My favorite tip or trick is pinning the pieces well. It takes a bit more time but I like the results better then when I get in a hurry and don’t pin.
My favorite sewing trick is to press as you go. Everything looks so professional when you do that. The other important part of sewing for me is to sit comfortably. I find myself perching on the edge of my chair sometimes and I can hear my mom’s sweet voice telling me…Sherry you are perching again!! :) I smile every time I think of that! :)
My favorite sewing tips—have the right size needle. Make sure your bobbins have enough thread. Have a trash can/or bag close to your sewing area. Check for pins after your item is completed. Make sure you know where your fingers are at when cutting or sewing. Close your rotary blade before setting it down after you have made a cut.
My best recommendation is to take my time when sewing small items like doll clothing. When I feel rushed I do not sew my best and make mistakes. I use my 1/4 in. patchwork seaming foot to keep my seams precise
My favorite sewing tip is cutting multiple pieces at one time and placing them in the order of sewing. This is a time saver and multiple items are produced.
