Carol is always so knowledgeable. I really enjoyed her demonstration of the walking foot I did invest in one last year and it was a fortune but I have to say it has been invaluable when sewing heavier fabrics.

Love this show, Stuart and Carol and your discussion back and forth. Would love to be able to watch this in Canada so I’m living it through you both. Carol your grandmother of the bride dress is gorgeous. Stuart your tablecloth shirt turned out great, I think there will be a lot of repurposed tablecloth garments this summer, I watched a couple on KZitem this morning. I am wondering if Carol could demonstrate how to make covered bias button loops for a blouse in an upcoming show. Thank you to you both. Love from across the pond. ❤️🇨🇦

I live in the US so it’s difficult for me to watch TGBSB. I love watching your two series. 1) I learn how to improve my craft 2) I feel like I’m in the loop when it comes to the show 3) and I love to hear your expertise and opinions. Thanks for sharing this series with us. It inspires me to continue to learn to improve my craft.

Thankyou again for another great video ..I too wish they would give the sewers a realistic amo7nt of time for the challenges - as a viewer I want to see well executed projects NOT “ bodgit and scarper “ attempts ! I loved Ailsa’s trousers and have bought Helen’s closet Wimslow trousers as I think that is fairly close 🤞

Thank you both, I enjoyed your analysis of the GBSB garments. I have not made a garment from a vintage tablecloth, but I have used to make a couple of quilt tops, with some additional vintage tray cloths to add to the size. Very lovely results, and I was so pleased. They make excellent quilt tops Stuart. I added various small pieces, and appliqued them to the top, to ensure the batting did not escape! I no longer use any patchwork patterns - make it up as I go along now, and use whatever I can reuse/recycle. I do half and half garment and quilt stitching! My machine is a Janome, and for quilting I use their purple tip needles. I started using them because I was getting too many skipped stitches when attaching the binding, or if my quilt was a little more bulky - depending on the batting. Loved the winning garment too. Looking forward to the discussion next week.

Good morning Stuart and Carol. Thank you for this. I am a New Member and loving your videos. Placing the cord in the fold before sewing is a good tip. I only have basic sewing skills, even after several years trying on and off, so everything is a bonus for me. 😊

Nice idea, using bubble wrap to put the walking foot through its paces! I can easily imagine how a standard presser foot would drag the bubble wrap out of position. You've got me wondering about *why* a heavier fabric needs a thicker needle. It can't be for the motor's sake, because a thicker needle makes a wider hole, which takes more energy. Is it mainly about deflection? Once a needle starts to deflect, a heavier fabric will make it deflect further as it keeps moving. A thicker needle is more rigid, and less likely to deflect and bend and break.
@carolalayne1555

A bigger needle will be thicker and have a longer shaft, as you say, to stay rigid as it moves into and out of the fabric with each stitch.

Off the small amount of bias binding I have done. I prefer the first technique Carol showed. I like that the middle fold line fits perfect on the edge and only one line off sewing. I did find pinning or tacking was easier for me for finished result. I dont have the skills to sew without any of these.

I pin and tack absolutely everything along the way. This saves time and makes for the best results.

Another great episode. Thanks Carol and Stuart. I think I would rather see a well made garment that's not quite finished 🤔 than slap dash. I know that they like the "drama" for the show but all the rush, rush gives the wrong impression to non sewers. Will it encourage new sewers 🤔. Looking forward to next week 🧵🪡👍🏻
