Sample lesson (text-first)

A minimalist micro-lesson to show our format. No images required.

Module: Clean Hem (T-shirt)

  1. Measure current length; mark desired length + 2 cm (or 3/4 in) allowance.
  2. Press fold once to the mark, then fold again to hide raw edge.
  3. Stitch: use a twin needle or narrow zigzag; test stretch on scrap fabric.
  4. Check: hem should stretch without thread snapping; adjust tension if needed.

Quality checkpoints

  • Even stitch spacing
  • No puckering
  • Consistent seam allowance
  • Stretch test passed
