The biggest tip I’ve learned is not to look at the needle when sewing but to look at the fabric about an inch in front of the needle. It always helps to keeps your lines accurate.

Thanjs... I'll save this tip in my notes. Beginner sewer here!

since I became disable my wife, a nurse, talked me into making scrub tops. I am having trouble with my seams and this video was a great explanation of the different types of seams. I will be able to create better tops for her and let her have more custom tops that what is at the local uniform shop. thank you.

Mariah was the first teacher that actually explained things in a way to where I feel confident. And im currently in clothing construction class (not going to so hot) but after this video I think I finally got the concepts

As a 61 year old man and a retired welder, fabricator, machinist, tree trimmer, I appreciate this instruction. I make manly tool bags, gnarly equipment covers, tree climbing harness modifications, clothing and upholstery repairs ect. All these subjects this young lady covers are not just a fluffy girly thing, they apply to even the rough and tumble element of manufacturing items. Today's generation sorely lacks the resourcefullness to be self sufficient and creative. Thanks !

I am a 35 year old guy myself, and I started dying textiles recently, and now that I am looking into sewing, I am wondering why I never learned this before! I am hoping to be using this on webbing and building little saddle bag type units also. The stigma that this stuff is girly, is as off as firestarting or cooking being gender specific. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your creations!

They'll notice many men in those lines of work. All the tailors I've gone to for military uniform repairs have been men.

I know you're trying to be respectful, it's just that someone has to say it. Calling the careers/interests of women as "girly" and "fluffy" is diminishing. "Girly" is often used as a derogatory term and I'd argue that's exactly how it was used in the comment above. As you mention yourself -- sewing is used in everyday objects and materials. But the distinction made between goods has been placed there by people who uphold gender roles. So, "girly" stuff is clothing (which is absurd since everyone wears clothes and anyone who wishes to learn how to sew can do so) while manufacturing is seen as "manly" which we know automatically carries more respect. Sewing is just sewing.

I learned how to sew as a kid just because I loved machines of all types and insisted my grandma teach me how to use the sewing machine. I quickly came to see sewing as just another survival skill like fixing or building stuff. I also always found sewing and welding two of the most relaxing forms of joining materials.

I have an awful habit of sewing a lot for a couple of months and then not touching my machine for another couple of months. When I need to refresh and reacquaint myself with my machine, I come to this video. Thank you both!!

Much applause for Myriah and yourself, Zoe. Nothing thrills me more than young people demonstrating their skill. Sewing is a life skill; and for you guys in the fashion design industry, it's a survival skill.

Myriah has a beautiful and elegant teaching style. I learned a lot from her!

Excellent, i love the way you explain, it’s not to slow or to fast. And most important, you don’t speak out your life in this video, like most of the people do. You talk about sewing tips .Thank you a lot for this great Tube 🌹

Will love to have her back. Thanks Zoe I enjoy all of your videos.

And a tip for the curve seam, to keep the finished seam flat, you can use pinking sheers for the seam allowance, or cut directly toward the seam, along the seam allowance (Never cut the seam itself). In the latter scenario, you will then finish and have a seam allowance full of little squares😊That's just an easier way to flatten it all out. I hope this helps, and I loved the video. I learned a lot.❤

Thank you Zoe for having Myrian teach us . Yes, would love Myrian to teach us more.

hats off to you and Myriah! She is so good at explaining everything so clearly, and I appreciate your caption inserts throughout the video to even-further clear things up. Thanks again Zoe! Also appreciate how you time-numbered each stitch in the description. :)

This video was honestly more informative and concise than my college sewing courses

I have never sewn a thing in my life, but have a background in art and home repair, and I am wondering why I never learned this before!!! Probably because I am a guy, and well, we all know about stereotypes (and how incorrect they often are). I am about to go buy some fabric and borrow my moms sewing machine! Thanks so much for the awesome video, just hit subscribe, and looking forward to learning more (after some real practice)

All the boys in our high school had to take home-economics, which included sewing and cooking. The shop teacher, Mr. ? (I can't remember his name), came in to show us how to carve a turkey. My mother was far and away more proficient than the home-ec teacher and taught us all the home-ec stuff well beyond the degree taught at school. My brothers and I are very lucky.

I’m a quilter just now learning garment making and I can appreciate accuracy in seams because with quilting it’s VERY important to cut, press, and stitch with precision.

This video is so helpful, she's an awesome teacher! love both of you:)!

Myriah is fabulous. THANK YOU!!! She needs to teach us more. I have been sewing and always found it difficult to do a corner seam. OMG I finally managed to do it effortlessly. Thank you Myriah and Zoe. ❤💙💚💛💜

Thank you so much Myriah, I’ve learnt so much from you and yes I’d really love 💕 to see more tutorials with Myriah please. Thank you so much Zoe too

I went all the way back and watch this video twice. It is always good to refresh and learn something you just might have forgotten. Thank you so much for the refresher and great pointers to remember especially how to use the foot to measure

Practice makes permanent! I really liked this video, thank you for going the extra mile to teach us! ❤❤❤

Myriah, Zoe, your students are so lucky to have you 🙏😘😍Love you both💗💗

Oh YES, MORE PLEASE! ❤ I particularly loved the curve and the corner seams. I'd also never considered sewing one side of the seam a tad in, instead of the tedious, and often dangerous cutting away that 1/4 inch for the flat felled seam. I've always done French seams purely because I f all the cutting away of the fabric, and I always managed to either cut away too much fabric, or not enough and then it showed on the outside of the seam on the garment, so I had to painstakingly cut off those tiny little pieces that showed through, all the while trying not to cut the fabric! I'm so grgrateful for your demonstration of the various ways to do these things. I'll certainly be using the flat felled seam a LOT more often now! 😊

A year ago, I started as a self employed sewing, altering clothes and I grew a passion for it. Luckily, there is a need in my neighborhood and I learned as I went. AND TODAY, I am thrilled and delighted with my discovery of this presentation of yours! You guys made my day. Myriah is such a gem, experienced in our field and first rate teacher. I like her tremendously! Thanks a million times 🙏

I did it along with her and learned so much! Please invite her often. Thank you Zoe, you're the best!

Been sewing for years and I am so glad I found your channel!! I learned so much from this video. Thank you

I love these videos and they are gonna be so helpful cause I plan on designing and “making” my own clothes, not for sale, but for myself

This helped so much Somebody else didn't explain or slow down and take the time to show you And I had to keep rewinding the video so this one was great thank you so much I definitely like to see all your videos

Love Mariah's teaching style. Would love to have her back.

She explains everything very well... best video I've seen so far for seams

Enjoyed this “basics” on seams....learned great tips. My granddaughters are beginning to sew now. Your tutorials are wonderful!

This helped so much I’m continually trying to teach myself thank you

Excellent. It’s the little details you threw in there that’s makes a big difference.

Team work makes the dream work and team work made the seams work. AWESOME SESSION! More please😉

Loved this!!! Already practicing my seams!! Would definitely love to have more of Myriah!!

Thanks so much for indexing the stitch styles to a timeline in the description. Makes referencing them so much easier! :-)

Thanks so much for this Zoe! Can't believe I just found your channel. So helpful, clear, and informative. Amazing!!

This was great! I'm late to discovering your videos but watching EVERYTHING and loving all the information! Thank you!

This video was so helpful. I've watched other sewing tutorials that say you need to use a french seem but they never explain how to do it. Myriah explains everything so simply and makes it so easy to follow. Please do more videos like this :)

A strong and proper seam (to the application) are very important. Thank you.

Has a beginner here. found this brilliant. retire next year needed a hobie love this sewing tutorial. thank you. learnt a lot in one video. thank you will keep an eye our for more.

I've been sewing for more than 30 years. This was the first I heard of edge stitch or welt stitch. Thank you! I was taught to do my falt felt seam a little different. Sew it with them even and then trim the one side down in half.

This is so much information and clearly explained. Thanks for this free lesson. A lot of details here I’d forgotten and some new stuff I never knew!

I found this extremely helpful. I like this teaching style. It's very easy to understand. The close-ups are awesome. Thank you both for creating this tutorial.

You guys are both wonderful to listen to and explain things perfectly. This video was very helpful!

I watched this video intently because I wanted to make a boucle/tweed suit (Vogue V7860). The neckline is curved and the last segment of this entire video shows how to sew a curved seam. Whew! Also, I have never sewn closed any of the edges when I made clothes. (my regrets). I didn't even know that a seam allowance was to be 1/2" wide at some places in a pattern. I am happier watching this video, thank you for the demonstration. It was so clear and precise that I learned how to do these seams.

Thank you for teaching your skill so well. Enjoyed it so much. Never too old to learn.

this was SO helpful, im making my own clothes while studying design and they're not teaching us how to finish with a polish seam. Also i knew about the french seam but never found a good video explaning it. Props to you two! i realy enjoy this channel, its incredibly educational

The corner seam has been the cleanest and simplest instruction I’ve seen this far. I’ve been stumped with my patchwork bag I’m making because I could never get the corner seem as clean as I would like it. Thanks so much!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to remember how to do a French seam.. It's been 32 years since I took home ec and no one I have close to me sews anymore. So many videos don't take the time to explain and/or use dark lighting and dark fabrics. You two are awesome! Can't wait to re-learn more! Gotta love #covid19 for making us get back to our roots. Thank you, again, ladies! 💕

loved Mariah! Thank you . Would love to have her back.

This is so helpful! Thank you! I’m just learning to sew but really don’t like overlocking, so this is great!

Very clear instructions, very helpful for an *absolute beginner* getting into sewing / garment construction. Thank you

So informative and I appreciate the breakdown in your description. Thanks!

Love her teaching style! So helpful

Love this video! It’s quick, direct, informative, and I love how you mention WHEN you might use each type of stitch as well as how you’d adjust the pattern beforehand. Subscribed!

LOVED THIS! She does have a great teaching style!!!

Yes to more sewing videos! I took prereqs for an AD&D program but cannot quit my job to do the program full time. I ended up buying a Juki 5550 (the same as my favorite machines at school), and the hardest part of self-learning has been just the tiny details that seem to get left out of books; or having to source from multiple different books the things your teacher just tells you when doing demos. I love all of your videos, they are an extreme help/reality check/motivator for me.

Awesome!. Best lessons ever. ty so much, I wish she was my sewing teacher.

I am so glad your doing this. I have come to the conclusion that I am more a pattern maker than a designer. I can draw a little and require a lot of practice after taking your class last weekend in Baltimore. 😀👏🏾again thank you for this look forward to seeing more of possible

Yes! Thank you so much for this video. It explained some things that I was having a terrible time understanding elsewhere.

Thank you for putting this together. This was so clear and concise, Myriah is a wonderful teacher. And I so appreciate the notes on the screen, and words of encouragement about it taking practice (especially for someone like me, who sometimes gets frustrated if I don't get it perfect the first few times). Although, I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the pieces for the corner and curved seams look too big before sewing, but then can be sewn without ease.

Great that you can touch the fundamentals from time to time!

Thank u zoe.. the sewing tutorial is jst awesome.. i liked th way she teach.. she made it so easy.. french seam is th tough one.. but she made it so easy to understand.. waiting for more such videos.. I havnt seen n checked ur videos fr past few months.. as i had joined a course on graphics and advertising.. it got over this june.. so now on i will be regular for ur lessons..

Thank you so much! Finally have my own sewing machine & needed all of this. ❤️
