Wow! What a concept - never would have thought of it on my own. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Please share details about the elastic cord you use - I'm in need of one! TIA.

I've known about this for years but I've never seen someone do it. Super cool!

That is so clever.

That’s a neat little trick.

Wow! I'll have to keep this in mind for sheer fabrics. Thanks for posting!

I physically felt my mind blow when I watched that! That’s awesome. Thank you!

Game changer!!❤️

This is a clever and helpful tip, and much simpler than pinning or sewing in a strip of fabric that needs to be on grain. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Buttons, buttons, who has the buttons knowledge? Tricia does!! Yes, please, more button content because I am starting to make my own buttons. Knowing how to put them on clothes would be timely information!!

Absolutely would love a deep dive. Love your videos Tricia! just an fyi - I live in montreal, quebec and we use the metric system and it's in these cases where a number like 5/8 would be easier to calculate in metric__ 5/8 = 15.88mm(rounded) and divide in 2. so for sewing it is so so much easier in metric. better precision because it's like counting 1, 2, 3! --well that is just my opinion 😉

Thank you... very informative... from South Africa xx

Excellent lesson. I could have used this a week ago😅

Love to see covered buttons and horizontal buttons. I learned this not too long ago about button placement for men and women. Women are always right and men are left overs.

Yes, I would love to go down the button rabbit hole! Thank you!

Great info. I usually make vertical buttonholes.

Be careful about using synthetic pressing cloths. My iron tends to run HOT...and I went to press something synthetic and it just MELTED away under my iron! I had to really heat my iron up to get the residue off it and then sandpaper it till it was clean. Needless to say, I was NOT happy about it!

I don't understand the last bit about the seams. Walk your seams? Can you explain?

I am teaching millennial friends to sew. This will help them keep going at home sometimes. Thanks.

I don’t mind ironing if it’s for something I’m sewing. I haven’t been in very good mood for sewing this past month. I was told by 3 Doctors that I had cancer starting October 28. The day before Thanksgiving I had a procedure an endoscopy and the Doctor came and told me and my husband that there was absolutely no evidence of cancer anywhere. I do need to get my gallbladder removed. So no a little ironing isn’t going to get to me. Best Thanksgiving ever!

I’ve never seen the organza idea before. Thank you!

The timing of this Tricky Thursday is perfect! My 4th tool is a tailor's clapper to set the steam press. 1st is my fancy store- bought model. Next is a home shop find-an 8" long 1.5" x 1.5" table leg. I carry one in my travel kit. (I had four and gave two away.)

Hello from Houston, TX

Hi

sound fixed at 3:00 :)

wow, what a great way to finish!! thank you for sharing Tricia!! 💖

Warning….this is a sales pitch. Nothing to learn here.

Thanks, one of my used machines came with a (very rusty) double needle so I know it can do it, but not knowing how, I used the zigzag for the swimsuits I made this summer. Now I'm more confident to give it a try next time I need to work on a knit, presuming I can get any of my zigzag capable machines to behave (everyone except the antique hand crank machine has decided to have inconsistent tension issues and maybe timing issues, I need to do some tinkering with hte herd after Xmas when I've got time).

Are there different tricot interfacings for wovens than knits? Googling has only made me more confused on this. Good timing as I am just making a toile of a new pattern that calls for a neck facing. Looking forward to trying this!

Awesome way to do a facing and it looks so professional.

This is a great tip. Thank you

YES I would be very interested in learning about the Haslam system, and others.

You're a genius.

What a great tip. Thank you!

This is such a great technique. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you 😆

❤❤❤ this idea

I'm wondering why your voice is loud then quiet then loud...

Hi from Texas!

Thank you! This is an awesome idea for pattern needs to meet! Thank you both!! Super cool

I have tried this on a few shirts. The first couple turned out fairly well except there was a ridge between the two thread lines. I tried playing with tension but it didn't change anything. But then I had the stitches pop in the hem on one shirt. I thought maybe the regular thread just didn't stretch enough so I tried a stretch thread. It worked okay fot most of the shirt then six inches from finishing, it decided to birds nest on the underside and nothing I have tried (new bobbin, tension, rethreading) had worked to keep that from happening over and over. I gave up and hand stitched the rest to sorta look like twin needle on the top till I can figure out how to fix the issue or borrow my friend's coverstitch machine. Any ideas on how to remedy this? Should I just stick to regular thread and not use the stretchy thread? Thanks!

OMG, i am learning soooo much from you, thank you Tricia ❤

Love how you make things so simple, thank you ❤

OMG, i never thought of having a fitting bag 😮, that is so cool

Just watched your TH-cam all about the darts 😂, I didn't realise you could do so much with just the darts. Brilliant 👏 ❤

Very timely as I am just trying my first t-shirt like pattern right now. And cool to see you using the same machine that I use!

I have some twin needles at work and wondered what they were for/ how to use them. Thanks!

I’ve practiced with the twin needles and did pretty decent. I was sewing quite a bit but things happen in life to throw you for a loop. I’ve just been diagnosed with cancer. Emotionally I just haven’t been into really anything. I was going to work on some pants today but had other things happening. I really appreciate your tutorials.

Love love love how you explain everything and share your tips. Love all your videos ❤
