![เปิดใจ พี่ญา คนรุม หลังทัวร์ลง หนักสุดในชีวิต!! l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2-OJZRtclro/mqdefault.jpg)
Seventy years ago I was in the REME, and we darned armoured tank tarpaulins. Four of my mates held the fabric, and I was at the machine, alternately sliding the material back and forward, while lifting the pressure foot. Perhaps not as neatly as the young lady tells us, but certainly keeping the covers in service. Happy days!
The embroidery hoop trick is heaven sent, perfect video!!!
I am a complete non sewer but somehow understood everything the creator said, I applaud you and thank you.
I would pay to hear you voice over a shopping list, you have a very soft and calming voice. Excellent video and explanation. Thank you 😊
This was excellent. I've darned my jeans many times but was asked to do some for a friend and wanted them to look perfect. The advice in this video turned out an excellent result. The cotton thread really makes s difference! Also, sewing only in the direction of the grain makes it almost unnoticeable! It also keeps it flat and does not distort the fabric. It looks way better than what I've done before for myself! Thank you so much!
I found that rounding the corners of the ironed on interfacing stopped them from lifting over time. I raised three sons and they were very active when they were young. I darned a lot of knees on a lot of pairs of jeans and I always used the machine. I learned to darn and mend by hand but I worked outside the home so I would have always had jeans to mend if I did it by hand.
Im a beginner an im scarred my sons tear every single pair of pants i get them cost me thousands every year getting new ones
Well done! Love how your tutorial was straight forward and right to the point from the very get-go.
Very helpful tutorial! Thank you. I never thought to use a frame around the hole but I love the idea.
This was perfect timing! My boyfriend came home with a giant straight rip luckily in his jeans. I'm going to give it a shot now! Thanks!
How did it go
What an informative, crystal clear video 🏆 thanks, Threads 🧵
Great instructions, thank you. I have a quilt that needs repair and I was wondering how to fix it. I can use many of these tips!
Really neat method of mending, thank you.
Thank you, very much, for this informative, we’ll produced tutorial! Now that I have a sewing machine, I am looking forward to applying your technique.😊
What is a stabilizer along with a lightwieght fusable interfacing. As a sixty year old ex builder who's just bought his first sewing machine this is not going to be as easy as I thought.
I didn’t hear you mention that the actual darning happens on the right side of the fabric, but it’s evident from the pictures. (Unless I missed it) Otherwise the details are great.
Good video about darning. But, how do you darn something (on a sewing machine) like the knee on a pair of jean's when it would be so hard to get inside them to do so ? TY for posting this video.
You cut the stitches holding the seams on the side of the leg with least stitches, then sew the seams again after the repair 😅.
Really helpful and neat. Thank you MUCH. Cape Town
thank u. I need to fix a small hole in a new t shirt that I just did shibori stitch resist and while pulling the stitches out i made a small hole. This will work very well. I will practice on an old t shirt first.
Nicely done! Thanks!
Great topic, thanks 👍
Nice tutorial, thanks! 🙂
perfect video. thank you
Great video!
Did you take out the leg seam?
Good mending on a piece of flat fabric. But - to do this on an actual pair of jeans??? How do you get the tear under the machine needle? For instance - if the tear is at knee level?
She talked about that. Unpick a side seam in the leg. Then sew if back up when the knee is repaired. Easy peasy
Thank you
Thak you fot sharinh this, I even darn socks yet.🤗
Do you use a darning egg . Darning yarn is hard to find in the US.
can I see it done on an actual pair of jeans-difficulty doing it within the leg because it is such a small area
th-cam.com/video/wtb5gqT7f44/w-d-xo.html
Watch this
I believe you would take out the leg seam in that situation, and then put it back when you're done?
Hi. Hello. Howdy. Thank you for sharing. Interesting. I subscribe to the Threads magazine.
Great info !
Well done.
@Threads Sewing Why rotate it 180 to reverse the stitch direction instead of just pressing the button most machines have that make it stitch in reverse direction? What's the difference?
You can certainly do that. Some people find it easier to rotate the fabric so that you can see where you are stitching.
I do not understand how you arrived at the last photo using the methods you showed. There were hardly any stitches visible on the right side of the fabric on the last picture.
We just used a matching thread that didn't really show on the right side.
@@Threads It would have been good to see beginning to end on that one.
Best tip easy. Thank you :)
I sewed the front to the back by accident, and couldn't get my leg through. Worse still, I only had red thread on blue jeans. Only stabbed my finger a few times though with the dam needle, looks like a bloodbath.
Sounds like something I would do. The first time I repaired a seam on my jeans I didn't know that you're supposed to turn them inside out first it looks pretty funky but it fixed the tear.
@Steve McIlroy sounds like a sitcom incident, albeit a somewhat clichéd one 🤔🤪😉
I did my first ever darn this weekend at a local repair café. Mine was by hand, no fancy tech, but I was fortunate to be following the lead of a kindly expert who was darning the other pair of jeans I'd bought.
Today I'm wearing the pair the expert mended. The pair I (ahem) "mended" I'm saving for worst/gardening.
Better luck next time 😁👍🏼
Gracias
Nice video thakn
It the video you are seeing using white thread. At the last 5 seconds of the video the darning seems invisible. How is this possible?
How did the thread turn blue? Did she skip a step or am I just to much of a beginner to understand
The thread did not "turn blue." We used white thread in the beginning so that the steps would be clearer to the viewer. The end of the video showed an example with blue thread so that the viewer could see what the repair would look like with matching thread.
@@Threads You might want to show both in the future, to prevent confusion
This was confusing. The end result didn’t show the sewing done in the video. It appears all the darning was done on the right side of the fabric. I was thinking that you would see the border on the right side 🤔.
The final view in the video shows the final result, but with matching thread. You want your darning to be less noticeable with matching thread. During the video, we did it with contrasting thread so that you could see the process. You do darn from the right side of the fabric. You may or may not cover the frame with darning stitches, but all the stitching will show on the right side.
The stitches are invisible in the final shot.
yes, because the thread used was a very good match to the fabric.
Me interesan sus artículos pero no se ingles? No podrian traducir al español. Agradecida.
Can you suggest me some good machine model which is good in darning, interlocking,sewing t shirt materials, and automatically picking up the thread ,and all those basic upgraded needs ...please guide me i wana buy a sewing machine for my home thx plz
Wouldn't that just go though the hole and jam? The physics intrigue me
Helpful video but it would've been even more helpful had you demonstrated the repair of the hole at 00:13...
It's the same technique, it would have just taken longer. In jeans, it is necessary to open a seam to place the fabric flat (mentioned in the video). The finished repair would have been "L" shaped, and you could do it in two sections or by pivoting the work as you sewed.
I mend holes in pants for my husband. I appreciate your video but it doesn't help me because I have to scrunch the pant leg under the pressure foot and around the arm. Do you have a video like that?
She said to open one of the seams near the repair, and to close it after the repair. This prevents the necessity to scrunch the pant leg.
مرحبا مااسم الماكينة المستعملة
Could you please show on the actual denim pants? Many thanks.
I don't believe we have a photo of the actual denim pants. This could have been done on a piece of denim, not on the actual pants.
Woooww sangat keren luar biasa
yes thanks for letting me know I think google translate has a lot of errors. What kind of yarn do you mainly use for darning?
You can use regular sewing thread for darning, or if you would like it to look more decorative, you can use a decorative thread.
Okay but how do you do this when it’s an actual pant leg
Ooh really interested in the free motion stitching but I don't think I can drop my feed dogs, how can I cover them please 🙂
Many sewing machines come with a darning plate - or you can order one for your machine - that covers the feed dogs.
When mending jeans, do you use needle number 11? (Google translation is wrong, so I corrected it.)
Not sure what you are asking when you ask "what kind of room do you actually use?"
Depending on the weight of the jeans, you can use any needle from an 11 for lighter weight denim to a 14 for heavier weight denim.
@@Threads
or 16 and 18
I'm still not sure exactly what you are asking. I would use a 12 or 14 needle when mending jeans.
@@Threads Yes
Why not on jeans?
I darned my 900 dollars jeans as it had holes in it. It was ripped from the start😰
