    Aside from your skill as a designer and craftsperson, you are a GREAT educator. I am immensely grateful for the way you break things down like using lengths of cord to demonstrate textile weaves. Thank you again!

    Hello. Just spent hours on youtube doing research on what sewing machine to get. Just bought the Singer 4423. Im really keen on learning how to sew and have a number of projects in mind. Thank you so much for your very clear and informative videos - there is a lot in them for me to learn/use. A bit selfish, but wish me luck. All the very best and peace, happiness and prosperity.

    I've always wanted to learn to sew my own clothes. So grateful that you make these clean, simple, and fun videos to make learning easier, helps a lot for gaining confidence when approaching something I know very little about. A huge plus is how everything is shot, every video looks great! Just got my sewing machine and im excited to learn

    My sister has been sewing for quite a while, and I took on my first cosplay project earlier this year and found that I really really liked sewing when it came to that part of it! Just found your channel earlier today, and I've been binging your videos learning as much as I can! Planning on ordering that Singer 4423 in the next few days as a Christmas gift to myself. I need a new creative hobby and I think I just might have found it.
    So I just wanted to say thank you! And also I love your video style so much!

    Love the videos, they are incredibly helpful for starting out!
    Question for around 3:40 ish, I have an old sewing machine which is mostly out of metal - it seems to me that the only weak point would be the needle for when sewing multiple layers of denim/canvas... is that correct or amy I forgetting something? (The machine is an old bernina record 730)
    Edit for clarification: I'm asking in regards to the comments about stressing the machine

    Any tips on fabric substitutions? I like to thrift my fabrics and use up my stash before buying new stuff. Are there any general rules on what can be subbed for what?

    • @GloryAllan
      @GloryAllan  11 дней назад +2

      Try to stick with the same fabric type (ie wovens sub for wovens; same for knits).
      Also try to match in weight, so your prototype will sit the same as the final.
      I'll try to think of some more tips but those are the first that come to mind.
