[@bacon_girl1155]

Not just helpful, you covered pretty well ALL of the basics in one short video! Rock on!!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@raraavis7782]

Ah, I wish we'd had youtube when I started sewing 20 years ago...I avoided jersey fabric for years (till I could afford a serger...) - now everyone just about everywhere can get all the information they need. I still marvel at it sometimes!

[@tracybeck9673]

This is a great video, I haven't been sewing regularly for a really long time, thank you for your concise presentation.

[@ashleyal]

One of the best "sewing tip" videos I've seen! Every point was useful, and there was no wasted time with extra chatter. Thank you for making such an excellent video.

[@_Lightning_Dog_]

I nominate this vid as the most helpful how to handle knits on KZbin. I’ve been browsing all day so I feel quite qualified to make this nomination. 👍🏾

[@bevmcmullen8758]

Loved this no-nonsense, no-waffle, perfectly paced, very informative, well-presented Tutorial. Thank you so much xxx

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@ceciliemunthe9721]

Knits seems slightly less scary after this - super overview!

[@jamespinard7025]

Wow. This is exactly what I needed. I don't sew but need to help my wife who just had surgery, so here I go. Thanks for great info-succinct, insightful, knowledgeable!

[@kimburke3189]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@madelynl.5351]

I have been a quilter for a hundred years and only now started sewing on knits. You are saving my life! Such simple and great hints. Thanks!

[@1111alpha]

I am new to sewing and my machine eats everything lol im so glad i found you coz i was going crazy ... thanks for the tips :D

[@barbaraness4507]

3:53 Yep! Oh my gosh I wish I had this video 43 years ago when I first started sewing!

[@susancampanelli4245]

I just started sewing. I’d love your tutorials simple but not condescending informative but not overloading and very easy to pause and take notes on all of your tips and tricks thank you keep them coming. I think we’re gonna be friends :-)

[@pattygardner231]

I've watched a few tutorials on knit fabrics. Yours was very informative, with information I can really use. Thanks!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@bkmash41]

Completely agree, this is a good tutorial!

[@jantheilen3932]

I've been sewing quilts for 20 years and now I'm trying knits again. Machines and fabrics have changed a lot and I was so frustrated with the lack of info on which stitch to use with knits on my new mid range machine. I spent hours, yes, hours online after my "manual" was mum on the topic. I'm so glad I found you! Best info! Thanks!

[@safepethaven]

Serger = bucket-of-crazy...HAHA so true! and slow as molasses uphill. Love it! You are a seamstress after my own heart. Thank you for these tips. Most I learn "back in the olden days" when learning to sew as a kid from my mom [1961-ish], but with "modern" fibers, notions & time-saving shortcuts, sewing is much less painful/tedious than ever. But it is not cheap.

[@bonnieraekonjevich2776]

Best video re knits. Love the muslin tip, THE STRETCHY TAPE, WOW! Have mainly sewn wovens all my life...

[@_Lightning_Dog_]

I agree this is the best video out there on knits. To the point and full of all the info anyone could need. 👍🏾

[@roseannfuschetto2448]

UNBELIEVABLE !!! Never knew that my sewing machine had these stitches! Always stayed away from stretch materials! Invaluable information!!! Thank you so very much, Sara!!!!!

[@melbapesante4737]

I learned so much with this tutorial. Great tips. I appreciate your instructions!!!!! Thanks .

[@melissahislop5716]

THANK YOU!! I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched trying to learn how to sew Jersey knits better. This is the only one that went over every single specific question I had. And hand basting before machine sewing curves? Genius. I can’t wait to try my project now.

[@WendyDewny]

Wonderful! Clear, precise and lots of useful tips.

[@97grad]

I really enjoy the videos on this channel. Very informative and easy to follow even for someone who have been sowing for years.

[@farvista]

Oh my gosh, I've looked at a number of somewhat inadequate tutorials, but this one is competent and has some breadth of information!

[@Jaimiegoesrawr]

I really appreciate how concise this video is! Thank you!

[@suzettenalzaro42]

you have saved my life today. now I can confidently complete with what I have started and have a professional finished look project.

[@cjtramm8]

You are truly a marvel. You get to the point and have excellent examples. Thank so much!

[@berniemarshall7772]

One of the best stretch videos I have seen!

[@sweetlunamaria]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this informative video.

[@stefestella]

Excellent video! I had been shy about working with knits, though there was so much I wanted to do, and I didn't want to buy a surger. Thanks so much, for this, especially the breakdown of the different types of knits, the importance of planning for the garment stretch, and the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of sitiches. I am now very excited about tackling knits, and will probably use this video as a reference.

[@cocoag8708]

one word for this video........Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!

[@tiffanygreen28]

Thank you! I've been sewing a long time, but every time I've tried to jump into a simple knit project, it's cause to all my stress, haha. I want to make a pair of leggings and will definitely use your video to help with pointers in doing so!

[@kaftan65]

I am a beginner at sewing, though I did some years back. I love all your video's, you have a way of making the subject interesting and you have an appealing voice. Done with complements. This video is great, I have just started with Microfleece and the density is testing my resolve and my Janome J-318. I have settled for Sharp needles as no other would pierce - basting by hand tricky pieces. The Walking Foot and I are still a work in progress. Thank you.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad our videos have been helpful - good luck with your microfleece project !!

[@theresecrouch2924]

Excellent tips, love the stable weights..really , good thinking...use what you have

Best video on knits that I've seen online. Thanks!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

[@ThePcroy]

Oh. my. goodness. This is THE most helpful sewing video I have ever watched! Knits drive me crazy, but so many garments I want to make are best made with it. Thank you, thank you for saving my sanity!!

[@ksp1154]

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!

[@khinekhine613]

Can you pls do the tutorial for putting the clear elastic in the neckline to prevent stretching ? Neckline tutorials for knit garments. Thanks a lot. Can we use twill tape in place of clear elastic ? What are your fave methods?

[@Hellnogizmo]

This is wonderful! I have been mapping out making my first swim suit for weeks now! (Beginner) This was very helpful, and I've been researching!

[@aerwren]

I'm glad I found this video! I've been trying to sew some REALLY stretchy velveteen fabric in my latest project and it's been a disaster. All I can say is I am thankful to have a seam ripper! lol Thanks for the tips.

[@waifong23]

Thank you for a thorough explanation of the different types of stitches, and stabilising methods.

[@isabelserrano4480]

[@Dixitttt]

I would have never guessed the triple stich was streachy. Thank you thank you thank youuuuu. I HATE looking at tutorials cause its usually such a simple thing to explain but the video is like 30 min like why😭. This was down to the point. And now i dont have to cry anymore thank you fr. I LOVE you

[@uppereast74]

[@realityabyss]

You've answered all the issues I was having with my stretch fabric issue. Thank you :)

[@KaPika735]

I just started sewing with a machine and this was so helpful - thank you so much!

[@msannthrope1863]

Omg, I laughed SOOO HARD when you called the serger a “bucket of crazy” with the horns and tail. 😂😂😂 Too funny.

[@sliceofcouture]

Great video, short concise and extremely helpful. Thank you 😊 have a great day 🌹

[@barbaraness4507]

This is the best video for sewing knits! I would rather not see knits at all, but I have a lot of knit fabric that needs to be used.

[@dale3404]

Glad to know that someone else uses starch for knits. I also use it in slippery fabrics such as chiffon. Works wonders.

[@kymberlydawn1445]

This was the Most informative video I have watched thus far....and I have seen a Lot of them. Kudos.

[@sewfun211]

Your tutorial is excellent! It's very comprehensive and chock full of pertinent information and great tips. I've been a sewist for over 4 decades and I still learned a few tricks from you. Thanks so much! Keep up the good work!

This was extremely helpful. Great idea about the muslin fabric on the table. It's a simple solution but I didn't even think to do it. Lol.

[@love2laughwa]

I NEEDED THIS! Thank you! I was going crazy trying to get my fabric smooth enough to lay out my pattern.

[@pludgooey9331]

Thanks. Have watched so many videos and still didn't understand a single thing, while your video is super clear and I really learned what I needed to know!

[@lyndabruce6077]

I have always fought with knits. This will help a lot. I have never seen a better explanation of all the issues and how to work with them. Now to make some cute out fits for my granddaughter and dust off the serger.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Knits are intimidating for many of us. It took me years to fully embrace them, but I will never go back! I hope you enjoy sewing outfits for your granddaughter!

[@anaclements1009]

Just found you and have been binge watching. Your instruction is great but I especially like your style of presentation. Your voice is nice as is your speech pattern. I find so many videos may have good info but are unbearable to watch because of the person in the video. I am not a beginner but you have made relearning a nice experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@Ramona624]

[@Melatina77]

Clear Stretch elastic gets yucky over time. I haven't used it in a long time and I don't know if they have improved it since the 80s and 90s.
