What an awesome video Cristy! I’m a relatively new sewer. I’ve been trying your glue basting method for a little while and I’m really starting to love it. Your video was so helpful in so many ways. Especially when you made the couple of mistakes. I appreciate you not editing them out. I felt like every time I had a question about something you addressed it. Kinda like you were reading my mind. Now I just have to figure out when the appropriate time is to press in opposite directions. Sorry for my long comment but I do have two questions. 1) I heard what you said about pressing seams open and how that can weaken your stitching but do you every press open? If so, and you’ve glue basted, do you then go back after stitching and pop all of your glue basting open? 2) When you talked about your thread and needles you said that you match your needle to your thread. I’ve not heard of this. I always thought you matched your needle to your fabric. Needles are something I’ve struggled with, which size to use.
