  • I always hear from sewing experts to never sew over your needles because you may damage your machine or injured yourself. Lucky for you that you have great sturdy machine. T4S

  • @AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ

    Yes, the machine has to have a slant shank, which allows a certain amount of movement of the foot so it can sew over pins. Singer Sewing Machines have this type of shank. ;)

  • This is a great video! Thank you. Oh, and I love your pincushion!  :)

  • @WentasticBomBastic Thanks, my mom gave me that pin cushion when I was a teenager. It is so much more "me" than a tomato pin cushion!

  • Is it difficult to draft a princess seam?

    On the video, superb job!

  • @UchihaMoonSerenity

    Sorry, I don't draft my own patterns. I'm a technician, Cap'n, not an artist. ;)

    That said, you might try these instructions: wikihow(dot)com(slash)Use-Prin­cess-Seams-to-Take-in-Your-Clo­thing .

    I did purchase a program once, DressMaker I think it was called, where you can draft with your measurements and pre-programmed designs. It isn't for me, though. I need step by step garment construction instructions.

    You can also finish each seam with zig zag (see my video) and/or double sew the seam. It will largely depend on your fabric.

  • Great video! I always worry about the durability of clipped seams but I see by the way you clip there's no reason to.

    Happy sewing! I love princess style. In fact, when I shop for ready-made, I pretty much only look for princess. I never feel like other styles suit me very well. Enjoy!

  • Wow, thank you so much for this. I just made a top like this and I didnt know why I was having a hard time sewing it. Now I know the right way and I am so thankful for this video.
