I have been sewing for many many years! Stayed away from stretch knits because I couldn't find information! This is extraordinary! Thank you so much,Joy!!!!

This instructor Joy is very good, provides good information and very detailed.

Thank you for helpful tips on sewing knits - stitch, needle and thread types. Also find using ballpoint needle, walking foot, tissue paper (or knit stabilising tape) helps too.

Now that we are at home more due to COVID-19, I would love to see more Simplicity videos and sew-a-longs. Maybe videos about common mistakes and issues that novice and or experienced sewist run into. Choosing the correct fabric for Simplicity patterns would be great too! I really hope sewing makes a huge comeback in 2020!

Very well presented. She spoke slow and information was great. Jeanne in Largo

I love this video! It's well done, and it is going to help me a lot. I have been sewing for over 50 years, only on woven fabrics. I am confident that I can figure out knits now, even though my sewing machine is a very basic one. Thank you for this!

I had no idea that it would be necessary to use a zigzag stitch! Thank you SO much! I've always had trouble with the seams ripping and never knew how to fix it. Great tutorial!

I would love to see someone make a capsule collection for work or for a season. Then you see things like fabric selection and various sewing skills too.

this video is such a blessing I Didn't know about the thread types of stretch and Jersey needles

A video on sewing knits using a serger would be much appreciated. This video was really helpful.

Great instructor. Explaining sewing language used, so we learn. Speaking slowly & with well chosen words. I also enjoy the demonstrating what was just said - making this easier to digest. Keep up the great instruction videos.

I just learned so much in under ten minutes. Wow! No wonder I was having trouble with knit fabric- I didn't know any of this. Thank you so much!

i didn't know simplicity had a youtube channel.

Was excited to see this in my inbox this morning!! Great video! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the information given on this video. I do use the right kind of thread but did not know that my needle needs to be blunt like using the needles that you use for jersey material. I also appreciated the fact that today I have learnt to use a zig zag stictch instead of a straight stitch after adjusting it like you have said on your video.

Great job. Clear, simple and direct. Thank you.

Wonderful tutorial!!! Very clear and simple, with a great hostess, who went right to the point; very professional. I'm a costume designer, and my 2 favorite fabrics on stage r velvet and chiffon, but I find them almost impossible to work with. Will u have some tutorial on these??????? Please!!!!! Thank u.

I'm new to sewing and your video helped me so much! I really appreciate it. Plus, your pretty face and smile make the video better. Thank you.

Ok, just put this to the test and the serger that I have worked terrific. I didn't not change out the needles to Ballpoint needles, I just used the needles I had in there. I didn't adjust my stitch or anything and it totally worked brilliantly. I am sewing a "T" shirt pull over dress with a hood and it's a one way stretch fabric. I used a scrap piece of fabric on both sewing machine and serger and I love the serger look so much better. Thank you again for your help! =;)

Great video. I would like to see a video on sewing for small dolls i.e. Barbie, 8", etc. I am an experienced sewer, but have trouble when it comes to such small sizes. Thank you.

These videos are WONDERFUL!

Thank you so much! This video has helped me so much! Have a beautiful day!

This video gave some of the most helpful information on sewing with knits. I have had problems with knits, and now I can see why. I was using the wrong type of thread and needle. No wonder my seams pulled and broke! Thank you so much for such a concise, informative lesson. Cathy

thank you so much for your sewing tip, I am making hair caps because my hair go so thin I wanted to make caps to match my outfits, thanks again,

Great presentation! Very informative, and very concise. I would have liked to watch the actual sewing a bit more, and then a close up on the finished seam, held still for the camera. But other than that, really great.

Great! I don’t sew alt but I have a lot fabric. So I need these helpful videos .

I'm a little late to the party here but what a terrificly helpful video! (And, your rings are beautiful!)

this was very helpful to me thank you Joy

Nice to know because I start my sewing project start tomorrow with knit. Thanks.

Thank you! I needed this!👍🏻

Great video. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you

Thank you! I'm just learning to sew (started about 3 months ago with masks because of Covid). I realized I really enjoyed the process, so I've done a few crafty projects, and I've been moving into clothes. I've heard that knits are very difficult to work with, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible before attempting a shirt I'd like to make (again, but with a drapier fabric). lol I'll definitely look for more of your videos. :-)

Hi and thanks a million! I’ve learned a lot! 😎🌸

This was all very helpful! I've been dropping half of my zigzag stitches and i wonder if it's because I'm using cotton thread 🤔

Thank you! Great video!

This was really helpful.

I'm very new to sewing and sometimes have difficulty with the instructions. I gave up on 1195 for this NYE because the lace attached to the bodice on view D confused me. I like the walk through videos with the different patterns. Would love to have the option of buying a video with a pattern. As a new sewer, I would pay a lot to have the ability to watch someone sew the particular pattern I'm working on.

Great video. Nice sewing machine as well. Is it for consumer purchase? A video like this for woven fabric, heavy fabric (wool, denim, leather, upholstery), and specialty fabric like sequin. Knowing the right needles, stitch width and length, techniques, etc

Great Video: Check the fabric against the pattern, polyester thread, stretch needle, stretch stitch. Clear and concise. Thanks! I was doing everything wrong :(

This is a great video!!

the speed of the video was good and the information was well presented...I do wish you had used white thread so that I could see the stitch better.

Thanks great tips.

Could you possibly always use a light fabric color and a dark thread color that way we can always always follow exactly what you're talkin about very light fabric preferably white and dark thread preferably black

Thank you sooo much i am planning to sew a hooded pullover

Very helpful. I’m learning how to sew clothes now that I’ve done some quilting and masks. My machine keeps grabbing the knit fabric into the feed dogs which is frustrating me a lot because I have to take the whole bottom plate off to release the bobbin thread down there. I ended up sewing the seams with my serger but I can’t use the serger for the waistband and hem. I’m sure it’s something in my settings… need to bust out the owners manual.

great educational video for a rookie like me! thanka

Loved this video! It was SOOO helpful! What model machine are you using?

My problem with knit, is , that it curls on the sides, then when I lay pattern on it, cut out my pattern piece, its curly, looks terrible. What can be done?

thanks so much very helpful. most clothes are knits and i didnt have a clue

Great video.Thank you Mam.

What if you only have a straight stitch machine? Would a larger stitch length work?

What a great video! Not a lot of unnecessary chatter but clear, good information, easy to follow. Awesome! Thank you so much :-)

Is a stretch stitch the same as an "elastic stitch" on my BrotherLX3817A? I have been asked to take in the side seams of about six boys' basketball jerseys and I'm a fairly new sewer, please help! I love this video, thank you !

Not everyone uses the newst,and greatest machine. So info on what setting a,zig zag stich should be would be helpful. How about a closer look at the stretch stich so we can find something close on our machines.

Hi, i enjoyed your video very much. I have a question as to how to get the knit fabrics placed out properly when i cant get it to lay down with out wrinkles, I know the selvages have to be together but then the fold isn’t smooth enough to be able to put the pattern on it and pin it.. help!

I was always taught to test for the stretch ratio by stretching the sample at least 8-10” away from the selvage, for accuracy. Is this still true today? Or do different rules apply now?

Would like to see a sewing with sequins! Thamha

thefabfive89 you have to remove the sequins from your seam allowance to sew it, it looks like a huge pain in the butt lol

Could you please show in detail how to test for stretch against the back of the packet. I'm not so clear on the EXACT amount of stretch we are looking at. How much farther past the actual packet are we stretching? Please help as I need help here.

Hi thanks for yiur helpful video. I have a question. Im a new beginner and I am trying to sew with a knit fabric but my fabric keeps getting sucked into the feed dogs. Can you explain what i may be doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help. Much appreciated

as you cut out the pattern what it the best marking tool for marking knits?

Do you have any advice for how to check stretch along the selvedge edge, when the jersey fabric doesn't have a selvedge? Thanks in advance.

When you burn polyester it makes a hard bubble whereas cotton does not as it is natural.

I have the same sewing machine! What stitches did you use on it?

What model of machine is this? Also is the table attachment thing included or does one buy it separately?

what about sewing princess seams on knit fabric . a straight stitch ? or stretch stitch

To show the stitching, use a thread of a colour different from the material

Which side of the fabric does it curl toward? The right side or wrong side?

advice for a capsule wardrobe would be helpful (as below!)
