Ay man, I'm really digging your content. Your enthusiasm for your pieces really show. Also I'm excited to see how fast you can grow, you're already making great content and your still learning, prosper brother
Ah man thank you so much that means everything to me! 🙏🏽 I really love this stuff a lot and I always have fun making these videos and seeing how they come out. Much love and hope to see you around on the new videos to come 🤧💪🏽 Bless up!
Please correct me if I'm totally wrong, but in my understanding a "straight stitch" is a type of lock stitch. This is the stitch that home sewing machines but also an industrial straight stitch machines will produce. The second example seams to be a lockstitch with a thicker thread, shorter stitch length and an uneven thread tension.
I do believe they are quite similar, however from what I understand, with specialized lockstitch industrial machines, they will essentially lock a piece of fabric in place with a specific pattern and weave, while the straight stitch just brings the two pieces together. I had a diagram that showed the difference that was supposed to be in this video but I ended up losing it and couldn’t find it. Please do correct me if I’M wrong, as I’m always happy to learn and be corrected if need be. I do believe they are different however.
You're both right and wrong. Yes, straight stitch is a type of lock stitch but is meant for simple sewing two pieces together. When you speak of lock stitch vs straight you could talking about a piecing vs a straight stitch? A piecing stitch is just a tighter striaght stitch that is usually used on hems that endure less stress. Regarding the stretching you could be talking about a zig zag or stretch or overlock stich. You're on the money about fast fashion hemming EVERYTHING with a straight stitch. I HATE IT.
@@AlejandroJomar Just to straighten this out for going forward, they are in fact the same. Any stitch that uses an upper thread and bobbin thread fall under the 300 class lockstitch. straight stitch, zig zag, blind stitch etc. are all lockstitches. The type 301 lockstitch is the common straight stitch which yes is also called the lockstitch, especially in the context of industrial machines which can be confusing. The "lockstitch" shown in the video appears to be a type 301 lockstitch with two separate spools of thread used simultaneously for the upper thread, with the bobbin of course using one thread. This gives the top of the stitch the thicker look with two strands next to each other, and the single row on the underside. The "straight stitch" shown is also the type 301 lockstitch without two threads for the upper thread. Neither are ideal for stretch denim especially if you use improper thread type, stitch length and tension which is the case in the third example you used. For 100% cotton denim they are fine, but wont give the roping effect on the hem that a chainstitch does. Hope that makes sense. Also a "piecing stitch" is not a thing. piecing is just the term for sewing two layers of fabric together I think quilters typically use the word.

Thanks for the education brother!
Problem is..here in Toronto and surrounding area, I’m finding it very difficult to find a tailor who has the chainstitch machine or capabilities
Thank you
Nice 👌🏼 video @Alejandro
