How to Sew with Stretch Fabric

[@infoplus9733]

I can't say enough nice things about the person making the video. I love that she understands that speaking SLOWLY and CLEARLY is important when instructing the masses, not having distracting long wildly painted fingernails and not being overly chatty just to the point. I will like and follow.

[@tr54natural5]

I’ve been sewing off and on for over 25 years. I will be sewing my first knit garment very soon. I’m so glad I watched this video. The tips given are amazing. Thank you ☺️

[@richardkirbystewart1536]

Easy to understand. No distractions. And to the point! All thumbs up!

[@WonderFilThreads]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@mariagiles3170]

This is the best explanation of sewing with stretch fabric I've seen. Thank you!

[@TheFishingExperience916]

Thanks for giving me answers instead of more questions -Thread type -needle type -machine type -stich pattern -hemming All great tips 👍 Recommend video

[@ana21cg]

The tissue paper hack has saaaaveeeeed meeeee! Thank youuu

[@WonderFilThreads]

Fantastic!! It honestly makes a HUGE difference! Glad this could help you out!

[@shontesteele3915]

This was very helpful. Thank you. I only wish that I looked for this video before I bought and started cutting and sewing my stretchy fabric. I had no idea there were special threads or needles made for stretchy fabrics. Well, it's too late for me to do things right on this project. I need to be finish within two days, and because everything that I bought for this costume cost more than anticipated, I can't even buy the right stuff that you mentioned. But I still appreciate the information. I'll save the video because I'm sure to need it again.

[@defaultcameo6341]

I cant wait to try this this weekend. I just started learning to sew and I managed to make a very poor bra and panty set using an old stretchy turtleneck sweater and I have cotton thread so I pulled the fabric as I sewed so the stitch would stretch. It was a headache. I wish someone had told me there was thread that also stretched. I was convinced it was just me being to new.

[@adadoris2044]

Thank you for this. I was actually scanning the internet on kinds of needles best for stretch fabric and I stumbled on your video. YOu just taught me so much more than I came for. I'm so happy to have come across this channel. NOTIFICATION ON!!!!!💞💞💞💞

[@WonderFilThreads]

You are so welcome! Glad to hear it was helpful!!😍😍

[@sewgirl1247]

I'm learning so much about thread and their proper uses....thanks for these videos.

[@WonderFilThreads]

Wonderful to hear! There's so many kinds of thread out there so we want to make it as easy as possible to understand how and where to use them :)

[@KKLTTL]

Wow I literally would have paid for this info here I just learned so much 😳😳💕

[@WonderFilThreads]

So glad to hear you found it useful!

[@winnierza]

Thank you for providing such an informative and fast video for us!! I agree with a comment that mentioned; you’d usually have to pay to be taught these! So thank you! On to sewing now! 💕

[@WonderFilThreads]

Aww so happy you found this tutorial useful! Good luck with your project!

[@dawnramsay5376]

This was more helpful than any video I've watched. None recommended switching the needle. Also I didn't know about the thread either.

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

I found this presentation about a year and a half after you first shared it. Highly timely for me and much appreciated. I’ve avoided stretch knits until now. Your presentation was so well produced and chock full of really great tips. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m a new subscriber and look forward to more. 😊

[@WonderFilThreads]

Thank you for your kind feedback. We appreciate every single word you said 🤗 We are really happy to provide tips!! ❤️❤️

I have so many problems with polyester!! I am hemming a bridesmaid for a friend's daughter and don't want to disappoint. You answered every single problem I am having with a short explanation as to why. I'm an educator and am always lookimg for complete explanations. Excellent video!!!

[@WonderFilThreads]

So happy to hear this video could help you out!

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

This was amazing. So useful. Thank you.

[@PeachPlastic]

I was hesitant to give Jersey another try because the first time I tried it, it came out with this hideous frill. But the adorable fabric has sat around sadly since. I'll try your tricks! Thank you for the great advice and demonstration. ♥

[@WonderFilThreads]

Hope you have fun!❤️

[@drcloudy]

Your voice is so nice to listen to. Thank you for the information!!

[@WonderFilThreads]

So nice of you! Thank you❤️❤️

[@imjusthere8059]

Quick question: when stretchy thread is up top, does that mean that stretchy thread should also be in my bobbin

[@willaroxx]

Fabulous video! Love the content and love the valuable information you’ve provided within a 5 minute video! 👍

[@havendavis1961]

So helpful! Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@Rose_Haw]

This was sadly not what I'm looking for, but I'm sure this will be very helpful for a lot of people.

[@MariselaCastillovwvianelly]

Every question I had was answered in less than 5 minutes 👍👍👍

[@patgriffin1925]

Thank you for your video. I want to make a puppy blanket with stretchy, very soft fleece. Your video will be very helpful 🙂

[@briannamichell7099]

I’ve never watched a KZbin video and needed to pull out a pen and paper 📝 thank you so much for the knowledge! I was ready to throw my machine out the dang window 😂 it just needed a simple needle swap 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂 all the other videos I watched were useless, but you, you’re fantastic! Thanks again! 🖤🖤

[@WonderFilThreads]

Hi! So glad to hear our video was helpful! Hope you continue enjoy sewing! 😘😘😘

[@rebchrismend]

[@malaysianandmoral]

[@WonderFilThreads]

Thank you! We have a tutorial on how we made it 😘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6WmeoSVZd9mgLM

[@katielove9932]

Thank you so much for all of your advice on sewing stretchy fabrics. I have been putting this off for months because I didn't want to ruin my clothing or get snags in them from the sewing. I will now try your ideas and hope for the best. God Bless!

[@Sasspen]

You gem! That tissue paper tip would have saved me a few bad words if I watched this earlier!

[@diauser3327]

nice video, i have just a regular old sewing machine without all these settings, may be could try different needle and thread options and test if that would help.

[@lisa_of_the_valleys]

I can't wait to try what I've learned here. I made a mess at my first attempt at altering my husband's stretchy athletic fabric work shirt and was scared to try again!

[@nadgram028]

The best video I've seen thus far. I've learnt so much more in this little video. Thank you so much

[@WonderFilThreads]

So happy to hear this video helped you out :)

[@KatherineM-hx4sb]

Would like to ask can you make a video about sewing heavy material or think even leather. If possible. And the different way to use a serger.

[@choux8372]

That top is so gorgeous, you did not come here to play! 😍

[@beverly7710]

Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. I would like to see how you sew hems with the coverstitch machine because you cannot actually see what you are doing.

[@katdina9]

I watched other videos, but this one is great! Has a lot of details that others didn't! Very informative

[@bryankennedy7123]

I can't possibly thank you enough.

[@christinevstork2379]

[@andriedemetriou3113]

This is the info I was looking for. Thanks.

[@charlottecraig2502]

Excellent presentation!

[@KatherineM-hx4sb]

Can you use a starch spray as you sew. So maybe less stretching as you sew.

[@Wrightn221]

Walking foot works great for knit fabric

[@ummayparveensahaduth9513]

Hello Ma'am. Thank you very much for this very instructive video. I need help with something. That's the first time I am working with cotton jersey and I am having trouble finding which is the right side. Can you kindly advise? Best regards from Mauritius.

[@floral7448]

Would you recommend the ball or stretch needle for sewing 4-way stretch fabric, stretch lace or mesh?

[@HalfScore]

Great tutorial and sleeves :D

[@ari3lz3pp]

I know thread isn't most of the garment but I avoid polyester since it's toxic. Spandex is a bit less toxic is my understanding. I hope other thread exists but I like appreciate this video. 🙏

[@elizabethkisanniespottypeo6712]

Can a twin needle be used on any machine, even older vintage ones?

[@TashasImaginarium]

Hello! 👋 🙂 Help please! 😅 I have a stretchy knit fabric I got for several projects that my machine REFUSES to sew. This goes beyond skipped stitches, there is no stitching happening at all! As a dancer I've been sewing stretch fabrics my whole life but this one has me completely STUMPED! I've tried different needles, thread tensions, stabilizers.... Nothing has worked so far, and it's just not feasible to sew all these projects completely by hand only. Any tips, tricks, hacks, advice to get my machine to sew this fabric would be greatly appreciated!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Please and thank you! ❤️

[@111.laurynn]

Can you do a video on how to sew strech fabric made from remenats of undetermined fiber because I bout 2 yards (pre-cut) from Walmart and it stretches both ways

I'm in the middle of make a (possibly ill-conceived) jacket-type top with stretch fabric. The possible ill-conceived part being that it has a lining fabric that isn't stretchy. Not sure that it's going to work out but I want to give it the best chance possible. Thanks for the video!

I'm trying to sew stretchy Barbie clothes. I can j u s t make the basic seams sit ok but turning over hems are too thick and then the pressure foot won't move. So frustrating. Thanks for the other tips. Sandra

[@liezelvs]

I have a b38 bernette none of these tips worked when sewing hems and too band for elastic on a trilobal fabric - help?!

[@coasterkat4432]

I use a non-electronic/old school machine so I’m not sure how to gauge the stitch size as it’s just a symbol on my machine.

[@jaswindermatharu8538]

Can you please tell what does it call the plastic strip use when overlocking the stretch fabric seam to hold in lavel %

[@WonderFilThreads]

Can you please point out the time?🤔 Trying to figure out which plastic strip you are asking about.

[@My2Cents1]

My problem is the thin 4-way stretch fabric I’m using, because it constantly wants to slip away from the presser foot. It keeps sliding out and getting straight lines is almost impossible. I’m obviously not very experienced with sewing.
