My favorite tip for sewing is to tilt your scissors slightly to your right while cutting around corners or tight spots . This will enable you to cut close to the pattern not leaving a space.
My favorite tip is to always stitch on a scrap piece of the fabric you will be using first to ensure the thread is a match, the needle is in perfect condition, and the tension is where it needs to be.
My favorite sewing trick is to so as many pieces that I can in a continuous line with a space between each so not to cut the thread on the machine,this could be two different outfits using the same color thread, then press alll the pieces and continue again. Thank you
Press as you go. I use a old wooden T.V. tray that I keep next to me and my machine. I covered it with batting and scrap fabric. Works like a champ!
My favorite sewing tip is “measure twice, cut once”!! Has been a blessing for me!
