Thank you so much. You're very correct Bridget. Phones can be a huge distraction when sewing especially when you're on social media. Thank you so much for this tip.
Yes. That's very important because if the machine is not taken care of, it can really slow and frustrate the work when it begins to malfunction. Thank you for this additional tip.
Wao you hit my problem,thank you so much may GOD enrich ur knowledge and ur pocket,i have been facing this problem for over 15 years no body has ever hit the nail of my problem for me,today you hit it,that number 3 is my problem,thank you so much
@@yombel Amen. Thank you so much. I’m glad you got a solution to the problem from the video. The number 3 problem can easily be solved by following the instructions given in the video. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Yes, pressing is so important! If your fabric is wrinkled before you sew it, it is so difficult to get it to cooperate. And even though pressing a seam might feel like an interruption, it’s faster and yields a better result to get the seam flat and locked i. So it cooperates with the next part of your sewing. These were great tips! Thanks for sharing.
You're most Welcome. You're so correct WaterNai. Pressing makes the work go smoother and faster. It even enables you to enjoy the work more. Thank you so much for the feedback. I love your name WaterNai. It has a certain vibe to it.
@@luyasi Yes, agreed-sewing so much more enjoyable when the fabric is pressed. But maybe part of that is that I find pressing quite satisfying in and of itself. Thanks! Glad you like my name. 😊 Looking forward to your next video!
Lolzzzz😀 You're so correct Temi. I used to be guilty of that before. Phones can be a big distraction and can slow down the work; especially when you're on social media. Thank you so much for this useful tip.
@Augusta It's something that can be worked on. One way is to time yourself when using your phone. You can set a particular time limit that you'll not exceed on a social media platform when you're working.
@@luyasipls I almost see myself as a failure in fashion school everyone sew very neath and fast my sewing are always rough I have tried and feel like giving up atimes I feel like it's not ordinary everyone sew better than me tho I am a beginner
@@JaneMariah-ly2cg Don't give up dear. I passed through the same experience in fashion school too. I was always clumsy and slow. There was a time i destroyed a work given to me by my boss to sew. I had a lot of self doubt then. There was a time, i felt i would never learn how to cut because it all felt so complex to me then. Just stay consistent dear and keep at it, you'll become so good that you'll surprise yourself. Don't give up dear. I believe in you.
I just came by your video and I’m thankful for your insight on this issue. I’m not professionally trained but I love the idea of being able to make simple and uncomplicated pieces for myself. I was also tired of paying an arm and a leg to dry cleaners for simple alterations to my clothes so I bought myself a sewing machine and it’s saved me money and time and I’ve learned a lot too from tutorials on yt. But sometimes I don’t enjoy sewing because of this particular issue you’ve addressed. Yesterday I tried making a simple kimono dress I’ve put off making for so long. I decided to make it yesterday and when I tell you it took me the whole day to make something that only took 30 minutes tops for someone else, I’m not even exaggerating. 😩. I was so tired and it sucked the joy of sewing out of me. So I’m glad to know that even some of the trained suffer from this issue and I’m not alone. Thank you very much and your tips and secrets are well noted.🙏🏽
@Abenaappiah. You're most welcome. I can relate because i faced exactly the same challenge when i started. It happens to the best of us. There was a time i felt i wasn't even made for the job. Just keep at it and implement those strategies then give yourself some time, and you'll be surprised how fast you'll become. Thank you so much for the feedback.
You're welcome dear. I also felt that way during my time at the fashion school. There was a time i felt i wasn't good enough because of the speed thing. It happens to the best of us. Once you implement those strategies, you'll find out you'll become so much faster. Thanks for the feedback.
@modestfashion1277 It will get better with time. That pressure is common at the beginning. Sometimes when a customer states the amount spent on a fabric that he/she wants you to sew, tension can also build up. It happened to me a lot. As you sew more clothes, the confidence will build up. Another way to build the confidence fast is to seek more knowledge in tailoring. Thank God you're in the right place.
Thank you for this wonderful video.. I'm from India. All the 3 tips you have given are highly useful. Particularly I like the 3rd one, when you are meticulous to avoid mistakes, you have more chances to make it. I would like to share one more tip which has helped me a lot. Before going to start sewing an apparel, all the pieces should be cut ready, including even non- important things like bias tapes, button pieces etc and stored in an accurate way, so that you won't miss it. When I was learning, I used to cut pieces in between sewing. That took me a lot of time. After that, even if I cut before hand, I misplace them and searching them would take a lot of time which gives a lot of frustration and demotivation.
You're welcome Lalitha. You're so correct; cutting and organizing all the pieces before starting the project is so important. Organizing everything keeps them handy and makes the work go fast. There was a time i misplaced the sleeve of a shirt i cut because i didn't organize all the pieces together. Thank you so much for this feedback. I love India and I'll come visit in the near future.
This is so correct. I hate when my bobbin runs out in the middle of sewing. When i started sewing, i did not respect ironing oh, i felt it waste my time but with time, i realize it actually speed things up. Thank you
Lolzzz, that's true, i can relate. When the bobbin runs out during sewing, and you stop to get it filled, it kills momentum and prolongs the work. Yes, ironing takes a lot of time and it's worse when you have to sew and then go and iron continuously. That's why it's best to iron before starting the project.
I have just found your video. I have a disease that means that I cannot finish sewing quickly because of pain. Your tips really help as it cuts down on getting up and down all the time - batching work like pressing, then sewing really helps and. It's pain. Thank you
You're welcome Susan. Getting up and down all the time while sewing is actually stressful. It can make one get tired quick and can slow down momentum. I'm glad those tips really helped you out. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Nice video. Can you do a video on how you wind your bobbins. I've never seen it done like that - I was fascinated with the quick view you showed in the video, and I'm always open to new techniques. I don't think anyone in the US has seen a bobbin wound like that unless they traveled outside the country. PLEASE do a video.
I have also been struggling with sewing so slow I can take hours of hours on just a simple dress but I'm trying to learn to see faster this period ✂️ thanks for the tips😊
I was once like that too. Most of us started very slow too. Just keep going at it and then implement those tips and you'll be surprised how fast you'll get. Thanks for the feedback.
You're most welcome Heather. You're correct. Sometimes the solution to seemingly complicated problems are usually very simple. Thanks for the feedback.
I don't post my work because I don't have a mannequin yet and I don't have a good background to take pictures so I feel my work would not look good for my audience without these things. And most times it is difficult to get pictures from clients for advert even after pleading with them ooo. 😢
Yes. You're correct. It's very difficult to get pictures from clients. Try and invest in a manniquin; it will yield massive returns. You can start with a half body manniquin or a headless manniquin; it's cheaper. For the background, you can start with painting part of your wall and getting some artwork on it. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes I'm with you on this but I still post my work regardless without mannequin and nice background. I don't even have a cutting table it's ironing board I'm using but I still post. Don't feel bad about it just post and know that a time is coming you will look back at those pics and smile. You can check my shorts to confirm what I'm saying. Wish you best of luck

I'm so glad it was helpful. I faced that challenge too for years. At a point in time, i almost got discouraged because i felt i was too slow at the job but once i implemented those tips, it made my work ten times faster. You will become faster too. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Yes. You're correct, but the ironing during the sewing process doesn't often take much time except when you're doing a complex design. The key is to cut and iron what can be ironed before starting the project. Then your ironing would not take so much time once you start the project. Thanks for the feedback.
Did you even listen to his explanation? He already said you should iron as much as you can even though some parts you have to iron as you go. People should learn to read and ask only relevant questions.
You're welcome. I experienced same problem too. I was too cautious and careful when sewing. Always afraid not too make a mistake and that led to my making many mistakes. Lolzz. Don't worry, once you implement the strategy of being less careful, you'll be surprised how much of an expert you'll become. Thanks for watching.

Great tips!! I use all of these and didn’t realize they were helping me sew faster. People would be amazed at how fast I sew and I didn’t understand why. I thought everyone sews as fast as I do. My favorite tip is the last one! When I’ve had lots of time to sew I would try to be meticulously and it would slow me down and also I found myself making more mistakes 🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for this video
You're most welcome. I'm glad those tips were helpful. Yes, being overly meticulous can really slow your work and make you more prone to mistakes. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Thanks a lot Oladipo. Sewing a stretchy fabric like crépe has less to do with the foot and more to do with the type of needle and sewing machine. Some sewing machines work better with certain kinds of fabric than others. I'll do a separate video on that topic. A temporary solution to that problem when sewing some stretchy fabric is to cut pieces of paper and place it on top of the area of the fabric before you sew.
@@oladipoolajumoke4091 Use ballpoint needle or stretch needle. There's a very effective hack or method that i use to solve this problem that might not necessarily require you to change your needle. I'll make a video soon on it. Stay updated on the channel.
Thank you so much Please I just got emel machine and I don't have any idea of how to use the machine. Please can you do a tutorial on how to use the machine as a beginner
Tanks for this update. Pls I want to confirm between and industrial machine and a manual machine, what is really the time difference in terms of sewing faster
You're welcome. Industrial machines are much faster than a manual one. Depends on the make and speed of the industrial machine, it can be 5 times to 10 times faster. It also depends on the user; some experienced people can be very fast with a manual machine. You can also get tired faster on a manual because of the stress of pedaling and that's why most people attach a motor to their manual machine. I'll do a video soon on the pros and cons of both the industrial and manual machine.
Thank you for this. Using an industrial machine, Pls what is the standard size of sewing stitches to be used thru settings? I don't know if you get my question... Some say it's a tiny riches others say it's mud medium while others are using the long jump stitches that loosened up easily
You're most welcome. Wow! This your comment came at the right time. I just uploaded a video on that issue 5 minutes ago on "How to use and setup an industrial sewing machine" click on this link to watch the video. th-cam.com/video/qR5tfzRqDjc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YKXArYBu7rpUl0P1
Thank you for the great suggestions. My problem is that placing the pattern parts on the cloth and cutting the cloth take very long (the cloth is already ironed). One reason is that I need to be very careful to have the same seam allowance everywhere and measure where I cut over and over again. Would you have any advice?
You're most welcome Christiane. Cutting is usually a very delicate issue whether you're cutting the fabric from a pattern piece or from scratch. It requires a lot of attention to details and time to avoid irreversible mistakes, so it's quite normal to spend time while cutting. There are techniques though that can speed up the cutting process. I'll do a separate video on it. Stay updated on the channel. Thanks for the feedback.

A good electric sewing machine that is strong enough to sew commercially is also quite expensive. It's almost as expensive as an industrial sewing machine. There are cheaper ones but those cheaper electric sewing machines cannot work well for long hours and they can't do heavy work. If you must buy an electric machine, get a heavy duty electric machine. As regards to brands, i've seen positive reviews about Alfa electric machine though I've not used it personally. Another alternative I'll suggest is to get a manual machine and attach a motor to it but if you want to get an electric machine, make sure it's a heavy duty electric machine. I'll review some sewing machine brands in a future video.
It's most likely one out of two reasons why this happens; it's either because you're leaving too much sewing allowance on the sleeve and the garment or it's because you're curving the sleeve too much. Check out my video on how to properly cut a sleeve on this link th-cam.com/video/hWhKnP8TRPI/w-d-xo.html Also check out my video on how to properly cut armhole on this link th-cam.com/video/8gXl2gmz7Ho/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CbZ50QRl8Ev1DoSQ

You'll need a pressing iron. It's very important. Preferably a steam iron. There are some parts of garments that'll need pressing during your sewing and you'll also need to press the clothes when you're done. You just gave me an idea for my next video. I'm going to highlight some "essential things every tailor needs"
Please machine doesn't sew Lycra fabrics . I use a semi industrial machine and anytime I'm Sewing Lycra the thread is always cutting and doesn't move. Also I got the needle for Lycra but it still doesn't work like sewing normal fabric 😢😢
The problem is that your machine doesn't sew that kind of fabric well. There's a quick solution to that problem. One way to sew such kinds of fabric is to cut pieces of paper and place it on top of the fabric where you want to sew. Stay updated on the channel. I'll do a video soon on some methods and hacks you can use to solve this problem.
@@temilopeakintomide9495 Okay Temilope. I'll drop a video soon on this issue. Seems many of you are facing this same issue. Stay updated on the channel. Thank you so much for the feedback
It's very difficult to correct a tight crotch because it has to do with a curve. One of the best ways to do it is to loose the entire trouser and reshape the crotch, but there has to be extra allowance on the trouser.
You need to fill your bobbin properly that is the worst way to fill a bobbin the tension will be off, no wonder your stitches on the garments from Africa looks so rough, there is no finesse in your seams, it is not faster but it is neat and beautiful.
There's a technique we use to add tension on the thread while using that method to fill the thread. Although it's not the official method of filling a thread, and not the best method but it can be properly done with the proper technique. Thanks for the feedback.
You're welcome. If i had explained it in 3 minutes, some people might not have gotten it. Sometimes, it takes illustrations and examples from life experience to pass a point. Thanks for the feedback.

Great tips!! I use all of these and didn’t realize they were helping me sew faster. People would be amazed at how fast I sew and I didn’t understand why. I thought everyone sews as fast as I do. My favorite tip is the last one! When I’ve had lots of time to sew I would try to be meticulously and it would slow me down and also I found myself making more mistakes 🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for this video
You're most welcome. I'm glad those tips were helpful. Yes, being overly meticulous can really slow your work and make you more prone to mistakes. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Thank you!🙏

Good work boss❤, what kind of foot do i need to sew " a little stretchy material like. Crépe"? I use a 2 butterfly machine. Thanks
Thanks a lot Oladipo. Sewing a stretchy fabric like crépe has less to do with the foot and more to do with the type of needle and sewing machine. Some sewing machines work better with certain kinds of fabric than others. I'll do a separate video on that topic. A temporary solution to that problem when sewing some stretchy fabric is to cut pieces of paper and place it on top of the area of the fabric before you sew.
So which needle can I use for a smooth sewing apart from the regular 18
@@oladipoolajumoke4091 Use ballpoint needle or stretch needle. There's a very effective hack or method that i use to solve this problem that might not necessarily require you to change your needle. I'll make a video soon on it. Stay updated on the channel.

You're welcome. I'll do a video soon on how to use an industrial sewing machine. Stay updated on the channel. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Tanks for this update. Pls I want to confirm between and industrial machine and a manual machine, what is really the time difference in terms of sewing faster
You're welcome. Industrial machines are much faster than a manual one. Depends on the make and speed of the industrial machine, it can be 5 times to 10 times faster. It also depends on the user; some experienced people can be very fast with a manual machine. You can also get tired faster on a manual because of the stress of pedaling and that's why most people attach a motor to their manual machine. I'll do a video soon on the pros and cons of both the industrial and manual machine.
Thank you for this.
Using an industrial machine, Pls what is the standard size of sewing stitches to be used thru settings? I don't know if you get my question... Some say it's a tiny riches others say it's mud medium while others are using the long jump stitches that loosened up easily
You're most welcome. Wow! This your comment came at the right time. I just uploaded a video on that issue 5 minutes ago on "How to use and setup an industrial sewing machine" click on this link to watch the video.

Thank you for the great suggestions. My problem is that placing the pattern parts on the cloth and cutting the cloth take very long (the cloth is already ironed). One reason is that I need to be very careful to have the same seam allowance everywhere and measure where I cut over and over again. Would you have any advice?
You're most welcome Christiane. Cutting is usually a very delicate issue whether you're cutting the fabric from a pattern piece or from scratch. It requires a lot of attention to details and time to avoid irreversible mistakes, so it's quite normal to spend time while cutting. There are techniques though that can speed up the cutting process. I'll do a separate video on it. Stay updated on the channel. Thanks for the feedback.

Please can you recommend an electric sewing machine that one can buy which is still very good but cannot afford the big industrial machines
A good electric sewing machine that is strong enough to sew commercially is also quite expensive. It's almost as expensive as an industrial sewing machine. There are cheaper ones but those cheaper electric sewing machines cannot work well for long hours and they can't do heavy work. If you must buy an electric machine, get a heavy duty electric machine. As regards to brands, i've seen positive reviews about Alfa electric machine though I've not used it personally. Another alternative I'll suggest is to get a manual machine and attach a motor to it but if you want to get an electric machine, make sure it's a heavy duty electric machine. I'll review some sewing machine brands in a future video.
@@luyasi very detailed, thank you so much

My problem now is how to sew the armpit. It always crinkles so i notch to loosen it. Even when i sew on half inch. Am i curving the stitch too much?
It's most likely one out of two reasons why this happens; it's either because you're leaving too much sewing allowance on the sleeve and the garment or it's because you're curving the sleeve too much. Check out my video on how to properly cut a sleeve on this link

For someone who doesn't have iron?
As a tailor you should have a pressing iron,that's one major requirement and also equipment
You'll need a pressing iron. It's very important. Preferably a steam iron. There are some parts of garments that'll need pressing during your sewing and you'll also need to press the clothes when you're done. You just gave me an idea for my next video. I'm going to highlight some "essential things every tailor needs"
Pls just go and buy. Shikena
Please machine doesn't sew Lycra fabrics . I use a semi industrial machine and anytime I'm Sewing Lycra the thread is always cutting and doesn't move. Also I got the needle for Lycra but it still doesn't work like sewing normal fabric 😢😢
The problem is that your machine doesn't sew that kind of fabric well. There's a quick solution to that problem. One way to sew such kinds of fabric is to cut pieces of paper and place it on top of the fabric where you want to sew. Stay updated on the channel. I'll do a video soon on some methods and hacks you can use to solve this problem.

Good morning, please I made a trouser and the crotch is a bit tight. How do I correct it for the client
To my own opinion,I don't think that can be corrected except you still have some allowance left,my view though 🤷
It's very difficult to correct a tight crotch because it has to do with a curve. One of the best ways to do it is to loose the entire trouser and reshape the crotch, but there has to be extra allowance on the trouser.
Please, your intro is always too much.
Thanks for this
You're welcome dear. Thanks for watching.
You need to fill your bobbin properly that is the worst way to fill a bobbin the tension will be off, no wonder your stitches on the garments from Africa looks so rough, there is no finesse in your seams, it is not faster but it is neat and beautiful.
There's a technique we use to add tension on the thread while using that method to fill the thread. Although it's not the official method of filling a thread, and not the best method but it can be properly done with the proper technique. Thanks for the feedback.
And u made this video unnecessarily long. These 3 tips could take less than 3min for u to explain. But thanks anyways
