My favorite tip is using 1/4 or 1/8 in quilter’s tape to hold trims/lace in place when attaching to your outfit.
My favorite sewing tip was from a teacher way back. We are always happy rippers, always doing it with a smile. I always think of her when I am ripping and it makes me smile.
My favorite sewing tip or trick for sewing doll clothes is to use a 1/4" quilting/piecing foot to sew scant quarter-inch seams consistently and quickly. My second favorite tip is that when I sew corners on collars and such, to get a really nice point, without any bulk or bunching, is to sew to the corner, then take one stitch diagonally, then make the right turn to go to the next side of the corner. I trim the sewn sides of the collar, with the under-cover seam width slightly cut at a slightly narrower width. Lastly, I also cut the dog ear triangle from the corner, near to the diagonal stitch, but not through it, before turning the collar right-side-out.
My favorite tip – is when there’s an oops!!! REMEMBER – this is a creative opportunity – don’t look at it as a mistake. Maybe you cut it down for a smaller doll, maybe the sleeve set in wrong looks great and it’s time to make the other one match. Let your imagination flow!
My favorite sewing tip is to read the instructions as you go along, especially if it’s a pattern you are using for the first time. Don’t assume because you have done something similar before that it’s going to be done the same way this time and that you don’t have to read the instructions. I have been guilty of this and had to remove stitches and redo.
