Hi....please tell me you repair? Because i like how you install your busk. No other company does it like that, even when i ask them to install the busk that way, they wont. I have informed them that the way they install their front busk, the corset can't be used for tight lacing, even though they say you can. Well i dont tight lace, but i do wear it snug. The front busk came out, which i knew at some point it would, but no one repairs corset. I tried repairing it by hand, which worked, but again both front busk came out. But I know if my corset was repaired by the way you put your busk in, it would not bust out again. The only thing that was holding my busk in was stitching, and to me that makes no sense. Please let me know???? Help????
On the stud side, are you punching ONLY through the outer fabric? Or are you punching through BOTH the outer fabric and half of the busk facing? Where within that Sandwich are you putting the stud holder? Only under the one outer layer? Between the two halves of the facing? That doesn't make sense to me because it seems the stitching would cause a weak point for the busk to break through? After I do the initial stitch facing and outer together and press, do I need to run another seam, basically stitch-in-the-ditch, on the outside edge to reinforce that stitching line?? I'm working on the 1880s pattern and am so confused. Sadly, the instruction manual is NOT made for a beginner, using all white fabric is NOT helpful, and none of my CosTubers have done a step-by-step tutorial using your pattern. I'm stymied.
Ok. I bought your 1880s Vic pattern and am working on the 1st mockup - never made a corset before and have no real life examples to go off. This video really does not help. Maybe I am just not real bright but I can't see what you are talking about. You already say you sewed the Busk Facing on and ironed it, but wait, what? How? And the written instructions show very unhelpful photos of white on white on white (Same with the video). Can't see what you are doing half the time so its very hard to follow along for a beginner. Going to try and find some other tutorial for this and just fumble this thing together in the hopes I can just get it to work. >_
Could you show a tutorial of using both fashion fabric and its lining using busks?
Thank you for sharing this technique, 🙂🤲🏽💯

What marking tool do you use? I’m struggling to find one that won’t leave a permanent mark.

I have the same questions. I do sew apparel, but haven't done many pieces. What did you ever figure out?
