Glue a magnet to end of back scratcher and never bend over or get out of your chair to pick up lost pins...and no more stepping on pins with bare feet!

Get a grabber. You can reach for things and it has a magnet on the one of the grabber fingers. You can pick up pins, fabric pieces and anything that drops on the floor.

@shariont123 5 лет назад

Thanks so much for sharing this information. I shop at Dollar Tree for sewing/quilting/crafts all the time, as well as Harbor Freight. I agree that the carpet blades you can buy at Harbor Freight don't stay sharp as long, however, use some Dollar Tree foil folded up to roll the blades across to extend the life of them. At Dollar Tree, I buy the big foam core boards to cut out quilting templates for free motion quilting; you'd need to make sure that the thickness matches the recommended thickness for either your long arm or sit down domestic machine. In the teacher's section, they sale an A-B-C practice set which has a board with gridded lines behind template plastic, as well as the cheap erasable markers to practice your free motion quilting.

@eligatica 5 лет назад

Use the clear plastic sheets to create quilting design templates. Chose your design, mark it, and then use the sewing machine without thread to punch holes for the design. A size 16 needle works, but I prefer the size 18 machine needle because of the bigger hole it makes. Clean the plastic template with alcohol to get rid of any black marking lines before it goes near your quilt. Lay the template over the quilt area to be quilted and then use Pounce chalk to mark your quilt.

Karen, I have had trouble with masking tape being strong enough to hold up the tablecloth design wall. Now I have a set of command strip hooks and I stick them to the wall and then place binder clips on the top edge of the tablecloth and hook the clips onto the command hooks. It works great and the retreat venues prefer the command strips over using tape on their walls. All my retreat friends are now doing this, too. Just thought you might find this info useful.

@betrisher55 5 лет назад

Oh! One more! I haven't got space to keep a permanent design wall, so I sewed my flannel-backed tablecloth to an old 2 metre-wide holland blind (I cut off all but six inches of the original vinyl). Now, I can hang my blind roller from cuphooks screwed into the top of the bookshelf and simply roll it up (zing!) when I want to put it away. The quilt blocks stay put, even when you unroll the blind again.

Trish Brown Brilliant idea.. Jo Jo Sewist....I’m in Australia and a Holland Blind is a roll-up window shade on a sprig loaded roller so probably the same thing.

@michelevolavka1052 5 лет назад

My idea costs $0.00 - I take an empty toilet paper roll and wind my binding around it. I take a lanyard or ribbon and thread it thru, clip or tie the end together. When it comes time to bind, I hang it around my neck and it keeps the binding easy to feed onto my quilt without tangles or rolling off the table.

@lorrainedoyno7940 5 лет назад

1. You can also use the rubberized shelf liner cut in hand sized squares to use when freemotion quilting instead of gloves. No more hot hands. 2. When free motion quilting a large quilt on a domestic machine or sit down long arm take a big couch pillow put it in a large plastic garbage bag and put it on your lap while sewing. This will help to move that quilt easier that is moving across your lap.

Tunnel vision focussed on the good scissors or B. Domestic blindness which can't see any scissors at all. In point of fact, I've hidden my good scissors so well that sometimes I have trouble finding them.

@Tina06019 4 года назад

I have also put cheap scissors all over the house, include a pair I have tied to a shelf in the kitchen. These help keep my dressmaking and pinking shears safe, although I must admit my guys have always been good about not violating my sewing scissors. I always tie a piece of yellow cloth through the thumbhole of any “hands off” shears.

Use a padlock through the handles of your good scissors. You won’t have to remember where you hid them , only have to remember the combination 😃

@waynekimm2340 5 лет назад

Great tips. Try the cutting boards to stuff a pillow or other items. Roll it up and stick it into the opening you left. It keeps the opening open and easier to poke in the stuffing. If the item is long and narrow this works well too, because you can slide the length of the flexible board in further to reach the bottom the fabric tube. Begin stuffing and slide it out as you stuff.

I use the flexible cutting board in fabric purses - thinner than placemats that some patterns call for, and stiffer and MUCH cheaper than a heavy-weight interfacing. I also use a dollar tree zippered pencil holder as a traveling sewing "kit" for my projects, and a "spice rack" shelf that came with pretty, clear glass jars, to store different sized snaps, eye hooks, etc. in. The bamboo skewers are great for turning out the corners on long narrow tubes too! I also use the ziploc bags to keep my patterns in when I've made copies in different sizes, or made an alteration piece. (And great for keeping the pattern together with any special buttons, trim, zippers, or such that you bought to use specifically with that pattern!!) LOVE all the ideas everyone has shared on here!

Great tips! I've been using chopsticks for turning & as a stiletto, but I'll be using bamboo skewers from now on too! The dollar store lint rollers I use aren't refillable :( but when the lint roller sheets are all used up, I keep the roller & wrap my quilt binding around it. I secure the quilt binding with a rubber band until I'm ready to use it & then can just slowly roll out the binding as I pin it to my quilt. Thank you for being so concise & to the point.

1) Dental picks to clean out the bobbin area. 2) Door stops to raise the back side of your sewing machine so that it tilts towards you to avoid having to hunch over to see your work 3) Coiled key rings to attach your scissors to your sewing machine. Always handy and no bending over to pick them up if you drop them. 4) Bar soap - to lubricate needles and pins. Also, cut a sliver off and you can mark dark fabrics. 5) Parmesan cheese containers - once cheese is gone store thread inside to keep dust free and slip the end of the thread through one of the holes you would use to sprinkle the cheese, snap the lid and the end is always handy.

First, "BandAids" for little pricks & mishaps are a neccessary first aid item in most sewing kits, especially when we travel away from home. It's nice to have for ourselves, but even better when we can offer one to a fellow quilter in need. Second, I buy HUGE zip lock style bags from The Dollar Tree in their "laundry/household supply" aisle, not the aisle with detergents, the aisle with hangers & lingere' bags & lint rollers etc. They sell quickly, so if the store is out, check back another day. They're in blue boxes. They have 3 sizes, XL-(3 per box) are plenty big enough for quilt blocks (or scrapbook pages), XXL- (2 per box) are bigger and XXL-(1 per box) is big enough for a quilt. The bags have an oval cut out in the flange for a handle and they're sturdy & reliable.

This is what I think @reneefelts is saying: get the clear cutting mat sheets (thin plastic, used for a quilt block template in the video 4:29) and lay the entire sheet over your already pieced quilt block or fabric. Then use a dry-erase marker or sharpie to draw your top stitching lines on the plastic. This will help you to see if you like where your stitch lines will end up and the sizing before you start sewing so your quilting ends up how you envisioned it the first time you sew instead of having to pick and re-do stitches. After you are done reviewing your stitch lines, copy the lines onto your actual fabric with a water soluble marker or chalk or a pencil (whatever your normal marking method is). Then go back to your plastic sheet/chopping mat with the lines on it; The dry erase marker can be removed from the plastic with a dry paper towel or microfiber rag (both can be found at the dollar store) and the sharpie may be removed with rubbing alchohol and a rag. This lets you re-use the same sheet of plastic over and over again. I hope that helps and is correct :)

A couple of weeks ago I sewed two-six seater dollar store table cloths together. I pressed 5 large size 3M Command strip hooks at the very top of one empty bedroom wall, spaced evenly. The curve of the hooks is wide enough to hold a 1in diameter- 120inch long thin curtain rod if the end finial is small. Using the curtain rings that have a pinch clip attached, I hung the table cloth with the flannel side out. Since I can lift the rod off easily, I can push the whole design curtain across behind the door if I want to, or unclip it. The rod and hooks are white so they don’t look terrible but I can take the hooks off without damaging the wall. The hooks hold the curtain closer to the wall than rod mounting hardware would. I had previously tried taping up a cloth but it fell off and the fluff pulls off with the tape. This is nice and big and working out fabulously! Hubby is less thrilled LOL

Three long nails put in at an angle or even a rod with proper hardware work to hold the rod as well, even better, imo. The command strips if left up for more than temporary use...for long periods of time actually do more damage to the wall. It will lift part of the dry wall off as well as any paint and any texturing done to the wall. The worst is the ones with the thick sticker type on the back. Holes left by nails or screws are much easier to fix. A little spackle in a few holes, let dry and touch up paint, versus the spackle, retexturing and the painting a larger area. (Retecturing the wall is tricky and time consuming if you want it to blend properly and not detect where the hangers were previously. I have made many a repair to walls of several classrooms and bedrooms before painting them. This is when I realized I would never use those "no harm" to walls command brand thingies. I realized they are great at marketing them. Not so great at stressing the need to use them only temporarily, which is the nature of them. They truly are for only temporary use.

The store(s) u walked thru r the cleanest I’ve ever seen a dollar store. Wish they were that clean “here”.

Another alternative to quilting gloves is to use squares of the shelf liner that you used for your pedal holder. It grips well and doesn't make your hands sweat.

Could cutting a wide strip of shelf liner taped around four fingers work?

@Robgra 5 лет назад

I just use them as grips rather than wrapping them around my hand

Perhaps sew two half circle pieces together for each hand to slip your fingers into to guide a quilt or large piece of fabric/garment being sewn.

I think you are so much fun to watch! I really enjoy your videos and I don't even quilt. I sew. I still learn a lot. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Keep em coming!

The Japanese "dollar store" Daiso has a craft section that can be quite good! Little felting kits, small rolls of yarn, scissors, knitting needles, pins and cushions.... and the other items you list here! Prices range from $1.50 and up because of shipping costs, and some labels are in Japanese, but it's worth a trip!
