Thank you! ☺️

[@elainespoor1439]

Fabulous tutorial's, I have just found your channel and, oh boy what a find, you are so neat and tidy and so informative in what you are showing us how to do things. I have sewn for years and found out how to do things differently, quicker and more efficiently, thank you for all the trouble you go too in making these videos for us. Thank You

[@OKSew474]

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you for demonstrating the rivet method.

[@OKSew474]

So glad it was helpful!

A big thank you to u. You are the best and perfect trainer. Your videos are fabulous and full of tips . Thank you again

You're so welcome!

[@maryshaver129]

Excellent tutorial! Not too fast, not too slow. All the while, everything is described thoroughly and concisely. Thank you!

[@OKSew474]

Thanks, Mary, glad it helped!

[@cindycarnes6441]

I would have loved to see the rivet setter, etc. in the description so I can find the tools. Great tutorial. Thank you

[@OKSew474]

Thank you for the feedback, I will endeavor to add more product info in the descriptions of my videos. I generally don’t when I am demonstrating a technique more than a product but if it would be helpful I can certainly add it. The table press I use is the DK98 from Kam Snaps but it is no longer available (I got mine almost a decade ago), it was replaced by the DK93. I have an adapter to be able to use different dies on the one press, any of their presses with interchangeable dies would be my recommendation. Kam Snaps is a reliable brand.

[@cindycarnes6441]

@@OKSew474I use jam snaps. Love the brand. Thank you! I’m impressed that you answered. So many don’t bother.

Glad to help, I may not always be timely but I try to reply as much as I am able!

[@michellehale8962]

I like your method and use of rivets. I’m always looking for rivets since I got my Kam Press!

[@baharkanbas]

Great tutorial, thank you ❤

[@forprivacyreasonsimnottell9427]

You could also just use a single daisy stitch (if your machine has that capability) in place of the rivet.

[@OKSew474]

I love that idea!! Thank you for sharing!

[@Shellie-pinklady60]

what is a daisy stitch

[@forprivacyreasonsimnottell9427]

@@Shellie-pinklady60 it looks like a star or an asterisk. It's a special stitch that is programmed into most machines.

[@dawnee9950]

Thank you beautiful work.

[@pristinabread]

Thank you. I made a lanyard with this methode today so the aid doesn't lose Pop's laundry card. I didn't have a clip so I used a split ring typcially used for keys. my length is 36" - any way. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@OKSew474]

That is a great idea! So glad you found it useful!

[@pamelaclayton7535]

I love your ideas! I have been sewing for many years but you still teach me new things. Thank you keep them coming. Do you have a solution on sewing a gusset all the way around a small cross body bag as in the pebble bag. Also we then have to sew the bias over that seam and the bulk is soooo thick that a domestic machine keeps skipping a stitch.. thank you.

[@OKSew474]

I haven’t sewn this particular pattern but many patterns use the same method; I do have plans to draft my own in the future to teach from but for the time being my best tips would be to sew the gusset on lining side down, and to cut the corner (not through any stitches!) to reduce the bulk in the join between the lower gusset and the zipper panel section. I like waterproof canvas for binding as it can be used single fold and is relatively thin compared to other options like double fold bias tape or FOE.

[@dianep649]

Great tutorial. What size rivet did you use?

[@OKSew474]

Thank you Diane! I use 9mm diameter double sided rivets, for multiple layers like this I prefer ones with 10mm posts.

[@dianep649]

@@OKSew474 Thanks so much for your quick response. I look forward to more videos!

[@krisvanallen]

I've never heard the term "construction stitch length". Does that come from garment sewing?

[@OKSew474]

Honestly I think I just started saying it to differentiate from the stitch length used for topstitching and basting, and it seemed like a reasonable way to describe that component of making a bag where you need durability and accuracy. The stitch length used varies so much based on the machine and materials so saying “standard stitch length” didn’t seem like the most accurate description since the default on a machine may not be appropriate for the given project.

[@krisvanallen]

@@OKSew474 I like the term! I baste over the zipper part of a bag to make sure it lines up the way I want before I stitch around the bag. Makes me more confident that it will work out

[@janetrobertshaw6487]

Hi which brand of rivet press do you use? 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@OKSew474]

I use a Kam press, DK98, that has interchangeable dies.

[@OKSew474]

Thanks Susan! I get my rivets from a couple of different places; moremeknow.com/collections/rivets, emmalinebags.com/collections/bag-hardware/products/double-cap-rivets-3-sizes-5-finishes-available-50-packs, and for the ones with the long post I use www.goldstartool.com/rivets-double-sided-round.htm

[@sandeeestes-price2675]

Is it light weight or medium interfacing?

[@OKSew474]

I usually use light weight but medium works too, it really depends on your personal preference. If I am using canvas I would not use medium as it would be too thick. There is so much variation in light & medium interfacing between brands but if you are familiar with sf101 as a point of comparison that is a good light option, but you can go a little heavier than that if you prefer a firmer strap.

[@ufoquilter86]

What size rivet, and length of rivet are you using?

[@OKSew474]

I almost always use a 9mm cap, the post length varies depending on the material thickness but for these I use 8 or 9mm.

[@krisvanallen]

What model Juki do you have?

I have a Juki HZL-DX7
