    Omg. Thank you for breaking this down clearly. I've had people be condescending to me that I didn't learn sewing when I was young from my family, but I really want to know more. This makes me feel like I have the ability to give it a shot.

    Great tutorial, thanks! I don't like serged edges and when sewing wovens I happily enclose all my seams for a pretty interior finish. So I was looking for some notes for how to achieve a beautiful interior on knits, and this fits the bill. I'll be looking more closely at the stitches available on my machine.

    Thank you for this instructional video! It was clear and straightforward. I didn't have to fast forward through jokes and long stories to get to what I needed to know. We all know how frustrating it is to be excited to work on a project, need quick instruction, but have to wade through fluff to get the answers. Of course, I tend to be rather impatient in those moments 😅

      A serger is handy, but it's definitely not required to sew knits, or even to finish woven seams. Save those knit scraps to experiment and find what works best for you and your sewing machine!

    @maribelalgarin9750 Год назад

    New to sewing. And I ordered a lot of knit fabric instead of woven fabric. I am making book sleeves and small backpacks. Can I use the knit fabric to make these items? Or is the knit fabric better to use for clothes?

    • @SeamworkVideo
      @SeamworkVideo  Год назад +1

      Because of the stretch of a knit fabric, it isn't usually suitable for projects that require more stability, like backpacks. If you use your knits for clothes, you'll want to make sure you're using them with a pattern that is intended for knit fabric so that your finished garment will be sized correctly. You'll also want to pay attention to the stretch chart on the pattern to make sure your knit has the right amount of stretch for that pattern.

    Can you use a straight stitch if you lightly pull on the fabric from behind and from the front of the fabric as it passes under the presser foot?

    • @SeamworkVideo
      @SeamworkVideo  11 месяцев назад

      This technique will work ok for more stable knits with not much stretch, but knits with a lot of stretch will put too much stress on the straight stitch seam. I'd recommend experimenting with test fabric!

    Thank you for this video! When you trim the fabric close to the zig zag stitch, will that ensure it won’t fray? I’m new to sewing with knit fabrics and this surprised me that the raw edge is finished just by cutting??

    • @SeamworkVideo
      @SeamworkVideo  3 года назад

      Most knit fabrics don't fray (part of their magic)! The trimming just reduces some bulk.

    @3:24- can you go into more detail about how to do that hem stitch? How do you get zig zag on one side and the straight twin needle stitch on the other? Thanks you

    • @SeamworkVideo
      @SeamworkVideo  3 года назад

      That's all done with the twin needle! The bobbin thread creates a zagzag on the wrong side.
