People send you angry comments/emails? What on Earth for? It shouldn't need to be said to them, but apparently it does. You don't force them to watch your offerings, you don't sit next to them at their machine and tell them what they must do. You're just (very kindly, and taking some time and effort) showing us what you do and you often remind us to do whatever works for us when we sew because when we are in charge of our own sewing. We can take or leave any tips you have as we like. We can even, has it occurred to them, watch something else if we don't like this. As for me, I love your videos and I'm always learning new little tips and techniques. For which I heartily thank you. :-)
I truly appreciate the time and effort-not to mention- the tried and true sewing tips, tricks and tutes' that Marie shares with us. I'm really encouraged when I sew now because I'm trying the tips she shares including understitching. My projects look so much better; including understitching for keeping my facings neatly in check without rolling to the front of my garment. Old school works for me. I'm so glad we have choices!!😊
@@arlenewyatte5066 Hear, hear! I couldn't agree with you more. She's a generous soul who teaches very well, and encourages us all the time but without being 'preachy', and I love her to bits. (I even love the way she talks to things like her pins and the fabric etc 'Come on' if they're being a bit tricky, like she is coaxing and reassuring them that 'they can do it'.)
I have only been sewing garments for about 2 years now - all of your tips and teaching has helped me so much!!! Understitching and ironing has been a game changer for me. Thank you!
I never understitched when I first started sewing. Never realized how much of a difference it makes. I was self taught at sewing and this was in my early 20's. I started quilting and did that for years. Started about 3 years ago trying to make clothes again. I watched a lot of videos and I can now say I'm converted to YES to understitching. It looks and behaves a lot better.
I for one appreciate any sewing technique suggestions. Your videos are my go to when I come across something I haven’t done before. I’m so grateful for you taking time to teach us. Just know there are many that appreciate your skills.
What a fun pair of pants! I could easily see those a couple of different ways...if you used a soft knit, they could be a cozy lounge pant & I could see making them a little dressier (but still comfy) by using something like linen. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see what great project you bring us next. People can be so rude... I'm a true believer in "you do you"!!! If you don't want to "do", than don't. Sewing, like with quilting (which I do a lot of), there are SEW many ways of doing things. Just BC you share a technique doesn't mean that the person HAS to do it. But, I find it disappointing that people find the need to criticize & be rude. If you don't understand the how or why of a technique, then ask...NICELY! I believe... If you don't have something NICE to say... Say NOTHING at all. Life's too short for people to nit pick & critize just BC they don't agree... Sad...IMHO. Personally, i think you do a great job, Marie & I appreciate your sharing different ways of doing things & keeping the 'oopsies' in. It keeps it real & I for one, APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO!!! Thank you!!!
Those are going to be some colorful pants! Surely you will be able to find a top to go with them. Endless variety of them?🤭 Some people will complain that water isn’t wet enough.🙄 Don’t let haters get you down. 😊 I like your serger use & understitching methods. Only vaguely familiar with either one, but want to give them a try to see what I think. Very helpful information.
One of your seam allowances disobeyed…I love that! I’ll be using that line - probably in my next project 😉 Super cute comfy pants - thanks for the tutorial!
Hi, Marie! I haven’t commented in a while but just had to here. This is an awesome pattern and I love them. I’ve made them several times as my weight fluctuated😂. I, too, understitch all pockets and anything else I want to understitch. I also add astray tape to the pocket opening to avoid stretching. Sewing is fun and techniques are personal! I always laugh when you say, “you do you” but my looks at me sideways when I say it. I’m a few years older than you are (68+) and I always “do me” when sewing! I’m sorry you’ve received nasty comments about techniques you choose to apply when sewing. But many of us aged garment makers learned techniques that endure the life of the garment and understitching is one of them! I look forward to your videos every week and I learned to save thread using your serging method and I love it! Your fabric is gorgeous and the fit is great too. Time to pull out this pattern again. Did I mention I love this pattern so much that I have about five copies?? I know😂😂😂. Thanks for another great video😊😊😊
I have been watching your videos since you started and avidly look forward to your next instalment - it’s much appreciated. They are informative and I like when you go off piste and ‘do you’ often showing us something that is not included in the instructions such as, a FBA or how to lower the bust points. I am new to sewing and have learnt a lot from you (visually). Quite frankly, it’s beyond me why anyone should care that you understitch, except if seeking clarification. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Marlene from London, Uk 😊
I understitch because not doing it gives my makes the appearance of having been made by a day-one novice. Thanks, Marie, for validating my preferred technique.
They're delightful! 😊 Such a pretty print 😍 As for understitching, it's definitely worth doing, whether the instructions say to or not. I can't believe anyone would object to it. As they say in the north of England, "There's nought so queer as folks!" 😂
Dear Marie, i love your 1980's overlocker. I still have and use the identical model, but in 3 thread. Its been a faithful old friend for over 30 years. She is a pain to re-thread though. My sewing machine tech is not happy if you knot your new colour and run through the tension wheels on our old ladies. But, wow, such great machines! So lovely to see you still use yours. Your tip on going just over a corner and then turning your fabric has been so helpful. Thank you. Xxxxx
I some kind of love understitching and pressing in sewing garments, like i love overcasting in soft sculpture, it maybe is not always totally necessary but it makes the final product look more professional and since it is our all beloved hobby (i think) every stitch is just more time i can spend with it. 🤷🏻♀️ Your channel is great by the way! 🫶🏻
Yes to understitching, see how beautiful it looks. I personally am not a fan of top stitching so understitching is the way to go especially on neck facings.
Love those pants. Last year for summer I made two of them (not the same pattern though) and paired them with the Ogden camis. Super comfy and stylish. Enjoy them. 😊
I do alot of under stitching tooo ..being chemical sensitive , I can't do alot of ironing....what is there problem...watching from Australia..love your channel...love the material
Hi Marie! Comfy pants! Have you seen the pattern called Magic Pants? Ann Tilley is the designer. I saw her tutorial and ordered the pattern. You might like them.
O, those are cute pants.❤ Thank you for sharing. Keep on "doing you." ❤ I, for one, am learning a lot from you! Question... when you prewash and dry your fabrics, do you also iron it? Your fabrics always look so nice as you place the pattern pieces on it.
It depends... If it is really wrinkled then yes I do just so I can cut things out well. But if it isn't, a lot of times I just smooth it out with my hands because I don't want to have to (in general) iron the finished garment whenever I wash it. So I prefer to use it in it's natural state. I honestly don't know if it makes a difference, but it is just my habit. :)
Cute Marie! tell me how to keep elastic from rolling and twisting when taking them on and off? Even sewing the elastic at the side seams hasn't worked.
I think that making that little edge stitch at the top helps define the top edge and helps, in addition to securing at the sides, sometimes the elastic is just wimpy too.
Gorgeous fabric choice, Marie. I'm always hesitant to trim seams in case they fray in the wash. Do you find that happens? You suggest it a lot and I just wondered if you've ever had a problem with it. Thanks.
I love understitching! I’m confused. Why did you serge the waistband when it was cut on the selvedge? I can only think that maybe it holds the seams together, or just for the tidy look? Not criticizing!
People send you angry comments/emails? What on Earth for? It shouldn't need to be said to them, but apparently it does.

I love the fabric and the pocket finish detailing with the under stitching leaves a professional looking garment.
I love your sew along tutorials.

I was taught to understitch when I was a kid taking sewing class I’m 71 now still doing this, it’s old school!

You really are a wonderful teacher! Watching the green flannel shirt make. French seams!🎉
Love watching you. It's like sewing with a good friend

You have inspired me to make a pair of pants! Thank you, you are a great teacher ❤
Those pants look so comfortable. And! I love the white horse in the background.❤️
There is a horse behind you 😊 how blessed. Love the pants ❤❤

As a northern lass myself I agree 😂
I think I'll cross stitch that saying onto a sampler! Thanks Mara
Love the fabric and the fact that they're nice and flowy and oh so comfortable
Thank you, Marie! Sweet!
Love these pants!!!! Great job and thank you for doing this pattern.
Oh I love that flowery fabric❤
Oh, I love it. Thank you for sharing!

Cute pants! Love the fabric! Thanks to you I understich more, I use stitch witchery and basting tape more and your surging methods!!!! Thank you!!
Beautiful pants
Love the fabric in your pants. So fun!
I some kind of love understitching and pressing in sewing garments, like i love overcasting in soft sculpture, it maybe is not always totally necessary but it makes the final product look more professional and since it is our all beloved hobby (i think) every stitch is just more time i can spend with it. 🤷🏻♀️ Your channel is great by the way! 🫶🏻
I have the perfect fabric for a pair of those! They are adorable and you look great in them too

Beautiful, such fun fabric 😊

It seems Very Nice and comfy
I made a pants 3 days ago vintage pattern wide leg.love them.soo comfortable...love yours😂❤❤

Hi Marie! Comfy pants! Have you seen the pattern called Magic Pants? Ann Tilley is the designer. I saw her tutorial and ordered the pattern. You might like them.
I have not but just the name makes me smile. "Not today problems! I'm wearing my Magic Pants!"

I have had some issues with fraying in the past, which is why I basically serge the edges or pink just about everything that is woven.
Where did you get that fabric? fabulous!!!
Joann sale cottons a while back. I love colors :)
Where did you get that floral fabric? I love it!
Joann sale cottons :)
I know you clip your notches, but don't you lose them when you serging?
I keep my pattern pieces handy in case they hide. In general if I know the approximate area to look I can find them :)
I love understitching! I’m confused. Why did you serge the waistband when it was cut on the selvedge? I can only think that maybe it holds the seams together, or just for the tidy look? Not criticizing!
One edge was raw, so it held the two Layers together and secured that raw cut edge 😊
You’re a great teacher love your videos and I learn a lot. Please keep them coming
Once I learned how to understitch, I never went back.😅
Hi Marie, what pattern are you wearing. It looks really nice.
I'm sorry, which one the green top?
I made those pants, but the pattern number was 5893 and they had a shorts option
People are such idiots for leaving you nasty comments, they're just intimidated that you're an exceptional seamstress, and they're average😂
