Thank you,I'm just after using one of your tips for curling hem on my dress..wow!using tape has made me so happy,l now can wear my beautiful dress and feel confident.Your brilliant ❤
Sewing jersey is such a pain. After trying all the (half dozen) stretch stitches on my machine, I still mostly use a very small zigzag, though. Stretch stitches just take *forever*, they're so slow (lol). And the fabric needs a lot of stabilizing, to not stretch out. Which means starching or using interfacing on every single seam. I did not know about stretch yarn, though! Will check that out.
I totally agree with your points about stretch stitches - that’s my experience, too (I would only add that thicker fabrics with less stretch work a bit better with those stitches). Stretch thread was absolute game changer to me 💯
@@Julija_Gobere I just ordered some in black...I gotta say, though...at 4,50€/130m + shipping it better give me a really good result 🫣😆. I mean, if it makes sewing jersey a breeze (especially for things like the neck binding, where I always struggle to get a good result) it would be totally worth it.
What can I do when there is a bulb between the two lines of the twin needle. I tried everything with the tensions at my machine. It's a pfaff and I cannot change the tension of the bobbin.
It’s definitely a bit tricky finding needles for industrial machines, not all sewing shops carry them… In this video I show needles for domestic machine; when I sew on my industrial machine I use Organ Needles needles that have indication ‘SES’ on front of the packaging - these needles have light ball point and are great for sewing knits🤗
Oh thank you, I fell asleep it was late. I missed that part. I just found your channel, your soothing voice sent me to la la land. 😊 That is a plus! The only other lady that can do that to me is Elizabeth Zimmerman she's a famous knitter fron the UK. She's passed away now but lived here in the states her daughter now has the business, Schoolhouse Press. Thanks so much.
Try using a leader, a small scrap of fabric that you start your sewing on, then sew off it and onto the seam line. Quilters often use these for the same reason. I hope it helps.
Check your throat plate. Most machines come with two. Play around with them depending on your stitches. In the US, we have stretch thread now (as she discussed in the video) so you can use straight stitches with knits. This allows you to use the throat plate with the smaller opening. Knits will get stuck less. Not never - but less! Keep trying and good luck.
I got frustrated with this issue too, turned out my machine has trouble pulling the jersey. So I put a stip of very thin paper under the line I was going to stitch and ripped the paper when it was done. It worked very well.

You are SO right about needles! You are a treasure trove of information! Thank you so much
Oh my gosh! I have driven myself crazy with hems and it's just this easy? SMH! Thank you for this information.
A great idea about preventing the rolling of the fabric
Excellent advice thank you Julie. Truly if I knew these tips I would not have purchased an over locker and cover stitch machine.
Honestly, I wanted the cover stitch machine for the longest time, but after ‘discovering’ twin needles, I no longer want it🤗
@@Julija_Gobere great save 😊
When hemming, I press the hem in place using strips of fusible web tape. Then I use my twin needle and it keeps the hem from stretching out.
Great tip!
Very good tips. Thank you 👍🏻🧵🪡

This video has more informations
I need watch it again and again especially i am not well in English 😢😢😢
Thank you
When you use Mettler seraflex thread, do you have to wind the bobbin thread by hand?
Thank you ❤
Hi could you suggest the organ needles for sewing knits on a serger? Or is it fine to use the regular DC×1 serger needles?
What can I do when there is a bulb between the two lines of the twin needle. I tried everything with the tensions at my machine. It's a pfaff and I cannot change the tension of the bobbin.
Can you use twin needles in any sewing machine
Thank you for this very helpful video! 😊 What brand is the light you have for above your sewing machine?
Glad you enjoyed the video, Heather! My lamp is a non-brand, but here is a very similar lamp with identical features: amzn.to/3oHX28F
@Julija Gobere (SewingJulie) awesome...much appreciated for the info on a lamp!
Are the needles shown for your industrial machine? I need jersey needles for my industrial and I’ve been having a hard time finding them

@@Julija_Gobere thank you! do you mind sharing the code. Like is it dbx1 ses?
Hi Julie, where did you get that lamp?
Yes, I was wondering the same. I need to purchase a lamp.
Got the lamp and like it alot!
I only have a straight stitch machine...any suggestions?
Watch part about stretch thread - that’s what I use when sewing with my industrial straight stitch machine🤗

Tip number 1. I used a jersey needle and fabric still got caught in the throat plate
Try using a leader, a small scrap of fabric that you start your sewing on, then sew off it and onto the seam line. Quilters often use these for the same reason. I hope it helps.
Start a little ahead of the edge of the fabric and do a couple of reverse stitches first.
Check your throat plate. Most machines come with two. Play around with them depending on your stitches. In the US, we have stretch thread now (as she discussed in the video) so you can use straight stitches with knits. This allows you to use the throat plate with the smaller opening.

Can you share a link to the elastic thread you recommend plz?
I like to use Mettler Seraflex thread, it has a good stretch and elasticity🙂
@@Julija_Gobere thank you!
