When you're machine sewing a basting stitch, you can raise or lower the upper thread tension until the stitches are almost looping, and this will make the seam extra easy to unpick as one thread will just slide right out when you pull on the end. Just need to remember to set the tension back to normal before sewing your regular seam!
That was a great idea to add interest to a project - can totally see that on a dress or skirt! I was admiring your dress - lovely use of fabric complements and so well constructed. If you made that, it is a super way to advertise your sewing prowess. I enjoy your presentations and see you have lots more I can view in the future!
Oooo I don't have any garments with this but now I will! Maybe along a sleeve or side seam for trousers? I'm trying to think of what would be cool with movement.
Maybe out of topic here, the dress ( or jumpsuit ?) youkre wearing in that video is absolutely gorgeous 🤩
Thank you so much :) It is a dress that I made.

I will have to try that! Thank you for the suggestion.
Oh my goodness, I remember that from a sewing class I took when I was 15 or 16 years old lol! Thanks for the good memories! 😊
@@thethriftyfawn Hopefully it was on purpose, and not a lesson learned on a seam you intended to keep!
I really love this! I think I need to try it on my next project. I'll tag you on Instagram when I end up doing it. Very cool!
Yes please. I would love to see it!
The same way I put in a zip. Would never have thought of using a ribbon this way so thank you.
Thank you for watching. I’m happy to inspire! 💖
That's a very interesting technique! It might also look good with a bigger space to show to contrasting color, like a stripe on a side seam or a yoke.
That's a great idea!
Thanx for another great tutorial. Love what your wearing, very chic.
Thank you for watching. I made my dress 👗 😊

Thank you for watching & for the kind compliments. The dress I have on is one of my designs. I think I made it like 7 years ago 😮 Time flys!
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thank you for watching :)

I think a sleeve with style lines in it would be cool!
Thank you
Thank you for watching.
This is cool! I just might try this denim... knowing me, it'll likely be a distress look tho lol 😊
I think that’s a great project for it.
Looks similar to how you’d do an invisible zip.
I think you mean a regular centered zipper but yes. It is just like that.
How might you use this technique in making a bag?
Any plain seams that you have in it you can use this technique.
So why would u use a slotted seam?
I explain it in the video. Did you watch it?
@SewAnastasia ooo yes i have watched it, i just wasnt certain that was only esthetic . But yeah makes sense 🤔 😀
@@c0pykatt ok. Yeah it’s a fancy way to make a seam. I hope ya give it a try some time. :)
