I love your videos! Clear instructions and right to the point! No distracting background music or time spent watching a longggggg seam get sewn! While sewing, there have been times where both pattern pieces are cut the same, yet one is a hair longer. Putting the slightly longer fabric piece against the feed dogs helps ease the excess fabric in without any gathers. Quite some time ago i heard the phrase " baggy bottom". That has stuck with me reminding me to put the longer piece on the bottom, allowing the feed dogs to do their work. You're the perfect person to present these videos! Keep up the good work to keep us sewing!
You are truly a blessing to me. THE BEST SEWING TUTES ON YOU TUBE. Last night I cut out the shirt pattern Butterick B5997 and wondered why that "dart" was at the bottom of the sleeve and what that CONTINUOUS LAP meant. Just next to it was the "pleat". That was simple. At 2am I was still struggling to understand the DART. Today at 2pm I decided to watch your COLLAR video tute and saw your SLEEVE tute. Was I dreaming?? It was the EXACT tute I was looking for. I watched it at least 3 times. What a relief, you saved me. Now I understand why the DART was there. Thanks a million. I must watch your COLLAR tute before I begin to sew. I watched it once yesterday. If you can feel the joy in my heart... Thanks for sharing and caring. 😃😃😃👕
you are a great teacher i like the way you were very detailed about how to make button holes and how to place the buttons correctly onto the fabric thanks😄
Thank you for this video. Other videos had no verbal Instruction, or had verbal instruction, but was using white thread with white fabric and the camera was far away making it difficult to see what they were doing.
for sewing on a button, you just use the regular zig zag stitch but put the feed dogs down so the machine can't move the fabric forward so it's sewing in place but going side to side.
I don't know if you mean the height or the length but we'll go with length. So yeah, it would be whatever is the length of the bottom of the sleeve, plus seam allowance, since they need to fit together.
You need to ease the fabrics together while pinning. This means you're taking the area that needs to be pinned and you keep putting a pin in the center of that area and then dividing the next section in half and putting a pin in the center. This works out better then starting to pin at one point and just moving forward in a linear fashion. If you do the latter, you usually end up with uneven fabric at the end, hence, getting a pleat.
I have been sewing since the 1960s as a child, but here is the problem, where do they sell tracing paper? What is available is dried paper. I still have my tracing wheel. How did you make those marking? Did you use tracing paper or something else?

Can you tell me what fabric marker do you use to transfer the pattern markings to the fabric?
It's the Dritz Mark-B-Gone. I picked it up at JoAnn's
You are a LIFESAVER!!!
seanratledge I'm so glad you found our tutorial helpful :)
I did not know that the machine can zig zag on a button hole after using a button opening. Is there a certain setting for that?
for sewing on a button, you just use the regular zig zag stitch but put the feed dogs down so the machine can't move the fabric forward so it's sewing in place but going side to side.
I have to watch this video before every shirt cuff! It just won't stick in my brain.
love the tutorials its a help.
Very helpful. Thank you
Hi! I have a question ^^ how long should the cuff be? The same length as sleeve + seam allowance?
I don't know if you mean the height or the length but we'll go with length. So yeah, it would be whatever is the length of the bottom of the sleeve, plus seam allowance, since they need to fit together.
@@ProfessorPincushion thank you
What is the name of your machine ma'am.
You are awesome!
Good job , what kind machine do you use ?
in this demonstration, I'm using a husqavarna lily 530. they don't make that model anymore but the brand makes great machines.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
What fabric did you use?
Thank you
Thank u so much for the video
REALLY GREAT VIDEO....thank you
Any tips or how NOT to get any pleats at the centre?
You need to ease the fabrics together while pinning. This means you're taking the area that needs to be pinned and you keep putting a pin in the center of that area and then dividing the next section in half and putting a pin in the center. This works out better then starting to pin at one point and just moving forward in a linear fashion. If you do the latter, you usually end up with uneven fabric at the end, hence, getting a pleat.
your voice is like the reassuring voice of the steward on the airplane during turbulent weather while flying in a storm
haha! thanks for the kind words :)
Absolutely!
what weight did you use for your interfacing?
kaycee quintana I used heavy weight
Thank you! Share on Pinterest!
I have been sewing since the 1960s as a child, but here is the problem, where do they sell tracing paper? What is available is dried paper. I still have my tracing wheel. How did you make those marking? Did you use tracing paper or something else?
in my demonstration, I used a fabric marker. You can find that and tracing paper in the notions department
@@ProfessorPincushion, what is find is dry, it is like like the tracing paper of the past. It leaves no mark.
If the sleeve doesn’t fit the cuff. You could put another pleat in.
Thnx u ar the best teacher ♥ U
thanks mam
v nice 🌹🌸🌺
thanks!!!!!!!!1
Plz tell in simple method
