Higher tighter, lower looser ... brilliant ... now So easy for my little brain🤣😍😍🤣🤣

[@SewingandtheCity]

Excellent!💜💜💜

[@vidaholmes]

Thank you so much for the lower higher tension. And for the Wooly threads. I bought a bag full of malty color Wooly from a resale shop some years ago. Now I can use them thanks to you my friend.😊😊

[@SewingandtheCity]

You're welcome! 😊 Happy sewing with the Wooly threads, and enjoy creating with the new tension tips! 💜

[@rdcrews]

Thank you very much. You helped me out tremendously with the trimming on my pocket squares. The information you gave on raising the numbers on my serger helped correct a problem I'd been having.

[@SewingandtheCity]

You're welcome! 😊 Glad to hear the tips helped with your pocket squares and serger. Happy sewing! 💜

Love the shorts! Love the top! I have uncomfortable sleeves on some t-shirts that I want to put some new sleeves on. You have given me inspiration. Thank you. I enjoy your videos.

Thank you Lynn!

I use woolly nylon thread for swimwear and other stretch fabrics. It is so much stretcher than standard thread and makes, as you say, a soft edge to overlocking.

[@nataliastoev3784]

Is this recommended for rolling hem? Mine looks a little there are tiny spaces showing fabric

[@SewingandtheCity]

Yes! It would definitely help fill in those spaces 🙂

I’m a fan of wooly nylon! However, not having used it for some time, I’d forgotten about the melting characteristic of it. Couldn’t understand why my iron was getting so dirty. It was melted wooly nylon! I recently saw someone recommend using it in the bobbin of your regular sewing machine. I wasn’t too sure that was a good plan.

[@SewingandtheCity]

Yes! It can cause issues, like the melting problem you experienced. The bobbin on the regular sewing is a good one 😁💜

[@Evelyn22harry]

Can the wooly nylon be used in the bobbin of a regular seeing machine?

[@SewingandtheCity]

You can! On a regular sewing machine, you'd want to use it in the bobbin only, not the top thread :-)

[@lovehappy2503]

Wery good

[@SewingandtheCity]

Thanks for tuning in! 💕

[@sarahsaggers6777]

Because it's so stretchy could it be used for whirring instead of elastic?

[@SewingandtheCity]

Hi Sarah! That's such a great question! I don't think it's quite stretchy enough for shirring unfortunately....I compared it to the elastic thread I have here and the shirring elastic thread is a lot stronger.

[@irinazhilina8830]

No, wooly nylon won’t work for this purpose, unfortunately

[@Joani161]

Thank you. In closeups you need to focus on only the item. The camera won't focus well on your face and the item.

[@sarahsaggers6777]

Sorry... meant shirring
