For clarification about prestretching FOE. While it’s advisable to prestretch to prevent seam breakage, doing so makes the cuffs and waist tighter around body, seams get puckers, and garment billows out. By sewing in slack in this manner the circumference of cuffs and waist have little puckering and retain enough stretch for normal wear.
Would you consider showing how you sew the binding without the attachment? I have your Alpha Raglan Hoodie pattern and there’s not info on how to sew the binding. That would be really helpful!
Hi, I'm only 5' tall and all my fleece tops are too long in the sleeves ... can you share a video of adding fold over elastic to a sewn cuff without using your binder attachment?
Hi. I found this video very informative and interesting. Can you share a full video please how you will sew 2 binding ends together and then will do a finishing top stitch please. Will appreciate..
I’m lazy and simply overlap the ends. When I’ve sewn binding around the cuff, I cut the binding to about 25mm of overlap. I fold the raw edge under itself so there’s no unraveling. Then simply stitch the 12mm final overlap. I like this overlap to be even with the sleeve seam.
Could you link to where you purchased the stretch binding? Thanks! Also, where are you purchasing stretch double fold bias binding (mentioned in the hoodie instructions)?

Sure good idea
@@LearnMYOG If you could show how you did the 45 degree join as well. Maybe you just stretched the unsewn elastic and did a simple stitch?

Now a days I just use fold over elastic or make my own with a color matching stretchy knit.
merci beaucoup !!
Most welcome!
What fleece fabric are you using? Can you provide the link?
The grid fleece is Polartec 7472 grid fleece Polartec fabric can be sourced at Discovery Fabrics, MillYardage or EBay. I don’t sell fabric.
Is that a double or a single fold binder?
Single folder as I’m using a fold over stretch binding
Can you link to your binder attachment? Looks like a good one
It’s a cheap set from cutex sewing supplies.
