Tip for Gathering Fabric: Instead of the method you used to gather the fabric, try this: Take waxed dental floss and zig-zag over the floss close to the raw edge of your fabric. Leave about 2 inches on each end to hold onto. Then gather the fabric by pushing it along the floss. It never breaks and you can really push on the fabric. I used to sew lots of dance costumes and found this trick to be flawless. Great video!

If you have a gathering foot that would work to create the ruffle for the shirt or use a zig zag stitch over dental floss. Pull the floss to create the gather.

My younger brother just passed away from the virus in April. He was 51 and I kept a lot of his clothes. I was just going to make blankets from his t-shirts and button down shirts and now I can try to turn them into fashionable clothes that I can wear.... We will see I guess, but it gives me some ideas. Thank you ❤️💯

Tips for the shirt. Instead of pulling your seams when you sew, put the longer piece on the bottom and the shorter on top. The excess will resorb almost by itself because of the motion of the feedogs.

@jonasliryhernando80004 жыл бұрын
@V Rostova this is exactly my past experience when I'm not pulling out the pins. It bends and it breaks the needle. It's kinda scary because you'll hear a noise from the machine. It is not healthy for the machine's life because it will ruin/damage the timing and the position of the needle. It might cause the machine not performing well and it might cause damage in the throat plate. When the throat plate is damaged because of scratches, it might cause the needle to break, upper thread to break while stitching, not catching the bobbin thread, skip stitches, etc.
