When using interfacing, instead of using a squared-off piece, round the corners. That way it will be less apt to catch on things (jewelry, fingernails).
when using iron on interfacing on sleeves or legs, it helps to put a non stick press cloth in between the sleeve or leg. Even after carefully matching up the edges of the hole, they can sometimes slip a bit and then you end up with bits of interfacing attached to the wrong side of the sleeve. If you have a sleeve board, that can also be used.
I found ur channel because i tore a hole in my favorite Nike sweatpants and i could just toss them out. Very good tips thx for sharing! You save my sweat pants..lol u won me over I Subscribed!!!!
Thank you Dominica. Watching your video reassured me that repairing a hole in a favourite shirt is possible! I don't have a sewing machine, so should I use this diagonal stitching method for hand sewing too?
So useful! after lunch I will be fixing my favorite pants. Can you do a video on how to fix a rip along side a seam? this happens sometimes on my pants. thanks.
i have 2 of my favorite Sarongs which is woven cotton ikat from bali i have a round small hole in both of my Sarongs as i love them both i dont want to throw them away or use them as rags can my sarongs be mended please the holes are the size of a green pea..round hole in each sarong...thankyou...
I am new to sewing and like your videos very much. Question about 'interfacing'. Does interfacing get removed or come loose in the wash? I see that it provides a firm backing but will it curl up and irritate the person who wears the garment? I see interfacing is widely used in many projects - do you remove excess interfacing? Thank you for your help.
I know it is a bit late but I would use tear away or wash away interfacing for this. That way you can tear or wash away all excess interfacing and only keep the bit under the stitches.
@@amandaedwards3116 No problem. I don't know what country you are in but here in the USA we call interfacing something that is used to stiffen our give a fabric more body. It comes fusible or non fusible. It goes from light weight to a heavy weight like foam. But stabilizer is used mainly for embroidery and comes as cut away, tear away, melt away or wash away. Some people occasionally use light weight interfacing along with their stabilizer but it doesn't wash away. It would have to be cut away.
I feel like, for a hole that small just hand stitch it. Haha it takes so much damn time to get the machine set up and oiled etc. But maybe that just cuz my machine is about 40 years old. idk :p
Nothing. Hand stitching is still widely practiced, but that doesnt mean using machines is a problem. Machines are great, it's why our ancestors upgraded: our ancestors had sewn by hand and realized the difference - even then, they used foot powered machines if not electronic. If you can do it with a machine, you can stitch it by hand, it will just take longer. What did you plan on getting out of this comment? What purpose did you want it to have? How did it go about that?

Thanks! I prefer mending holes by hand, I feel like it's a little more precise. But it's good to know how to do it on a machine, too :)
Thank you for helping me repair my husband's torn shirt the best way!

I'm just starting sewing and this video has helped me.
You're the best tutorial! I wondered what setting is for the Janome.

This is so helpful, since my son ripped his pants with an l shape in it! Especially for someone who is a visual person
very good video. I could see what you were doing which helps.

Thanks great tutorial. I love your sewing machine could you tell me the make please?
Great video!!!! Easy!!!
When you say "it depends how big the rip is" as to stitch width (2 to 2.5)- should that be higher if the rip is bigger or lower?
Really helpful 👍👍
Thank you so much!

@@amandaedwards3116 interfacing usually aren’t wash away or tear away. Stabilizers come in wash away or cut away.
@@Brandi62 sorry, wrong word then. In our local shop they call the interfacing.

What ever hsppened to hand stitching. What would you do if the power went out and you couldnt use your machine.
What ever happened to using the library. What would you do if the power went out and you couldn't use the internet.
