Sewing Basics: Needles
Переглядів 4195 років тому
This introductory video goes over some of the basics of needles and which to use for various projects. Starting at universal needles and going through stretch, metallic, quilting, and more.
Can you send a link to the binding foot that you have?
I also use fusable thread for my binding. However I sew my binding to the front of the quilt then after it is fused down I stitch in the ditch on the front. The stitching only shows on the back.
Can you show use the clear foot in use? I hate the ones with guides, they shift when you're sewing across a single piece of square of fabric for flying geese or half square triangle to cut the pieces of the square in half.
How wide do you cut your binding?
Very nice method. I'd love to see a follow-up video showing how to handle the mitered corners using this technique. Thanks!
You did a fabulous job of explaining the Edge Joining Foot. I have this foot and never realized how wonderful it is. Thank you so very much!!!
Excellent tutorial! I had watched it several months ago, bought this foot for my Babylock Katherine, but unfortunately forgot some of these tips as I was making a Byannie bag. Saving the video today!
What is that tool you are using to help the material go through the machine?
It is a stiletto/pressing tool from the company Byannie.
I bought a Pfaff ambition, what a mistake, don't like it at all. should have bought this one.
How cool that you sleeved the webbing. I love webbing (and I have a stash of it as I made dog collars/leads for my volunteer dog transport). Peek and tuck...you said it perfectly. I consider a stiletto to be a must have safety and accuracy tool.
I have found the quality of some of the "guides" on 1/4" feet to be lacking (e.g. too flimsy and bendy). It appears that the guide on the foot that you are demonstrating it is pretty stable. I have a Bernina gated foot which is my favorite. My Bernina is not so smart (e.g. no auto overrides) that when I put the straight stitch plate on that I cannot choose "stupid stitches". But, the hole accommodates 1 click over so when needed, I get a perfect scant when needed. My juki has a foot with the "hump jumper" button...I had to look up what it is for. I found that I can simply press the button while sewing (if needed) without raising the presser foot. It is both a clever and handy option!
I just brought home my Soprano yesterday, and you taught me another great feature of this fantastic machine!! Thanks for a great tutorial.
Hi. Appreciate your detailed information on this lovely machine. I'm wondering if any of the baby lock machines offer a 9mm stitch length like several of the janome machines do.
Hello, I have a Baby Lock Unity. Yes, an older model but still a great machine. I bought it 2 years ago...I look forward to more of your videos because: No background music that drowns out your voice Your voice an enunciation is great !! Your demonstration with instruction is perfect So I want to learn more . Thank you, Carolyn Salisbury N C
Very nice video! I love my Baby Lock Soprano another great feature is it can sew sideways which works great for my daughters Girl Scout patches. I’m a late bloomer with sewing and quilting but this machine has made it seem like I’ve been sewing for years.
Om
I’ve had my Soprano for a little over a year now & I absolutely LOVE it! It truly is very user friendly with awesome features. The manual is very well organized & I can easily find instructions what I am looking for. I am 54 years old & I didn’t sew or own a machine until now. I bought it for quilting. I had to laugh though when you said that many of us say we aren’t interested in the decorative stitches as I said the same thing. I’ve just this past week started playing around with them on my quilt borders & I am having so much fun. The Twin needle is great too. I am going to integrate more decorative stitches into my next quilt & blocks. Your demo was very well done. Thanks.
Wow. Thanks lot . ma does it interlock .
I love my edge joining foot. So many ways to utilize it. Great video
My manual (for the Crescendo) said not to use any thread lower than 20 weight in the needle. Do you know why?
how much is this machine ?
My $179 Brother 6000i has the same bobbin loading system with no need to bring up thread, the same one step buttonhole foot, a smaller included quilting table, etc. Unfortunately, it's not great for any kind of even slightly heavy sewing in general, which is why I'm checking out this machine.

You too, Debbie!
Great idea to do these videos. This was very informative. Can't wait for the next on. How about how to clean your machine after each project?
Great suggestion, Jan! We will add that to our list of videos to do. We're looking forward to adding more!
How very informative! Great video!
Great video! How often should needles be replaced?
Great question. Needles should be replaced every 8 hours of sewing, or when starting a new project.
