My favorite sewing trick that I have learned from sewing with cinnamon is how to make pointed crisp corners without burning my fingers and it only requires coming over the seam beforehand.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is using freezer paper to cut patterns. You trace the pattern on to the freezer paper. Then, you iron the freezer paper on to your fabric. Cut out the pieces and pull the freezer paper off. It won’t damage the fabric and it makes cutting slinky fabrics and/or difficult pattern shapes easy.
My favorite Sewing tip I measure my elastic to size I want . Stretch elastic sew on waist or what ever i’m putting elastic in. . Then turn down sew down. That way elastic can’t twist.
My favorite sewing trip is to make the pattern out of muslin to make certain it fits before I cut the fashion fabric. This is especially important if you are using a doll different than American Girl. Also American Girl measurements have changes over the years.Also important when using a commercial pattern that always seem large. I have a Fancy Nancy Doll who has really peculiar shape.
My favorite tip is to read ALL directions of the project and organize ALL supplies before you begin. Saves that trip to the store or ordering something you thought you had but didn’t.
