    I use a plastic adhesive wall hook from the dollar store! I stick it on my machine and use it as a seam guide to keep my stitches straight!

    ooooooooooo naughty girl! All your trimmings & little pieces of fabrics should go into an old pillow case & when full sew it closed & take it to the local animal shelter as a bed, they love them! I put my pillowcase in a waste basket as a liner! Love all your other ideas tho! Fantastic!!!

    Wow, I'm 65 and I'm still learning new things. Not sure which one of these I like the best, but I'd have to say using plastic placemats for templates I use a lot is probably close to #1!

    I got an clothespin bag from the dollar store - the type with wire hanger for the line and boning around the edge to hold it open - I turned the wire around, and set it under my serger, hanging off edge of desk, to collect all my scraps. When not using the serger, it hooks onto my cabinet. Having something close by for scraps is so helpful!

      I have a mat under my sewing machine. I use it to push my machine out of the way.
      I prefer actual bobbin cases as I have about 20 bobbins. Much nicer to have more bobbins as they have colors of projects on them. I have 5 dedicated bobbins for white thread and 5 for black thread. I keep my scissors in front of my machine so they are never lost.
      I find most of the ideas in this video also on other videos. I have yet to find one that I would use.

    the just cotton is not 100% cotton. its a polyester cotton blend 85/15. weird to name it "just" cotton, since it's definitely not "just cotton".... super puzzling, right?

    I like the idea of using thicker mats for patterns. They’re not as slippery.
    Unfortunately what used to be a $1.00 before is now $1.29 to $1.49 or more. They should rename the stores. 😮
