this video is more of a "sew along with me" video so you can grab your materials and follow along if you like! 1870s corset video: • Cinderella dress part ...
Thank you for this instructional video. This will help me to "up my game" when it comes to corsetry. May I ask why you pull both ends through and make a knot at the needle, instead of pulling one end through and making a single knot at the end of the thread? You would still have the same number of strands on the needle, and much less trouble pulling the needle through the fabric.
Ok I see what you mean, I think I may just have a habit of doing that when I hand sew because it keeps my thread more secure, but you're right that would be a much easier way, thank you :)
Do you ever find that flossing through tears some threads in the fabric instead of sliding through the weave? Also, idk if this is the correct term but I call an individual bundle of embroidery floss a skein
Thank you. It mostly depends on what fabric you are using, corsets are made with stronger fabrics so you don't have to worry about tearing. But if the needle catches one of the fibers, I just take it out, smooth the fabric, and start over. (But this only really happens with loosely woven fabrics)
Beautiful designs...however embroidery floss is typically divided and used in strands of 3. Makes for a much more dainty embroidery. It's also typically used as a single strand not doubled and knotted like regular sewing. You'll see you can get much more intricate designs this way.

Thank you, you are absolutely right!
