My favorite sewing tip is to rough cut around the pattern pieces first. Copy them on your copier/printed and print. If your pattern piece wears out you have a back up.
My favorite sewing tip is to store my patterns, cut & uncut, in sleeve protector pages. Then put them into 3-ring binders with index tabs. Index the patterns alphabetically. Each different doll/size has its own binder. Super easy to store, easy to keep all pieces together, easy to find what you need.
If you are having problems with your machine stitching properly try changing your needle first before trying to adjust anything. Often this will solve your problem. Also, buying fabric and sewing fabric are two separate hobbies!
My favorite tip/trick is to use the 1/4" double sided tape to hol;d tiny trims, zippers, even buttons in place to sew them in. Tried it with the SWC Zipper class and it held the zipper right where it should be till I sewed it.
My favorite tip is using a chop stick to push little pieces threw the sewing instead of using my fingers. It also works for making points when turning things right side out.
