Hey Brian, thanks for all your vids! But I got a question. In this video I can't really see if you use a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch. Wich one do you use for stretchy fabrics?

thanks alot!

[BRemlinger]

I always use a straight stitch, the more stretch I need the small stitch I use. Zigzag always looks wrong if it's visible as far as i'm concerned. On the inside it's fine, just not on the outside.....

The neck band is made from the same type of fabric the shirt is made from. Really any stretchy knit will work, even spandex is great!

How did you cut the pieces straight and nicely? Is there like an equipment to cut it?

Next time, please use light colored fabric. It was very hard to see the stiches and seams. I enjoy your web page too.

I can't believe you didn't use pins!

Sure would be nice to know what you are sewing on? 100% cotton? Does this have some spandex? Or is it a stretch poly?
