  • By the way, if you're not currently a subscriber, I invite you to join! As a subscriber you can request tutorials for specific sewing projects. If it is within my area of experience, I'd be very happy to produce a tutorial for you.

  • Piping (or welt) strips can be cut on the bias or on the cross grain regardless of the pattern. I prefer making my strip on the bias because the resulting piping has more flexibility. Either way is fine; you may even prefer cutting on the cross grain when you're short on fabric. Please let me know your project is progressing; I wish you every success!

  • My sewing table is covered with a cutting mat, measuring 36x59. I purchased it from JoAnn Fabrics. It's available on their website.

  • I appreciate your slow tempo as a relative beginner. Thank you so much. Your videos are fantastic. I've selected a solid fabric, for my kitchen chairs, duck I believe. For solids, is it as necessary to cut on the bias? It seems like I should probably still cut for piping on the bias?

  • Sorry but you talk to slow for me to understand what you were saying

  • Hi, i'm from Malta and have just started a Tailoring course. I am noticing in your clip that your working top is covered with a measuring mat. Can you explain what it is called and if i can purchase one online? Thanks for your lessons

  • Thank you! It can be so expensive to buy premade piping in large quantities, this is a great alternative and also can be done in perfectly matching fabric!!

  • Thank you for such a clear set of instructions.

  • no not really sorry

  • you DESTROYED my life!!
