Sewing Hemlines of Woven Stretch Fabric

Sewing Hemlines of Woven Stretch Fabric. The general rule when hemming woven stretch fabric is to use a slipstitch with one little added stitch in the form of a loop. This loop of thread allows for added movement and prevents strain and the breaking of thread.

My pleasure. I'm just happy to learn that fellow fashion sewers are putting my tutorials to good use. Good luck in all of your fashion sewing adventures.

[@bidemiolusola9069]

I am an old time sewer and I am staging a come back. Your blog is a brain refresher! Thank you. Bidemi.

[@colleenglea]

Welcome back and thanks.

[@colleenglea]

My pleasure. I'll certainly cover more areas of fabric soon.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you so much.

[@nevroth]

If I could 'thumbs up' this video 10x9 times I would! This makes so much sense; do you think it would work for seams and darts too? Or would it be best to stick to zigzag?

[@colleenglea]

You're very kind, thank you. For seams it would work, but as for darts, I've never really tried it.

[@motherendurance]

Thank you so much! That was EXACTLY what I needed!

[@colleenglea]

No problem Renata Bursten! Glad I could help.

[@sarasallam78]

Amazing as usual

[@colleenglea]

No. The loop aids in the movement of the stitch.

[@IkaikaDBonesLark]

Thank you very much.

[@eteahwilson]

Thank you so much for your videos. Will you do any videos cutting jersey or other stretchy fabrics.

[@danetteporter5801]

Thank you for the video!

[@colleenglea]

No problem!

[@greatpty765]

I've never heard of this technique before. You sew 1 back-stitch both before/after the loop? Won't the loop come out when the hem stretches?

[@demonbunnny]

Thank you :) I was looking for a way to hem t-shirt material patches. I'm going to give this a try.

[@colleenglea]

Good luck and thank you for commenting Wild Bunny.

[@janetcunningham5207]

Awesome!!

[@colleenglea]

Thank you Janet.

[@colleenglea]

Baste into position and make sure the tension is correct so there's no distortion.

[@gpurpleo]

That was supper help full

[@colleenglea]

Thank you.

[@IkaikaDBonesLark]

Hello how do you hem a garment that has accordion pleats?

[@colleenglea]

If you can get a stretch lining, then yes, that would be ideal.

[@chocolategirl1974]

How can attach ribbon or lace to a garment without messing up the shape?

[@debbieferguson4360]

hi thanks for all your videos they are very helpful.. i was just wondering if you or anyone else knows how to do a (straight stretch stitch)? i have looked everywhere but cant find any tutorials for it.. can anyone help ? thankyou

[@colleenglea]

debbie ferguson I'll bear what you ask in mine and perhaps do a tutorials to demonstrate. Thanks.

[@IkaikaDBonesLark]

What if the fabric is already pre pleated they sell the fabric lock that in our garment district, I burn the edges I wanted to know was there an Easyer way

[@colleenglea]

If the fabric has already been set, then your only real option is to do as suggested, and burn to stop any fraying.

[@colleenglea]

You'd hem before adding the accordion pleats.
