    for this, I just use some muslin I had laying around, but I normally use an old pillowcase.

    When you’re doing a bling hem....you only need to pick up one or two of the main body strands...the amount you picked up...I’m sure would be seen greatly on the finished side....

    You didn't turn the fabric over near the end to show if the hemming was showing on the other side. I would think it would because that material is very thin.

      We have a tutorial on taking your body measurements here: ua-cam.com/video/T5fktYo_h3A/v-deo.html For a tank top, you should use your bust measurement for deciding your size.

    I'm wanting to make a satin patch but I dont really know how to do this with 2 different overlaying satin colors. My background is white and the actual satin artwork is gold but I dont know how to make the patch look the way I want it. Does anyone know how to help?

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  5 років тому

      Sorry, I don't know either. Typically, patches are made with fusible webbing which is applied with a hot iron and satin can't take a hot iron. :(

    Hi, If I want to make a skirt with Satin fabric. usually satin fabric is very thin, what kind of the material that i can sew together with the satin fabric so it will feel thicker?

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  10 років тому +1

      I would say that the more expensive the satin is, the thicker it comes and you probably wouldn't need to add anything, but you could probably just add a lining to stabilize it more. At the fabric store you should be able to find a section of "apparel lining". Just realize that while it'll add some thickness, you won't be able to take really flimsy fabric and make it a great deal stiffer. You'll have to choose a different fabric that already has that characteristic.

    • @SJHacker
      @SJHacker 9 років тому +5

      I've been taking classes at Joann's on this and they said that although you can line with just about anything, for a thicker but still "flexible" (it won't stick out from the body) they suggest a cotton or knit lining because the satin will be what is seen but YOU get to feel like you are wearing your favorite tee shirt! I thought this is great. Since I like retro style stiff garments I usually line with a polyester twill (think suit shirt) because its a bit stiffer. If it's a winter garment you can really go the extra mile with fleece or felt but that may require using a thicker needle.Hope this helps?

    I'm making a double wedding ring quilt out of bridal satin. The satin I received had wrinkles and deep creases making it mostly unusable. I put my iron on one setting above low and using a pressing sheet over the satin was able to remove even deep creases, making all of my satin usable.

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  7 років тому +1

      oh good! Satin can be pretty finicky so I'm so glad you were able to get it to work for you :)

    can you tell me the fabrics they use to make a moncler coat or any shiny down jacket?

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  10 років тому

      I'm thinking it's nylon. You might have to order that kind of fabric online. I don't really see it at a regular fabric store.

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  7 років тому +1

      universal, sharp or microtex needle should be fine. I would start with a size 80

    Do you have a video on how to use Shantung fabric? Stretchy denim (want to use both of these for a maxi skirt)? Also is there fabric that is recommended for beginners?

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  9 років тому +1

      La-Kia Kommeren we don't but I'll definitely add it to my list. When you're first starting out, I recommend working with cottons and cotton blends. They don't slip around and have problem child issues. Also, if you make a mistake they're fairly forgiveable. They're not the most exciting but there's a lot of cute prints out there.

    I feel like there's just too much tension on the foot and it'd be great if you could take a little bit of that off because when I lift up with the handle while I'm sewing I feel like that helps so with satin where it doesn't come out uneven because the bottom is pulling faster than the top so it just feels like there's probably just too much tension and there aren't really any adjustable options on sewing machines with a standard foot fur stitching with satin so you basically I have to hold it up manually

    Hei, instead of tissue paper, Is it ok to use a walking-foot?

    • @ProfessorPincushion
      @ProfessorPincushion  10 років тому

      You can try. It doesn't work as well for me because sometimes the fabric is so slippery that whenever the walking foot goes up, the fabric slips and, therefore, my seams are not was straight.

      satin and taffeta should be treated the same. the tips in this video can apply to both.

      "How to sew with satin and taffeta". Consider the *and*. It means both fabrics already. The "and" here should also tell you that these two fabrics could possibly behave similarly. 🤗
