Sew Ribbon Backing To Knits - Reinforce Button Bands & Edges

In this tutorial, I am going through step-by-step the process of hand sewing a ribbon backing to the edges/seams of your knitted garments using a whip stitch (also known as the overcast stitch). By lining & stabilising the edges on your knitwear you prevent them from being distorted and stretch out over time, and it's also a perfect way to hide threads in a steeked garment or a cut and sew piece that you might have made on your knitting machine.
This technique you can also use to attach ribbon backing to reinforce button bands - just make sure to make your buttonholes BEFORE you attach the ribbon to your garment.
To attach ribbon backing to knitwear you will need:
▸ A sturdy ribbon e.g. cross-grain or Petersham ribbon tidd.ly/3vdI8pn
▸ Contrasting or matching thread tinyurl.com/29...
▸ Sharp needles tinyurl.com/3f...
▸ Pins tinyurl.com/cy...
▸ Measuring tape tinyurl.com/tj...
▸ Embroidery scissors/fabric snips tinyurl.com/c2...
▸ Fabric shears tinyurl.com/wp...

Wow it’s a long time I don’t go on my channel and see everyone’s content. Looks awesome ! And your voiceover is such a good quality sound I find ! Congrats on passing 1K 💕😊

[@missmatti]

Thank you! ☺️💕 It’s been such a big goal to reach 1k it feels a bit surreal to have reached it.
I love the microphone I use for my voiceover. It’s way better than my other mic so I’m thinking of using it for my whole videos now. It’s from a brand called Fifine if you’re interested. ☺️
