Sequins are a BIG part of special occasion sewing but they can be a real pain to work with. So much so, that many of us have (repeatedly) looked the other way and passed on the opportunity to add sequin sparkle to our holiday garments for fear of failure and headache.
The biggest issue with sequins is that, in order to really do it correctly, you need to completely remove the individual sequins from the seam allowance. That way you avoid having the extra bulk and you can sew a proper, accurate seam allowance to get just the right fit and shape. This is SUPER time-consuming but 100% worth the effort in the long run.
