0.75 is literally the perfect amount for stretch fabric. Amazing, saved me a lot of trial and error

[guldenwelter]

Please continue with the tutorials. I like the way you teach. Thank you.

Love the metaphor comparing and contrasting cotton to dogs and stretch knits and jersey to cats. Truly spot on! What I like most about working with stretch knits and jersey is that they can often be sewn in their entirety with a serger. Easy-peasey!!

I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos

[yasemindogan]

Thank you a lot for this! I was trying to figure out how to do the collar for my new shirt and was getting frustrated, this video saved me some sweats and tears!

You have some really awesome techniques and a great way of explaining them. You would be surprised how there are not many men's pattern tutorials. I have taken a class so I understood most points. What I didn't get a chance to learn in class is the sizing for knit versus the sizing in linen or another non stretch material.

No waaaay! Thank you!
So cool of you to take time and really make this video!
Keep it up!

Great job C. I really enjoy watching other’s sewing styles. We all learn from each other. I’ve never hemmed the bottom prior to sewing up the sides so I will try that. Best bottom hem I’ve achieved was doing like you. Serge bottom edge, fold up and use a longer machine straight stitch. Doing this twice gives a great double needle effect without all the tunneling, weeping and gnashing of teeth of actually using one. 😂Thanks for the shoutout.

Yes, the neck is a different fabric. It is a ribbed knit fabric.

Love the 'the knitting pattern stance'!

[hawktools]

Great work as always, you go out of your way to explain each step of the process. This info is invaluable. Well done!

[kimworkman]

Great tips and video. Another thing i can be less nervous about

[sitruchsral]

Thank you for the tip about using a zig zag stitch without needing a serger!

[janfranklin]

YOu have stepped up your production quality! Great camera work, and the tees look great too.

I Think you have the neatest mustache I ever seen. Thanks for the detailed explanation 👍🏽👍🏽

[oopsallluke]

You deserve way more exposure for the quality of your work… A+

[PennyHerbst]

I'd highly recommend an interlock / cover machine for the seams, like the Janome 2000 CPX. The technique shown in the video does not stretch and takes way more time. Time is precious.

Absolutely love the energy you have about you, and the information you are giving is professional, and very helpful!

[AideninBroland]
