I love how you go into every little detail! Some sewers assume us beginners know all of the little “obvious” things and only provide minimal instruction. Love your videos! 💕
Absolutely brilliant, I have watched a couple of videos but as a complete amateur your explanations were by far the best. The tips you made about cutting in to both hems that of the interface side and the actual garment too made a big difference, as it’s scary snipping for the first time into the v! plus the pressing of the seams the correct way really helped! Thank you
Brilliant tutorial as usual. I saw this after I had made a v neck top. Was not happy with neckline. So will make it again using your brilliant tutorial
A lot to take in for me, but it's all excellent information that's very well presented. I'll be sure to watch this a few times more, at least, before I sew my first neckline. Thank-you. 🙂
Thank you Aneka, your videos are so clear and helpful. I watch many sewing vloggers and whilst I enjoy them all, I find that most show their makes but don't show us how they made them. I'm still quite new to all this so appreciate your tutorials. I would love to see a tutorial on grading between sizes on a pattern. Thanks.
Hi Sammy, thank you for your lovely words. I am really pleased that you enjoy my tutorials and have found that you have learned something. Thank you! I do have a tutorial on grading between sizes on a pattern: ruclips.net/video/MAlNjEWx9YU/видео.html and this one: ruclips.net/video/znuHQimDYGw/видео.html - I hope they help you? Aneka x
Thank you for another informative tutorial. Whilst I prefer hand stitching some of the time, I particularly liked your technique of tacking down the neck facing to the shoulder seams by machine. A helpful and time-saving tip.
Thank you for the clear instructions. I needed refreshing on this procedure and have lost the instruction sheet for my nightshirt pattern. Now I feel confident in winging it.
Thank you. I haven't stopped, I am trying to get back into a schedule. And plan to launch some new online classes on my website, I need to get into a rhyme were I can hire someone to help me film and edit so I can produce more content. 💖
Thank you so much for this valuable information and taking the time to educate! I am a beginner and the learn to sew pattern I have talks about this but leaves a bit to be desired! Nice precise and clear instructions!
Ha Ha! Yes the foot is very good! However you can purchase them for other Bernina sewing machines and other sewing machine models too! The dual feed does make it amazing but again I think this is now available on cheaper Bernina models too! Hope this helps! Aneka x
So kind of you to say. It is something I plan to launch, I had hoped this month, but it might be the new year now. Sign up to the newsletter on my website (www.madetosew.com) (bottom of the page), and it will tell you when everything launches. Aneka x
Hi aneka, I hope that u can show us how to sew the neckline with bias tape in ur tutorial.. the facing has too much step and it is really a time consuming.. cannot wait to watch the next video!
Asnah Eyna yes I do plan to show how to attach bias binding to a neckline too. So don’t worry. I will show a couple of different methods. However I do personally think the facing is quicker and easier than bias binding for me students! See what you think! Aneka x
I have not tried this yet but will be tomorrow. The way you did this here makes a very professional look and I truly appreciate you and your tutorial videos. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I am trying to finish a dress but my neck line on the backside seems to be too much. I have lined up the shoulders and the V neck but the back has about an inch too much. What did I do wrong and how can I fix this?
Hi Tonya, oh no! Do you mean the Facing is too small for the neckline? Did you stay stitch or use stay-tape on your garment neckline? Otherwise has the garment stretched and the facing hasn't because you interfaced the facing? Feel free to send me a photo? info@madetosew.com I would also compare the original pattern pieces, check that the facing fits the garment pattern, then you know if it is your fault during the sewing process of a faulty pattern. Aneka x
Aneka, thank you for the tutorial. Really helpful. What kind of iron do you have? I changed a few irons but still not happy with my current one. What your recommendations would be for buying a good quality iron? Thank you.
Alyona Pavlyk Hi there! I have a steam iron, the brand is a Swiss company called LauraStar. I originally had one of their ironing systems (I was given this used as a gift, as they are expensive). I LOVED this ironing system, the iron was never too hot for fabric (it had a special plate for delicate fabrics) and the steam was amazing. Never any problems with it and my customers that used it in my in-person classes raved about it! With these systems the iron is attached to the ironing board, which makes it difficult to transport. The ironing board had functions such as a vacuum to suck the steam down or blow the board up with air. I actually found this frustrating that we couldn’t turn these functions off (when you press a tiny bit of fabric and the board blows up with air, your fabric is flown into the air!) But small price to pay for an incredible iron. However I now teach in different locations so needed a more portable version. I saved up for one of their Steam Generators, as this is a portable iron without ironing board and is what you will see in my newer videos. This iron is wonderful, steam is beautiful just like the big ironing system. Again I have never burnt or damaged any fabrics with this iron (unlike my husband’s Bosch Steam Iron that burnt my wedding dress fabric!). However I am currently have problems with the new Steam Generator pushing out water when you first use it. I am in contact with the company and they have assured me that this shouldn’t happen. So I will be getting them to look into it, to see if I have a problem model. The Steam Generator auto turns off which then makes this problem worse, pushing out water at the star every time you use it. So at present I wouldn’t be recommend it, hopefully mine is problematic and actually this isn’t standard. Sorry for the super long message, just wanted to give you an honest opinion! Aneka x
Yes you can use this technique for jersey fabric but personally I would only use it for a more stable jersey such as ponteroma or a double knit jersey. In a lighter weight jersey you could use it but I would probably use a different technique with a binding instead. I hope that helps?
@@abrarmoriya7774 I can plan a video on it. If you want an explanation now. If you have an existing pattern you would need to firstly straighten the leg; both inner and outer leg seams. Then if you want more volume you can add a pleat, add a slash line from the base (hem) to about 2.5cm (1") below the crotch line and insert paper to create a wider leg.
I love how you go into every little detail! Some sewers assume us beginners know all of the little “obvious” things and only provide minimal instruction. Love your videos! 💕
Thanks so much Rachel. x

What type of stitch did you use on the sewing machine when you were hekming the interfacing?
This is just a straight stitch I turned it over.
