Yes, of course we want more, many more tutorials showing sewing hacks, tips and tricks. Many sewists have been seriously sewing for years, and are only now becoming aware of these easier working methods. Thanks much Aida. Keep them coming. Be safe. 🤗🤗🤗😀🇹🇹💕
What an excellent seamstress and teacher you are! I have sewn for 64 years and learned lots of excellent techniques from your video. Please keep doing these instructional presentations so we can all make the most of clothing and keep those items that we can recycle out of the landfills! Many thanks!
I have been sewing for years but, you've taught me more in this tutorial on seams that I've been struggling to perfect for well over 20 years, Thank you for this tutorial you are truly gifted and have given me the confidence to tackle all the projects I’ve left unfinished 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🦄🦄🦄🥰🥰🥰
WOW Ive been sewing for over 50 years. Geese several these steps I have totally given up on like the tiny straps and shirt tail hem. but the Euro hammered step is totally new to me.
Always great to be reminded about techniques you don't use everyday. Thanks so much. I also run extra chain off my serger when I do a rolled hem. I save that chain for belt loops, button loops etc.
You explain so clearly. I'm a newbie, and I will use your videos as my tutorials now. I particularly like how you don't talk for ages, off topic. I know that these were a collection of short Tik Tok videos, but you put them together so well, without any waffle :) Thank you for sharing your skills!
That loop is great! When I was 10 years old (half a century ago🤣) we made button loops, but we had several strands of the thread and did a blanket stitch across the length of the thread. Your idea is so much faster.
😁😁😁 But I'll tell you something. If I'm going to make button loops I'd do it your way. They're stronger. When I sew hook and eye, I usually make your loops! Cheers 😉
I was taught the same technique with thread and blanket stitch. I like to use embroidery thread as it is thicker. It also is a different look for garment.
Thank you so much for going slow when you show us tips. Too many try to speed sew to show off and teach you nothing! So thanks and I have sewed off and on for 40 years and you taught me something new 😁
French seams are more comfortable than seams done on a serger. I had a kid that could not tolerate anything rough in his clothes so if I made something for him I would use french seams.
I'm one of those kids grown up. I find polyester threads are really rough compared to the fabric around them, and it takes them forever to soften up if they ever do.
Hi, thank you for these awesome tips and demonstrations. Do you have a video (or could you make one please) that shows us how to cut a pattern off an existing garment? Thank you.
Those are all great tips and I am glad to have seen them. I am a beginner sewer and is having trouble with my Singer 2277 Tradition machine. I have not been able to stitch anything yet and is having trouble sewing a sample piece and can't find out how to correct the mistake I am making.
How'd you get to be so clever? 🤓😎❤️ Thank you for sharing bc the truth is, until someone is kind enough to show us the difference, we tend to keep repeating our same mistakes. 💯
the Best trick for those very thick ..8 layer Jeans hems: Use a "Microtex" Needle...has a very sharp point to go through more easily! :D ...go slowly, be sure to Increase the pressure foot Pressure to help flatten the layers together...
Where where where can I find ban roll interfacing? Thank you for all of your tutorials. I have an alterations business in Missouri USA. You have helped me on MANY occasions.
I have really appreciated your videos. I took a beginner clothing class that made a stretchy shirt which I did not like. I do not have a serger and want to make clothes for myself because I am older and cannot find attractive and comfortable clothes. What hems do you suggest if someone does not have a serger that is just as strong so you can make items that will last. thanks
I like the change in your mom's TH-cam channel's name (assuming you are her daughter :)). Actually, love the name. Hope your mom can continue making videos. Her presence and voice is missed in this video.
Chain stitch belt loops are a factory/ shipping thing to keep a belt with a dress. You’re supposed to cut them off before you wear the dress. People are seeing those and wondering why those are still there.
Yes. I feel you. But I'd like to tell you something. I have an alteration shop and my customers ask me to remove or to sew on these loops at the same rate. Some hate it and some find that the belt wander too much without it. As fashion designer opened to trends I see this as a language with different dialects. I don't allow myself to judge... well, most of the time 😉😁
Hello and thank you for the videos,I always learn so much from those beautiful hands. How did you get the material feeding lower footrk feed so well????? Even if I don't foam backing ,it doesn't work very weell,well, see no adjumentbfoe tension screws or anything
Hi! Thanks so much for your kind words. Referring to your question, I'm not that sure of what part of the video you are referring to. Can you clarify I little bit further for me please. Thanks 🥰
Lol..all of them,and that entire video....I think you just have a good machine....I was asking "for the machine to feed the material into itself so well,did you have to adjust something....but I think it's just your machine........I've taken mine apart and out part of anyhow spring to try and make mine press more on the fabric,but mine still is not cooperating with me...thank you for your response
@@wardpottar9375 Yes. My machine is very good. Anyways, I think you could check the feed dog on your machine. Sometimes you need to replace them and/or adjust the height so they can feed the material properly. Good luck 😉
Thank you! May I ask, specifically, what would you be more interested in me elaborating hopefully some time in the future? Tiktoks are only 60 seconds haha but maybe I could expand!
The iron is Hi-Steam, you can get it at Cleaner's Supply. The sewing machine is Juki. Here you go more info about it: th-cam.com/video/v5U4vvPgQ-o/w-d-xo.html
Already done everything before except the iron. I haven't bought that kind of iron? I am using bottle spray and regular iron. I do alteration and sewing at my home. Does that iron make difference at the process? Is that electric? In here, most laundry using steam iron using gas, not electric.
Yes. The industrial iron use gas. But mine is semi industrial and uses electricity. The finish is better and the best part is that very unlikely to burn your fabrics. Cheers!
Thank you for the replay. I have been browsing some electric steam iron and they using high wattage for some months. The price is affordable, but my house's electricity cannot cover it. I have to upgrade it first. I would love to have the juki machine too. Haha, I have few old sewing machine, serger machines and neci. It works for now. I've been using steam iron at shool before.
I know what you mean. I realized that after the video was up. But I made another one with a patterned material that stands out better. You can take a look at it th-cam.com/video/sA-yCz2Aq9A/w-d-xo.html
You don't need to preserve the original hem. After you sew a new hem, you can use coarse sandpaper to distress the edge. Make sure to get actual jeans thread for the hem.

6:52 is a basic crochet chain. Awesome video, you're the best!!!

I love that rubber hammer trick! A neighbor taught me that 30 years ago - it's saved me so much hassle!
Fabulous! Thank you for very useful tips :-) The straps, loops (especially the idea to keep pockets inside of the garment, BRILLIANT!) and Eurohem.
Subscribed within a minute after seeing that banroll technique ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 🥰 Welcome to our sewing community! 😊
It's a complete and total game changer isn't it!? I'm no longer afraid of Prom Season!

Thank you so much Mia!! I’m always happy to share my tips with the beautiful sewing community out here! ❤️
That's very true.
We generally have 5/8" seams here, so for the flat felled seam, 1/4 + 3/8... no trimming necessary. Love all your tips and tricks.
Great tips! I've been sewing for many years (lost count) and it's great to be reminded of "old techniques" made new!
That loop is great! When I was 10 years old (half a century ago🤣) we made button loops, but we had several strands of the thread and did a blanket stitch across the length of the thread. Your idea is so much faster.

French seams are more comfortable than seams done on a serger. I had a kid that could not tolerate anything rough in his clothes so if I made something for him I would use french seams.
Yes. It makes sense. Somehow the serger is rougher.
I'm one of those kids grown up. I find polyester threads are really rough compared to the fabric around them, and it takes them forever to soften up if they ever do.
these help a lot....got excited at the end when the blind stitcher was used. i purchased one because it looked neat. i have yet to try it.
Yessss! Happy sewing 🥰
To build your thread collection, watch for estate sales. Grandma tends to leave behind a LOT of sewing supplies and you can get some great deals
Yessss! That's a great idea 💡 Thanks so much for your input.
I'm sure all guys watching appreciate your work.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Thank you for such an informative video! After all these years of sewing, I am learning something new.
I’m so happy to hear!!
I love that ban roll hem! I have to try that. And you're the only other YTer I've seen who uses a quadruple thread for sewing buttons! Yay!
I didn't know. I always use quadruple thread and my colleagues too. Isn't it funny!
Those tips are quite useful especially the Euro Hem for the jeans. 💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
These sewing tips are great! Thank you for making sewing easier.

Hi. Hello. Howdy. Thoughts on taking a dress up on the sides that has a lining attached on the top and bottom. Thank you.
The lining has to be opened. Take in separately and atach the lining back. Good luck!
To go over the seam more easily put a flat button under the foot this allows the foot to pass over the seam with no problem
Yep! I'm the one who came up with this trick.

Never saw a french seam like that bfore !
Euro hem, huh? I’ve always done this when hemming jeans - nobody taught me. Nice to know it’s got a name lol
Oh! My... you are so intuitive! Cheers.

Great teacher
Is the ban-roll interfacing tape what I see for sale as ban-rol waistband interfacing? Where do you buy it?
Yes!
Brilliant. Great tips. Bx
How much elastic do you need to eliminate, allowing for stretch, when using elastic in a waistband?
Hi! It depends on the elastic. But 2 to 3 inches is good rule (if you aren’t stitching on top of the elastic). I hope this helps.
Thank you….that’s what I usually have used over the years…….loved your presentation
COOOOOOOL 😁🤗
Great tips. Can't wait to try them. What type/brand sewing machine and serger do you use?
Where can you buy the ban-roll interfacing tape?
Amazon?
Who knew! Thank you so much x
Thank you and I'm curious what type of sewing machine and what iron are you using? and where can we buy them?
The iron is Hi-Steam, you can get it at Cleaner's Supply.
The sewing machine is Juki. Here you go more info about it:

Making the chain is like crocheting
Yes! Pretty much the same.
Where can I buy the Ban roll tape? I have looked on Amazon and Wawk and can’t find it. Help! Please
Where do you get this? TIA. Love your TikTok & TH-cam ❤️
Thank you!! We have a detailed tutorial here on TH-cam about the Ban-Roll hem technique. You can look up ban-roll interfacing tape on the internet:)
Using a patterned fabric would have made the French seam demo stand out better.
I know what you mean. I realized that after the video was up. But I made another one with a patterned material that stands out better.
You can take a look at it
th-cam.com/video/sA-yCz2Aq9A/w-d-xo.html
Very good work tank you very much
Where do I buy the ban-roll interfacing?
Try Wawak if you are in the USA! Good luck!
Awesome thank you!
What brand do you recommend of the steam iron? I’ve been wanting one.
Hi! My iron is Hi-steam. I’d say it’s in the mid range and it produces a lot of steam. Cheers 🥰
You don't need to preserve the original hem. After you sew a new hem, you can use coarse sandpaper to distress the edge. Make sure to get actual jeans thread for the hem.
Yes! That's another way!
Does Roll Ban tape come under any other names? I have searched both Amazon and Wish and not found it under that name.
Try Cleaner's Supply. They sale it under ban roll. And get 1" wide. Cheers.
