sewing techniques & garment time

I have learned different sewing techniques for hand sewing and machine sewing. One of the techniques i learned for the machine is seam allowance, that is very important because when you are making garments or other stuff, someone will want a certain seam. The different measurements on the machine are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 1/4, and these other measurements are not on the machine and they are 5/8, 7/8 so you have to use a piece of tape to mark where it is so you don't mess up. Other techniques i know are for hand sewing and they are invisible slip stitch and whip stitch also herringbone stitch. All of these you are going to use for making garments and this takes time, so if you ever decide to try and make something you have to have the patience to learn the techniques and if you mess up you can't get angry because it will show in your work. Now that i know how long it takes to learn and make things i respect the fashion industry a lot more.
