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::)
I’m really glad I could help 😊
Esa maquina tengo yo..y es una maravilla hace de todas puntadas
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?
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 🤞🤞
I am learning to sew again after a 20 year hiatus! I watch so many videos but I find yours to be so very helpful, ecouraging, and informative. You are a very skilled teacher and I am grateful to have found your channel!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m so pleased you found me and I’m really happy I can help 😊
I too, was dreading the shortening chore. Thank you for sharing this brilliant technique….so slick, easy and painless! Took me more time to iron the packing wrinkles out. Can't thank you enough!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad I could help 😊
What a great video! I really want to make that as a dress! So cute!!
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Thankyou so much - this tutorial will be so helpful! I’m looking forward to buying this pattern and making it!
You’re welcome ☺️
Loved watching you sew this. A little too difficult for me but I still learned a lot. Thank you.
Thank you for watching - I’m glad you found the video useful 😊
Did you lose your screw? Should tighten needle screw, so it doesn't rattle out while you stitch.
No screw missing as far as I know… 🤔
You do a great job of explaining and demonstrating. You make it look simple but I can tell your hands are very skilled.
Thank you so much. I hope you found the video useful ☺️
Phew! Thank you so much! I was over here sweating, but you’ve saved the day!
I’m so pleased I could help 😊

I really enjoyed your sew along Julia I will feel more confident when I get started on my Fleur! ♥️
Thank you Maria - look forward to seeing your finished dress! ☺
Thank you, thank you, thank you 😘 I have had this machine for 3 years, yes 3 years and have been terrified of the flippin’ thing. Couldn’t fathom it out at all. This is the perfect video for me as it covers every aspect of every query I had. Beautifully and clearly explained and clearly shot. I’m so grateful. Big hug x
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I'm so glad I could help ☺
came here for step 6 lol
Excellent - hopefully this video helped you! :)
i have this machine but i dont know what sewing thread use for knit fabric
love this video.
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you, this was very helpful. 😊
You’re welcome ☺️
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
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.
Thank you for quick response! I never thought about the double stitch until your video. I already have 2 machines. Oh well... guess flat locking my only option. Thanks!
Great video btw- thank you!
Thank you ☺️
Is it possible to sew a centered zip like this around a curved edge, such a you would find in an oval-shaped pillow? Are there any special considerations to keep in mind?
Yes, that should work. Can’t think of any issues… 🤔
Your video so far has been the best... I been watching videos on lapped zipper for days..
Thank you so much ☺️
Hello! Do you have a certain type of thread and needle you recommend for chiffon?
I used a sew all polyester thread and a universal size 70/10 needle 😊
Thank you so much! after watching a lot of useless lapped zipper tutorials , and getting more and more frustrated, finally I came across your brilliant video !! You are the best teacher !! Thank You🎊
Thank you so much ☺️
Thank you very much !For years I've been sewing zippers with slightly looped sides. Today I'm proud of my neat sewing .Thanks to you tube and you ❤
Thank you for watching! I’m so pleased I could help ☺️
What about when the liner is sewn to the side seams of the outer layer?
You would probably need to separate the layers and then hem them.
Just found your tutorial to help on my project. Thank you so much for your brilliantly clear instructions 😊
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I’m really pleased I could help ☺️
Thank you very much.
You’re welcome ☺️
👏🏻🧵

Thank you so much for watching ☺️

Excellent tutorial thank you. Will definitely recommend and look for others.

Thank you so much! I had never hemmed a formal dress, your video made it so easy! Thank you, thank you!
You’re welcome - I’m so glad you found me ☺️
Thank you! I just hemmed a prom dress! (I was definitely going to make this much harder on myself!)
Brilliant!! I'm so glad I could help :)
This video may be six years old but absolutely the best explanation I have seen to date. Excellent tutorial Thank you..
Thank you so much ☺️
Thank you very much even though you didn't have the same make Sewing machine you were the most helpful assisting me on what I need to do
I’m so pleased I could help. Thank you for watching ☺️
Fabulous
Thank you 😊
just about to start this dress, thanks for the video x
No problem. Hope you find it useful ☺️
💯✅
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
I’m so glad you found me!! I’m really pleased I could help you find an easy solution 😊
I just came across your channel and enjoyed this episode and plan on watching many more. Nicely done, thank you.
Thank you for your lovely comment ☺️
Well, thank you very much! I did need to watch a couple times because my brain didn’t want to accept which way the pocket was actually created! But I sewed along with you and it works! Hallelujah!
Brilliant!! I’m so pleased I could help 😊
Thank goodness I saw your video before shortening my dress for a wedding. I was dreading cutting the fabric first but this method is brilliant!
Thank you!! I’m so glad you found me. Good luck with the alteration and enjoy the wedding ☺️
