How to start and finish sewing with Wendy Ward

[@LetsCreateAGift]

Finally, a video for people like me who have never touched a sewing machine before. Wish me luck!!

[@nerualx8045]

Good luck, how did you do?

[@HappyMomma412]

Yes. Blessings! 👍🏾💜

[@user-ib7wy4oq9e]

How’d you go?

[@Hithere-ov4ih]

True! Felt the same!! Thanks so much for this video!!

[@RinegnProductions]

It's been a little over a year now since u made this comment .. we are curious on how u did and did u keep up the sewing hobby

[@michalinabaros5824]

I've always got those tangles after sewing and I couldn't figure out why. Eventually, after a few times trying to solve the problem I gave up sewing. Now, after watching this everything is so clear!! I feel like crying, thank you so so much!! No one told me this, they all assume basic things are obvious - for beginners, they are NOT! So I really appreciate this video ♥️

[@catastrophe00]

Nothing here about how to secure the thread at the beginning and end of the line. I’m getting loose ends at the end of the line that cause the entire sew line to begin to unravel.

[@lordsasquatche8608]

have you figured out how to secure the thread? I'm having so much trouble with that :(( I can't find any videos on how to secure it and it just unravels each time

[@mommg.2184]

Lord Sasquatche ~ begin stitching forward, then back up over your stitching, then again forward sewing and this will secure your thread. Do the same back and forth stitching when you get to the end. Hope this helps :-)

[@dawnnc27]

Momm G. Thank you! New here also and was wondering why she’d leave out such and important step?

[@lordsasquatche8608]

@@mommg.2184 AaAAh THANK YOU SO MUCH :)))

[@Yourlocalpeasant]

I came here to find that exact answer. They seem to leave that part out on every video I’ve found

[@LorenTheFlorist]

This is what I needed WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE YOU LOVELY INTELLIGENT WOMAN finally a video thats simple and also easy to understand

[@xirensixseo]

what do you do with the thread after you cut it?

[@gfy_618]

Literally

[@jungone3074]

This was absolutely amazing and so useful. Thank you so much !! Understood everything with just one watch!

[@ayu8822]

Hi, I just got my first sewing machine and I had a few questions about your video. At the very end, when you cut the threads, do you tie the threads together so they do not come undone? I worry by leaving the threads untied that they will eventually unravel. I also did not see you do a backstitch to reinforce the seams, so I guess that doing the backstitch is not necessary? Thank you!!

[@WendyWard]

On most seams it's best to do a backstitch at the start and end. Add this to my method for starting and ending sewing in the video and you'll have a secure seam! Hope that helps.

[@jdrawsshit4837]

At the start fo you just put the thread back or tie them together?

[@dianes5762]

Just remember if you're using a walking foot they don't do back stitching. I just use the auto cut for the thread and go back over it for 3 stitches. This way I can do reinforcement stitched while still using, imo, the best designer friendly foot.

[@eaglesmight8321]

I'm an insulator sewing at work and I forgot how to remove the string from the material after I'm done sewing, it was a good thing I found your video. Thank you.

[@y0uthclub]

I am so happy to have found your channel! Sewing has always seemed quite overwhelming to learn, but this video is perfect for beginners like me to go on and get started with a bit more confidence!

[@lifeiscrazy1314]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! I was having trouble understanding how to end a seam/ stitch. You showed an easy tutorial on how to do it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!😜😆

[@heartquaked]

Do I have to re-thread it after every cut?

[@Winston-d747]

Thank you so much this really helped

[@julieb982]

Great tutorial. Thank you so much from a total novice 👋👋👋

[@faerynsavage2275]

What about the little doodliy daddily you're supposed to do in reverse to... Tie up the ends or something? I thought you were supposed to do it at the beginning and the end...

[@trousleperson632]

What do u do with the long threads? Do u just leave it?

[@chelseyr3430]

Cut the threads with 3-4 inches extra so it does not get pulled back into the machine. I usually pull them towards the back when I start sewing again so they aren’t in the way.

[@humaassad4019]

hi i hv a question i just bought my automatic sewing machine i noticed u didn't use on/off button to stop. is there any other way?

[@Justinsatiable]

But what do you do with the thread left dangling?

[@knowledgefirst6224]

When I try to stitch the cloth the thread comes out automatically from the needle.Can you plz tell me why this happens.I tried many times but I get the same result.

[@dracleirbag5838]

But then what do you do with the end of the threads?

[@isaiahunderwood8993]

Great lesson I'm a true beginner

[@PureeTauruss]

So what's the purpose of using a backstitch? I thought that how you make sure your stitches don't just come out

[@syedahanif4188]

Can you please tell us that which sewing machine model are you using in this video?

[@rodneymarois9445]

do u need to make knots or does it do for you ?

[@owensechrist1315]

Just can't get this to work. My fabric doesn't seem to feed, just sits in one place until the machine binds up.

[@michaelaedgin9458]

Is your sewing foot down? You need to lower it so it’s almost touching the fabric

[@swinnburn]

Me too!??😕

[@Mike-me3sp]

@@michaelaedgin9458 It has to be actually pressing down on the fabric so it presses the fabric down onto the pulling teeth (or whatever they're called), right?

[@michaelaedgin9458]

@@Mike-me3sp yeah like my main prob when I started was just forgetting to lowering the foot to the fabric so it held the fabric down and fed through

[@chaol9555]

So helpful! Thank you

[@JordansMom769]

I'm just learning to use a sewing machine and every time I try to start out, it goes backwards unless I start out with a couple inches of fabric in the back to pull on 😕

[@musicalartistry5208]

JordansMom769 I'm also new to the sewing machine. I think maybe you have the backwards stitching switch on?

[@musicalartistry5208]

JordansMom769 The switch where you can backwards stitch, but that's just what I think may be the problem.

[@JordansMom769]

That's what it was, I finally figured it out. ☺️

[@TheRockk35]

Thx!!

[@_yussra]

this is amazing and the video is short👌

[@bunkocska]

Really useful! Thank you :)))

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

It would be lovely if we could actually hear what you are saying over the music.

[@orangesareyellow7977]

I'm 14 and gonna learn to sew

[@michaelshawn5392]

A video about beginning and finishing that doesn’t mention a locking stitch 😅 RIP to the projects of anyone that took off on the machine after this video..
