No-tape* tracing PDF Patterns onto Pellon (*almost)
Переглядів 2,6 тис.2 роки тому
This video shows an alternate method to handle PDF print out and multiple patterns. I don't tape it together into a big sheet or print/tape/cut a pattern for each size. I trace small sections at a time onto Pellon which is fast, easy to do, saves time, and stores really nicely.

    I was so bummed when I clicked on your website's link and saw the announcement that you're closed! Wishing you all the best and hope that you're enjoying retirement! :) If you have any recommendations of folks who make custom clothing, I'd really appreciate them! 😊

    Brilliant. I think I will do this on my usual Doctor exam paper. I have used the grided paper before and one bolt that I purchased was not a perfect one inch square, and if for any reason that is something you are relying on, can cause a problem. I really love this idea as I loathe Scotch taping PDFs.

      once you get the hang of it, no. (in my opinion) I found I rips holes in thing much more with a regular seam ripper. Plus seam rippers get dull quick and cost more.

    In case anyone is watching this over the years (because it definitely SHOULD be a demonstration every sewist eventually sees 🎉): 🩹🩸 😬 GET A SHARPS (💉🧷🪒📍📌 ) CONTAINER! You will save yourself and your trashbags a lot of stabs and holes. Not to mention all the people in waste management. They're having to deal with your trash already! Sharps containers can be disposed of in a variety of ways. Your local pharmacy, your doctor or hospital, your local government - you can search to find plenty of people and places who will SAFELY dispose of the sharps container for you, usually for free! Some places will actually exchange your container for a new empty one! Many sharps containers have a company's info on them, who will help you dispose of the sharps container. Merry Destruction! Stay safe ❤

    • @PennySchwyn
      @PennySchwyn 8 місяців тому

      Do you mean a flatlock seam like you see in commercial activewear or something else? You can do a topstitched seam with this machine, but not lapped. I've experimented with it; basting, wonder tape, nothing really works. You need a true flat lock industrial ( if you are asking what I think you are asking)

    Great demo showing ideas to improve upon a regular old 4 thread overlock construction seam. While making for fast and finished construction, the 514 overlock does leave a bit of bulk and also doesn't leave much seam allowance to hold a nice flat seam from the right side. That open overcast ( hong kong -esque) seam finish is a nice idea to reduce bulk and the cover hem makes for a faster process than having to topstitch both sides individually. For stretch, what do you think about using a single needle chain stitch as the construction seam then cover stitching for the top stitch? I'm not sure how well a chain stitch would last compared to a lock stitch.

    • @PennySchwyn
      @PennySchwyn Рік тому

      I haven't worked with a chain stitch much. I always turn to ready to wear to see what's been done. They'll use chain stitch to seam jeans, but not stretch wear. I think your chain/cover has possibilities but always test.

    I'm sure this is helpful information, but perhaps next time the camera can aim downward to completely see your hands and what you are doing with the mask. The window behind you was big and bright (but of no interest to me). I appreciate your friendly face! Also, if you made the mask originally then in this video added the darts, perhaps give viewers a link to the mask making video.

    When you topstitch the liner and the outer piece down the center, you direct the seem allowance towards the machine, do you go directly on top of what you just stitched, or ever so slightly to the right? I spent way too many hours on this mask fighting it but wanted to get it right because I like the design. I stumbled upon your brilliant and simple tips with my template and I’m obsessed. I feel like I won the UA-cam game of “find the right tutorial”. Yours was spot on. Sewing on a small round curve is possible! Thank you! I think using my server, and pushing the seems to the side instead of splitting them was key in saving time.
