I had a few pairs of jeans that I wanted hemmed and tapered. I went to a tailor and he quoted me a whopping 122 dollars for each pair of jeans. I was frustrated and declined the offer. I came home, found your video for tapering and hemming in 5 minutes. I ordered a sewing machine from Amazon for 129 bucks. I have now tailored all of my jeans and the sewing machine has already paid for itself 3 times over! Thank you Stylish D for saving my life man for real!
That is amazing!! I love seeing comments like these!
Had a tailor recently adjust a sweater for me. When he brought it back with a straight stitch, I had him rip it and replace it with a Zigg Zagg. Mobility was much improved.
He was certainly surprised 😊
Your channel is awesome, you’re hard work will pay off
Thank you for the kind words I appreciate it!
SD, being the thorough genius he is, has probably covered this feature of the zig-zag stitch in other videos, but just to mention-- on stretchy fabric, straight stitch is your enemy. Try it. Take an old stretchy t-shirt, sweater, bathing suit, etc, and make a line of normal straight stitches. Now pull on the fabric to stretch it, and watch those straight stitches pop. Try it again with a zig zag stitch, and it will be fine, the stitches will stay intact. You know those really old wonderful vintage sewing machines from the 1950's (like my Singer 15-91)?-- notice they almost always have only straight stitch? That's because most clothing, other than sweaters, was woven fabric, people didn't wear stretchy knit fabrics prior to the 1960's, even more so in the 1970's, and now, most of the every day clothing worn by the average consumer is made from knit fabrics. So now, unless it's a high-speed industrial machine (like by Singer Studio-16), it's hard to find a domestic general purpose machines (like my Janome HD5000 or my Husqvarna Eden Rose C250) without zig-zag stitch.
Oh, and if sewing on stretchy material and using a zigzag stitch, you're life will be 1000 times easier if you use a ballpoint needle.
This comment is gold!! Thanks for sharing for everyone!
@@StylishDTailors My comment is only because your videos are gold!:-)
Bravo, j aime beaucoup vos videos, j'apprend plein de choses que je ne connaissais pas... SUPER MERCI "Hello from Marseille" France
Yeah I love Zig Zag Stitches, especially when making stretchy garments. Super useful when attaching elastic or sewing really stretchy material too because the stitch has a lot of give. Probably a better option than the 2.5mm straight stitch on some really stretchy fabrics if you've got a workout shirt that needs to be taken in or something with 4 way stretch.
Zigzagging the seam to stop fraying is also WAY easier when you have a presser foot with a fence, so you just push your material against the fence and it keeps the stitch right along the edge. (Not sure what they are technically called, your machine may already come with one like mine did) It does mean you have to make your cuts even, but with a finished garment like this it's pretty easy.
Great video!
I can never seem to master this stitch on the edge of fabrics. Pinking shears it is!
Yeah, it can be a bit tough. There may be a foot that came with your machine or is available to buy which is an overedge foot. That can be very helpful. SD is able to make it work on the absolute edge of the fabric, but I can't, I do that seam-finishing zig-zag stitch just a bit in from the edge. Or I do an overcast stitch with that overedge foot. Also, if it's a thin fabric, it's hard to do zig-zag on just one layer, such as the seam allowance after you've stitched and pressed open your seam. Of the two machines I have that can zig-zag, one is a higher end Husqvarna Viking, and even that doesn't do well with a single layer of thin cloth. So, to echo you, pinking shears it is!:-)
I love your channel. Thank you for all these videos. I'm a skinny guy. And even slim fit shirts are often not slim enough. And anything that's not labeled as slim looks like I'm wearing a sail.
You’re welcome, glad you like them! And you’re right I also know the feeling of wearing a sail for a shirt lol
The zig zag stitch is the one that should be used, or HAS to be used when one of the kids has taken your pinking shears to make crinkle cut sliced turkey! (Ask me how I know.)
D - Keep doing what you do 👍‼️
😂😂😂😂
Not the turkey 😂
You know……this might be fun for the Godkids 🤔
I’ll have you know I’m at my daughters dance practice and I started laughing out loud when I read crinkle cut turkey!!
@@StylishDTailors 😎👍‼️
I’ll be there for the next video, for sure S.D. ✌🏾deuces
Thank you
I feel like I’ve mastered the art of tailoring my clothes based on everything I’ve learned exclusively from your channel. So thank you sincerely
That being said, now I’ve graduated to trying to make my own clothes from scratch. And my skills are not pretty right now.
So given that I always look to your videos to find an answer to whatever my current issue is, I thought I might offer a suggestion for a video you could do, if it’s something you’re interested in doing.
If not, no biggie.
But right now I’m trying to make my own tailored suit from scratch.
And I’m trying to figure out how to line the inside of a blazer without the seams and thread showing on the other side of the jacket. Given that the lining is inside the jacket, that would put tons of stitching showing on the outside that everyone sees
From scratch?! That's impressive, how did it turn out???
@@StylishDTailors the blazer from scratch turned out to be a disaster. So I decided to learn how to make each article of clothing from scratch one by one. And not move on to a different one until I have mastered the first one. I started with pants. The first 4 pair I made were a disaster. But each pair taught me what NOT to do, and what order to do the steps in. The zipper is the most difficult step. The back, double welt pockets are a close second. But the first pair I attempted probably took me three weeks to get through. Now i can knock out a pair of pants from scratch in a day and actually be able to wear them in public without them looking ridiculous. So now im on shirts. The collar is making my brain hurt. But anyway, I’ll eventually work myself back to the blazer. Kind of a crawl before you walk strategy
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and I'm grinding through your videos and just wanted to say you inspired me on my goal for self care. Thanks again my dude!
That is awesome!
Is this the same concept behind pinking shears?
Yes, I believe he mentioned this as an alternative to purchasing pinking shears in another video.
@@TekedixXx Thanks! All these decades, it never occurred to me that a zig zag stitch would have this purpose.
No. It's cheap alternative to overlock machine so fabric don't fray
Stylish D, Please -- how about a tutorial on changing a tucked in buttoned shirt with Saddle bottom to an untucked shirt with Square bottom. How to handle buttons? best place to cut? 2" below belt?
Great tips you have sir
Question. Can you give me suggestions on a sewing machine to get for the tips you give on sewing?
Any basic machine from a big box store will suffice!
You talk too much
