That was a great set of tips! I just started learning to sew and one big thing I've learned is the sewing community is so great at sharing and teaching. There's an ongoing feeling of generosity and willingness to share among sewists (is that a word). Maybe we all need to start sewing....make the world a nicer place to be be in. Anyway, thanks for such an informative video. I learned some really cool stuff!
We lost my mother 3 years ago to breast cancer, anyway, she was a GREAT seamstress and she left me her good scissors. She told me if I used them for any thing other than fabric, she would come back and clobber me 😲😍. And, I believe she would. Thanks for the tin foil tip for sharpening my scissors. 🤗
My 3 year old granddaughter painted some river rocks for fun. I use them as pattern weights. If you have a pretty dish or saucer put a magnet on the bottom and it makes a great pin tray.
@Valerie Kushner My favorite is a lovely Lenox tea cup, bought at a yard sale, adapted for use in my sewing room. Love that I’m able to utilize such a nice piece of bone China for something I use everyday.
I like that you don't have a bunch of babble before your video; you get right to the point. Loved the wax paper hack; haven't heard that one before but will definitely be using that one.
Thank you for the tips. I really love the tip about taping the ruler to the edge of your table to make measuring and cutting easier. Ingenious! That's why I look to the experts for great advice. :-)
Thanks for the great tips. I have been scared to sew knit and have avoided it at all cost. After watching your video I found a roll of stay tape in my sewing notions and dove in. I changed the neckline on a t shirt and made it more scooped. I used stay tape and a decorative stretch stitch and love it. I plan on using your serger threading hack too. Thank you for the inspiration and have a blessed day.
My grandmother's way of keeping straight pins sharp: make a pin cushion and stuff it with fine steel wool. Every time you put a pin in it, it sharpens the tip.
Woah, woah! Where have I been?! That 2 pencil seam allowance literally made me smack my head like- how did I not know this? Haha thank so much! Love your channel! X
Love these tips! On the magnetic pin hack: I had some leftover magnetic “tape” (it’s a magnet strip with a sticky side) that I got for markers to stick onto my whiteboard. I took a few strips of that and stuck it on my sewing machine- super convenient to stick my pins right on my machine while I’m taking them out to sew!
1. Your intro and music are teriffic-upbeat, quirky and perfect volume. 2. You have a lovely voice and use it well. Your enthusiasm and professionalism are combined excepionally with your demonstrations-clear, concise and thorough. 3. Your tips are fresh and relevant to many types of sewing. I am a 20-year professional boat canvas fabricator and I use some variation of all the tips you covered here and it all makes a difference in the ease of fabrication, enjoyment of process and quality of end product. The waxed paper hack is new to me and I look forward to trying it out! A tip I learned years ago from another fabricator in using double-sided tape -- instead of cutting end when you've put a strip down on fabric, hold down end with your thumb and tear off. That stretches the tape a bit and loosens the carrier paper so it lifts right off rather than having to use a pin to lift the paper. Thanks for the excellent video! You're doing a reat job😎
Some cool ideas. My favourite tip is when overlocking, I only ever change the left hand needle thread to the colour of my project, as that's the only stitch that might be seen from the outside, and the other threads I just leave as white or black. Yeah, it's not as neat on the inside as having all matching threads, but I'm the only one who sees it and it saves a lot of time, plus you only need to buy one normal sized spool to match your project, instead of buying 4 big cones, so it's especially good if you're sewing something in an unusual colour.
ThatRomyKate Thanks for this awesome tip. I'm just starting to use a serger and what to hem some things but didn't t want to send a ton of money trying to buy every color I needed. You saved me lots of money and storage space (that I don't have).
I'm glad I wasn't the only one taken aback by seeing her re-threading her whole machine. I only own white and black serger thread. Like really.....who's looking inside your handmade clothes to see if your serging matches? Most people are going to be astounded that you can sew a straight line, let alone a whole garment!
Agree with the "white and black" threads only. I took it one lazy step further and bought a second serger (overlocker), one loaded with white thread and one loaded with black thread. That way, I avoid having to rethread the machine unless I run out of thread.
Oh my.. I have been sewing for decades.. I used the tie a knot attaching and threading a new color in the serger.. BUT I usually had difficulty because I did not turn my tension to "0". Thank you. AND the 2 pencils banded together! fabulous. Thank you.
Adding the measuring tape to the tables is a great idea. I can't cut straight, so thank you for sharing your take on this. I also liked the painters tape on the sewing machine. Thanks you so much for sharing this video, you have help me a lot with solutions to help me with my sewing.
No matter how long you have been sewing or just getting started a Libary of Tips and Tricks never goes wrong I had totally forgot about the two pencil trick for seam allowances and What a GAME CHANGER again for me THANK YOU now I am hooked on your channel!
Oh NO he had the b!#/s to say the carpet was FABRIC? I don't know what I would've done - died llaughing or killed him! GREAT story, though - and he knew IT, too, the dirty scissors-sneaker!
Great hacks! Thanks! One for you ... condition hand sewing thread to keep it from tangling by running the length of your cut thread between your fingers that have a little bit of chapstick on them. Looking forward to more of your videos 👍🏼
I loved this video. Ironing the freezer paper pattern to the fabric is a capital idea and one I will try. I saw so many ideas here that make sewing tasks so much easier, thanks for posting the video. 😊
Thx so much for these! I grew up w super crafty parents, but i was too hyperactive to learn. (My mom made all our clothes in the 80s. Super cringy now. There's a pic of my sis, bro and I in matching outfits.) Now, I would kill for that time back, to learn to sew, knit, crochet, etc from a stay at home mother.
My mom made a lot of my clothes when I was growing up too! My favorite part of it was picking out the material! Lol. This was back in the early 70s to 1982. Lol
Thanks for a clean and fast video. I am used to watching more technical videos and just starting to watch sewing videos. The one things that bothers me is that sewing videos are so long and so much talking about unimported stuff. This is one of tbe first videos that is just great to watch. Quick and usefull. Thanks a lott
The weights for patterns! I just became allergic to nail polish and did not want to throw it out. So now it is the perfect binder for my new weights. Gracias.
This was great! I don’t know why I never thought to affix a measuring tape to the table..and the two pencils trick is perfect. I was also taught to look at the fabric and not the needle to sew a straight line as another commenter said. Two of the best hacks I’ve learnt is 1. Needles have a front and back. Thread through the front. The thread won’t go throttle back, so turn the needle around. 2. When changing machine thread, knot the new thread to the old, then pull the new thread through to the needle/up from the bobbin. Never worry you’ve forgotten how to thread your machine again. Now I’m off to binge-watch the rest of your vids!
maya'smomhere: Thanks so much for the tin-foil idea!!! I just sharpened two pairs of Pinking Shears which have puzzled me in that direction for years!!! Kudos!!! Love, anonymousmom
Another tip we tell people at the fabric store I work at: If you have a table with a center leaf, pull the table apart slightly and use the gap as a cutting groove for cutting with scissors. That way you get a super straight cut! Helpful when you're try to divide fabric especially.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 now I'm here in damn Algerian trying to figure out how do we call it here (it's either in French IR in RUINED FRENCH THAT NO ONE CAN KNOW IT'S FRENCH !!
ironing wax paper patterns on fabric is a great tip, also the aluminum foil scissor sharpening trick, I also know that using plastic wrap sandwiched between a napkin and cardstock then ironed will create a bond for card making crafts, of course don't touch the wrap to the iron for this hack.
I've just read two other tips: Hair spray the thread & let dry. Wet (lick) your finger and wet behind the needle -- apparently the moisture will pull the thread through! Apparently!!
susan rodgers ....don’t watch the video if it bothers you so much.....there are other videos out there that you may like better.....I’m sure you wouldn’t hurt people’s feelings that way. Thank you and God bless you.
Granny of Many, really,... you tell them honey! Besides! God has way to much to handle to worry about such things. I don’t see him liking how she used his name to be so petty to someone who was trying to help others, though. 🤨
It's always fun to watch sewing hacks/tips videos, because I always learn something new! :D I have a little tip for you that I thought you would mention when you talked about the scissors: Tie a little ribbon around the handle on the sewing scissors, that way you (and everybody else) knows exactly which ones are for sewing!
It is a specialized machine that both cuts and finishes the edge of seams at the same time. If you look at any store-bought garment seam, you will see stitching and no raw edges inside the garment. That is done by a serger.
JazakAllah Khairun for these tips. I have been sewing for more than half my life & didnt even think many off these myself. Ace. Brilliant. Amazing. Fantastic. 👌👍👏🎖✔💡💐.
When I was learning to sew at school, we had to purchase pin cushions that had a little emery bag attached to sharpen our pins. But your soap bar works well not only for pins but screws too - it really makes using a regular screwdriver to fasten them down so much easier. Your two pencils is great - such a time saver if you like to draw up your own patterns!

I agree, I appreciate people who give their time and talents to help others, but I get tired of all of the jabber and the cheesy music.
I've been sewing for forty years and I learned three things from you! I especially love the freezer paper hack. Thank you!
👍
New at sewing! Never been taught - 43 yrs old and teaching myself. Love the painter tape trick !!!
You can also get a guide that has magnets that will stick to the base if you have a metal machine. (all my machines are metal; No plastic)
Thanks. I am 63. Been sewing for years. Never too old to learn something new. #WonderTape.

always fun when your husband grabs your fabric scissors from the sewing room to cut CARPET. his justification was that it was fabric...

Hello my friend?
Another good tip for sewing straight is to look at the fabric as you're sewing and not at the needle.
I am so focused on making sure the edge is lined up with the guide that I will sew 4-5 inches after I've run out of bobbin thread!
Yes, or line the side of the presser foot up with the edge of the fabric and keep it that way!
I love the plastic taping idea for straight sewing as a beginner. I've never seen the colorful one like that, so neat.
The pencil hack is so simple but so effective! Thanks :D
Oh my god, that serger thread hack is BRILLIANT
This is so good. Throwing this up on my beginners sewing resource ☺️
