[@dannz2241]

play at 1.75 speed ,very helpful👏👏☺️

[@nalinneha4609]

I'm glad Im not only the impatient one😂 I watched at 2X speed tho. She explains too much but it's helpful

[@kayladarling9117]

O.o you just changed my entire life. I didn't know you could change the speed. I'm SUPER ADHD, slow talking makes it so hard to focus. I learn and understand SO much easier when it's fast!!!!! You. Are. Amazing.

[@kayladarling9117]

Well... I guess normal speed talking, not slow- just slow for my brain lol

[@imaginethatsyjohnniqa7869]

Thank you because I was falling asleep 😭🤞🏾💯

[@2KITTIES-CLRR]

I've seen several videos about this stitch. But, yours is the first I've seen which explains exactly where to put your needle for each part of the stitch. TYSM for sharing this video with us. It's very helpful. 👍😉

[@RokoleeDIY]

Glad it was useful!

[@aerialkate]

Excellent thank you. I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain little things that other tutorials miss and that you anticipate problems such as how to end the stitching. Because so many just say "Here i just sewed over myself" (whatever that means)/ "I did a couple of backstitches" - that doesn't work for certain situations and absolute beginners just think "I've got to go to another tutorial now to find out how to do that!". Stuff like that puts people off perservering. I've watched a couple of your clips and am impressed so I subscribed.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank-you very much for your nice comment :) ... I do like to be thorough!

Thank you so much! I have no sewing skills whatsoever, and this video showed me how to accomplish my first project of repairing a seam on my husband’s coveralls. So proud!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent! Glad you found it useful :)

[@ela2168]

Loved this video. Thank you so much. It literally took me only 10 minutes to fix my jeans with these stitches. Thank you again.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Glad it helped!

[@derrenlambert2279]

Got a seam come apart on the cuff of an Alpha Industries MA1 pilot jacket, your video has saved me a fortune, was gonna buy a new one, not now.. Thank you.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Awesome, glad it helped!

[@Isabella0923]

This was super helpful. i was looking at like five videos to learn how to do this stitch and none of them were as helpful as this video thank you so much 🙂😊

[@RokoleeDIY]

Aw i'm so glad! Thanks for watching :)

[@carolmalenofski90]

I viewed many invisible seam stitch tutorials before I found this one which is the very best and easiest to understand and follow. Thanks.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Aw thank you :D

[@sojournertothecity4037]

Great little video, without background music often found on other sites which can drown out the instructions. Thank you.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you :)

[@bigron2215]

Thank you ma'am from Sunny San Diego 🌞! Excellent tutorial. You are appreciated. 👍🏾

[@RokoleeDIY]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Thanks! I hadn't sewn anything for 20 years, since 6th grade home ec. I easily managed to repair a pocket seam with this video. Those simple things feel empowering. . .

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent! I'm glad the video was useful :)

[@hazydreamer7965]

Extremely helpful. Thank you, now I´ll look for your other videos.

[@alexanderbt1987]

Wow, you did a wonderful job of walking us through every single, little step, thank you for that and for the diagram, VERY helpful! Also loved the little trick of hiding the thread at the end!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Aw thank you :D

[@xg__garbled]

i wish all tutorials were this clear and informative. thank you for taking the time to make and share this video. 🦋

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you very much :D

[@terrancetonyatalks7724]

That’s just what I needed. Thankssss!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent!

[@ElsieMarina]

Thank you so much! This is such a well explained video with all the details I needed!, just repaired my jeans and it turned pretty fine on my first try!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you :) Glad you found the video useful!

[@MamaBanana]

Great tutorial. The graphic was so helpful. Also since it’s not an actual project you are working, it was super clear to see what you were doing. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks very much :D I'm glad you found it useful.

[@johntay8725]

Hi Rokolee, this is an excellent video! Thank you! However, I found that inserting the needle below the fold of the hem like at 4:47 produces a hem that is rippled and not flat. The thread pulls that little bit more material to the top once the stitch is tightened. I found that inserting the needle right smack on the fold itself produced a much better final look.

[@clairebordeaux]

But if you insert the needle down into the fold, it wouldn’t be hidden, right?

[@johntay8725]

@@clairebordeaux I have to admit I was using black thread on my wife's black office skirt so I probably had a lot more room for error. Having a crinkly looking office skirt was just unacceptable, so I improvised. I felt the end result was pretty good, you wouldn't notice the repair if you weren't staring hard at it. Fun fact: The wifey never wore it again after the repair. She doesn't trust the stitches would hold... T.T

[@IshitaPandey10]

Thank you for the tutorial. Your instructions were really easy to understand, for a beginner like myself.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you :)

[@ElysiumASMR]

Thank you for this! just fixed a tie on my favourite wrap dress using your instruction

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent! Glad it helped you :)

[@4dystopian_edits6]

Thank you sooo much! This is the only tutorial that helped me successfully do this stitch! I’m making a throw pillow and want to close off the area I stuffed through

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent! I'm glad it worked for you :)

[@ShaneNewville]

Ive had zero reason to sew until my kids' stuffed animals started getting holes in them. This is super helpful. thank you!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent! Glad it helped you

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

Thank you so much. I had a pair of pants that ripped at the seam. There is a lining so I could realistically sew it on the inside. I also didn't have the correct color thread and this worked wonderfully

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent! Glad you found it useful :)

[@xaverivsvictor]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks for watching :)

[@llddau]

I did it! Thanks so much for teaching me this. I’ve tried to make an invisible stitch before but let’s say it was not very good. Just kind of made it up as I went along and found out that was not the time to be creative. I am going back to my dress to unpick a re-sew now! I am a bit apprehensive as the material is very thin but the splits are not really where people would see the stitching anyway. Can you now show us how to fix a very small hole in a top with thin-ish material?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks and good luck! Watch this space :)

Thank you so much! I’m sewing the back of the mouth of a giant stuffed Bullfrog and didn’t know what I was going to do. Thank you so, so much! Very easy to understand. I couldn’t help but to notice that your fingernails are trying to tell you that you are low on calcium... that’s why your moons are bright and you have white marks in the nail....impersonally prefer flint stone chewable vitamins and I’m 61! They seem to be higher in mineral content. Thanks again, JeriLynn

[@sharon5474]

Where do you find that needle holder? It looks really handy!

[@RokoleeDIY]

It's just what the needles came in when I bought them :)

[@HoodSwami]

Great video! Do you tie a knot on the end opposite of the needle to make sure they don’t just pull through when you get near the end?

[@RokoleeDIY]

As long as you secure the thread to the fabric (with some kind of knot) at the beginning and end, it'll work :)

[@briarwentling5435]

I had a pillow with stuffing that was getting compressed to the point that it didn't really work as a pillow anymore. I cut it open, added some more stuffing, and sewed it back up with this. I could have pulled the thread tighter, but other than that, the transplant surgery was a success

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent!

[@admac5117]

Nice Info, Nice Speech Too..

[@clairebordeaux]

I am repairing holes in my husband’s shorts...the bottom of the front pockets seams have come apart (I assume from him placing his keys in them repeatedly over time). Is this an appropriate stitch to use? Will it be strong enough?

[@RokoleeDIY]

If those seams are visible when worn I would use invisble stitch, but if those seams are hidden I would use backstitch because it's stronger :)

Your video is nice and up to the point, I m trying this on my jacket back vent where it was torn, the jacket is leather, what you might suggest for me? Thanks!

[@RokoleeDIY]

If the leather is too thick for using the invisible stitch, I would try backstitch along the seam and if that doesn't work, the most popular stitch for leather is saddle stitch :)

[@kaitlynn7667]

if i were to ever need to, would i be able to undo this?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Sure, just use a seam ripper :)

[@j-iangeulen5411]

thankyou...

[@bin._.pan_]

Im just starting to sew because i want to make plush toys, but im having trouble cutting the fabric big enough to fold so that id be able to sew the seams, i just finished a really bad plush because of no folding, please help 😭 When i sketch out do i attach the paper to the fabric so that i can make it bigger to fold?

[@RokoleeDIY]

I'm not 100% sure but I think you're talking about seam allowances - you need to add a seam allowance around the edge of the shape so that you have enough fabric to then make the seam. I'd put that term into Google to learn more about it, I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials out there :)

[@Bandrik]

I feel like I'm learning there forbidden secrets of the dark arts. Things I never thought I would bother to learn, yet here I am anyways. Thanks for the video. Useful to know!
