    Thank you so much for sharing these tips. Could you please teach us how to measure the size of the cloth necessary for a set length and width of biais tape, reminding us of the maths formula?

    I realize this is an older video but commenting anyway. Since this is a simple pattern, would have been better to show cutting measurements. Not everyone has the equipment to download patterns.

    Help, I bought the overcast foot but apparently my sewing machine has the stitch #15 with the straight stitch to the right instead of the left! So the foot does not work and I have not seen one that could work for the other side. My machine model is singer m3305. Anyone know if this is normal or what could I do about it?

    Jan, really good video about placing , and cutting out a pattern. Great instruction, information about how to lengthen, or shorten the pant leg. ( I always have had to shorten mine.) You even show how to measure to the selvage line, to make sure the grainline is straight. I learned these skills from my mother and I appreciate you still teaching the "right" way. (they way I was taught, anyway!)Many of the videos I have watched cut the notches into the seamline, rather than outward? One more tip learned from Mom- when you are sewing the "hole" left for the elastic. add a piece of ribbon or some type of tag to identify the back of the pants. Makes it much easier when you are putting them on.

    Hello. I am a beginner on sewing, I don't know much about it. I'm trying to sew a piece of fleece but I can't seem to able to do it. The fabric I worked with before was linen, very fine and thin and it was all good. But now with fleece, the machine can never pick the bobbin thread, I can't for the life in me sew anything, the needle simply moves up and down and eventually the line comes off it, not doing any stitches. I am wondering if there is something wrong with the needle? Or wrong needle? Or wrong settings? Or with the machine (it's an old second hand Singer Genie 354). Thank you

    Love the pattern and will make one for my traveling sewing machine. Please clarify the cut size of the batting for the pocket. The video states 12x6” but the length of the pocket is 21”. I appreciate your sewing style, organization and neatness while sewing and the finished project.

    After hydration and insertion the material is pretty wet, I’m worried my machine may get water inside while sewing. Do you let them dry out for a while before machine sewing?

    When you sew the labels into your project seam allowance do you have to use fray check on the fraying end beforehand or no?
