How To Sew Heavyweight Fabrics Comfortably

September 29, 2020 by Harshitha Leave a Comment

Tips To Sew Heavyweight Fabrics:

If you want to sew heavyweight fabrics comfortably by hand, then there are various things that you can do to make your work easier. You should start to sew the heavyweight fabrics strong tools so that you can move them easily through fabrics like denim, canvas, wool, or even leather.

With the help of some useful tools and a bit of patience, you can sew your thick fabric in no time.

3 Methods To Sew Thick Fabrics

Method 1:

Use Right Tools

1. Choose The Needle That Is Of Size 4 Or Larger

Depending on the fabric type on which the sewing is to be done, needles are used that come in different sizes. So, first pick out the needle that is of size 4 since the size 4 needle works best on thicker fabrics like upholstery, denim, or canvas.

When you visit a craft store, you can see all the packages of the needles and choose the needle you wanted as the needle’s size remains retained on them.

A needle of size 4 is best for denim, and a needle of size 3 is best for working with leather fabrics.
On the packaging itself, many needles will tell you for which type of fabric they are best for.
For thick fabrics, choose a wedge point needle-like vinyl or leather to pierce the heavy fibers more easily, and for other fabrics like canvas, choose a sharp tip for woven.

2. Opt For Heavy Duty Thread Or Upholstery To Sew Thick Fabric

For your thicker fabric, choose a heavy weight thread so that it won’t tear. Search for threads labeled as “extra strong” or “upholstery weight” or something that is similar for your project.

Matching with your fabric, choose a heavy weight thread color.

3. Try To Use A Sewing Awl For Sewing Heavyweight Fabric Quickly

To sew the thick fabric in a much easier way, use a sewing awl, which is a small tool in size. Feeding the thread through the hole put the needle in the awl.

Using the needle punch a hole all the through your fabric and pull the thread out from the bottom. Since the thread is attached to the sewing awl’s needle, this process will be easy to do.

If you are working with leather or canvas, a sewing awl is a great tool.

4. Thread Should Be Waxed To Make It Slide Through The Thick Fabric Easily

Buy the wax for your thread, which is popularly known as the thread conditioner. To make the thread slick, slide the thread through the wax. It will make the process of moving through your thick fabric for the thread to be easy.

After the thread is waxed, pull the yarn through the needle.

5. To Protect Your Finger From The Sewing Needle, Use A Thimble

While sewing something from hand, it can be easy to prick your finger with the needle. To protect your finger from accidental pokes, wear a thimble on the pointer finger on the opposite hand that you use to sew.

Search for a thimble at a big box store or at a local craft.

Method 2:

Choosing A Stitch And Seams

1. Use Backstitch

For doing a backstitch, poke your needle through the fabric from the back and come up through the front. Through the fabric, bring the needle back down about 1 cm (0.39 in) away from the original stitch. Later, pull it back up through the fabric another 1cm (0.39 in) away from the stitch.

Start a loop back down into the fabric located right next to your first stitch and then continue this process for the backstitch.

For thick and heavy weight fabrics, the backstitch is a great stitch as it is simple and holds the fabric tightly in place.

2. Catch Stitch, Sew Your Fabric To Join The Heavyweight Fabric

Catch stitch is made in a line along the fabric’s edge by sewing zig zags next to one another. This stitch is sewed in such a manner so that the stitch overlaps the folded edge of the fabric.

3. Baste Stitch To Sew Thick Fabric Quickly

By threading a needle, weave the needle in and out of the fabric in a straight line. A space of about 1 cm (0.39 in) is to be left between each stitch while stitching for a quick and easy baste stitch.

Sewing a baste stitch is not a heavy-duty option, but it will help you to keep your fabric together.

4. Bias Bound Seam To Cover The Edges Of Thick And Heavyweight Fabric

At a craft store, pick out a bias binding that matches with your heavy weight fabric. Sew the bias binding onto the edge of the thick fabric in order to hide it using a straight stitch. This is the best way to create a smooth edge.

5. Opt For French Seam For An Invisible Sewing Job

By sewing the seam on the inside of your project, make a French seam so that it cannot be seen. Moreover, your fabric should be folded along the seam. It means it should be done in such a manner that they remain hidden and face one another. Later, you need to sew a seam down them.

Along the seam, trim your fabric, and you can also iron it so that it remains flat and then sew another seam to finish it off. Pins must be used, which will help you to hold the fabric in place while sewing.

Method 3:

Press And Hold The Fabric

1. Iron The Edges And Fold To Keep In Place

Fold the edges of the fabric where sewing is to be done and then use an iron to cease them so that the thick fabric remains folded. Between your fabrics, lay a cloth and then iron it to protect your fabric.

Lay a cloth on the top by folding the edges before using the iron.
Avoid touching the hot sections of the iron in order to protect yourself from burning.

2. Use Pins To Hold The Folds Together As You Sew

Through the thick fabric, push long pins to hold the folded edge or several pieces of fabric together. Through the fabric, slide the pins and then remove them carefully once you have done sewing in the specific area.

Be very careful and attentive while using the pin and do not poke yourself with the pin when you are pushing it through the fabric.

3. Use Clips To Hold The Folds If Your Fabric Is Very Thick

To hold together very thick and heavy weight fabric or several pieces of it, regular binding clips or something similar to that can be handy. By attaching the clips to the edge or the area you want to sew, start sewing, and then remove the clips once you are done sewing.

One might use clips to hold the folded edges of the thick fabric so that you can sew a hem.

4. Hit Thick Seams With Rubber Mallet To Flatten And Smooth Them

While using an extra thick fabric, your seams may feel bulky, especially if they cross with another seam. To help the fabric to get flattened out, tap the seam with the help of a hammer or rubber mallet. Repeat this process a couple of times to smooth out the seam so that it does not remain so thick.

Instead of worrying about what neckpiece to wear with your attire, let your T-shirt act as a choker. One of the most effortless cutting techniques is used to make the choker T-shirt.

For making this, you need an oversized T-shirt that closely fits the neck. Other than that, you need a marker and a scissor. Draw a V shape using a marker, leaving some border to act as the choker. Then cut out the marker area and stretch it out, and your choker neckline top will be ready.

Cold Shoulder And Fringe Detailed Tee:

This is another trendy T-shirt cutting technique that you can try at home in Cold Shoulder And Fringe Detail.

All you need is an oversized T-shirt (in this picture, the girl uses a cold shoulder cut T-shirt) and scissors. Cut the fringes at the end of the T-shirt and that too in a straight line, preferably. Tie the knots with those fringes gradually, and your fringe top is ready to knack up your style.

How To Cut A Big T Shirt Into A Tank Top?

You can easily make a stylish tank top from a T-shirt without the need for sewing.

To make this, you need an oversized T-shirt (preferably not see-through), scissors, a ribbon, pins, and fabric glue.

Start by cutting off both sides’ sleeves, from about an inch below your armpit to up to your neck.
Then cut the collar for creating a more comfortable neckline (you can either cut on the original seam line or go lower if you want).
Cut the back of the T-shirt, as shown in the picture.
After that, pinch and hold the two sides at the armpit to wrap using the ribbon.

After the material is banded and the edges are pinned and glued, tie a knot with the ribbon. Voila! You have a tank top ready to flaunt.

Sleeveless Low Arm Cut Vest:

The process of cutting this T-shirt is the same as the last technique. Here you have to use a longer T-Shirt so it is best to use a men’s T-Shirt of XL size or a size that will suit your figure.

For making this vest, you will also need to cut the sleeves longer than the last one for more skin exposure. This vest will be perfect for people who are into sports or dance or for those who are searching for a better gym wardrobe.

Side Knot Sleeveless Tank Top:

This T-shirt cutting technique is pretty self-explanatory, yet for the ease of readers, we will provide the process of making this. For this, you need an average size or maybe a slightly oversized T-Shirt and scissors.

Cut the entire sleeves off (both sides) and extend the cut from the armpit region to the end of the T-Shirt (vertically).

T-shirt dresses are in trend for a few years now. Instead of buying a new dress from the market, you can use your old oversized T-shirt to make a dress yourself.

Lace Detailed T-Shirt Dress:

You require a long T-shirt, scissors, a long piece of lace (for borders), a needle, and thread to make this dress. Sew the broad lace strip to the end hem of your T-shirt as well as to the hem of your sleeves, as shown in the pictures. The lace will make the dress look very elegant, and you can add a belt to your outfit to enhance the look.

Cute Cut-Out Summer Dress:

You can DIY this dress if you own a slightly longer T-shirt that you wish to modify.

For making this dress, you need a long length T-shirt, scissor, needle, and thread.

Place the tee flat on the floor or on your preferred setup.
Cut the tee into two at the crop top length from the top.
Slit the center front and joint the ends forming a loop as shown.
Then, slit the center front of the bottom half.
Take one end from above and the other end from the below of the loop of the top half.
Stitch the ends, make sure the stitch is hidden behind the wrong side.

This flirty summer dress is perfect for staying cool on sunny days.

How To Cut A Large T Shirt To Make It Smaller

Oversized Tee into Lattice T-Shirt:

To make the Lattice T-shirt, you need a T-shirt of your choice, ruler or tape, marker or chalk, and studs. Start by drawing lines on the sleeves of the T-shirt. Cut along the lines marked, just like it is shown in the image. Add studs to hold on to the stripes of fabric and create a pattern out of the vertical stripes. You can also detail the T-shirt’s end by tying a knot like it is shown in the picture. The finished look will be bold and attractive for you to flaunt in college or on a movie night.

Side Tide T-Shirt:

As you can see in the photos, a very simple T-shirt can be turned into a trendy and bold knot detailed T-shirt.

To make the knots, you need a casual wear T-shirt along with a sharp pair of scissors. Cut the sides of the T-shirt (as shown in the photos) and tie the edges cut on both sides with each other. Once all you are done tying all, then you are ready to rock your attire. This T-shirt making requires no sewing hence makes the task a child’s play.

Step 1 – Fold over one end

If your fabric frays, then press over one of the short ends by 1/2 inch (12mm) on the WRONG side. For Lycra scrunchies or fabric that doesn’t fray such as knits, you can skip to the next step.

Step 2 – Stitch

Fold the length of the fabric with the wrong side out, that is the right side facing each other after the fold. With 1/2 inch seam allowance stitch the loose ends together.

Step 3 – Turn Right Way Out

With the help of a safety pin, we pull the right side out. To do this, secure the safety pin at the corner and turn the pin around into the tube and pull the pin from inside to the other end. Similar to threading your pajama.

Step 4 – Press

If you are using a cotton fabric then give it a good press. For Lycra fabrics, just try and flatten it out a little with your fingers. The seam should be on one side of the tube so it is not easily visible.

Step 5 – Thread the Elastic

Now attach the safety pin to the elastic and thread it through the tube. Make sure you pin the first end so it doesn’t pull all the way through by mistake. Your fabric will gather on top of the elastic.

Step 6 – Stitch the Elastic

You can stitch the elastic ends to make a loop by overlapping ends or you can just knot it combining the ends. Make sure you cut an extra 1/2 inch of elastic when want to knot, so that knotting will not reduce the length.

Step 7 – Final Stitch of the Ends

Pull the elastic around so the join is hidden. Then feed the raw edge of the tube into the pressed edge. If you used Lycra fabric for your DIY scrunchie and don’t have a pressed edge then just put one end into the other. Overlap it by 1/2″ (12mm) so the inside raw edge is hidden.
