My favorite sewing tip or trick is … to use those tiny little plastic clothes pins that you can purchase at MICHAELS, (often in the Wedding department) to hold velcro in place instead of pins that are hard to push through the velcro. It is also good to use them to hold seams but especially good to hold the velcro.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to use a small piece of printer paper (some use coffee filters) to start sewing small pieces so it doesn’t get sucked into the feed dogs. I use the paper left over after cutting out pattern pieces. After taking those few stitches, just fold the paper over the seam and pull off. It works well on all fabrics.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to iron seams before opening to set the thread, then iron as indicated in the directions (open or to one side). This keeps your seems nice and smooth.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to use a wool mat and a cordless iron when sewing; also, cutting out the pattern with a small rotary cutter and cutting mat.
My favorite sewing trick is the use of a manicure cuticle stick. I use it to hold the tiny pieces of fabric together and in place as they run through the sewing machine. It works especially well while sewing skirt gather to the bodice.
