You are so smart! Very useful techniques and well explained. Thank you for sharing :)

Thanks for the compliment.

[@missarcene]

I am 59 and just learning. I appreciate how patient you are in showing all the details.

[@candancer27]

Thank you so much, you are the only person who has posted videos about how to sew on lace fabric. This is exactly what I needed to learn to finish a lace bridal gown for a client. A thousand thank yous! Look forward to your other video tutorials on working with lace in the future.

[@ayaniayani6092]

Love this technique. So much easier, and your video makes it easy to learn. Thank you.

[@anitamottley6345]

Very well done. You have a gift for teaching! Thanks!

[@colleenglea]

Thank you so much.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you. As for sewing sequin fabrics, work with the design of the fabric. If they fall into a seam, remove them before sewing. Hope that helps a little.

[@crisjamero]

what a very brilliant idea i really admire your ideas in sewing. thanks a lot

[@CM-ok9lf]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful tutorial. Can you please tell us how to work on satin or silk or lace garment with crystals embellishments. Is it done after making the garment or before? What about the lining in that case? Thanks

[@LoniLovesLife]

ok, you are an amazing teacher. better than alot if teachers on Craftsy. You should be on Craftsy. My conclusion after only 3 minutes.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you for the compliment LoniLovesLife.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you so much, always happy to help.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you. My pleasure.

[@AngieTheENTJ]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's very helpful. Do you have any pointers on sewing sequined fabrics? Thanks!

[@ahtramnosknab]

This series is a lifesaver! Need a little help, though. After I've done the two rows of straight stitching between the motifs, and stitched the motifs down on the right side of the garment, what do I do about the seam allowance in the mesh area? Is that the purpose of the two rows, so as to cut very close to the stitching? I've looked at every lace applique seam technique on the net, and yours is, by far, the most helpful! You're a gifted teacher!

[@colleenglea]

Yes, cut close to the stitching. It's a delicate process make sure you take your time but the results will be worth it. Thank you for taking the time to comment Martha.

[@colleenglea]

My pleasure.

[@colleenglea]

[@colleenglea]

Welcome to the fashion sewing community.

[@colleenglea]

[@colleenglea]

[@colleenglea]

[@colleenglea]

Thank you.

[@Tjobi]

nice tutorial. pls where do you get your applique fabrics? thanks

[@colleenglea]

+tamera.O Thanks! It as been in my fabric stash for years I'm not sure!

[@evie6578]

Thanks for the help but now I'm trying to figure out how to make a back closure for a lace bodice. It is a bolero top to a wedding dress. Thanks

[@colleenglea]

There are many options you could choose and will all depend on the effect you're looking to achieve.

[@supernatural0948]

question do you remove the net in between the label flowers or just on the edges

[@colleenglea]

Once you have placed the flowers in position, remove the required amount of netting, or just on the edges. The objective is to achieve a seam less look when joining. Thank you for commenting supernatural child of God.

[@justjudifer4559]

This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@colleenglea]

Glad I could be of help Just Judifer! Thanks for commenting.

[@hanaah1111]

Brilliant!👍. Don’t forget there’s invisible thread. am worried about how to put lace next to zipper

[@colleenglea]

Re-watch the tutorial a couple more times, and practice on some spare fabric.

[@powersfam5]

Great tutorial!!! Thank you for taking the time to post it! :)

[@ArcticCafe13]

Wonderful, as always!

[@marymoore8660]

do not have money to buy a dress so I am going to make a dress out of lace. I could not remember if to cut with the embossed print on the outside or the embossed inside out? Please help

[@colleenglea]

I prefer to cut with the embossed on the outside, so that I can get a more accurate look at the behaviour of the pattern design.Thank you for commenting Mary Moore.

[@marymoore8660]

thank you for your response you really helped me thank you Mary

[@colleenglea]

Спасибо!

[@jennevab1360]

Thank you so much for this video! 😁 this is a beautiful technique. I do have a question. Would you do a seam finish on the inside for the straight part you sewed? Or is it not necessary due to the net fabric

[@colleenglea]

Yes you can do a seam finish, for example a closed seam. Thanks for commenting and your question Jenn B.

[@Deisy6212]

Your video is very nice and clear I share this on my fashion face book. I work as 19 years with elastic lace. in LaLopez lingerie. THANKS

[@westonhoward3693]

How do you handle seams in lace fabric where the motifs are further apart?

[@colleenglea]

If the motifs are further apart, you are probably better off using a french seam. The trick with working with lace is to have a continuous flow of the design in the fabric, so that you cannot see the seaming easily. But where there is large spaces between the motifs the best option is to sew beautiful french seams. Thank you for taking the time to comment Weston.

[@colleenglea]

I'll be doing more lace tutorials in the new year, but as of yet, there are no plans to show the making of this particular top.

[@Picotee810]

Красиво!

[@marky8418]

But isn't the point of Lace Appliqué to eliminate a visible seam? I'm confused by this method :/

[@colleenglea]

There are many methods and my example is but 1.

[@embroideryartistbenzatelie3106]

Accepted. . But not good enough. . There's got another clean finishing for haute couture standard. Seam should be invisible. .
