This video kicks off a new series of tutorials I'm working on just for those of you that are still afraid to tackle stretch knit fabric. It's not that difficult... and I will show you that through the course of this series. In this Part 1 of the Basics video I cover some important information about working with knits that you should know before getting started including, what knit fabrics are, their fiber content, the importance of grain lines, the type of sewing machine needle and presser feet you should use, etc.

Articulate, to the point, captivating, you have no idea how helpful that is to me. I certainly hope you are somehow involved in the education system in your area, kids need people like you.

[Jen Dub]

thank you thank you thank you! Im a beginner seamstress and I am making a skirt with jersey knit.  My 1st pitstop was knowing which way to lay the pattern. You've answered a lot my questions with your information. Im a subscriber!

[MyMyfavorites]

You are so knowledgeable. You speak how I comprehend. I truly appreciate your sewing skills, but more your ability to teach and demonstrate those skills so clearly and confidently. Thank you :) Checking you out on Pinterest!

[Deirdre Schmidt]

Would I be able to sew cotton fabric to jersey knit?

[SexyRed715]

Thanks SOOO much!!! I needed to see these and you are an excellent teacher.

I'm doing a first time project with knit fabric and I've never actually sewn anything from scratch before. I figured it'd be easier to make a fitted dress with stretch rather than a non stretch fabric. Apparently I was wrong, but I'm gonna be brave and try to do this without making mistakes. Also, when I got my fabric, I went ahead and bought stretch needles, but.. maybe I should go back and get the ball point just in case. Idk.. What do you think? Please respond, I need major help. >3<'

Enjoy your tutorial very much, they are very informative and I always learn something new from them. Thanks for your videos. Now I'm off to make that pattern for the Dolman Style T-shirt I saw in another of your videos.
