I found this video by googling "what is pad stitching." I've been sewing for decades but want to get into men's tailoring. This was fantastic! Thank you! I'm going back to the beginning and watch all of your videos on this jacket. Then I'll see what other great things you have to offer.
As has been said, a real talent as both teacher and tailor. Your work is so good that it is like watching an exciting art piece, which in fact it is. And thank you for helping me re work my Harris tweed jacket.
I can not wait for trying this myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and doing it in such a pedagogic way. I'm very thankful for this. Neslis Classroom is my wives TH-cam channel, it's for medical students. I film and edit. Isn't it amazing how we now can share and learn?
Some folks think they teach when all they do is show someone how good they are. You are a fantastic teacher and a true artist with your work. Than You much,
Ideally it takes only a single thread, and suitings (especially flannels) often have a slightly fuzzy texture that hides even this tiny stitch. So depending on the fabric, the thread texture and color match, and the tailor's skill, the answer is "technically yes, but truly not much at all."
Hi Laurie, Where's the video that shows you putting the lapel facing/inside front piece to the front panel and the front panel to the back piece? I'm going to be getting to that very soon, having gotten this far in planning.
Is there a reason for using this technique over something like fusible interfacing? From what I've found the only reason to do this seems to be tradition and/or historical accuracy. But it's so much more work, is there an actual reason/advantage for doing it this way?
I was taught that it provides a softer, rounder, yet more pronounced and fixed roll to the lapel. People who are "nerds" for this kind of thing can tell by sight when traditional techniques have been used, and even without such expertise, a garment that is full of detail like this will usually have a particularly sharp, luxurious aura that is obvious to any observer. Things like this are how clothes get an "expensive look."
The reason for the extra work is the end result. To be frank, fusible interfacing provides a cheap looking finish even if expertly applied. It also has a tendency to “bubble” under the shell fabric.
@@protocoldroid801 I think it depends though. You can just fuse a few dots at a time, and then it won't bubble, in fact it acts very close to the stitching shown here. The difference is you can't bring the tension into the cloth.
I have pad stitched velvet before. It is tricky but it can be done. Just pick a velvet witlh a low pile, like flocking velvet to start with. Just to get used to sewing with it. Oh, also avoid super stretchy velvets. That is just a headache to deal with. Hope this helps a little .😊
My son asked me to make his wedding suit (I made his sister's wedding dress, so he thinks it's only fair) and I have zero experience with suits. Thank you for explaining everything so perfectly. I feel like I have a small foundation in suit interfacing techniques.
I thank you a lot for your videos which are very precise, clear and well filmed. Being myself wardrobe master of theater and opera in Paris, I am very happy to find explanations besides the Atlantic Ocean (and so unfortunate not to find the same videos in France...). Thousand thanks !!! 🎩
Hi can you please tell me if the pad stitch is permanent on the lapel or do you pull it out before the jacket is finished? Does the pad stitch show on the back of the right side?
Try to pick up as little of the other fabric as possible, it just has to hold the two pieces together and isn’t under any stress. When looking very closely you could make them out though.
Is there pad stitching that goes on the lower half of the jacket? I did some rows of running stitches, but is see puckering on the wool. Is the bottom canvas secured with the lining at the seams only? Thank you
Not pad stitching, but I cross stitch the edge of the canvas/hymo to the seam line. The hymo edge near the hip pocket just floats inside the jacket. Sometimes I cross stitch that edge of the hymo to the hip picket, just for an inch or two.
Thank you so much! Your videos are so simply and more detailed for my understanding. Especially the two stitch directions for the under collar. Thank you so much for responding!

The "take a bite" paper demo was so incredibly helpful!! Thank you for sharing.

I would like to THANK YOU for teaching this!
I’m in the middle of doing a blazer and this is the exact method that I wanted!
Thank you! ❤

You are such a great teacher!
Really great video. Very informative.

what an excellent video!
My burning question on pad stitching..... does the stitch ( bite) show up on the underside of the lapel?
Ideally it takes only a single thread, and suitings (especially flannels) often have a slightly fuzzy texture that hides even this tiny stitch. So depending on the fabric, the thread texture and color match, and the tailor's skill, the answer is "technically yes, but truly not much at all."
GhostCharacter Thank you for your response.
@@wayneartmann9766 Yes, exactly as GhostCharacter stated above.
@@GhostCharacter yes, beautifully stated. thanks for jumping in.

explicação perfeita. Muito obrigado.
how do u hid the stitching appear outside the exterior fabric after canvassing?
I take very tiny bites of the fabric with my needle. It takes practice! :-)
@@lauriekurutz3639 amazing, can u make a video of finishing parts when garment is ready?

Pad stitching also holds up to time much better.

Can I pad stitch velvet? Thank you, I love your tutorials!
No Velvet is a synthetic. You must have a woven.
+Robert John Velvet is a woven fabric though. It can be made from either synthetic fibers or natural fibers like cotton or silk.
I have pad stitched velvet before. It is tricky but it can be done. Just pick a velvet witlh a low pile, like flocking velvet to start with. Just to get used to sewing with it. Oh, also avoid super stretchy velvets. That is just a headache to deal with. Hope this helps a little .😊

This is a great tutorial! I finally understand. So happy to have found your channel
Where could I buy the hair canvas? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Thank you so much for this wonderfully helpful video!
Thank you. Very nice, concise and clear instructions on Pad Stitching and how it produces the desired effect.
Hi can you please tell me if the pad stitch is permanent on the lapel or do you pull it out before the jacket is finished? Does the pad stitch show on the back of the right side?
The pad stitch is permanent and does not show on the back side of the lapel. Good luck!
@@lauriekurutz3639 thank you my sister I don't know how to make it not show on the back side can you please tell me?
Try to pick up as little of the other fabric as possible, it just has to hold the two pieces together and isn’t under any stress.
When looking very closely you could make them out though.
Why does everyone stop here no one ever shows how to finish the lapel
Nice
Very nice
Very Beautifully
Thank you
I love your classes, could these methods be used for womens jackets?
Yes many women do wear custom constructed jackets.
Is there pad stitching that goes on the lower half of the jacket? I did some rows of running stitches, but is see puckering on the wool. Is the bottom canvas secured with the lining at the seams only? Thank you
Not pad stitching, but I cross stitch the edge of the canvas/hymo to the seam line. The hymo edge near the hip pocket just floats inside the jacket. Sometimes I cross stitch that edge of the hymo to the hip picket, just for an inch or two.

Hi can you please give me an advice on how to pad stitch the interfacing without the stiches showing on the right side of the fabric.
Yes, that takes skill and practice. Do samples to practice taking tiny, tiny pin-prick bites. Good luck!
@@lauriekurutz3639 thank you so much
Thank you! For this video. I want to make a suit for my son and wanted one that would last.
I didn't find the first part of this teaching. What is the name of the video part 1?
Wow, excellent excellent excellent! Thank you, make more videos!
muito bom!!!!!! very good, thanks!!!!
