I love love this lady! Yasss!🤣 Noooo!🤣 She explains the two way vs 4 way so understandably! I definitely will be following! And so much personality in this video love love! Thank you ♥️
Great video and you are so entertaining. I really, really want to sew my own garments but it seems so much more complicated than when I sewed decades ago. It could be my shape has shifted, even without childbirth, or maybe fabric selections have increased? I appreciate your explanations so when I shop I will know what to look for to get the best results. Thanks again.
This is exactly what I needed! I couldn't quite catch the explanation on the print from Ellie and Mac, I needed to see it! I have a problem another person mentioned here: in the online store I found here in Italy, they don't mention if the fabric is 2 or 4 way stretch... that doesn't make it easy to choose fabrics for my projects 😥
laurie kussman Yes, i hope to be able to relate to everyone. Often I feel like there isn’t enough basic information out there. Information I wish someone had shared with me early on. :-) Have a great day.
Caroline LaPlante Thank you! I know I can be a bit of a corn ball. I am so glad you are embracing my little bit of time on TH-cam! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you for your comment! When I started sewing I never knew anything about stretch, and generally thought woven was for everything. I have learned a little since then. I hope to share even the simplest of things, because I feel like there is always someone who can use it.
Thanks. I made a top awhile back and forgot to position the pattern for the stretch. I don't wear the top much. I have difficulty putting it on without the stretch.
Clovis Perkins I feel like we all have done this. It’s something you learn either by experience, or just learning more about fabrics. I’m glad you liked the video. I am trying to bring even the smallest bit of knowledge here. You never know who could use it.
I think it would be much easier if it was known as one- or two- way stretch. One way being just horizontal and two-way being horizontal AND vertical. Just makes more sense to me
Hi Im writting from Caracas … interested to know if a fabric has a lot of vertical stretch what percentage do i use for the vertical measurements … thanks
When using a fabric with more stretch in one direction, what's the best way to lay the pattern? should the extra stretch go from left to right or up and down?
my fabric kinda goes yaaaass and no??? lol the one side stretches definitely more than the other. like 75% stretch one way and 25% stretch the other way

We must speak a similar language because the "YAAAAS" and "NOOO" directions made so much more sense to me than other tutorials. Thank you!!

So glad I watched this before I try and make the dress I had planned...thank you 😇
You’re welcome 😊
I love your videos. They just make me happy.
I absolutely love your energy.
Thank you so much!!
Pretty sure I'm going to be doing the "noooo" when I do the stretch test. 😂
I promise, I do this regularly LOL> I can be very extra.
You are a hoot! Thanks for the info and the laughs!
I do NOT mind bringing a giggle to others every now and then. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the video, I was just wondering about this exact topic.
OH! Very cool...great minds think alike? I hope it helps you out!
You did it nice! But the (internet) store I buy my fabric don't say if it's a 2 way or 4 way stretch. Thank you for this lesson, 😗

Hi Im writting from Caracas … interested to know if a fabric has a lot of vertical stretch what percentage do i use for the vertical measurements … thanks
great video! super informative, Thank you!
Is it possible to use 2-way and 4-way fabric together? Or would sewing these together create some problems?
Love this lesson
Thank you..... this is just what I needed.....may have to buy some 2 way knit, but at least I know
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making me laugh. Needed it. =]
I am so glad you laughed! I feel a laugh a day is good for the soul!
When using a fabric with more stretch in one direction, what's the best way to lay the pattern? should the extra stretch go from left to right or up and down?
The greater stretch generally runs from selvage to selvage. This is the part you want to go around your body or left to right.
@@EllieandMacPatternsLLC thank you...
Bought a fabric and realized it tears creating open line as I see . Is it caused by the direction used?
Where can we buy 4 way stretch ftom
Brilliant thank you.
Gail Wrigg ABSOLUTELY! thank you for watching.
UUUUUH!!!! The skin on that woman. Mmm...! Perfect hair, perfect color, perfect teeth, and that beauty spot is like a cherry on a Sunday ice cream.
my fabric kinda goes yaaaass and no??? lol the one side stretches definitely more than the other. like 75% stretch one way and 25% stretch the other way
