MUSIC USED:
I always enjoy your “technique” videos, so nice to have to refer to. I am an experienced sewist, but there is always more to learn.
Agreed!❤
I'm so addicted to your tutorials - totally ruined other sewing tutorials for me. So brilliant and engaging..and happy 😃😃
Glad you like them!
I learn so much from your videos! Every time I see you hand baste and explain that it's not really a lot of extra work and helps in the long run, I think to myself, I'll just use pins. The other night I was pinning the neck binding to a rayon rib knit and realized how many pins I'd used and still wasn't confident that I'd catch the underside of the binding when I sewed the neckline. I thought to myself, what would Karina do? Hand baste! So I did! And that one extra step actually saved me a lot of time. I didn't have to rip anything out at all and I didn't have that little worrying feeling while sewing it. So all of your repetition is actually working--for me at least!! Thank you! Just thought you'd like to know. 😁
You are the queen of binding and I often refer to your videos . They have often got me out of a jam .
Thanks for all your content but especially for techniques to use with knit fabric. Been sewing for “many” years and I still learn so much.
You're very welcome :)
I agree that hand basting is an essential step to ensure a good result. As my mother used to say - if you rush through at the start, you'll spend more time fixing your mistakes at the end. Thank you for another well presented video tutorial.
Thank you Karina for your precious videos. You have showed me so many tricks through my sewing journey! I can now say that i am confident but still love to watch your videos 😀
Brilliant Karina. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I imagine if I want to replace a neck band with a bound neck binding such as this, I would need to add about 1/2 inch to the neckline to make up for the band width.
Even though this is about knit-wide binding, it’s fun to see your beautiful tops again❤ okay, back to tech talk.
Oh thank you!
The dress and the top version looks unique and beautiful by itself...lovely makes and suits you so well Karina 🎉
Thank you so much!
Excellent tutorial.
I can’t wait to try this technique. Love the final result.
Have fun! it looks great!
Karina, this is an excellent techniques tutorial. These videos are very useful and ones I often refer to. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I see where this is going 😉 looking forward to the PE release on 14th April. Thank you for all your amazing content.
he he... coming soon!
Such an excellent tutorial! Love to learn from you, thank you very much 🧡
Such a wonderful tutorial thankyou 😊😊😊
Love your clear instructions! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
I love your technique videos. They are so helpful
Glad you like them!
I just love your videos. Thank you
You are so welcome!
This is another excellent technique video! I love how this binding looks like. Many thanks!
Terrific video! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely perfect thank you .❤❤❤
Glad you like it!
Wonderful tutorial as always! Can't wait to see the upcoming pattern that you're going to utilize this binding in!! Keeping us on "pins and needles", lol!
lol yep :)
I really needed this video, to sew my Time Out Tank - using my jersey twin needle on my sewing machine. Because all the tutorials show using a cover stitch machine which is no help to me, and I was a bit nervous. Thank you Katrina!
Glad it was helpful! I have no plans on having a coverstitch any time soon :)
Fantastic video Karina, Many thanks
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your extra effort to make this. I have saved this so I can refer back to this when I decide I want to use this technique.
Thanks so much for this video! I will try a wide binding on my next garment.
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Looks really good. I want to try it.
Thanks so much for this video! How wide is the neck band please? It looked about 2 to 2 1/2 inches.
Im not comfortable sharing that because it’s part of a pattern. You can figure it out though by wrapping binding around the seam allowance so that it covers the seam.
Great tutorial and I know I’ll be using it. Hand basting is sometimes necessary and I don’t mind it at all. I do have a seam guide that does hold fabric together and works as a hem guide. Magnets are also great to keep fabric in place and in making patterns.
brilliant 🙂
Karina, what is the advantage of overlocking the raw edge of this knit. Would you always overlock a raw edge, even in a non-fraying fabric?
I'm asking because I'm trying to understand whether I *can* leave my knits a bit unfinished, and how this will affect seams and looks. Thank you and ❤❤❤ this channel 😊
You “can” leave them unfinished. Exceptions: stretch velvet and sweater knits. They do actually unravel. All the rest won’t buy it will look messy inside.
Great ‘technique’ video 😊
Thank you dear . Yr projects are all so neatly sewn . I am still trying to reach this level ! 😮
May I ask you if you have a drop shoulder sleeve shirt, would it be difficult to adjust the sleeves and shoulder seams to obtain a normal shirt without drop sleeves?
It would take a lot of adjustments. The shoulder angle and much much more. I wouldn’t do it and instead look for what I want specifically.
💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing! I have three shirts laying around that need a binding. I will give this a try for sure! Do you have any advices for binding a slit neckline on a knit top? I have tried the method used for slit necklines with woven fabrics but the results didn't work out at all. It looked awful
I'm not exactly sure what you mean with a slit on the neckline? on the center? I have made a little facing in the past for that detail on wovens and knits. Generally, woven techniques don't translate well to knit.
Thank you for your quick response! I havea shirt with a round neckline and a vertical about 4-5cm long vertical slit going down the middle. I tried several neckband versions but it either becomes too thick or opens too much (like a v neckline). I think I will try it with a facing and if this doesn't work I cut it to a round or V-neckline and sew it just like in your video here. I have tried it with another shirt. It works great! Thank you again!@@LiftingPinsandNeedles
Question on using this technique with other patterns. If using a pattern with another width of neck binding on the pattern, do you need to trim away some of the n3ckl8nr. Ie: if the pattern calls for using a 1/4 inch and this is 3/4 inch, do you trim 1/2 inch off?
I would not trim the pattern. I’d just make the binding 3times the width of the seam allowance
Great vlog as always, the binding looked great. How wide did you cut the binding to start. 👍
I am not comfortable sharing dimensions because it's part of the pattern.
Karina, I got the 90%…but, what is the band width? 1 1/4 2. .?
I’m not comfortable sharing measurements of pattern pieces from patterns that are for sale. As a hint, I’d say multiple the seam allowance you want to use by 3 and add 1/4”.
How wide did you cut the binding?
I’m not comfortable sharing dimensions of pattern pieces from patterns. You can your own cutting it roughly 3.5x the seam allowance you want to use.
Thank you so much. I love your videos.
If this technique is used what width is the binding? 2½"?
I'll have to give it a try on a tee I've just cut out. I usually use 85%-80% depending on stretch of the fabric. I rarely use the pattern piece for the neckline or armband if it's supplied in the pattern.
I'm not comfortable sharing that because it’s part of a pattern. You can figure it out though by wrapping binding around the 3/4" seam allowance so that it covers the seam.
Do let us know how your tee turns out and the band width you use. 👚
My guess is 2 inches. (3/4 + 3/4 = 1 1/2 + some extra to cover the seam line.)
@@Torontogal777 2” is not wide enough. Think the seam allowance x 3 plus a bit more.
@@Torontogal777 ...¾ seam allowance +¾ front +⅝-1" on the back=2½" I'm guessing. Lost my sewjo this week. Haven't tried it yet.
