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

I have tended to stay away from sewing knits as I was always disappointed in my t shirts. This class has clarified so much I didn't know and given me the confidence to try again. I realised that of all the classic shirts in woven fabrics that I have made, I would really prefer to wear t shirts. Investing in this class is a game changer. I especially like the attitude that you are going to make mistakes and your first t shirts are going to be not too great. But Heather gave me permission to fail or to make slightly dodgy t shirts but to persevere with more knowledge and to improve each time.

I've really enjoyed this class. Learning how to do a bound neckline was an excellent technique that I'm now going to use a lot. Lots of useful information about fabric choice and the differing effect of various fabrics, even in the same sizes. I've just finished 2 Amelie tops and am starting on a third. The 2nd top was a very challenging fabric, lots of stretch but no recovery. It wouldn't have been wearable expect for the information I gleaned from the class re the importance of stabilisation, which allowed me to figure out how to make the neckline work. Also as a result of this I figured out how to use a double needle, which given a lovely high end finish to necklines. A very worthwhile class. This is the 2rd class I've gotten (how to sew, how to sew trousers) and they have all been excellent. Kudos to Heather Lou and the team !

OK, stop searching endlessly for a book or course that will teach you to sew knits the way a design school would. This is it. No more collecting tiny scraps of useful information from hundreds of different sources, then trying to piece everything together in your mind and hoping it all works. If you want meaty yet manageable instruction for grown-ups, this is it. Heather has now officially “made eye contact” with all of us through her brilliant Gestalt classes and now I vote we make her break down all the confusing, scary, and overwhelming things in life (like seeing with knits) for us. Heather and co…thank you for making these courses. I imagine thousands of hours went into their creation and it definitely shows. You have officially set the standard!

I really appreciated how deeply the course went into the different types of fabric and how to adjust your techniques, how to prepare the fabric and how to set up your machine(s) for the best results. I had sewn a few T-shirts before, with varying results, but the Amelie crew neck I have just finished is by far the best. I've now started on the v-neck version. Feeling confident!

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!
