I was super amazed. So it can be done and I would definitely second checking out YouTube. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-ladies-who-sew#post-1009730 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 16:26:19 +0000 Betti 1009730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Be sure to press (iron) it after all steps, including after machine sewing the long sides right before turning. Turning is easier after it has been pressed and you get a better finished product. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-ladies-who-sew#post-1009329 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 02:11:28 +0000 ElleH 1009329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I push the needle into the folded seam about 1/16th of an inch &amp; then come out &amp; straight across into the opposite folded seam &amp; do the same &amp; do this until I'm done. Sorry I don't have a video. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-ladies-who-sew#post-1009296 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 01:43:10 +0000 Vildy 1009296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An alternative could be - and I don't bother with the stuff - slipping a piece of thin fusible interfacing in between and pressing the opening together and sealing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-ladies-who-sew#post-1009295 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 01:43:10 +0000 Anonymous 1009295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vildy is right! Luckily there are lots of good tutorials on You Tube for stuff like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-ladies-who-sew#post-1009292 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 01:41:55 +0000 Vildy 1009292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sew it by hand. You roll/turn the raw edges in so that it looks like the same width as the rest of the tie. Best thing to do is look around, Youtube maybe, for a tutorial on blind stitching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-ladies-who-sew#post-1009263 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 01:19:50 +0000 Victoria 1009263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this has really driven me nuts and i can't find an answer anywhere neither do I have anyone who can show me what to do.<br />For example, if you are sewing a belt(I am just using this as an example), usually you sew the two pieces of fabric together, leave a small opening, then turn the item right side out and press it. However, you still have this small opening that you used to turn the item through. <br />My question is-how do you sew the opening closed so its unoticable? I am sorry if this sounds like a stupid question </p>
