ALWAYS read direction all the way through before starting any project :)
My favorite sewing tip is to keep a small ceramic bowl next to my sewing area to throw loose threads and small scraps of fabric into while I’m sewing, This keeps my sewing area clean and is easily emptied after each project.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is keep your sewing room well organized. I know it is a hard task so to help make it easier for me I use photo boxes with a name plate and I mark each box of what is inside (zippers, ribbons, trim, velcro, snaps, etc). I also use mason jars for my buttons and hung them on the wall so it is easier to see the colors. Another trick is to put your scraps in a see-through plastic container (this is especially handy while doing applique or in the hoop projects). Keeping your materials and notions organized cuts down on time. I don’t know how many times I wasted time looking for everything and by time I got all the materials and notions together I was exhausted and ended up not sewing as much as I planned on.
My favorite sewing tip is: printing all doll patterns on Freezer Paper to iron directly onto fabric w/no pins needed, store in clear sheet protectors in 3-ring notebooks to use over & over w/out re-printing. Also, using Wonder Tape (often trimmed in half to 1/8 inch) for perfect stitching each time w/out needing to rip out – WONDER-ful tape for sewing knits! ;’)
My favorite sewing tip/trick is for gathering – instead of a large running stitch I pull out a long length of bobbin and top thread and then zig-zag along it – forming a tread casing and drawstring. It is much easier to draw up into gathers and doesn’t break – ever.
