My favorite sewing tip is -— Have Plenty of Light. Sewing works better when you can see what you are doing.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is…use the right speed on the machine. When teaching new beginners they often let the machine get ahead of them.
And…all the other wonderful tips mentioned already. :)
My favorite sewing tip is to use Udderly Smooth hand cream. Original Udderly Smooth Udder Cream is a greaseless, stainless water-based moisturizer that will not stain or leave a residue on your fabric. Especially good this time of year when hands are dry.
When working with faux fur:
1.trace the pattern on the wrong side of the fabric with ink.
use a craft knife or box cutter to gently cut through the lines. Pull the pattern piece away from the main fabric. The fur will separate easily. This is great for long fur that you want to hang over the edge of the hem. No more cutting off the fur edges with scissors. The pieces look better and there is less fiber mess to clean up when you’re done.
