I had no idea that something like a hemstitch needle existed - this really opens up so many possibilities with the decorative stitches on my machine. Thanks so much for sharing this technique!

[haddiewillsburg]

Would love more videos on vintage sewing techniques!

Another shout out to the mention of wing needles. I’d never heard of them before but I’ve now ordered one already and I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you.

There is a pin tuck foot that creates lovely pintucks. I love how you used the scalloped edge of the fabric. Thanks for the tip.

The sleeve casing neatening trick is great. Thanks. I am not a lace fan but I am teaching friends to sew recently and that’s a great tip.

[farmwife]

Lace insertion is a favorite of mine and so easy. Looks amazing.

Enjoyed the video and yes, would like to see more details especially ideas for hems (sleeve and bottom hem) and waistbands of skirts.

I did not know about a hemstitch needle! Yes! Show me more techniques like this. Thank you!

I love the way you teach. I just gave you Shout Out on my LIVE!

[cosmicpolitan]

I'm so excited to use a hemstitch needle now! would love to see more cool techniques like that 😁😁

[campdale]

❤ thanks for the tips on the wing needle. I have one but have never used it. I’m getting ready to make a top with some vintage cotton. I have plenty of fabric to play with. Think I will to try some of these ideas. I like the idea you give on how to hack and wear some of your patterns

[Lily.Mac]

Loved this. I'd love to dabble more in embroidery so any content on that is much appreciated (particularly hand embroidery as I have a very basic machine!)

[neon.neutral]

Can you make a video about how to add pintucks to any pattern? Like how much to add to a skirt etc and different looks of diffwrent tuck widths etc.

[SamanthaMadison]

These are the kind of details I love on a garment. Looking forward to trying them out!

[kuztwo]

Loved, loved these tips! I will be ordering that needle and thread tonight.

[janicek]

Thank you for this info! It was so very interesting! And the garments are beautiful.

[maureencullen]

I found this really interesting.Can you use any fabric with the hemstitch needle such as viscose? I would love to learn more about this, also about pintuçks.

[annalisapedraza]

I loved this! I have a very basic machine with no programmed pretty stitches. There must be handwork techniques for some of this openwork. Are there any on the site?

[maureencullen]

Can you use a hemstitch needle with a walking foot?
