In reply to Jenny Sue. Is it stretch denim ? If yes, are you using the ballpoint needle for stretchy fabric or a stretchy stitch?

New to sewing myself. Hubby gifted me a Singer Patchwork machine and I’m enjoying learning! He’s requested me take his longsleeve work overalls and make them short sleeve. First attempt I have areas of puckering? Material is mostly demin. Being very careful with folds, pressing in place, and pinning. I dont feel as though I’m pulling? Any suggestions please. Thank you

In reply to Judy. I used it on a valence with a lining and I it went through both layers. I don't have any advice as to why it didn't work for you but just so you know, it can be done. Good luck!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I am making a valance for my kitchen and I dreaded hemming it by hand. My machine made fast work of it. Saved me a bunch of time and worked perfectly.

Is it possible to do a blind stitch on the side seam of a curtain that includes the lining? When I tried it, the “V” part of the stitch only goes through one layer of curtain fabric so the lining only gets attached to the folded hem and not the layer of the curtain fabric that is visible.

In reply to Sharon Stopple. Hi Sharon Definitely stitch - glue won't hold weight. You can make invisible stitches to attach your pocket inside -follow the tutorial for invisible stitches here

We all know that most women’s blazers do not come with pockets, inside or out. I am attempting to add a patch pocket to the lining inside my blazer. My machine just recently broke and I can’t afford to have it fixed right now so everything will be done by hand. I need to know if the pocket will hang correctly if attached to the liner with a phone in it. Should I stitch or glue the pocket to the jacket? Any suggestions will be appreciated, and I really need the advice pretty fast since the wedding is in 10 days!
Thank you so much!
Sharon

Thank you SO MUCH! This was incredibly helpful for me! Now I can hem my sons’ pants, and not just fold the cuffs (which never stays). I deeply appreciate your post. Keep up the good work! 🙂
