📌10 sewing tips that no book will teach you 

Something I learned years ago for making ruffling. Just pull the bobbin thread long enough for the length of the fabric. Lay it on the fabric seam line and zigzag over that thread. Now when you pull the thread to ruffle the fabric, one end is secured because it’s the bottom thread. Works really well nice.

Oh wow, this makes me cry remembering how Mom taught her little girl ❤️ to sew and knew all the tricks of a great seamstress and knitter; self-taught, she was so fast at all her crafts, and would whip up all matching shirts and pants and sweaters by hand, for her family before she got her Singer. She had so much energy and always made time for each of us; she was so maternal and loved us so much! We were the luckiest 4 kids! Mom knitted in a way so efficiently that she could produce many toques and beanies, gloves and socks for homeless people. It was so enjoyable to take Mom and her knitted items to the street and hand them out. Mom was an amazing woman and gorgeous as can be and I miss her terribly every day! A hospital in Arizona killed my Momma with the death protocol 14 months ago; took her beautiful life with a lethal dose of drugs and intentional harm. 💔 This video brought back some beautiful memories of what Mom knew and loved to teach. Thank you; we all need to be grateful for the beautiful people in our lives! ❤️❤️

Sharing tips and tricks is how we all become better seamstresses. Thanks

“Problem” nr 4: You can avoid thread bunching with even more simple trick, always hold the thread ends when you start to sew, just for couple stitches. This is like the very first stuff youre told when learning to sew, so this shouldnt be a problem in the first place. If your book or teacher neglects to tell this, you need to find better ones!

Благодарю за интересное видео.❤ Продолжайте дальше. 🎉 А для тех кто пишет поучительные коментарии хочу сказать, снимайте своë видео, мы с удовольствием его посмотрим ❤

Спасибо! Какие отличные идеи! Особенно с молнией для хранения наушников! Супер❤

In the first case you don't have to use a jar. Near the place where your thread spool was there is a hole - it is made specifically for larger thread spool. All you have to do is to attach the spool pin vertically, the additional spool pin usually goes with a sewing machine

Вставьте в банку непарную спицу предворительно закрупив свободный клнец подобно крючку иполучите напровляющую для нити иобезопасите маховое колесо❤❤

Dankeschön für die tollen Tipps und auch Anregungen. ❤❤❤

MUCH faster way to sew my Christmas gift bags! Thanks!

Мне понравилось видео! А для тех, кто считает, что это "бред", пусть не смотрит. А то только поумничать умеют!

Your tips are good. Never place a spool of thread close to your hand wheel. It can easily get caught in the hand wheel and cause a multitude of problems

Молодец, спасибо,РОССИЯ САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГ.❤❤🎉

The zig-zag scissors trick is brilliant. I use this for rounded corners on lined pockets and collars, perfect every time. Just make sure your initial stitching is accurate.

Always backstretch at beginning and the end of your sewing item😊❤

Я шью и подкладываю маленький лоскуток в конце строчки, чтобы строчку на нем закончить. Нить обрезаю между тканью и лоскутиком. Тогда получается, как в ролике с красной тканью: следующий шов на ткани начинается ровный и нитки лишние обрезать не надо.

Начало вообще прекрасно! И песня и видео❣💕💖

Also can use a cup to keep the spool in place and place it in the back no at the side as you did.

The pinking shears! Brilliant

Que genial. Jamás se me hubiera ocurrido. Hoy mismo lo hago ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Gracias por enseñar

Have you had the mole on your left hand checked by a dermatologist? I recently had surgery on my leg to remove a melanoma. The spot was the same size as your mole. 🙏🏼

Some observations in using a lidded jar for cone thread: 1. If the the hole in the lid isn't smooth enough it can snag the thread making it weaker, preventing it from fully being pulled out of the container possible causing it to break. 2. Because the thread being pulled out of a tiny hole in a lid and rubbing along the sewing machine body, it could cause tension issues. 3. If you place the lidded container in the same place each time, it's well known the thread will wear grooves on the plastic sewing machine body - it's why manufacturers put metal pieces wherever the thread passes continuously, to prevent grooves in the plastic and why upright spool holders are available for most sewing machines. Or why a stand alone, heavier, countertop spool holder is preferable. Great idea if the hole in the lid is smooth enough and this technique isn't done too often. Needles in a pen - there's nothing keeping the needles from coming out. If the pen gets knocked off a table and onto the ground, how many needles will come out? If someone needs a pen and grabs it with the nib facing down to write, how many needles will drop out of it? How many needles could land on a person's foot or in carpet? Not a smart idea. However, if you used a pen with a cap - brilliant idea! Using pinking shears in place of notching curves is well known among sewists - I discovered it because it was in one of my sewing books. Doing gathers the way you've shown - my sewing books also have this method. They discuss using dental floss and yarn in place of regular sewing thread. You aren't using a pressing cloth on the shiny fabric (appears to be velveteen) when adding the hemming tape. In your video you are ironing on the inside where it won't show but it's a good idea to learn to use a pressing cloth on napped fabrics to prevent iron marks on the fabric. Some hem tapes don't stretch, using them on stretchy fabric can prevent the fabric from moving correctly and can eventually cause the tape to fail. You should put somewhere in your video to use the correct type of hem tape. Cute shirt panel with the pleats and lace. I've been enjoying your videos for a long time but this go around you missed the mark on a couple of things - some new sewists won't know they could be making problems for themselves by following what you've shown in this video.

Great ideas. The gathering was so easy.

Merci pour tous vos conseils. ❤❤❤

I have been doing this for years, where have you been??

Да, хорошие идеи, спасибо. Но есть маленькое"но". В случае петлёной закрепки в начале шитья на машинке с автоматической обрезкой нити ,если вы начинаете шить как в этом примере, не забывайте ставить закрепку, когда переходите на основную ткань. И ещё один момент. Приклеивать припуски и обтачки на флизофиксовую ленту можно только велюр! Обратите на это внимание. Бархат нельзя утюжить и тем более проклеивать! Его можно только отпаривать вертикально с изнанки.

Não esqueça, coloque um pouco de talco junto com as agulhas e alfinetes
