I am fairly new to your amazing channel! I do so enjoy your way of showing & explaining how to use them. I am 84 yrs old & still love to try new ideas. You & your patterns have a special way of giving us great new ideas. I have some of the patterns & your soft & stable. I am going to start with the mini boxes, as I got the received it a couple of days ago, & I need a place for my wonder clips & etc. Thank you & your people for all the time & energy you put into helping us find new things to try . I will be trying the mesh. I had never heard of the folded elastic, but it will be on my list too. Dee. Lodi ca
I have always wanted to get ideas for projects . Thank you so much from a lot of children in need , and specifically for kids in need based twelve miles from me. Thanks again
I can't wait each week until these videos are posted to You Tube as I am not a facebook user. Today my learning gem was how to use fold over elastic. I had just received my By Annie order which contained fold over elastic so this video was great. I have used mesh in the past but learned an excellent way to install zippers. So many things I want to make using By Annie patterns.
Thank you for describing how to use the mesh, it’s color fastness and directional stretch / grain, and how to sew in a zipper two ways. Also loved learning about the French seam for professional finish and durability. Thank you also for promoting our local quilt shops who have served us so well, especially during our Covid closures. They have continued to supply the products and service we need to keep us busy using our sewing skills to serve our families and communities.
I am so happy that i found your tutorials. Especially enjoyed this particular tutorial about putting mesh to good use in different projects. Very informative.
Really enjoyed these in detailed videos. Today I learned how to use fold over elastic and the correct way to sew a zipper to mesh without fabric. Thank you
Like that you have a sampler of all the mesh. Thank you for information on sewing to a zipper. May favorite part of the show is the product that are shown, Seeing the actual size of the product in hand!
I learned a lot. But I was truly thankful to learn about fold over elastic. I purchased some by mistake and did not want to ship it back. Been trying to come up with ways to use it. Thank you for letting me know I can bind with it. WooHoo!
I’m enjoying all your products and info. I learned that you could sew on the mesh and that it stretches more in one direction. Thanks again for you videos!
I did not know that you could press the mesh to get the wrinkles out. Great program. I learned so much and was so inspired to get started on Christmas gifts. Thanks Annie!!
Thank you Annie. I had no idea the elastic would Shrink up. It does stand to reason though. I haven’t seen your meshing around pattern either. Now I need one. Thanks again.
Way to go, Annie! Great presentation on mesh & fold-over elastic. Loved the examples you put together & explanations for their uses. I'll be ordering the mesh samplers & will be accessing the tutorials on your site.
I learned how to attach a zipper to mesh, and how to use fold over elastic. I will use these techniques when I make my running with stitches bag. I just recently discovered byAnnie when I bought this pattern and other items to support my local retail store (Sewing Center of Wesley Chapels) which is unfortunately closing their shop due to the COVID19 pandemic. It hit them really hard, and I'm extremely sadden that they are closing.
Thank you for this video, I learned more about the fold over elastic, to let it relax before cutting or to iron it on medium heat. Valuable information. I am really going to miss you at sew expo. I am really loving having the video’s you are doing.
Thank you, Annie. Your work is so amazing. These sessions help better visualize how the patterns actually look, inside and out, and learning how to use the notions and supporting products is great. I signed up on your site and am starting my way through a "wish list" of your products.
I am new to making bags and to sewing with mesh. Wow this all was so informative and helpful! I added have a wealth of info to my world, now feel more prepared to begin a project and am so excited to do so!
I’m so glad you go into a lot of detail about using your mesh. I’m fairly new to sewing and have plans to start making some of your easier patterns to start with. I cross stitch so I’m excited to make some bags for my thread, fabrics and hoops. I really like all the many colors available of mesh so you’re pretty much assured to be able to match any fabric. Thank you so much for your helpful videos! ❤️
Dear Annie, I've started to prepare making BMO, can't thank you enough for all the wonderful tips on today's session as well as the previous 1,2,3 classes. I have no doubt that my project is going to turn out very well. 💐🍬🥤🤩👍
I love the colours you have in your mesh collection, l have learned so much this week, about the way mesh is used, to let the elastic shrink back before sewing with it, how to do french seams on mesh, plus there are so many ways to use it, which is great and I'm glad that l watched this before making my first bag, as its given me the confident to get stitching, thanks Annie, the next decision is which bag to l make first, as l have so many of them I my collection...
I learned different ways to use fold over elastic other than with PUL & about French seams for mesh. Was going to ask if mesh had a right/ wrong side but you answered that for me Annie. Thank you.
I love the idea of taking the meshing around to music festivals. I definitely want to make a couple of these for my daughter and her fiancé. I look forward to the day when we have music festivals again! Would love to win the kit.
Wish I watched this first before I sewed the foldover elastic onto my mesh. Like Elaine in Seinfeld, I didn't know about "shrinkage"! lol YET!!! All is not lost (or thrown out like I thought I may have to do) as Annie also reminded me that my mesh was cut a little wider than than piece I'm sewing it onto.
Hi Annie, do you have a video about how to make a gusset with mesh? I need to alter a zippered bag so it opens all the way, like a tray, versus just opening far enough to squeeze things in. And I want to make gusset for the sides, so things don’t fall out. (There was a gusset, but it doesn’t open nearly far enough, and it’s not stretchy.) Thx. 🌷
We don't have a free tutorial for that specific feature, but we have several patterns that have gussets: Clam Up, Drop Zone, Hot & Heavy, and Out to Lunch 2.0. If you have any of these patterns, the steps for adding the gussets could be applied to other projects. I hope this helps!
@@PatternsByAnnieThank you for your reply. I will look into those patterns. If I buy the pattern, is there then a video that goes along with the pattern?
I learned how to sew the mesh to a zipper correctly, the last time I did it everything was a little wonky. I will try Annie suggested method, I'm sure it will come out much better.
Dear Annie, I love your products and your tutorials. However, I'm not able to find the pdf in the mesh section of your website that you mention in this video (All about how to use mesh).
I like how real-life these video’s are; “this seam isn’t straight but use matching thread it becomes invisible”. There is a perceived need for perfection when looking through Instagram ,TH-cam’s etc.
My wallet is wearing out and I am trying to duplicate it. It has 2 I.D. pockets on the outside and the mesh and fold over elastic will be perfect and lessen the bulk when turning it inside out ! !
I love your patterns & the way you teach. I purchased the Ultimate Travel Bag class on Craftsy several years ago, fabric & hardware kit from ANNIE.COM. I haven’t made it yet, but plan to soon. Now you have an updated pattern and I’m wondering if I have to buy the updated pattern or if there is a way to get a print out of just the changes?
OMG! So informative ! I never used follower elastic...and now I don't know why. Thank you for this intensive course! Do you have a pattern to store knitting needles by size?
Timestamps would be VERY handy with such long videos. I want to review how to apply foldover elastic, and I'm wishing you separated binding and zippers from this. It's at 20:35, the title of this video is not really accurate.

All is not lost (or thrown out like I thought I may have to do) as Annie also reminded me that my mesh was cut a little wider than than piece I'm sewing it onto.
I have purchased your soft and stable several times. I also have a couple of different colors of your mesh, but have not made anything from it so far.
Great information and love how to put a zipper on the mesh thank you
Great video! Very informative. I would like to make a bag for use for stadiums.
I learned gold over elastic can be used on mesh and that mesh stretches. Loved learning about folded elastic!!
Thank you for all of the wonderful information about working with Mesh. I love to shop at Tiny Stitches Quilt Shop too!!
Thanks so much - needed this last night en ing the pockets for Backseat Babysitter.
Love your mesh! I didn’t know they came in so many colors.
Thanks for this informative video. I learned that mesh has stretch but only one way. Who knew?!! 🤗
I learned the mesh could be ironed! Great tip along with all the others.
Hi from Debbie from Illinois
Can the mesh be pressed? If so, can you use a narrow piece of seaming tape to help stabilize the mesh?
Hi Annie, do you have a video about how to make a gusset with mesh? I need to alter a zippered bag so it opens all the way, like a tray, versus just opening far enough to squeeze things in. And I want to make gusset for the sides, so things don’t fall out. (There was a gusset, but it doesn’t open nearly far enough, and it’s not stretchy.) Thx. 🌷

@@PatternsByAnnieThank you for your reply. I will look into those patterns. If I buy the pattern, is there then a video that goes along with the pattern?
I learned that the elastic shrinks
I learned how to sew the mesh to a zipper correctly, the last time I did it everything was a little wonky. I will try Annie suggested method, I'm sure it will come out much better.
Learned SO much! Want to make laundry bags🤗
Love the fold over, now I know how to use
I have used meshed on my last few projects and just received my fold over elastic
Correction: the Word meshed. Should be mesh.
Best pattern and easy to follow thank you
What is the bag on the middle shelf over your left shoulder? The purplish grungy like fabric with flap closure?
Love using the mesh, now need fold over elastic
I learned how to use FOE and a new zipper trick for mesh! Thank you!.
Do you need a special needle to sew the elastic?
Hi Patti- no special needle is required for sewing our fold-over elastic. We recommend 90/14 topstitch needles for all parts of our projects.
Dear Annie, I love your products and your tutorials. However, I'm not able to find the pdf in the mesh section of your website that you mention in this video (All about how to use mesh).
What is a french seam?
I like how real-life these video’s are; “this seam isn’t straight but use matching thread it becomes invisible”. There is a perceived need for perfection when looking through Instagram ,TH-cam’s etc.
what is the very large bag behind you?
Hi Nancy- that pattern is Ruler Wrap. You can find it here: www.byannie.com/patterns/ruler-wrap
I learned that fold over elastic relaxes!
carol carone love these video i learn so much and buy a lot lol
I learned that mesh has a grain and that it stretches one way more then the other.
My wallet is wearing out and I am trying to duplicate it. It has 2 I.D. pockets on the outside and the mesh and fold over elastic will be perfect and lessen the bulk when turning it inside out ! !
I did not know that mesh did not free thanks for sharing
I have checked for this PDF and there is only a 2 page outline........ Is there another place to access it?
Really good tutorial.
How can I please get your patterns and im from Florida
Hi from Canada Ontario 👋
I learned you have lots of colors of mesh!
I learned the multiple ways to use fold over elastic.
