Apprendre à Coudre les Tissus Maille + T-Shirts | Cours de couture [Anglais seulement]

Like others who have posted, I am experienced with knits, but I still learned SO much from this course. Heather's scholarly yet down-to-earth and friendly teaching style is golden. It was especially helpful to learn about all the different types of knits and be reminded to slow down, find the grain, use a rotary cutter, and most importantly, test the stitch for a professional-looking result. The chart on figuring out neckband/binding length for the stretch of the fabric you are working with is priceless (and really works!).
The class uses the Amelie t-shirt pattern, which is excellent, but you can apply the content to any pattern calling for knit fabrics.
I feel this class would work just as well for a novice sewist, and Heather demonstrates on a regular sewing machine as well as a serger to accommodate everyone. Finally, it is just fun to watch!

Learn to Sew Knits + T-Shirts | Online Sewing Class

Sorry to take so long getting this in. I loved this class. I thought Heather was an amazing teacher and I ended up with a garment I’m really pleased with. The preparation/lessons leading up to cutting and sewing were well explained and demonstrated. I’ve held off sewing with knits but now have the confidence to experiment with more. Firsts for me were…getting the proper stitch length on my serger (not something I’ve played around with…looper tension I’m good with). Also feeding the 1/4 clear elastic through the slot in my serger presser foot…yay…success. I was using a cotton jersey with about 2% spandex and sized up one…also straightened the side seam for a bit more room. I also made 3/4 length sleeves by folding up on the lengthen/shorten line and redrafting the seam. I’m a big fan of “Steam a seam lite” and used this to “pin” the shoulder seams before serging as well as folding up the sleeve and bottom hems in place before hemming with my coverstitch. The neckband also went in really well (also topstitched with a narrow coverstitch). I really want to find a cute cotton jersey to make a few sleepshirts with this pattern…probably sizing up 2 for more roominess. So many options that I’m looking forward to.
I’ll end this by saying I also recently made the Fowler jacket which I’m really pleased with and pairing it with my new t-shirt is a perfect combination for the lovely Fall weather we’ve been having on the west coast.
So thanks for offering this really helpful class…well done. Ellen K

This class is easy to navigate with no wasted time -- the content is in Heather's signature scholarly, yet down-to-earth and totally helpful style. I am experienced with knits and yet learned so much, especially the reminder to take time to match your knit fabric to the pattern and test-sew seams, adjusting your machine, be it a regular sewing machine, a serger, a coverstitch, or all three for each project.
The information on bound necklines and neckline bindings is priceless, especially how to determine the correct measurement related to your fabric's stretch percentage for a beautiful, professional result.
I appreciate the time and care placed into this class to precisely demonstrate each concept or technique on both a regular sewing machine and a serger (overlocker), the use of scissors vs. rotary cutters, types of thread, and various stitches.
The Amellie tee pattern is as advertised: beautiful fit, perfectly drafted.
While it's fun to sew more complex, unique one-of-a-kind garments, it is also lovely to sew elevated basics that you actually wear every day. Obviously, I highly recommend this course, and I think it will inspire you to use these techniques on all knit garments far beyond your basic T-shirt!

The level of knowledge, preparation and information was outstanding. I am so inspired by that class. Thank you so much.

Heather is a wonderful educator who makes learning fun and relatable. Her courses are thoughtful and detail oriented. I learn a lot by watching the recorded courses them as references to go back to. I love Heather’s teaching style and feel more confident and encouraged to try new things. I am so appreciative of her work and that she makes these courses so affordable! THESE COURSES ARE GOLD!
