How to use a seam ripper

A seam ripper is a small sewing tool with a point used to pick stitches and a sharp curve that acts as a cutter. It is used in removing stitches, usually because a mistake has been made, to take fabric pieces apart, or to remove temporary stitches. Despite its name, there's no actual ripping involved, but rather stitches are picked apart or cut. This video will demonstrate how to use the seam ripper for minimum damage to your fabric and different ways it can be used. #sew #sewing #sewingbasics

How to do continuous thread sewing (aka continuous dart)

Continuous thread sewing (a.k.a. one thread stitching, a.k.a. continuous dart) is when the sewing machine sews only using the bobbin thread, allowing one end to forgo having a backstitch. Sometimes, like in darts, you don't want a back stich at the dart tip and maybe a hand knot will also be unsightly, because you're working with sheer fabric. This video tutorial shows you how it's done. #sew #sewing #sewingtricks #garmentsewing #sewclothes

How to use a hem gauge for quick folding

This tutorial gives you a couple options to try and you can see which way works best for you, one is using a basting stitch and the other the hem gauge. The techniques shown here are more for straight edges but you can also use a similar process for more curved hemlines, although, I usually recommend a rolled hem for those.
