[@carsonjackson6951]

As a former teacher, I was so impressed with your video. You gave a wonderful presentation. It was very concise.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@lynylyn316]

I thought I was gonna peek in for a few minutes, but your teaching style drew me in. I learned so much! Thank you

[@matrixmom3300]

What I love about your videos, is you explain why you do this or that. In my sewing journey, since there are so many ways to do things, its great to know different reasons!

[@tammyadair2301]

Perfect timing! I am hemming a sequined Mother of the groom dress today! Thank you!

[@nancyhurt7145]

Always love prom time when the dresses roll in! Good job!

[@darlenefernandes442]

THANK YOU!…your voice is so calming…I don’t sew but I have a sewing machine & need to hem a pants.

[@LisaSeaba]

Love your video! So organized, precise and fun! I am doing alterations on metallic fabric dress.

[@iwalk100]

Thank you sew much 🥰. All my questions were answered. I’m hemming a sequenced graduation dress.

[@michellemccarthy954]

Thanks for the good lesson. Would you comment on how you hemmed the lining?

[@alisonodonnell7832]

Following ❤

[@starz4marie]

That’s my question too

[@louisecolligan8729]

I love what you do and how you explain the process. There is always something to learn and explaining needles for the machine and also for hand sewing is pertinent. Thanks for good visuals and close- ups.

[@greycat7773]

Amazing tutorial! Top Notch. Many Thanks..so helpful for me to hem my daughter's sequin prom dress.

[@victoriaogletree4669]

Very good presentations. Thank you.

[@sunrrisequeen84]

Great job on the sequin dress. I have to create a split on one currently and I will use some of these methods!☺

[@tammypfeiffer1062]

Thank you. Hemming a wedding dress at the moment, cut and pinned ready to machine stitch. yes I broken 2 needles on sample cut off piece . Changing needle 110/18, see how I go, thanks again

[@nirupachadha6345]

Very good tutorial, I like the point that you reminded about the protective glasses. As most of the time we overlook this most important factor which can really be very dangerous and have permanent damage with our eyesight. I will surely remember at all times NOW to use the safety glasses, especially with Chinese needles which break ever so frequently. Wishing you all the very best. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@InMyHopinion]

Thank you so much!! This was the first video of yours that I’ve seen and instantly subscribed. You are amazing!

[@darihernandezstudio]

I just found your channel and I LOVE your content! I am learning so much. Actually, when I first started sewing I would alter my clothes, and later I got into sewing from patterns, but lately I have been getting into altering my clothes again. I have lost 20 pounds so I have to alter some things. Your channel so far has taught me about altering jeans, which is something I think I have to do at this point, and then of course got lost in other videos. This one about sequins is so fascinating. New sub!

[@JocelyneRichard-h6z]

Wow, I was asked to do that not so long ago and I didn't know how to go about it. Thank you very much for the tip ! ❤

[@MLB2MLR]

Fabulous! Thank you so much for this well informed and instructive video. You rock!

[@thelmalane9351]

Love your teaching method.❤️❤️

[@Aljobritt]

thank you for the video, you make it look possible!

[@idesignz426]

Bless UPS! Very N'Joyable! & I learned about using bigger Needles! Thank You!;)PEACE

[@jjames6155]

I learned A LOT! Thank you

[@AbigailPamei]

Thank you for this incredibly clear step by step. Please can you do a video on how to hem a heavily beaded dress 🙏

[@sewshowwithshae]

I’ve had this requested a bunch and was hoping I would get one over Christmas but they haven’t been very popular recently, I will keep it on the list I promise!

[@winchellhouse1]

So so glad I found this video. This will be my first gown alteration and I never thought to check the flow for a baby train! Excellent, instantly subscribed... tad envious of your studio- wowsers.

[@twinkletoes56]

You are GOOD! Great clear instructions along with what could happen as you proceed. No extra talking talking talking! Love it. What kind of machine do you use, I wonder????

[@leighkirbyson]

What needle should I use on stretchy sequin material please? Loved this video thank you so much xx

[@terryjanisch905]

Great job as usual

[@user-sv8kr7ox1o]

Great instruction. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@paulasiefert2059]

Also, how,do you approach the lining to keep,it exactly in line with the revised bottom hem of the sequenced portion?

[@sewshowwithshae]

In regard to almost any lining, I will just remove the same amount that I removed off of the outer, this is making the assumption that the proportions are correct from the outset, and though that may not always be the case, it is the easiest way to go.

[@carlawestveer8449]

You commmented on all situations that you may encounter.

[@mariannediekewicz3552]

Great video. So informative!!

[@staceybasinski6765]

Thanks for the video. This will be my first time working with sequins, my grandaughters prom dress. Can you tell me what presser foot to use. I wrote down everything else you said, plus I will be using your video as I sew this. Wish me luck. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@jaclynoconnor1194]

Your videos are very helpful! Thank you! Can you share what brand of shears you used in this video?

[@sewshowwithshae]

Always either Fiskars or Ginghers

[@cathiedonaldson5966]

Great video, learned a lot. About how much do you charge?

[@jannaandrews3925]

May I ask what heat setting you used on the iron? Hemming daughter's prom gown today. Thanks, great video.

[@shellyhouston2166]

I am thinking of "cropping" a sequin top that is full sequins. I am petrified of sewing a full sequin hem...do you think fuse tape would work?

[@failuretosew]

Great video! So well explained! Do you have a video on how to strategically remove sequins? I have a sequinned dress that literally cuts the inside of my upper arm (I've tried talcum powder and putting various things on my arms as recommended by others, none of which have made any difference other than making a mess) the other recommendation I get is to take it to a seamstress, but there is no one near me willing to take on this task - so any advice would be gratefully received!

[@babiecakes546]

Hi! Question, I’m hemming my daughters formal dress, it’s entirely covered with beads and sequins. Should i follow the Same method? It has a bigger train then this, and the reason we’re hemming is really to gather some sequins /beads to fill in some decent sized spots that are missing from a previous wear. (A bracelet snagged them off) So we’re going then be harvesting unbroken sequins to sew on the gown.

[@sewshowwithshae]

Great question, and no, the beading is very different from sequins so you are not gonna want to use the same procedure here. I have been meaning to do a beaded hem video but we don’t get them in the shop very often so next opportunity I get I will put up a new tutorial on that up! In short; the beads need to be crushed, and then the threads need to be secured. Cutting them can be risky, depending on how they are attached to the garment.

[@JohannesJunkJournalLife]

Love that table. Where can I buy one?!!!

[@sewshowwithshae]

We made it custom; it’s 4ft by 8ft and built it ourselves!

[@rosejacks8662]

Great job!

[@KatlivChin]

Could a serger be used for this?

[@skunnavatana9407]

I want to put simple shapes of flippable sequins fabric on grandchildren’s t-shirt. How would be the best way and what type of needle since it is stretchy fabric?

[@TheGaylePaul]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@georgycolson9671]

What do you charge for that? I am new to alterations. Thanks.

[@irvingfallon5510]

Would a needle with a titanium coating give better service on this work than a standard (non coated) needle?

[@sewshowwithshae]

I’ve never tested it so I can’t be sure, work a try! Just make sure the size is 100 or higher!

[@iheartbridalcouture5989]

With sequined twitchy material I always sew first trim later. If it’s a bridal gown I don’t cut off everything until she tries it on Just being careful because sequined material has jumped on me before

[@sharonrusso6994]

Excellent training video but what about the lining?

[@sewshowwithshae]

Just remove the same amount and finish as usual. I wanted to focus on the sequins with this one, so I figured the lining would be self-explanatory.

[@paulasiefert2059]

What type and brand of chalk do you use? Great video, as are all of your videos!

[@sewshowwithshae]

Most of my favorite tools are listed in the links in the caption.

[@deborahdavey1743]

Loved the video but wasn’t there a lining involved?

[@tmccarten10]

I thought the same

[@bethc4253]

what are the settings on ur machine

[@sewshowwithshae]

No special settings, the key here is using a strong machine and a thick needle, 100 or higher.

[@jimmyeng663]

How come you don't use a pressing cloth for ironing this?

[@sewshowwithshae]

😬 I’ve never been a pressing cloth user, I don’t find it necessary (however I know this is not a popular opinion! But I’ve been doing it this way the last 2 decades and it’s gone pretty well!)

[@yvonneholmes4010]

How hot is your iron?

[@janaortiz4902]

My fear with cutting sequin material is I’m scared it’s like beaded material…aren’t the sequins kind of all sewn with same thread, and if you cut, more will fall off? Thank you in advance for answering. ❤

[@sewshowwithshae]

This is a great question; sometimes they are chain stitch together, but sometimes they are not. And usually you can pick at the edge to find out what kind they are. The trick that I will use when the sequins are chain stitched together is I will unravel the amount that takes me up to the new hemline, and then stop the thread from unraveling by putting a tiny dab of liquid superglue. Then I’ll come back and just cut the fabric as usual! This is a pretty tedious process, but I have found success with it!

[@AnneluvsKatz]

Ummmmmmk… what about the lining??? You said lwe’ll get back to that in a little bit”? How do youake sure it’s hot peeking out anywhere down below?

[@debbieerbes1644]

I want your apron!!!

[@debbieerbes1644]

Seriously.... would you consider selling one?

[@debbieerbes1644]

I'm a great quilter... we could barter!

[@rosiecottone4870]

Can you show what you would do if you cut the dress too short? Also would love to see your tailor shop can you take us for a tour? Thank you

[@rubydawnintl]

💯
