.

[@77fri]

Thank you for sharing

[@gevonalumpkin3155]

OMG!! THANK YOU!!

[@daddyslittlegirl1778]

What kind of stitch would you use to add this to an elastic band? Through trial and error, I found out that if I sew it straight on the elastic band that it won't stretch. And that's the whole reason why I bought the elastic band; to stretch. I just want to know how to add it to another thing.

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

They always told me to pull the elastic tight (fabric isn't pulled)

[@distinctivefabric3083]

cool video

[@stacyhalper6082]

Thank you so much!

[@angstydolphin5969]

if my sewing machine likes eating a fabric I like to use tissue paper. the stuff for gifts wrapping works just fine.

[@donnarichey144]

Would this work for nylon or sheers?

[@AFateSoTwisted]

Donna Richey Probably. Try it out on a scrap piece of the material you want to use. That's how I figured out it worked for tulle.

[@thefabricexchange]

hello there, your videos are all great and helpful. May I know how could I possibly reach you further for some inquiries? Thank you!

[@AFateSoTwisted]

You can message me privately on KZbin or go to my About page and there you will find an email to message me.

[@MloesW]

What is the brand and model of your machine?

[@AFateSoTwisted]

It's a Viking Husqvarna #1

[@barbaraphoenix8763]

i dont want it to cather and it is gathering

[@AFateSoTwisted]

Use newspaper or go to a fabric store and get fabric stabalizer to keep it from gathering.

[@MichelleComesLastShalom]

Thank you!
