How to Stabilize the Back Neck and Shoulder Seams of a T Shirt like Ready-to-Wear
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
Sewing your own t shirts is probably one of the most rewarding sewing projects ever. You can sew several in a day because they’re just so quick to sew up and you’ll likely get tons of wear out of them. But with wear comes stretched out, wonky seams in those high wear areas like the neck and shoulder seams. That’s why in many ready to wear t shirts, you’ll see a strip of fabric sewn over the sea...

    I'm sewing a Handkerchief with tow different fabrics Both 100% cotton. One fabric with a design, on one side and Flannel on the other side. should I use "Feather weight interfacing" ( non woven) in-between the fabrics ? Will the interfacing keep the fabrics from shifting away from each other after the Handkerchief is washed or do I need to run stitching across the fabric to keep them together ? Thank you.

  • @tomobedlam297
    @tomobedlam297 7 месяцев назад

    Great advice thanks! Yes, I'm big on using new needles now! My last skipped stitch issue, however, was caused by years of gunk built up in the hook race on my vintage Elna Supermatic. The bobbin case needs room to jiggle a little to work properly and the gunk was preventing this. After giving it a thorough clean it now works like new again, making perfect fashion cam stitches even at full speed!
