Thank you. I don’t have a serger and my mechanical machine doesn’t have a zig zag stitch. You expanded my repertoire of seam finishes

I’m so happy to hear that! I’m glad my video helped you ❤️

I've used the turned under method since I was 13 when mom taught me how to sew. I'm 72 now.

That’s sounds like a tried and tired method to finish seams! ❤️

This was a great video. I have used the first and the third method, but not the second! I reached 1K yesterday on my channel!

Congrats Zelda in reaching 1k! That’s such a huge milestone. I’m so happy for you ❤️

Thanks for doing this overview of different methods of seam finishes. I own 2 sergers that I have permanently threated in black and white because I am too lazy to change colors and cheap because I don't want to buy a lot of colors of serger thread. I am considering doing a sewing machine overcast stitch when I want matchy matchy fabric and thread.

You’re welcome! I can’t ever get the machine overcast stitch to look good. It always chews up the edges of my seams and makes them look worse than if I didn’t finish them 😂

Very nice. I used the the first two for a long time, when I started sewing back in the 90s, as sergers for home use weren't as prevalent as today. I tend to prefer finishes that will allow for alterations later on, so finishing each piece of fabric separately is my preference (as opposed to a French seam, for example). And I never really liked the overcast foot. It's infuriatingly slow (lol) and only really looks neat on firm, medium thickness fabrics. So pinking shears it was for the most time. And still is occasionally, as I don't have a dedicated sewing room/table and sometimes just don't want to deal with getting my server out of the cupboard as well!

I just got a new serger which works better than my early 2k version, but you’re right about it being better for medium weight fabrics. Plus serging adds some bulk which isn’t great for all fabrics.

Hi Toni, I like your turned under method. I am a patchwork quilter, I know little about garment construction, so I am learning lots! Could you at some point go through enlarging paper pattern sizes? I have seen it elsewhere but haven't quite grasped it and I know you explain all these processes really well

Thanks Julie! I will see what I can do re: enlarging paper patterns. I haven’t done that before!

So many pattern instructions don’t even say to do anything, or just “finish seams as usual”. You’d think the pattern companies would maybe give a website link to detailed instructions on how to do certain steps. But sometimes you have to learn things the hard way, lol.

That’s why I always forget to finish them🤣 a reminder in the pattern instructions would be great!
