    Clear and nicely produced video, Julia. It may not be called a Hong Kong seam, but would it be more durable if you retained the folded edge on the back side of the bias tape? Am I correct that bias tape slightly wider on one side to allow a stitch in the ditch in the front to catch the tape on the back?

    Thank you for refreshing my memory. I wanted the measurements of your pocket template but needed it right now (being too lazy to dig out a commercial pattern), so I used 16 x 40 cm and guessed where the slit would be. It was for a man's casual jacket. Pocket is great, my placement of the slit on pocket fabric- not so great::)

    Thank you so much for this video! I’ve always cut before making the hem and my machine would grab the threads of the chiffon and bunch them, making the dress look terrible. Does this technique stop that?

  • @HouseofMissSew
    @HouseofMissSew8 күн бұрын

    I’ve tried both ways and it’s much easier to cut after you’ve stitched. You have more control over the fabric and it’s easier to handle. I think this method would avoid the bunching that you describe 🤞🤞

    is this the only machine (domestic) that can do a double overstitch? I was looking at my manual but I don't believe Juki 1500 can do that or a Bernette Funlock B 48

  • @HouseofMissSew
    @HouseofMissSewАй бұрын

    There are a couple of other domestic machines which offer the top coverstitch option: Janome 1200D and Janome CoverPro 3000. These are the only ones I’m aware of. It’s not possible on the Juki or Bernette.

    That was great! I've watched several vids and decided - I CAN'T DO THAT! Then as about to give up, I clicked on you. I have a sewing machine that I do simple alterations and pillow cases for the cat shelter and that's about all I can accomplish but I had an idea in my mind how I might hem these beautiful chifon duster without ruining it and it was exactly what you formulated and showed me how to do in an easy peasy way. Thanks so much! I don't sew much but going to subscribe because you really helped me. :^D p
