/diy/ - Do It Yourself

stretch the material as you sew it. both hands on the material, one in front of the presser foot and one behind it. the machine needs to stay still for this; find a way to secure it to the table if it isn't heavy enough to stay in one place without help. this isn't a magic fix and the seams won't be particularly strong. if the material is very very flexible, or if the shirt fits very tightly/closely to the body, or if you aren't a little careful about putting it on and taking it off, then the thread is going to break somewhere and it's only a matter of time. try it though. sew the seams with the machine. sew the hems by hand. put the shirt on and listen for small popping sounds. move around a bit, especially your arms. then take the shirt off and find any broken thread places in the seams, then sew those places by hand using a cross stitch.
