I love your tutorials. I’m a lousy teacher because I get my words lost or tangled when speaking. My background was technical writing, so verbal skills were never my forte. Suggestion I make to those who I DO manage to teach: every inch or so, take a backstitch when starting your next run of running stitches. That way, when you inevitably get a seam that gives way under pressure, you’ll only lose a small section of seam, easily repaired, rather than the entire seam of your garment failing.
Thank you, that's so kind! Absolutely agree there, I do mention that in the back stitch section, as I didn't want to confuse folks who really are starting from scratch and don't know what a backstitch is yet! I'm working hard on improving my teaching skills, every video I'm learning something new!
Just found your channel, and I am DELIGHTED. Thank you so much for clear and perfectly paced instructions, and also a bonus thank you for your calming voice! I had my noice canceling headphones on and it felt like 20 minutes of meditation. Looking forward to see more of your videos!
It's so inspiring that people in the past can make hard wearing, magnificent clothes with just a few stitches. I'll look forward to your videos on seam finishes, because I often wonder how they did it without a serger.
The most common one, called felling or a run and fell seam, you can see at the end of the video, it makes a flat seam with the raw edges tucked inside, it makes a really strong seam that is comfy and lasts well, the majority of the others are variations on this theme, and there are a lot of them, people seemed to take the basic idea of hide the raw edge and then make it their own!
@@WyrdKindred Cool, I've done the felling seam but didn't know it was called felling. i just wanted to hide the raw edge at the time and thought of it. What you said about variations on a theme makes sense.
