In videos you don't usually get both great info or delivery but you acomploshied it. As a bonus, you give tons of really great links. This is one of the most comprehensive and well done I've seen. Impressive. I'll start watching a lot more.
Great tip on using Power Net and Power Mesh. They ARE very different so you have to know what kind of stabilization power you need before you order/use them.
I've been sewing with knits for over 30 years. I always enjoy viewing your videos on the subject because you provide such great info to knit sewists. It's a whole different animal than sewing with wovens. With this realization, sewists will have much better luck creating knit garments.
I didnt know there was stretchy stabilizer. Thank you
They are so great, it makes all the difference. I always have some in my stash 😊
Johanna, this is one of your best "advice videos" ever! 👍👍 Some of us know this but individuals beginning to enter the world of garment sewing will not; hopefully this video will help multitudes of people. 😘
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear, I love doing these kind of deep dive videos, since all this info can be kinda tricky to wrap our head around, especially if one is new to sewing
always such a wealth of information...one thing I do on button hole plackets in knit garments is besides the interfaced facing, is to add a strip of lightweight interfacing on the wrong side of the front of the garment where the button holes are to be made...this prevents stretching in that area and adds extra stabilizing for the button holes...I keep a flexible teflon cover on my iron to prevent sticking and glue residue from building up on the sole plate of the iron....
I've never seen such a great knit video. seriously thank you!
I had no idea. I only knew about the clear elastic. Thank you. Very informative.
Thank you, yes there are so many options out there!
Thank you, Johanna for the great information!
Super helpful, thank you!!

Just what i was looking for today!
That makes me happy to hear! 🙂
Just what i needed!
Yay, that makes me happy to hear!
Very informative, Johanna!
Thank you!
If ya cant get stretch interfacing, ya can get a product called 606 spray adhesive, which you can spray onto the power mesh ... then iron it on like you would with interfacing
Thank you, I´ve never heard of this tip before!
A great "deep dive"! Thanks for the info. 3 thousand 3 hundred views so far, WOW 😃 that's awesome!
Ummmm perfect timing ❣️
Great to hear! 🙂
Great insight!
Thank you!
Very informative. Thanks.

Excellent info!

Happy to hear you found it helpful!
Thank you for the video. So useful to know all these tips. Oh, and I just bought your "Sewing Jeans" book at book depository. Cannot wait for it to arrive in Australia as we are now in Autumn and the cooler months are a great sewing time.
Yeah I have been battling with it
Useful video thanks 🌹
Happy to hear you found it useful 🙂
That is great information
Thank you 🙂
Does using knit interfacing maintains the stretch of the material? How do I make a waistband for a stretch fabric?
Thank you so much, Johanna 🙏 This is a really perfect video and it'll help me lot!
Yay, that makes me super happy to hear!
Thanks
Thank you for this video. Can I use this on a woven fabric?
I am hemming a crushed velvet bridesmaid dress. What would be the best interfacing to use to keep the velvet from stretching out as I rehem? Thank you for ALL your great tips!
Thank you for this interfacing video guide. I am making a baby blanket that's made of cotton spandex jersey on one side and bamboo spandex jersey on the other side. I want to stabilize/decrease the stretch range of the fabric. Which stabilizer would you recommend?
Very helpful video. I use clear elastic a lot because it’s so easy & accessible. I get confused with all the different stabilisers.
Yes, it can be tricky to figure out all the options and how and when to use them all, so this is a topic I loved doing a deep dive into and share all the stuff I learned myself
Wow this is really good! But wouldn't you have to line it then?
Hello Johanna. I did The Mindful Wardrobe Project Course with Sew Liberated this spring. And I decided to make myself some new jeans, slightly baggy though, Style Arc Kew and Victor patterns. So up popped your Sewing Jean's book on Amazon, just in time! And then I found your TH-cam channel and your website. And I've got a few patterns to make tee shirt style tops and a smart cowl neck top too so I'll be interested to hear your recommendations for buying and sewing knit fabrics.
Like you I'm having to create a small sewing corner in my living room so I've been doing that this spring too, more inspiration from the MWP course. I've repurposed a Billy bookcase to hold my sewing/knitting/embroidery/natural dyes and other craft books and as many of my tools and notions as I can cram in! And I have a folding gateleg table in front of it which is a good size for most things but I can open the other flap to make it a cutting table. And my filing cabinet has also been moved and repurposed to hold fabric, interfacings/wadding etc, and my cross stitch supplies. And I've got some very old, very cheap and rather ugly cupboards that are pushed together to kind of be a sideboard which may hold all my many fabrics that I've been buying to make myself a new wardrobe. I've been putting on weight for years and yoyo dieting hasn't helped and none of my nice things fit me now. That's what I did the MWP course for and it was very good. So I'm accepting myself as I am now and buying lots of lovely fabric to make beautiful things.
And also like you, I have several Knoppe drawer boxes. So I've been repurposing them too, to organise my sewing things. I've noticed you've removed your dymo tape labels. I'm using metal label frames on mine, and cutting up bits of old card to go in them. I think I'll be changing my mind and moving things about a bit so the little card labels will be easy to slide out with a pin and even turn over to rewrite them or simply move them about. So I thought I'd share them with you

They're a sort of old brass/bronze colour and I think they look pretty good, plus they're flexible.
I think I'm the Queen of Contentment! A long time ago I read that the Roman Philosopher, Epicurus, said "a man who cannot be satisfied with simple things will never be satisfied". I've been thinking about that for years! And I've come to the conclusion that being satisfied with simple things is contentment and that contentment is a kind of long term happiness that I can control on the whole. So I'm content with my cheap furniture, and my repurposed and second hand things. My Bernina is older than yours! It's a Record 930, which I bought in 1985, before computerised machines were available. But I don't have any space for an overlocker or a coverstitch machine so I'll just have to do my best with the Bernina. Fortunately I bought the best at the time so I have a few stretch stitches and a knee lifter, and I invested in a walking foot and an overlocking foot. I was very sensible in those days. And I'd just been working in a bespoke tailors workshop for 7 years, so I wanted a machine that would replicate the machines I'd been using there. I still have excellent sewing skills although I'm not so good at fitting. My boss always did that so I never learned. But I'm determined to learn now and make muslins to help with that. I've got quite a bit of Bomüll fabric from IKEA which I use for lining curtains and foam cushions. In a couple of weeks the shops will open again as part of our lockdown recovery in the UK, so I'll be buying a lot more of it to make the muslins. And because it's good fabric and I don't want to waste it, I'll make those things up properly and then dye them to wear as everyday clothes - hence the natural dyes books! It's a long term project of course, and it had to start with rearranging the living room, which I'm still doing. But it's a lot of fun. My weight gain put me off sewing for myself, making "tents", but I'm determined to conquer that. And I'll embroider my own labels with body positive affirmations to hide inside pockets and other places inside my clothes to help with that.
Sorry this is long isn't it? I guess you feel like a good friend that I can chat to about sewing related things! Kind regards from Cathy 😘💕
Hi Cathy! Just readd your long enthusiastic comment to Johanna, The Last Stitch , so happy for you!
Hi where to buy elastic interface tape?
I made some shorts from Terry towel cloth but they tend to pull away from the seam in some areas that are tugged on the most. Would clear elastic be good for the seams and fusable interfacing for the entire inside for longevity?
What about if you have discovered an absolutely beautiful jersey knit that sublimates incredibly beautifully but its just a tad too thin and needs a bit more thickness but till has its stretch. Basically a lining but not moveable under the top layer of fabric but soft.
Where's the best place to purchase these in Sweden? I'm fairly new to the country and still figuring out the best places to source items from.
Hej Johanna, I have a conundrum that you might be able to help me with. For an upcoming project I'm advised to use a fine lightweight knit fusible interfacing. Thing is that I want to stay away from petroleum based products as much as humanly (and economically for me) possible. By looking around I can only find this type of interfacing made either of polyester or nylon. It's not all that unlikely that I've missed the earth friendlier ones. Do you have any suggestions as to where to look? Tack på förhand. Vänligen, Ann
This is great. Thank you. Next I am going to check out your lesson on using clear elastic.
I am very interested to see what presser foot you are using.
Oh! Could you please show us how you organize your paper patterns? I see them hanging on the wall behind you. How are you doing that?
Thanks!
It's always good to use right tools it gives your job perfection
What fusible interfacing to use for skin mesh fabric. I just subscribed. Am also a content creator in sewing niche. Am happy to be here
