My favorite sewing tip has to do with the needle. Always use a sharp needle by changing them often. If you aren’t sure if it is dull, just run it over your fingernail, if it leaves a mark, it needs to be changed. If you don’t believe me, just get a new needle and do the same, it will not leave a mark. If your don’t throw awayneedle breaks, do not throw away. Keep it hanging light weight picture
My favorite sewing tip or trick is to use my rotary mat and cutter to cut all my strips of foam for shoes and boots.
My favorite sewing tip is to change needle position when top-stitching so that the presser foot is entirely on the fabric and the stitching line can be set exactly where you want it. On most machines simply change the stitch width when straight stitching. This moves the needle to the right or left as needed. This really helps when edge-stitching. Nancy
My tip is to repurpose old clothes for doll clothes when you can—especially for formal wear and denim—to use the original hems and details.
My favorite tip is use your iron! Press fabric flat before pinning and cutting and press all seams as you sew.
