I appreciate that!

Limitless sewing options! Hurray for Karina! I love to sew with knits of all types & this video has just raised my game. So many hints and tips that are really useful and gives us confidence to adapt techniques and finishes to make our project unique. So generous of you to take such time and trouble to make high quality videos & showcase your high quality garments ❤❤❤

I have just watched this video again to refresh my memory. Thank you again for this fantastic video!

You speak so well and clearly and concisely! God bless you for this video!❤ You edit and structure your videos very professionally!

I should have watched this before I attached the neckline and sleevless arm bindings. I will be picking mine out!

I thought of you today when I was unpicking a too short neckband. I should have followed your advice and measured the pattern pieces instead of blithely following the pattern! 😂 I have learned my lesson!

Best video I’ve seen on treatment of knit fabric necklines and armholes. Very detailed and clearly explained. Thanks so much!!

I'm so glad I found your channel! I love when you show us how to do a particular treatment to a project! So so (sew) helpful. Thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks 😊

Thank you for sharing these techniques. The mystery behind determining the perfect length neckband for fabrics with varying degree of stretch has now been clarified for me. You are doing a wonderful job. I am now more confident sewing with knits and no longer feel they are out of my league.

Oh my gosh Karina, what a fabulous video! I am going to go through it again and make ALL THE NOTES! I always learn something when I watch your videos, but this was chock full! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!

Now I understand why my neckband was too small. I measured at the edge. Thank you!! I just made a muslin for a knit top that I drafted from a RTW top. I added a neckband but didn't like the look. I just ended up turning the whole thing to the inside and top stitched it down. I think doing the double fold binding will give me the look I want. Perfect timing for this Master Class! I'm saving this video to my library for future reference. I'm certain I will be watching it often as I am just getting started with knits. Thank you for your thorough explanations and examples with actual garments. Karina, no one else puts out such excellent content. You really teach us rather than just show. I can't tell you how much my sewing has improved with your guidance. ❤️

And a master class it was, simply amazing Karina. I absolutely adore your videos, your clear and precise instruction, and all the different options you provide for us poor beginner + medium + advanced sewists. You have something for all of us and I always learn something new and then incorporate it into my next sewing pattern. I saved this video and many others from your classes and will get back to them again and again. You make sewing simple but fun, and I just love how precise you are and going the extra mile to hand bast your necklines and armholes. My Mama taught me the same way and I still implement it today.

Thanks very much, very comprehensive as all was. Cheers Mary

Amazingly detailed video. Learned so much! I wondered if you would consider doing a video on different types of hems in the future? Thanks for sharing all your sewing knowledge. ♥♥♥

Yes I do enjoy what I do :) It makes me happy and fills up my days.

This is so useful & helpful, especially the tip on hand basting the bindings & using a 1/4” foot, it will save me so much time seam ripping. I’m calling hand basting my new sewing super power lol. I’ve always thought it took too much time but it actually saves time redoing things.

Thanks Karina, it was very informative and good to have all the information in one place.

A great video. I'll remember this to watch again and again as a reference. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. It’s been so helpful for me. I love the percentages. I guesstimate the length of my bindings which doesn’t always give me the result I’m hoping for. All your videos are so helpful but this one I really needed.

I learned so much from this video, it's amazing. I really like how you have come up with your own techniques for sewing and I am using them all. The measuring around the neck and armholes at the seam allowance instead of the edge is going to make my life so much easier. I will be referring to this video several times I think to make sure I am doing things correctly. Thank you so much!

Thank you Katrina for sharing your techniques with us!😊 I have learned so much from you on finishing garments.

This will be my go-to reference from now on as I had gone with 80% or followed pattern recently and had not great results. You have clarified why variations in % I had also been measuring the edge and wondered why my calculation varied from pattern too. all this excellent content for free.

Fantastic thank you i know i will be using this for reference. After watching your contiousous bias binding video i am obsessed. I now have so much bias binding, it looks lovely on wooden cotton reels :-)

Thank you. This will be my 'go to' reference resource.❤

Love this!

Very complete video, I keep it for sure...so much informations in it thank you so much Karina!!!!

Thank you! I am working on sewing a cute doggie jacket, and I did not understand the instructions for how to sew a neckline at all. This helped me a great deal. Cute chihuahua coat here I come!

I will see these bands instead of folded hems. This looks so amazing. Jersey knit is my favorite fabric to sew. I know it's the difficult fabric but I love it.

Thank you so much !

This is gold! Thanks so much Karina!

I hate the math, too busy. I do all my calculations with my measuring tape. Double the amount, fold in quarters, etc... Works all the time. I am a subscriber and I do enjoy your videos. BTW, I've been sewing for 55 yrs.

Lots of great information, thank you.
