    What a great idea. There is so much to know about fabric. Choosing to focus on one kind per video makes the information so much easier to remember.

    Very informative video. I just wish the photos you spoke about were posted for just a few seconds longer because they seemed to just be flashed on the screen too quickly and you were still talking about some of the photos with no photo to look at so that would take future improvements.
    Loved how you showed the stretch of your fabrics.
    Thank You!

    Thank you for the video. I have always wanted to use stretch cotton but being new to sewing, I've always been afraid. Likewise, I've never used jersey or ponte. I've used cotton and I'm currently using challis. Once I've used the material I have, I'm going to look at buying some stretch cotton if I can find it at a good price. Your videos are always very informative and I thank you for posting.

    I am confused about different weights of woven fabrics so that would be helpful as a video. Also, do you use a regular universal needle for stretch cotton? Thanks👏👏👏

  • @susanbates112
    @susanbates112 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi, I was wondering, would you stitch stretch cotton fabric with a regular straight stitch? I know you use a small zig-zag on a stretch jersey fabric, but I'm assuming a regular straight stitch is OK for stretch cotton, am I right? ( as it doesn't need to stretch at the seams!) I'm using a regular home sewing machine, btw, not an overlocker...

    • @Sewisfaction
      @Sewisfaction  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question! Yes you’re correct a normal straight stitch will be fine, you can make it slightly longer if your standard is very short just to give it a bit more give ❤️

      @susanbates112 4 ปีที่แล้ว
