the ones here were cut on the straight grain. I do sometimes cut them on the bias, when I want to form a curved channel in front, or when i use them as decoration, curving. for the majority, I found that the straight grain works best - as the channel keeps the shape and doesn't distort and stretch with use as the bias are sometimes wont to...
The ends of the bones are secured in place with functional, decorative stitches to keep them from wearing through the fabric. Look up “corset flossing” to get an idea of the different stitches.
not for pressing - synthetic boning will melt, spiral boning will leave marks, flat boning - the protective sheeting will be damaged as well.... t use the boning to gauge the width - or to stitch ( careful though, much easier to break a needle on boning than on the bars.
How would you attach satin to the outside of the coutil boning channel? I want to make external boning channels that look like satin, but I know coutil is stronger, so I want the base layer holding the bone to be coutil, just covered with satin for show. How would I do that? Would you be willing to make a video tutorial to show us? :)
Why would you make such a heavy corset? Three layers?? You might be better off hunting down a silk twill to make the external boning channels, then sew it over the coutil base. What you're suggesting sounds silly and overly complex, sadly.
I don't understand the need for the pressing bar at all. Why not use one of the bones you plan to insert into the corset? Would't that assure you having the right size?
Izabella actually answered this question in the comments. There are a few reasons. If you’re just talking about sizing the channels when sewing them you CAN use the boning. Be aware however,that if you hit steel bones with the needle you’ll break them, and if you hit the plastic kind you’ll damage the bone and have to remove it. However you CANT or rather shouldn’t press with the bones in. If you use synthetic whalebone you run the risk of melting it, and steel boning has a coating that is also damaged by heat.
am I the only one who watches this over and over? love this corset
Very talented and very pretty corset too :)
awesome music, I love The Nutcracker!
Beautiful, thank you for sharing! And for inspiration!
It's very beautiful! I love it 😊
Gorgeous.
Do you recommend cutting the boning channel fabric on the straight grain or bias?

priorattire Makes sense, thanks.
beautiful work
I need this corset, or an edwardian corset of 1902
2:48 What does "flossed with a silk thread" mean?

Beautiful !!
I've never seen a pressing bar before. Can I just use boning?

The boning channel that you sew for demonstration is narrower than the one you iron, right?
This corset has both single and doh le channels, so possibly, yes
What was the tape you used around the waist for this? Also great tutorial it was really helpful :)
It was probably cotton twill tape
Is it okay to wear a tight corsette in the daily life with the exception of wearing tight jeans?

Ahhhh! I really need a zipper foot.

? so more bones equals more comfort by even pressure? what's the least amount of bones you will put in a corset?
hugely depends on a body type
nevermind, I read the comments
wow so beautiful but even as a fashion student I couldn't understand the steps D=
well, it was not intended as a tutorial...
