Yes, I was to judgmental with the featherweight. There are obviously many problems, with the fabric and machine’s presser foot pressure. I don’t think anyone could have guided that better. All in all a very bad tutorial.

It would have been better to thread baste the entire placket to hold it flat. It’s being pushed off grain. That presser foot is pushing the placket toward the narrower side, too. It may have been better to use a wider presser foot that has more surface area to sit on top of the fabric, or to hold the shirt so the wider part of the foot is on top of the placket and stitch near the edge (rather than to have most of the foot off the placket). The Featherweight seems to be doing a good job.

not terribly expert is she? that puckering is from fabric being off grain, or pressure foot tension way too tight, or sewer not letting the machine feed the fabric on its own. whichever the case, don’t learn topstitching from this video.

I really wanted a featherweight till I seen this video, the puckering is being caused by the machine, same as my mid 90s singer used to do not the same as the much older singers, yuck!
