This was such a good introduction to the series, I learned a lot already!
I'm so glad you're finding it valuable! Thanks for watching!
Bravo!! I just watched the first episode, and I want to thank you for doing a great job! You are so knowledgeable. I can' t wait to watch the rest of your videos and learn some more. There is so much ignorance about fabrics/fibres/weaves out there. I'm in a vintage fabric buying/selling group, and it just sets my teeth on edge when people misname fabrics. I hope you will include some discussion on identifying fibres through burn testing, and also explain the differences between similar fabrics, ie seersucker v. plisse, dimity v. leno, velvet v. velveteen, etc. There's a surprising amount of fabrics that are similar like these, and I'd like to be more knowledgeable about the differences
Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. And, great minds think alike (; We've been planning some content related to those fabrics, so they are coming!! Fabric names can be VERY confusing, so I'm hoping we can help with that.
I brought home quite the variety of unlabeled fabrics from a charity sale a few months ago and it's been overwhelming to sort through as a sewing n00b - SO excited for this series, thank you!!
I'm so glad you're excited for this series! If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask. Our goal is to bring as much value to this community as we can! - Kelly
@@AThriftyNotion Burn tests are my biggest question right now. I haven't done any yet and I understand in theory how they help identify fiber content. What's the safest/most effective way to do a burn test, and how can I interpret ambiguous results?
This looks like such an informative series. Can't wait for more!
I recently ordered from your website for the first time and was pleased with the fabrics I ordered thanks to the good fabric descriptions. I am interested in learning about chemicals used in fabric manufacturing, including chemical treatments to natural fibers/fabrics. Lots to talk about! 🧵
Thank you so much for shopping with us! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your fabrics! There is a lot to talk about and we're coming up with more ideas all the time, so this series will be rolling for a while!
