I am so happy that I found your channel. Fantastic videos with very clear instructions! Looking forward to watching more and learning so much from you.
Thank you for this useful video. I look forward to more of your fabric videos. Wish I had a fabric store like you showed at the beginning of your video. All of the large stores, except Joann, have closed where I live in Florida. The other stores that remain are small and cater to quilters.
Thank you so much for this info! Now that we have to buy our fabric mostly online, every bit of info on different fabrics is so helpful! Thank you so much for what you do for us sewists.
Great tips - very educational! I've learned from experience that rayon is more fragile when damp. I've ripped several rayon shirts because of backpack fiction with underarm dampness.
Thank you for a very informative video. I just wish that you haven’t the music. I understand that it’s “modern “ to do so. Many podcasters have music when they talk but the fact is that it’s so distracting and sometimes very difficult to hear what you are saying. I hope that this “trend “ will pass over soon .
This was an excellent introduction to rayon! Could you also describe the types and weights of interfacing you would use, especially on the lighter weight rayons?
Hi, Thank you for all this information. I have a couple of viscose (which is a term that is used interchangeably with Rayon in my country where Rayon isn't a thing really) fabrics , whish I now am guessing are challies. Thank you. I have been thinking about if you can use spray starch to make the fabric behave, but haven't plucked up my courage to try. Thank you, now I know that I can try it on a small piece, but in general it should work. I amd a new owner of a pre-owned srger that I'm trying to learn how to use. It's a HuskyLock s25, so a combi machine that I named Monster, because that's what it looks like sitting on the kitchen table looking at me. I won't be cover stitching anything just yet, but I have learned how to thread it and the seams are coming out decently. I am going to be cheeky and ask if it from your experience there it makes any difference which of the threads you leave out to a three threaded overlocked seam. I do feel very cheeky asking you. My explanation is that I'm learning how to sew by myself without a teacher, and I'm basically bed bound and are sewing in the betweens. So if anyone that knows about this would guide me just a little, I would be very, very grateful. Bothering others with my asking isn't easy. Thank you. Yours, Ann
The four thread overlock seam is the strongest, so if you're using your serger to create seams on a knit, that would be the one I would recommend. If you're using it to finish edges on a woven, a three thread overlock stitch will work just fine!
It's called The Mil End store in Portland, Oregon. They don't sell online but if you're ever in the area, such a great place to shop! Sometimes if you know what you want, you can call them....

@@clarekrmillerthank you I missed it somehow!
My Figo rayon says hang to dry which I did after washing. Do you still think I should wash and dry on low in the dryer? Love your rayon tips!
Thank you.

Oh my gosh!😱good to know! thanks for adding your experience with rayon to these comments!

I like to use a lightweight knit interfacing on drapey fabrics like rayon.
@@SeamworkVideo Thanks for that tip! I would have never thought of using a knit interfacing but that really makes sense.
Fabric store envy- what fabric store is this? Looks like it is worth a trip!
It's Mill End in Portland, OR.

What was the fabric store you were shopping at? I find it difficult to find rayon, where are places to shop?
The third second of the video might help ;)

I love your enthusiasm,….i hate sewing with rayon….,love the feel, but not worth the time and aggravation…. 😊
Can you use spray starch to stabilize rayon instead.?
I would test it first, but yes I think that would work.
I am so confused... Did the thumbnail of the video changed in the first our of being uploaded?
Why?
Btw I liked the first one with fabrics better.
Rayon fabric has been around for years. I never liked it myself.
