missevolution.weebly.com or http my blog chantellefashion.blogspot.com beginner simple sewing techniques how to hem and how to finish a seam very easy this is a little help for beginners i how this helps :-) If you’re using a standard sewing maching and trying to reconstruct t-shirts, you’ll want to use a zig-zag or stretch stitch. The zig-zag allows the stitch to stretch with the fabric, so it doesn’t break when you try to get your newly reconstructed t-shirt on or off. If you plan to be sewing a lot with stretch and knit fabrics, you might want to consider investing in a serger or a overlock machine to finnish your seams. A serger is a special sewing machine that uses 3, 4, or 5 threads. It trims off the seam allowance and sews “around” the seam, locking the edges to prevent rolling and fraying. A serger is very well suited to sewing stretch fabrics because it’s stitch allows for a lot more stretch than even a zig-zag stitch. but this video just shows how to finnish a seam without a serger. :-)
