Thank you for all of this series of yours. I have a good one for you that I don’t think you would’ve seen before. It’s using teflon adhesive tape for vacuum sealers. I use the quarter inch wide one. I put it on the bottom of any of my sewing presser feet when I’m sewing vinyl, leather faux leather or anything like that. It turns any foot into a Teflon foot. So if you want to use it on your zipper foot for example you just stick on the strip on the bottom of the zipper foot. Make sure you make holes for where the needle goes through, and sew away. Another one is to use a hoof cuticle pusher with a silicon tip as a nice grippy stiletto substitute. You know the kind of thing I’m talking about you use it on your nails to push your cuticles back and it normally has a soft silicone “hoof” on it. Another thing you can do if you have an older machine that doesn’t have LEDs, but just a dim lightbulb. You can upgrade the lighting on your Sewing Machine by swapping out your lightbulb with an LED one. For my Bernina 1260, I searched for the right one by looking for car indicator light bulbs. Make sure you match the wattage voltage diameter and type of fitting such as bayonet or screw in. You should find information on your current lightbulb in your instruction manual. Then just search for the LED replacement and it should come up. Works like a charm on my old Bernina. If you don’t have any serviette rings to store fabric, stabiliser. Et cetera, then you can buy slap bracelets. Very cheaply.
These are all great ides! My kids are done with orthodontic braces, but we have a few of those little orthodontic wax cases leftover with the wax still. I stick half a stick of the wax at one side of the case, poke my retired sewing needles into it to keep my used needles from falling out and poking me or roll around and get lost on the floor. They stay in the case! Also, extra wax sticks are great for sticking somewhere convenient on your sewing machine to temporarily keep your fabric pins as you’re sewing.
Just yesterday before watching this video I decided I needed a silverware tray to put tools, pins, etc in while sewing. Then I watched the video and my idea popped up. Now to find an extra tray in the house or to buy one. I have vision problems now at 83 so threading my machine needle is hard. I have found that if I put a small piece of white paper behind the eye of the needle it makes it easier for me to thread it.
Excellent tip. Thank you
Lots of great ideas. The needle threader using paper squares is a game changer. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Glad it helped. I’m getting more blind each day so this is gonna come in handy for me :)
you are the best sewing you tuber that I have come across
Many machines come with a button foot. I am now planning to organize my whole button box. A great rainy-day project. Temu sells heat-erasable markers...fine point, multi colors, WITH REFILLS. I keep my heat tool close, using it to erase mistake, or remove marks on non-washables. They have become my favorite notion ever. Also - PILL BOTTLES. I take a lot of meds, hence many bottles every month. My fave is keeping my water-soluble thread separate and dry.
Such clever ideas. I LOVE the adjustable silverware organizer.
And I might use that bouillon jar for a spool of thread +
the matching bobbin while I’m working on a project.
The silverware tray was one of my favs too :)
One of your videos mentions using "book rings" (split rings with a hinge) to hang related things. Note that these ring come in different sizes. I have some DMC rings that are 2.5" and are intended to store DMC plastic and cardboard bobbins that are used for hand embroidery floss. You can store a _lot_ more things on bigger rings!
Oh yeah good idea!
I sew primarily garments, and I use an umbrella stand for all of my bigger rulers and things like French curves and L-rulers.
Thanks for sharing more great ideas!
You’re so welcome
Sewing buttons onto playing cards would be great for keeping a set together. I cut buttons off shirts that I buy at thrift stores purely to use the fabric for other things. I have a jar full of buttons from those. I’ll be sorting them out this weekend and sewing the sets onto cards!!!
I remember being a kid sorting buttons for my mom. Wish she would have organized them on cards. Lol
I learned to sew in 4-H, a neighbor taught us. We met weekly and discussed several different hobbies each of us had.
@sherrydarling9626 that’s awesome. I know some communities in the US still have 4-H.
I have used 3x5 index cards to organize buttons.
Yes. Also, the lines on 3x5 cards have lines a quarter inch apart, for checking seam allowance…
@linvallier2269 ooo that’s cool. Didn’t know that. Now I’ve got to get some 3x5
Great ideas! Thank you for sharing! 💛🌻💛
You’re so welcome. Thank you for leaving a comment.
One thing I have already in my sewing room, at my sewing machine even I’d my needle case. I butt the end up against the thick seam and sew forward beside the needle case. When I’m past the seam , I can take it out and continue.
Sounds like a good idea!
I use Planter's peanut jars to store worn rotary blades. If I need to cut paper or cardboard, it's very easy to dig out an old blade and put it back into the cutter, so I don't mess up my good blades. If you need to stitch through paper or cardboard, you might be able to re-use dull needles, too.
I remember being a kid and making my own greeting cards by taking my mom’s old used needles to sew decorative stitches in colored paper. Thanks for these added ideas and making me think of that memory
If you have multiple sewing machines, many of which use different styles of bobbins, you might consider marking all the bobbins with a dot of nail polish. I find Class 15 and Class 15J bobbins very hard to distinguish from each other, for instance. I know that the bobbins with pale yellow dots go in my Singer and the bobbins with magenta dots go in my Viking. I store my bobbins in "bobbin rings", and I can keep all the yellow-dot bobbins in the rings marked with yellow nail polish dots, for instance. Also, my machines have top-loading bobbins, so if I'm sewing along and the little dots stop moving, I can immediately see that the bobbin has run out of thread.
Oh I see so you mark with nail polish when your bobbin is getting low? I wish I could see a photo of this sorta having a hard time following. Feel free to send me a photo to my email info@SookieSews.com
The washable marker tip definitely. I wonder if you can use your iron on the steam setting to remove the marker mark from your fabric?
Worth a try
Just found your videos. Great ideas. Some I've been using for years, others were new to me. I have 2 favorite non sewing sewing toools. My favorite seam ripper is my tiny swiss army knife - it's about 2.5" long. The scissor's blade points are just th right shape and size to fit under stitches as small as 1.5. You can find them in lots of different colors and patterns and they fit perfectly in your pocket.
In one of the other videos, you used a lint roller to clean your mat. I bought a trim roller used to paint small areas and a telescoping handle. The lint roller refills fit perfectly. I use it to roll the floor around my machine to pick up threads and tiny fabric scraps.
Two great tips indeed! Thank you for sharing
A lot of my fabrics cannot be washed in hot water, but for those that can be the washable markers are a great idea! All of the other non-sewing sewing notions are great!!
That’s why I stress this so much. HOT water was required but cotton and hot water are good friends :)
Thank you clever ideas ❤❤❤
You’re so welcome.
Paper and needle trick. ❤your method would work for me.
It’s honestly super cool and I’m glad someone shared with me.
Thank you for some great idea. Will try some of them.
Please do
Thank you, @Sookie!
You’re welcome
The cloths hanger bag for trash or scraps is one I’ll definitely use. Feel almost dumb for not thinking of it myself especially since I’m moving my trash bag back-and-forth back-and-forth so I’m going to hang it on the side of my sewing desk.
Me too! That’s why I love doing these videos so much because I learn from my viewers
Love the ideas on these videos.
Glad you enjoy! They are fun to make and share
Skokie, you could also use a lint roller to remove the loose threads after ripping a seam. 😊
For sure. We cover that in another video. It’s cool to know there’s lots of ways
the cutlery organiser would be great for zips or embroidery thread
I tape a plastic bag to my sewing table with painters tape,for threads and rubbish,then full straight in the bin
I used to do that with a brown lunch bag!
Yes that works too
When I teach live classes we do that the students
For the containers. Wonder if you glue a magnet in the bottom and have them stick them on top of your machine
Interesting. Might give it a try
Careful! Magnets can interfere, even destroy computer 'intense' sewing machines.
I have a question. Do you have a tip for bobbins to keep the thread from unraveling while in the storage container. I always have loose ends of bobbin thread. Just wondered if you have a good tip. Thank you and love your videos!
Love the bobbin idea thanks
You’re welcome
When you cut up fabric for bags and notions for it
Sure :)
I never did get the mark out of a good pair of pants that were made by a dry erase marker.
That’s too bad.
Did you try using hydrogen peroxide?
If the eye of the needle is large enough to push the paper through then it should be large enough that threading it without the paper shouldn’t be an issue.
Yes exactly :)
