Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, these sewing rules have transformed my stitching game — and they might do the same for you!
- Measure Twice, Cut Once – Trust me, it saves fabric AND frustration.
- Press As You Sew – Don’t skip this! It makes everything look crisp and professional.
- Always Test on Scrap Fabric First – Check tension, stitch type, and needle before touching your main piece.
- Use the Right Needle for the Job – Denim, jersey, leather — each needs its own type.
- Don’t Pull Your Fabric – Let the machine feed it naturally to avoid warping.
- Keep Your Machine Clean and Oiled – A happy machine = flawless stitching.
- Pin Strategically – It’s not about quantity, but placement!
- Pre-wash Your Fabric – Avoid nasty shrinkage surprises after your first wash.
- Invest in Quality Tools – Sharp scissors, a good iron, and reliable thread make a world of difference.
- Patience is Part of the Process – Mistakes are lessons in disguise. ❤️
