My favorite sewing tip is the put a post it note on my machine noting the date and needle size/type of the needle as I put it into the machine.
My sewing tip is to use your rotary cutting tool for any straight lines you have on a pattern—short and long sleeves and hems lines. You’ll have a nice crisp line for measuring your hems.
I combine my love of sewing doll clothes and going to garage sales. It’s surprising how much nearly new fabric you can find in gently used clothing. Prom dresses make elegant doll gowns, leather jackets can be used for shoes, chaps, jackets, etc., used sweaters make fun warm clothing for dolls, and the embellishments you can find are unlimited. I have sewn for over 65 years, won several awards, attended many work shops and retreats but I love reading all of your comments and always learn something. This website really turns my crank!! Thank you all.
My favorite sewing tip is just to get started. Once started, it’s hard to stop!
My favorite sewing tip is to always use a walking foot when sewing knits. You get a neater seam and much less stretching.
