Thank you for your sewing tutorials. Thank you for putting so much care into creating high-quality and straight to the point videos. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to more content
Great videos. What machines do you recommend for outdoor gear sewing projects? I have a Singer Heavy Duty, but find it lacking a bit for the projects I want to do. I've been looking at a Juki DDL 8700. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
I just want to know if it is a normal double sided tape or is it something specific to fabric. I am new to sewing and I have tried to use double sided tape and it works great. However, I find I'm getting tape glue build up on my needle which is causing a few problem.
Defintely. But I mainly do gear, not clothing. The only reason I would do less then 3/8" is when I want less bulk in the seam, which is a very rare use case for my projects.
On your video about bottom tension in The machine. Mine is too. I hold the bobbin it falls fast. But I only have one screw. Help? I have a singer simple 2263
The seam tape will work, yep. It uses a bit wider tape versus folding both flaps over in one direction, but it gives you a nicer finished look and keeps the seam flaps from sticking out into the inside of the un-lined bag.
Pinkkandi75 depends on the design. Easiest option is to sew and bind. Other options is to use a lining and do a bucket style. Some people like to do French seams. Others like to serge it. It all depends on the design and the production tools at hand.
Me: (in existential crisis about why I started to sew in the first place) I wonder if Stephen has a YT vid about this. Stephen: Hold the top thread down before you start your seam Me: .... Me: ............. Me: S^&*! Thanks man, you're the best!! I got some great seams going now.

Hi! can you make a video about sleeve cuffs or pant hems on machines that do not have a free-arm? Thank you.
I've used Iron on fusing instead of tape. Is there a benefit of one over the other?

Hi, can You Tell me why when i sew faux leather the bottom one is not even with the top one in the end?
This means your feed dog and foot are feeding at different rates. The fix depends on the type of machine you are using.
Do you always do a 3/8" seam allowance instead of 1/4" ?
Defintely. But I mainly do gear, not clothing. The only reason I would do less then 3/8" is when I want less bulk in the seam, which is a very rare use case for my projects.

Great video! Will waterproof seam tape do the same work?
The seam tape will work, yep. It uses a bit wider tape versus folding both flaps over in one direction, but it gives you a nicer finished look and keeps the seam flaps from sticking out into the inside of the un-lined bag.
Hi Steve, what sort of seam finish would you recommend on a canvas wax tote bag? Thanks Candace
Unfortunately this is highly dependent on so many factors!
The seams would be exposed.
@@Pinkkandi75 Side seams?
Yes, inner side seams
