I use a chopstick for the point turner (even cheaper). I use the Crayola washable marker pack to do marking. It always washes out of fabric and variety of colors work with different fabrics I pick :)

Thanks for sharing!

I like to use a Wonder Clip on my seam gauge to hold the slider in place.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

That's a great idea!

Best press cloth ever: An old cotton pillow case from your grandparents

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Love that!

@katmandu137 Год назад

Sewing nipper scissors/thread cutter. And a seam ripper.

@annafort8241 Год назад

for $2 or less - dental floss! it's great for zig-zagging over to make gathering EASY!!

@SparkyOne549 Год назад

I can buy elastic thread cheaper than $2.

@I_am_a_Lostsoul Год назад

Or yarn!

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Great tip!

@amandapotter1946 Год назад

What a fab idea! I’m going to do this regularly from now on.

@I_am_a_Lostsoul Год назад

Under 15.00 get yourself some garage lights for your lamps. They are super bright and helps if your room is especially dark.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Great tip!

@julestopper7553 Год назад

HERA MARKER and GLUE STICK! I always crease my hem folds with a hera marker before i press and sew :)

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Those are great tools!

@pmclaughlin4111 Год назад

a package of balloons (less than $1): you use them as finger cots or grippers ...for extra control when guiding fabric under the presser foot (similar to quilting gloves) or for use in hand sewing to grip needle. And a box of single edge razor blades (@$5 for a lifetime supply)...better than a seam ripper once you get the hang of them ...but a seam ripper is safer in general

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Those are some great tips!

I have a plastic bin that slides right under my serger table with: a sturdy seamripper, chalk, thread snips, an embroidery needle (for finishing serger tails), a special tool for elastic insertion. Next I have a little bin with wonderclips and a magnetic dish for my pins.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Nice! It's good to have all those tools close at hand.

@marthaparks4913 Год назад

A bodkin for threading elastic through a casing. Seam ripper for taking out stitches. Brush and oil for cleaning your sewing machine. Jeanamajig for sewing through thick seams without breaking a needle. Wrist pin holder and a magnetic pin dish.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

All great tools to have!

@mel_issa__ Год назад

I feel so lucky to have most of these, even the washers!

@lizcademy4809 Год назад

One of my favorites is a sewing awl. It has two main uses. 1. I can use it instead of my fingers to guide fabric very close to my machine's presser foot. I do this on almost every seam, especially on tight curves and corners. 2. If I need to make a small hole in my fabric, say for an eyelet, the awl will push threads out of the way instead of cutting them - much stronger. The back end of my awl is smooth and round, so I could use it to finger press too. But I usually use a fingernail.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Awls are more versatile than they seem!

@amandapotter1946 Год назад

I have a little round badge style clip that has a carabiner at the end of a self retractable line that I clip to my clothes and on the carabiner clip I attach a pair of small scissors to clip threads. Then I’m never without my scissors! I teach sewing and now I give all my students a clip as a sewing gift. They all love them.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

What a lovely gift! ❤

@bodyandsoul17 Год назад

I like a thin metal loop turner for its intended purpose as well as for pulling under serger ends. I also like a see through silk organza pressing cloth so you can see what you’re pressing.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

@michellemabelle100 Год назад

Great ideas! I like those point turners. I use a long, metal knitting needle with a blunt end - pointy enough to get the point out, but blunt enough not to poke through! But I really like those point turners too, and will add them to the kit if I see them around! They're a lot more portable than a long knitting needle. :)

@pmclaughlin4111 Год назад

Since I am a knitter, I use knitting needles more often than my point turners...If I have to iron, I usually use my bamboo ones

@VeretenoVids Год назад

I have my grandmother's seam gauge, which has a metal slider. I wish the newer ones were still metal so I don't have to worry about melting it while ironing a hem.

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

I know! The metal ones are so much nicer.

@alisonbrandon9059 Год назад

I use a magnetic tool dish from harbor freight to hold my metal pins. I don’t know if they still have these coupons or not, but I got it for free with one of their newsletter coupons🎉

@SeamworkVideo Год назад

Nice! What a score!
