I’ve found that if I have more than one thing I’m sewing, I can just slip the next one in under the needle as soon as I finish the first one, without cutting the thread. It helps move the project along faster, and saves thread. I then just cut the little threads that connect the pieces apart after I’m done. It cuts about 15 to 20 minutes off my time when I make several of one item.
my best tip always have extra needles and really be in the mood to sew nothing goes right if you are not….. you can do anything if you are
A favorite sewing tip i have to use regular printing paper to put underneath your fabric when embroidering. Pieces turn out with much smoother edging. Adhesive sprays are also a huge help when embroidering together individual pieces right sides facing outward.
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to keep everything you’ll need handy and have good lighting.
My favorite sewing tip is to use a scrap of fabric from the garment to test my stitches first and then use it to sew off of to start the seam. It gives me something to grab hold of to keep the fabric from getting pulled down in the bobbin area.
