Thank you so much. Your demonstrations are excellent!

[@audreyh3809]

They look great! I really like the narrow elastic. You make it look so easy..lol.

[@GingerheadCo]

Thank you 😊 I like the look but it's a bit more fiddly 😉

[@amandarossouw493]

Thank you I have a cover stitch machine and had no idea it could be used for undies.❤️

[@GingerheadCo]

Thank you 😊 it can be used to make underwear in even more ways (you can have the bottom cover on top as decorative stitches, too 😀)

[@amandarossouw493]

@@GingerheadCo Thank you.🌹👍

[@debsmadethis]

Thank you for this series. It inspired me to get my coverstitch out!

[@GingerheadCo]

It’s really worth it 😊 don’t be scared, you won’t believe how quickly it becomes easy (it’s not always easy straightaway 😉) good luck with your coverstitching 😊

Great video, Alex! Love the rainbow thread and fish fabric. I have narrow picot elastic so I'll try this.🥰

Thank you Laura ♥️

I loved sewing my own knickers and I do have that pattern too. I made the brief, and in the gusset I used pure cotton interlock as it is breathable and nice and comfy near the 'girly bits'. I actually use the burrito method when attaching the gusset to the knickers, I love how it looks when you have finished and all the edges are sewn in, it is like magic!

[@GingerheadCo]

I normally burrito mine, too 😁 I think making knickers is rather fun - and the scraps can turn into something very useful (and rather pretty 😊) I tend to use cotton or viscose jersey (for the breathability reasons, too) though I did use some stretch lace on a couple of pairs and they are comfortable as well 😊

[@Allycat3270]

@@GingerheadCo I have used fold over elastic for my undies and they look great I use a stretch zig zag stitch if you use a wide fold over elastic you could use your coverstitch machine, Your local Juki dealer must really love you........

[@GingerheadCo]

@@Allycat3270 I can actually use the coverstitch binder for the foe (it takes a bit of practice but it works 😁) I'm not sure if Franklin's (the dealer) love me, I ask a lot of questions and I'm extremely particular about what I want 🤣🤣🤣

[@suepratt2536]

Nice knickers 😀, I really like these with the narrow elastic. You must have several pairs now 😘

[@GingerheadCo]

Thank you Sue 😊 I will definitely never need to buy knickers 🤣🤣🤣 I have enough for years 😁

[@SewingBunny]

You are so good and precise with your sewing! Mine would probably be all over the place 🤣 loving the rainbow thread in your coverstitch too its a beautiful finish

[@GingerheadCo]

Haha,I'm not so sure about the "good and precise" 🤣 Thank you Michelle ♥️

[@debbiebridges5121]

This is so neat I can’t wait to practice this! Thanks

[@DevonThreadTales]

This is fabulous, thank you so much for sharing. Going to give this a go xx

Thank you Angela 😊 it's a bit fiddly but I think it looks nice 🙂

[@irenedale5256]

This was so clear and helpful, thank you. 💕

[@edinacole6382]

Thank you. I have made underwear for years but never used the coverstitch because I have an Ovation and struggle to get the coverstitch to work well. I dont have room for a single use machine. Ive been trying to use it more and have better success but dont think its a great coverstitch machine.

[@GingerheadCo]

I actually quite like my ovation for coverstitching - especially for thinner fabric, I would say it is one of the best coverstitches so maybe the problem is somewhere else? I often used the ovation for my underwear because I tend to have smaller size needles (70) in it (now I use the industrial so haven't used the ovation in some time, but I have never had issues with it)

[@denisedagnone4115]

Great video thank you 💗🇦🇺

[@GingerheadCo]

Thank you 😊

[@amaliacollins8408]

This was great video! Thank you! The look so dainty - 😃 would love to see your preferred method. Thanks

[@GingerheadCo]

Thank you 😊 my favourite (fast and easy 😉) method is in my previous video (I'll try to put them in a separate playlist) 🙂

[@alisonwilliams5355]

Knickers look great & you make it look so quick and easy. I’m not familiar with cover stitch machines, why is this preferable to using an overlocker.

[@GingerheadCo]

Thank you 😊 coverstitching is not preferable as such, you can even use both for the elastic (my earlier video shows that, it's very quick but it doesn't work with very narrow elastic) Coverstitch machines are not normally used for construction and they don't have a blade for trimming fabric, but, like overlockers are great with even very stretchy fabrics so they are often used in sewing sportswear and underwear 😊 Coverstitching is mainly for finishes (you cover the seam with interlocking stitches and in most domestic coverstitch machines,you have 2 or 3 lines of "straight " stitch on the right side of the fabric 😊 this, of course can be changed - if you prefer the cover on your right side)

[@cassidyhenry4525]

What settings is the coverstitch at?

[@pollydolly9723]

Nice knickers Alex! But what would I wear on my other thigh? LOL

[@GingerheadCo]

🤣🤣🤣 there's a "size me" for everyone, that's the beauty of sewing 😁 I think in Canada you might need some more covering for this time of the year though 😉

[@emilianaxavier6164]

Hi Alex! I’d like to know if you have any course on line or face to face. I living in London e I want to have a classe of sewing machine with the better and complete professional. Thanks

[@beajannis2968]

Thank you for the video. Didn’t you have a bird in a cage? x

[@GingerheadCo]

I had 2 zebra finches (rescues) Pip died first then Poppy a few months ago. I don't actually like birds kept in captivity so hopefully we will never find another bird we'll need to take home. I did love my finches and I miss their messy presence and happy chirping, but I like birds in the wild (I don't think snakes are pets either, my husband likes snakes) All our pets are rescues so we never know what we're going to end up with 😉

[@beajannis2968]

I have 2 rescued dogs, one of them called also Poppy, the other one Pippa. They are so precious to me. 🥰

[@samanthahannon8894]

It would be easier to sew on elastic befor joining nicker seams
