THANK You for A Great and Awesome tutorial.🎉👏👍💯👌. I know Alot more now because of Your explanation step- by-step. And what type of fabric. Looking forward into more of your videos and tutorials. AWESOME JOB 💯👌
Great video, I've been watching about five diff tutorials trying to find one with the measurements i had on hand so I could use up some scraps. You're a lifesaver.
I'm not understanding the extra seam. Why cut 2 when you can make it out of one straight piece and move the twist opposite to your finishing seam once the end is sewn... I will try it out and see what happens!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! What kind of thread are you using? I used a regular cotton thread and it immediately snapped when I stretched the headband to put it over my head. Is there a certain thread you would suggest?
@@HeatherHandmade thank you for the response! I did use a zigzag stitch (on the widest setting), and I was incorrect in my first comment, I actually used a 100% polyester all purpose thread. When you stretch the headband can you feel the tightness of the thread at all?
@@hannahmitchell2558 No, I can't feel my seam when I stretch my headband. That's very curious because there shouldn't be a problem but there's lots of factors when sewing knit fabrics. Was the zigzag stitch long or short? (Like basting vs regular stitches) What type of fabric were you using?
@@HeatherHandmade Oh, interesting... I did a long zigzag (set to 5/5 on my machine) with low tension and an average stitch length. I've played around with it a bit and have started doing a longer straight stitch for the seams and reinforcing it with a narrower zigzag over the top of it. That's strengthened the seam to prevent it from breaking easily, but I can definitely still feel the seam when I stretch the headband. Would you mind sharing what setting you use when stitching your headbands? It looks like you're using a narrower zigzag here.
@@hannahmitchell2558 I think the problem is the longer stitch length. It makes the zigzag stitch less stretchy. I usually do a 3 width and a 2.4 length (that's the regular stitch length). Sometimes I even have to go up to a 3.5 width with really stretchy fabric.
Yes, you might want to make it an inch or two shorter so that it stretches around your head instead of just sitting on your head. Does that make sense?
I appreciate the work you put into your videos and sharing them! But seeing your face and you giving a verbal description along the way is sooo much better? Well, that just my opinion anyway? Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, your very kind! Well, even if you can’t be visible in the video, I much appreciate the verbal instructions along the way, for me, I’m often listening and doing the project at the same time ❤️
I feel silly, but for the twist headband, the second one, I can't for the life of me figure out how the second step is pinned and sewn. Camera angels could help if I could see what's going on while it's being sewn. Going to keep trying though!
You can’t follow what she’s doing? Sew along with her and keep pausing the video. Do what she does step by step. Watch the video, pause/sew. Watch, pause/sew. Watch, pause/sew etc.
I mean, the video is literally how to make these two specific headbands pictured, and she showed that..... so maybe it was just the wrong tutorial if that's not what you wanted to make. 😉

Glad it helped!
I just made one of each style and they came together quickly and easily. Thank you for the excellent tutorial!
Wonderful!
Great video, I've been watching about five diff tutorials trying to find one with the measurements i had on hand so I could use up some scraps. You're a lifesaver.
Glad I could help!
Suggestions, new blade in rotary cutter and use the mat closer to the middle.
Thank you, this is the easiest way to sew a twisted headband
Thanks for watching!
On the blue and white one, when you edge stitched it closed, did you use a zigzag stitch too? Nice tutorial
I didn't use a zigzag stitch for the edge stitch. I wasn't worried about that one section not stretching.
❤❤❤ Beautiful
Thank you!
Me ENCANTÓ ,quisiera de ser posible aparezca en pantalla las medidas, pues soy una aprendiz. GRACIAS por compartir. Un SALUDO desde la Habana CUBA 🇨🇺
Thank you for a great video.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Thanks for visiting
I’ve been trying to figure it out, thanks so much for sharing it, appreciated ♥️
Happy to help!
which needle is best for stretched fablics ..?
The sewing machine needles I like to use for knit fabric is a ballpoint needle or a stretch needle
thanks
Hi! Does it matter what size to get?
Can one use cotton fabric?
For this headband you can only use knit fabric. You can't use cotton fabric that doesn't stretch because it won't stretch around your head.
does it matter what kind of sewing machine is used?
any sewing machine with a zigzag stitch works great!
I'm not understanding the extra seam. Why cut 2 when you can make it out of one straight piece and move the twist opposite to your finishing seam once the end is sewn... I will try it out and see what happens!
It helps stabilize both sides so that the twist stays inthe front
I actually have two scrap lycra pieces that are 8.5 by 11 so its also a great use of scraps
Thanks so much for this tutorial! What kind of thread are you using? I used a regular cotton thread and it immediately snapped when I stretched the headband to put it over my head. Is there a certain thread you would suggest?
I used a poly cotton all purpose thread. Did you use a zigzag stitch?

Great, thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Easy for me to follow. Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!!
No problem!
My head circumference is 24inches should I use it
Yes, you might want to make it an inch or two shorter so that it stretches around your head instead of just sitting on your head. Does that make sense?
@@HeatherHandmade ok
How to sell?
I also saw your little bopeep costume It said from one year ago
Do you have size guides for infants, toddlers and children too? I'd love to make these for my girls!
i actually have a printable pattern for all the different sizes and styles here: www.heatherhandmade.com/free-headband-sewing-patterns/
What are the best fabric for head band
cotton spandex jersey or double brushed poly
What would be the measurement for girls?
About 16-18 but measure before you cut anything!
Hi Heather! Measure the head first? Then 8x16 vs. 8x20 adults
Yes, 16 might be a little too small or a little too big but it should be close
Would it work with 100% cotton
as long as the fabric has stretch it will work
Why do she cut them in two pieces just to sew them together I'm so confused!
I appreciate the work you put into your videos and sharing them! But seeing your face and you giving a verbal description along the way is sooo much better?
Well, that just my opinion anyway?
Thank you!
That's my goal! But I can only film videos with me in it when my kids are at school and it's been a crazy year in regards to that!
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, your very kind! Well, even if you can’t be visible in the video, I much appreciate the verbal instructions along the way, for me, I’m often listening and doing the project at the same time ❤️
I SOOO agree with this comment. Nothing beats someone actually talking and explaining things. I wish she would.
I feel silly, but for the twist headband, the second one, I can't for the life of me figure out how the second step is pinned and sewn. Camera angels could help if I could see what's going on while it's being sewn. Going to keep trying though!
The pictures in the blog post are very detailed and will help a lot!
Curious why you didn’t just take a long 20” piece for the second one Instead of sewing two 10” pieces together to make it long?
I did two pieces since the side seams help keep the twist in the right place. It also helps keep the sides flat instead of bunching up.
You say 8 x 10 for the 3nd one, then you cut it at 7.5 x 11!
This is how I want to make one but I'm afraid I need words cannot understand the video sorry!!
You can’t follow what she’s doing? Sew along with her and keep pausing the video. Do what she does step by step. Watch the video, pause/sew. Watch, pause/sew. Watch, pause/sew etc.
ahahah I coulnd´t figure it out, but you are folding the first one wrongly ;)
Rude
