My favorite sewing tip or trick is using my even-feed presser foot to sew almost everything, but especially slick or fuzzy fabrics.
“My favorite sewing tip or trick is putting a folded piece of paper just behind the starting edge of my project that I have to sew. I then take a few stitches on this folded paper and my threads do not get tangled and I can continue to sew my project. The material edges do not go down into my bobbin area and the threads are easily cut off after I finish the seam leaving my project perfect. The extra paper helps my machine feed the material under my pressure foot.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is using sewing clips, which I discovered a year ago. I used a lot of pins to pre-pin my pants, tops for sewing.
My favorite tip is use freezer paper for small patterns. Just press it on – no pons needed
Some of my favorite sewing tricks are the ones I find here on this page. Ironing thin interfacing on the back of pattern pieces before using to make them more reusable, I have always found pressing as you go very helpful, sewing hems, and trims on flat items before gathering waistline, NEVER sew when tired or distracted, zig-zagging over dental floss for easier gathering, and lining bodices and to zig-zag over seams when working with fabrics that tend to unravel easily.
