  • not terribly expert is she? that puckering is from fabric being off grain, or pressure foot tension way too tight, or sewer not letting the machine feed the fabric on its own. whichever the case, don't learn topstitching from this video.

  • shit, must have missed a step, mine looks like crap

  • @mrmatthunt IF your such an expert WHY are you watching this video....? DURRR!!!

    and actually if you look the puckering was from her NOT holding the fabric snug on the top stitch! Just sayin'

  • @clds84 Lol, she just isn't that great. She can't talk and sew at the same time. Hahaha....who am I to talk though. I'm not very good yet either. =/

  • it would be nice if You could even see.... it is filmed in very poor quality... aren't we supposed to be able to SEE what she is doing.... sewing is a close up craft!!! very frustrating....

  • @bellynda1

    It's definitely not the featherweight. I have one and I've managed to sew some great looking plackets while others have had a little bit of puckering. It's most likely the pressure from the presser foot, as some people have said.

  • Your lessons are to short and to many parts it's really not worth watching sorry

  • PUCKERIIIING!!! Woa, makes me crazyyyy! I am a perfectionist and this hurts!

  • She is a muthah pucker, lol!

  • What a freakin mess! Where can I learn how to do this properly? It was a mess from the moment she started sewing, I am just a beginner, but even I can see that!

  • she called herself an expert? omg , she must be kidding, i can sew much better than her, and yet i am still a student.
