Thank you this is so useful especially your other video on sewing darts with this fabric. No one has done a video on this I still have questions on it but the video is gold.
Hi, checking if my understanding is correct: So after stitching the 3 layers, you end up with two strips of allowances: 1 allowance of 3 layers, and 1 allowance with a single layer plus a permanent guideline. You then trim the 3 layered side shorter than the 1 layered side, so that the 1 layered side can wrap around the 3 layered side. Then you stitch the 1 layered allowance to the main coat fabric to keep it wrapped. On the allowance side, the stitching goes thru the guideline, not the allowance itself. On the main coat fabric side, the thread does thru the fabric itself.
This fabric is made by bonding 2 layers together, and called either double faced, or double cloth. Many times you can see it with different colors on each side. Hope this helps!
This seriously is great but it would be even more helpful if this wasn’t sped up! It was hard to see some of the steps. I even wanted to see a bit of the hand sewing in real time so I could judge the spacing between stitches.

Yes, the only thing that’s permanent is the stay stitching line that’s used as a guideline for the final hand stitching.
This is Double lined fabric ??

can you tell me what brand needles you are using? thanks
I find Lance sharps 7 most comfortable for these jobs
@@thepatternline8278 Thank you so much. I will buy them today. Again, please post a video showing this method on a lighter fabric.
Are you selling the pattern for this coat? 😍
Short answer is no. I’m trying to gauge an interest in these, as time consuming products usually don’t do so well.
How big is the temporary guide stitch line?
I usually do 1/2” for the temporary guide. If your fabric frays a lot, I recommend using 5/8”

Hello Emily, and sorry for the late reply. You can read/ see detailed pictures of this process on my website under working with double faced fabrics.
