BEST WAY for Sewing Perfect Set in Sleeves

[@ABM750]

Who ever heard of crimping 🌸great tip thank you will try this 🌿

[@maryaston1607]

I’ve been sewing for over 60 years and never heard of this technique so I’ll definitely give it a go. Thank you for sharing x

[@sheridreamer]

Oh my goodness!!! I have been sewing 40 years and have never seen this technique! Thank you so much!

[@bonnielundholm5535]

I've been sewing for 45+ years and only learned of this crimping technique a couple weeks ago, and that was in a quick IG reel, so no details. Thank you for explaining more about it. I will give it a try.

[@janschubart4419]

I was taught this technique way back in 1962 as an apprentice dressmaker. Works every time.

[@christelgrimmer4478]

​ i am just a hobby sewist, but I know about this technique since the early 70s. It makes the sleeve sit nicely.

[@LeeB43]

😮

[@ellekewilms6891]

A rolled-up towel to iron the sleeve inset! Nifty! 😃

[@cecmay1]

I did exactly what you shouldn't do.😆Thank you for this tutorial.

[@pa4tim]

You are right, your tips are for women, I'm a man and my machine won't do the gathering. Not with, nor without double feed( Pfaff IDT) 🙂 But I tried just a straight stitch and no double tap at the start or end and then I can use the loose ends to gather the sleeve. I'm glad I first watch your video because this summer jacket is my first project (and design) And I started to panic when I first found out I made two left sleeves, then my hand did not go through (to narrow at the end) and after correcting that they where bigger in diameter at the body side.

[@howardgoldstein867]

I have been sewing for 60+ years & have never seen this easy technique before...I can't wait to try it...............

[@linnetgood2449]

Correct! I've been teaching this method to my sewing students; I'm amazed how little known it is, because it's so useful. When learning to do this, it helps to remember to press the finger down and towards the presser foot - this is so you don't forget to keep it there. Beginners can sometimes lose track of that finger as they concentrate on the sewing process, and allow it to drift away, thus losing the benefit of the crimping. ☺️

[@YogaladyToronto]

Thanks! Do you recommend removing the ‘crimp” stitch that gathered the sleeve cap after the sleeve is sewn in❓❓❓

[@linnetgood2449]

@@YogaladyToronto I have never bothered; it's usually covered by the overlocking (serging) or whatever method I am using to finish the raw edges.

[@YogaladyToronto]

@@linnetgood2449 Thank you.

[@JoVo1111]

Oh thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m a mediocre seamstress just sewing for fun. Ive always been able to read patterns (even when they are ridiculous directions so I modify them to meet my own standards). I love making garments because I love clothing and it’s like therapy for me. Similar to putting together puzzles. Just bought a gathering foot because I had never heard of those either and hoped it would make set on sleeves a lot easier. Haven’t even open the package yet but I’m going to try your method first…right now! Yesterday I set one sleeve of a nightie and it has an acceptable finish but I struggled with the hand sewn gathering stitches at the ease points to get it done. I actually walked away from the project yesterday because I wasn’t ‘in the mood’ to go through that again on the other side. Now I’m actually looking forward to getting this done today. By the way, I’m also working with knit and that just makes everything harder. 😂 You got yourself a new subbie. ❤ Came back to tell you it worked like a *charm* ! I finished the project with a smile on my face! That sleeve took only a few minutes. This will be a simple technique I’ll never forget! Thanks again!

[@sueanderson2514]

I have been sewing since I was 7, I’m now 64. I am amazed at this technique for sleeves hems and pockets. I usually do a stay stitch. Thank you ❤

[@thenorthernsewist]

I’ve been sewing since I could remember life starting! And I’m now 66! And I’ve never seen this before! Wow! Thankyou so much, this I am going to try! ❤️❤️❤️😮

[@YogaladyToronto]

❤❤❤❤❤ I have been sewing for 40 yrs. and HATE sewing in sleeves in woven fabrics. I would CURSE the pattern companies for designing sleeves with TOO MUCH EASE! So,I would trim off some of the ease on the sleeves cap. Much appreciation for this tutorial! ✅

[@belindamyers4493]

Oooh boy.. I need to watch more of your stuff❤❤

[@fastcoffee9878]

As a novice sewing man, this is an amazing trick! Thank you.

[@t.lucalake8963]

THANK YOU!!, BEAUTIFUL LIZA. This relatively new male sewist appreciates this valuable tip.😊 👍

[@pkirkey6932]

I have been sewing since about 1960 and I’m only learning about this technique today. I’ve been carefully gathering and pinning sleeve caps all my life. I can’t wait to try this.

[@clairehewitt3381]

I've been sewing since I was about 11, I did a 3 year degree in fashion and I've never seen this technique! Thank you ❤

[@starcloudwings9908]

Generally I am skeptical of KZbin videos. The comments tend to be positive and appreciative no matter how bad the video is! But this… your teaching method is perfect! Thank you!

[@bethr1198]

I’ve been sewing for 40 years and this is a fantastic idea! I will certainly be trying it on my next sleeve. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@estherng6496]

“Thank you so much for sharing your sewing techniques! I found your method for sewing sleeves incredibly helpful. As a beginner, I really appreciate your clear instructions and beautiful ideas. I look forward to trying it out!”🙏🙏

[@annetteavery3349]

I agree, the best way to learn is just try it at the machine. I have been sewing for over 50 years and I like the relaxed way you have of explaining , thank you

[@arpitabal17]

You r amazing. .whole my life I have been sewing passionately n now I know this. .when ever I come across such brainy ideas am all ready to try..❤ Thanks a lot...Happy subscriber. 😊

[@judyblackmancallender3663]

WOW!!! A great technique! Wish I'd learnt that hack about forty five years ago. I'm now in my sixties, and still sewing clothing. So, I will get to use it often. Back in the day, tutors never explained anything to you as a young new sewist. They just told you "No! Don't Don't gather it like that, just ease the sleeve into the armhole. And poor you, you hadn't the faintest idea of what they were talking about. Even after they showed you how to do it, you still didn't 'get it'. 😢😢😢 Which was indeed very frustrating. 😂😂😂 Ha ha ha ha 😅😅😅❤❤❤ But, thank God, we live and we learn. Happy sewing day to all in the business. 😊😊😊😊

[@katehirst6046]

Fantastic! Both the crimping method and the rolled towel for ironing sleeves. ❤❤❤

[@KMx108]

This method is a lot faster and easier than the method i learned about 30 years ago. Thank you!!

[@susanbanack4855]

Another sewing trick to add to my sewing basket. Thank you 🎉

[@emmamajor9584]

Ive been sewing for 35+years and never knew this technique! Thank you for sharing this knowledge

[@cyndy338]

Genius!🤯🤩👏👏👍👍😊

[@rubymcmahon-harvey752]

Thank you for this video. I been sewing for years and have never have I seen anything as simple as this. Your explanation was very good. Thank you

[@rawforyou5514]

Such a wonderful video! Thank you! I will immediately send it through to my granddaughter, who shares the same passion for sewing as her gran! 😄

[@pattyriley1404]

This technique is amazing! It’s always been a moment of stress and holding of my breath as I get ready to insert the dreaded sleeve🫣 This hack has changed my attitude and restored my confidence! Thank you so much!

[@1339su]

Good technique. I’m newer for sewing. I like to learn a lot. Thanks. 🙏🏼

[@spoonv]

Seriously, WOW! What a game changer tip. Thank you so much, I can now move on from my project paralysis!

[@AnnicaEdstrom]

Wow! This is absolutely one thing that I will test 👍 Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@suemcevoy5510]

Thank you for sharing this technique. I bought a new home sewing machine and haven't had time to work with it and I will definitely use this new technique next!

[@Elkycreates]

Thank you. I have added this to my little book of sewing notes. I will even try this technique when gathering tiers for skirts…I may have to pull bobbin threads more but at least I can start with consistent gathers.

[@onomeredakesena9936]

We!!! At last!! Help came through 😂😂

[@OpstvedtToril]

You can do this much easier. If you put the sleeve part against the feed dogs when sewing in the sleeve, this will happen automatically. This is because the fabric layer closest to the feed dogs are pulled more than the top layer (the body).

[@marygautreaux2431]

Wow! That makes so much sense! I will try this! Great tip!

[@Dulceknits]

🤩 wow….I am s glad I saw this tutorial and I will surely put into practice. Thank you.

[@meiping5523]

Hi, thank you for sharing the tips on sewing the sleeves. I tried it and I succeeded! It’s became so ease to sew on the sleeve even has 3.5cm ease. 🙏🌹

[@johannabezuidenhout4252]

Thnx for sharing this with us I think the dressmakers don't know about it.

[@lisaharmon5619]

1st time that I have ever seen this!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@Sujowi]

A new technique that seems too simple! I’ve always done a loose gather so will give this a try next time.

[@shirleyharman6202]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge - I can't wait to try this simple method

[@Kakkydidit]

I have used gathering threads in the seam allowances for the applications you mentioned, but I might like this crimping method better! Thank you!

[@zizi_strizi001]

This technique will also help me making bags! Somehow my linling is always a little bit too big. Thank you

[@osmoseelf1117]

Amazing technique that will save us all a LOT of time...

[@evaabdul5101]

I love the simple way you show the people who love sewing so easy to learn from you thanks watching from trinidad and tobago love you

[@kathrynletchford5114]

Wow. Thank you. I have always just done a gathering stitch. I will try this method.

[@peterjanssen5901]

Thanks a mil, just what I needed to know for an upcoming project. :)

[@mariaradebe207]

You are so cute. This is most certainly very helpful and yes the best way to prove it is to practice,practice,practice. Thank you very much.

[@rehanasahib457]

Thanks you so much i was just buzy with a sleeve that didn't fit then i tried this and it fits like a clove ❤❤

[@sporranheid]

Excellent tutorial. 👍

[@HumodHadi]

Thank you very much. I was trying to find ways to practice. Up untill now, I make the whole bodice with the sleeves to practice which is redundant and tedious. But the crimping method... saw it in another video but she never explained it as good as you. Also, as I was watching your excellent video, like about in the last part, I was having those questions: tell me how to practice, ok you did not explain the stitch length... you answered everything. I assume you have a lot of years of experience, you are good at teaching. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@brendabuckley7071]

Love your delivery you are a natural. Thanks for the tip on setting sleeves in !

[@yvobalcer]

An easier way is to use your serger, change the differential feed to 1.5 and the feed dogs on the serger does the work. Depending on the fabric, you might need to clip as you sew. Each sleeve takes about 2 minutes. Then I sew the sides.

[@drivinfool9902]

I love you. Was scrolling and struck gold. Great info and you are clearly explaining and showing. Your voice is also please and precise. I plan to "get my hands dirty." 😊❤

[@fairweee8058]

So glad I found your channel!! Thankyou for this sewing tip. The patterns I purchase never seem to line up where the sleeves are. ❤

[@e-prog9968]

AMAZING!!! You basically were talking about me,the one who is terrifically afraid when it is time for attaching sleeves....

[@beataks8859]

I subscribed, you're a genius! Thank you for sharing!💛

[@mihaelabossoukpe8569]

The sleeves are always my problem. I am a beginner in sewing. Thank you so much for your video. I shall try it. Greetings from Bucharest, Romania.

[@ElenaHarashchuk]

Great idea! I have never seen that technique before, although I sew more than 30 years and watched a lot of sewing videos

[@johannechampagne7332]

Always feel amazed at this point in my sewing journey to learn something new. Thank you!!

[@kylieinnocente242]

Amazing - this technique works and is efficient. thank-you so, so much!

[@skyhowie54]

I have always disliked inserting a line (or two) of gathering stitches because inevitably a gather gets sewn into the seamline, resulting in unpicking, not to mention the difficulty of evenly spacing the gathers--it's always such a fussy technique. I will definitely have to give your method a try. Thank you, Liza!

[@raraavis7782]

Same. That's how I was taught to do it...but it was always my least favorite part of assembling a garment for sure. I will often just sew that upper, gathered part of the sleeve by hand with a small back stitches. Failproof but very time consuming.

[@suzannedebell9379]

🙏Thank you so much…you have a new subscriber 😊 I can't wait to explore more videos on your Channel 🤗

[@akaterine7585]

I had this problem with blouse I recently finished, I thought I messed up when cutting fabric so I made small armpit gusset 😂. Thanks to you I know what to do next time ❤

[@sarawelder1]

WOW! I never knew this! Thank you .. ( I'm in my 70's... better late than never!)

[@drivinfool9902]

Absolutely 💯

[@catherinephillips8925]

I use this technique of crimping to fix a slightly large neckline by re sewing over the original sew line while crimping. It usually reduces it enough .

[@Brandyp2010]

Outstanding 👌👏👏👏

[@gillianbc]

Oh my goodness! I just tried it on a garment that was giving me trouble and it worked first time, easily, perfectly and took no time at all. It was like magic! It's the neatest set-in sleeve I've ever done. I still have the other one to do, but I am really, really pleased. Thank you.

[@bashmead1]

This is a game changer!

[@gloriabukachi1]

I like how you make it so simple. Thank you

[@mama2LA]

Thank you for this explanation, such a time saver!

Omg, i have to try this! Amazing, thank you!

[@natasjazeegers8569]

Thanks 🎉 love this! Love to watch you 😊

[@deoara1]

You are a great teacher. Teach= means to cause one to learn. Thank you.

[@mlck24]

Thanks! This might just be what I need for hemming circle skirts!

[@dianneunderwood8456]

After sewing for many years and thanks to KZbin, I learned this same technique 2 years ago. Always dreaded setting in sleeves as it was usually a frustrating experience having to tear out the seam when you got puckers in your sleeve cap! However after using this method it has made such a difference in the whole process and what a fabulous looking (and fitting) sleeve with no tears!! Thank you for sharing this.

[@ajc_ajc]

Great video on attaching a sleeve.

[@donnanonne8612]

I used this technique many years ago. It really works. I recently started sewing garments again and I am so happy you reminded me of this. Thank you.

[@marianhunt8899]

Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic tip.

[@sharongallagher3443]

Great time saving technique.

[@johannaholmgren8088]

I learned about crimping AGES ago, but the explanation was so unclear that I didnt really understand how to do it, so that i got crimped fabric. THIS video was very clear!!

[@funsewinglab9710]

Thank you , I tried it, the best method ever!

[@Jules-zg1ip]

Excellent advice! I will be trying this! ❤
