I have been doing this forever but never could get it this perfect. Now I see the secrets behind her beautiful stitch in the ditch. First she is extremely precise in every step. Her use of the stiletto helps this. Exact seam trimming and a good center crease in the bias tape are essential. Then note how she maneuvers the back of the bias tape into a precise position. The real secret is her final pressing where she presses the tape over just a bit to cover the stitching line. Very well done!
Yes!!! I’ve also never gotten it so perfect. I never trust the underside. This sewist’s maneuvering of the back is the key! Brilliant, generous, and enlightening!❤️
I wish I had the words to describe how beautiful this process was to watch. My hope is that you continue to have good health and love what you do in the hopes you will continue to share with others. Continue success in every way! 🙏🏼👏🏼🌺😊😔
Wow- learned several new things again. I have been seeing for over 30 years and have never heard about a sewing stiletto. I also just use the marks on my machine as sewing guide. Ordered myself a stiletto and magnetic seam guides.
Coming from a Japanese family from my dad’s side and had lived and worked in Japan, I’m still amazed about this meticulous and perfect work! Domo arigato gozai imashita ! 🇺🇸🇧🇷✂️
It's not just "stitch in the ditch", it's a whole technique. I love the tools she uses. And, of course, sewing linen fabric is always a pleasure. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
Totally agree with the linen fabric part! I used to sew with velvet a lot and now I wanted a linen dress and it was heaven to sew it compared to the velvet!
Сколько надо приложить усилий , чтобы добиться совершенства. Умница и трудяга!!!я в восхищении от такого усердия и любви к тому, что человек делает!!!👍👍👍
For anyone interested in this technique, it's called "stitch in the ditch" and is used often to secure binding from the right-side without it being seen. As I mentioned in another comment, the pointed tool she uses to adjust the fabric under the foot is a "sewing stiletto". and pink guide the fabric glides along is a seam guide. I don't know how this one attaches but the most common one is magnetic, aka a "magnetic seam guide".
@@Ustazgay I actually don't know for sure. I think it's used to raise the back of the foot and increase the surface area of the foot at the beginning of the seam. Sometimes when you start a seam so the back of the foot is off the fabric and front is on, or the fabric is small or to one side, the foot can slip to the side or to the back because the fabric underneath is not all one thickness. This increases the surface area and allows the foot to ride forward smoothly at the beginning. She also uses it at the end of the seam at 7:22 when the foot is uneven in the opposite direction (all the fabric at the back) to improve the control while back-stitching at the end without the foot sliding around.
This white strip is just a "PP strap". This is in order not to slide while sewing (sewing gap). When the thickness of the fabric is different, the pressure of the presser foot and the feed dog are not stable. Putting this tape means adding the height, this is very useful.
You can also use a plastic card. An old bank card or loyalty card will also help. She is pushing the edge of the bias out of the way and the tape helps hold it away from the needle. 😊
As a novice seamstress, this was the most mind blowing thing I have ever seen. I always wondered how this was possible and always tried to figure out a way to not have a top stitch on my own. I feel like I just leveled up hehe. Thank you so much!
Thank you for showing this so nearby! I just realized that I always pull too much on the bias tape on rounded workpiece! This was very helpful! Greetings from Germany
Excellent. I want to go and practice this now. The way you were feeling for the binding underneath, to be in place. Wonderful to watch an expert. Thank you.
In my experience, this level of precision is easier on an industrial machine like she is using. It just feeds so much more smoothly and can get much closer to the edges without eating up the delicate fabric like home machines can
True as a retired seamstress /tailoress who still sees at home yes the difference using a industrial sewing machine is amazing especially if it's just a strait stitch machine not a zig zag i make tiny underwear for Barbies only possible with strait stitch only needle plate vintage Singer as it does stitches much smaller than modern ones
Note to self, get commercial/industrial machine - got it! After test driving so many home machines, I think you're right. My mate learned on a commercial Juki (in prison) and he's constantly complaining about the foot pedal because he had a knee knocker and that his home sewing machine feels slower and less precise! I think your on to something! Cheers
i've been doing this for years but i still couldnt get the perfect seam as their work... its really hard to adjust the biastape on the back seam (sometimes it will move everywhere) but they do this precisely... im amazed!
I usually iron it down and baste/pin it before the final stitching step. Really important to trim it uniformly too (4:00 in video) so the fold is the same distance all the way around. Sometimes I just stitch it by hand if it has to be really precise, this way is slower but much more reliable to get right.
The thumbnails pic is so neat I already subscribe. Secret revealed in this video on how to do quality sewing. I suddenly remember my mom did something like this when I was little. Your instructions help me recall how to sew properly. Thanks so much we will be following here got my niece and nephew practicing sewing.
It's a nice job dear, I always try to do my best, but u show us why isn't possible without tools and technique and of course of dedication in any field that we are working. I am in same field and want to learn fine finishing and technique but there is no such video in UA-cam. Thank you so much.
😯 ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! My grandmother and mother were both seamstress and I haven't seen such impressive exacting since their passing. Thank you for your diligence in this lost art!
i saw somebody do this on a dress and really wanted to know how to do it. Now I do! Thank you very much. This video is so clear and easy to follow. Excited to have a go myself now!
Lordy - I sooo need way better lighting in my basement sewing room! Gotta work on that this weekend….great vid! I see years of experience in those talented hands and fingers!! Also great introduction to using the ice pick technique!💕
Thank you so much, exactly the video I was looking for. I love sewing since I was a kid, made many Barbie clothes. When I grow up, the most confusing part is thinking how people sew the neckline, and I got my answer now from this video ❤️❤️❤️.
The title should read: "How To Sew Bias Binding THE CORRECT WAY" I think this is the second - maybe third - video on all of UA-cam where this is done correctly. THANK YOU.
Que bellos teonados... Son perfectos mucha experiencia... Gracias por compartir este tipo de Trabajos así aprendemos a engrandecer las que hacemos... Gracias desde Honduras
Best part is speed of the video. It not edited, so we know how exactly slow it's going. Most videos are edited with speed and I end up thinking 🤔 woww... They can do it so fast and I can't. 👍🏻 Thank you for the video
Amazing attention to detail! Curious this level of sewing...is this for higher end garments, designer? Also lets give it up for the really good video work, the closeness and sharp focus makes me feel I'm there!
I have been doing this since long. But good you shared it. I don't rush when I do this, only then you get perfection. Your was very very neat, good job.
This stitch in the ditch works so well in this demonstration because the seamstress makes sure each part is done correctly and patiently. The binding is carefully cut and pressed, the neck edge is trimmed as needed, the sewing is slow and careful and everything is well pressed. Using a stiletto is key to her success.
Beautiful neat job! I like her using the right tools to get that perfect finishing. Most people (including so called professionals) are too lazy to use the tools and choose shortcuts instead. The final product is of course so different, you can tell how much effort was spent over it.
I have the utmost respect for those who pass on knowledge. I would like to thank you and all those whom are sharing their wisdom. ❤️
Hey i m alsp doing mehendi art and sticching classes

This is the video that helped me understand how the stitch in the ditch works for bias binding! Thank you!
I could watch talented people sew all day.

Thank you for sharing your sewing skills with us. It makes an old lady like me feel useful when I am able to sew dresses for my granddaughter's dolls!

何度見ても感動します。
表からパイピングを縫うとき、裏のパイピングを少し出すようにアイロンをして、しつけをかけても上手くいかず、なんとかならないものかと思っていました。
左人差し指の爪で、裏のパイピングを確認しているのですね。
真似してやってみます。

折り返して落としミシンのスタートと終わりの時に当ててるのは？厚みがあるから押えを滑りやすくする為ですか？
梱包作業などでもよく使われるＰＰテープです。
厚みがある箇所では押さえのところで段差が生じるため、押さえの圧と送り歯が通常のようには安定しません。
ＰＰテープでわざと高さを加えてミシン押さえの圧を上げて安定させています。
ありがとうございます！
いつも厚みのところが上手くいかずどうしたものかと思ってました。今度ＰＰテープ試してみます！
(*ᴗˬᴗ)⁾⁾⁾
パイピング難しいです。プロでもこんなに慎重に縫っていくので、そりゃあ素人には無理だ(笑)
The precision is incredible.
Que perfección. Le felicito
