I am so glad I found your channel! My mother tried many times to get me to sew and I wouldn’t take the time. One of my biggest regrets. But now it’s time to make her proud. Thank you for sharing! I will be a regular.
Love your bite size basic tutorials Jan! I am impatient & want to start projects without proper prep. Inevitably I struggle & make things more difficult.(I'm working on this bad habit!) I'm definitely a visual learner, thank you for the great videos!
Thanks so much for this helpful tutorial. For Christmas I plan to gift pillows. Plan to make pillow cover for pillow form & include a ruffle around the edge. Choosing fabric to reflect the recipient’s interest or hobby. Please a tutorial on how to make this pillow cover with ruffle if you will. Thank you!!
@@JanHowell thank you!! which do you think would be best? If a zipper, very detailed instructions would be required for me to accomplish. The ability to do would be helpful!!
Do u need a skinnier presser foot to do a smaller seam allowance? Beginner and gifted a serger. They told me it was special. It came with a rolled hem foot. Yes im sure. Also came with the instruction manuals. Heard that was rare. I also bought a singer heavy duty for my daughter for cosplay so have that too. I did try the rolked hem serger foot. Looks like what i see in underware.
If you want a smaller seam allowance, you can use a 1/4 " pressor foot. But if you don't have one, just line up your fabric with the 1/4 inch line on your machine.
@@JanHowell okay thanks. Also learned I can move the needle position. I'm learning! Yeah, the rolled hem Serger foot is special. I see that seam in underware. I don't think it really even rolls it so much as just cut the fabric and encase it as small as possible.
So, when I get to the of a seam do I have to tie some kind of knot or the machine does that itself? I am VERY new to sewing. I just bought a Brother machine.

You are so welcome and I'm so excited for you to start sewing.
Very helpful. No matter how much you do something there's always something you can learn.Namaste Sweet FIB 🥰🐞😘
Great tip on using the tape. It makes following the seam allowance measurement much easier for us newbies.
Glad it was helpful!

Great idea! I'll work on it. Are you interested in a zipper closure or just a flap closure?
@@JanHowell which would work best? I would need detail instructions on zipper closure but would be helpful to learn

@@JanHowell flap please
@@JanHowell a flap closure will work fine Thank you
5/8 - inch is the standard stitch for apparel. It is the allowance used on commercial patterns.
Thanks for sharing

Your machine should have a backstitch button. Use that at the beginning and end of the seams
