Even if you only have a standard sewing machine, you can still achieve a lovely finish on your knits. Read on for my top twin-needle tips. Commercially-made knits are hemmed with a specialised machine called a coverstitcher. But if you don’t want to splash out on that just yet, all you need is a special needle called a twin needle. This creates two lines of stitching simultaneously, while the bobbin thread zig zags between the two on the underside. This stitch is naturally stretchy, making it perfect for knits.
That's just a few tips for sewing with a twin needle. I hope you give it a try!
It wouldn’t be a Forget-me-not celebration without showcasing the amazing makers who brought our designs to life. Today, we’ll share more about who really made it all possible - you!
Fancy a stroll down memory lane? Forget-me-not is saying farewell (at least, for now), but before we go, it’s time to celebrate where we’ve been!
Forget-me-not Patterns launched July 3, 2019 with the Clementine Knit Dress pattern. It was clear from the beginning that the sewing community was eager for distinctly detailed patterns with lots of options for styling and fit. We set out to design wearable wardrobe staples with extra special details to create pieces that were both elevated and easy to wear.
Dear Sewists,
With a grateful, yet heavy heart, Forget-me-not Patterns is saying farewell. At least for now. Design and patternmaking mean absolutely everything to me, and this decision hasn’t been an easy one.
