I don't know how you do it! I'm really struggling with a hem and your video pops up! Your timing is impeccable 😊
Fantastic 😊
You have some great techniques that I am going to try on my jersey knits. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Awesome advice, thank you. This vlog is so timely, I've just started sewing with knit fabrics and in the process of making a tee with cotton jersey. Will most definitely be trying some of these techniques. ☺
Thank you so much!
Thank you ! 💕

Well this was very opportune as I’m about to hem. I’m using Art Gallery Fabrics…Botanists Poem…Pattern from Minerva and the Compositionis 95% Pima Cotton, 5% Spandex. It’s interesting as I e made this dress before but in viscose jersey and this is handling differently. It’s quite stable but rolls a lot, almost seems smaller as a garment. The dress has a flounce on the bottom so is quite wide and will not need to stretch. I hadn’t thought of sewing with a straight stitch but now I think I might. The sleeves are different as they’ll need to stretch. The sleeves will need to stretch and I wish I’d looked closer at the stretch properties as they are tighter than my other versions. Not going to change it now. Might have to see if I can stretch them a bit. They are fine but fitted . Also wondering what colour thread to use on hem thanks for doing this Jo.
Hi Jan - please let us know how you get on with your current make and if there is anything we can do to help!
We are glad you enjoyed the video and tips showcased in it!
Great video!
We are glad you liked it!
Can you tell me if when sewing a hem with an overlocker on stretch fabrics, before you finally machine it in place, does the overlocker cause the fabric to stretch? Thank you, I do love your videos.
