Great advice "A". Years ago I worked as a partime sewing operator in a cushion/upholstery shop. Between working that job and watching Sewing with Nancy on the weekends, l'll never forget how to stitch-in-the-ditch. Congrats on 958 subscribers. We look forward to following each new video pattern. Input is welcomed, check out the channel and see where improvements can be made. And thanks for subscribing.
Hi Amy, Your channel popped up today on my TH-cam feed and I'm so glad it did! I am new to sewing and absolutely love it. I love watching tips and tricks which I can incorporate into my sewing. Subscribed! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Scotland, UK. Regards, Jill x
Hi Jill! Welcome to the world of sewing! Thank you for subscribing! There are many talented sewing channels on TH-cam for you to learn from. Be patient with the learning process and have fun!
Great video, thank you Amy!!! I wish I had a black button, it is so much better than dealing with a hump jumper, which I use and am very grateful for, but it certainly doesn't even begin to compare to having the amazing advantages of having the black button right there for the utmost quick, precise convenience available at your fingertips when sewing bulky seams & layers😊 ... Also, I made a pincushion and filled it with Bird Grit, which sharpens birds beaks. Dipping your pins & needles into the pincushion will keep their points clean, sharpened and free of barbs. And, at times I'll swirl the pins & needles around as their points are inside the pincushion to give them an extra polished sharpness ... Thank you Amy for sharing your much appreciated sewing skills and valued expertise with us all, as we continue to learn, sew and enjoy the art of sewing together!!!
Thanks for the feedback and your pincushion tip!! I have the Bulky Seam Jumper and it works pretty good. I didn’t know that about using Bird Grit inside a pincushion. I need to try it!
@AmysSewingRoom The Bird Grit can be purchased at big box stores in their pet section and at pet stores ... Folks also use Shelled Walnuts, also found at pet stores, which is used as Lizard bedding, to fill pincushions ... The oil from the walnuts acts as a lubricant as the needle & pin points are sharpened by the walnut ground up shells ... One drawback is that some people have an NUT ALLERGY to the walnuts. So, any pincushion filled with the Shelled Walnut Lizard Bedding, should have a "Warning Label" attached to it, and/or as a sticker on the bag/wrapper if the pincushion is offered as a product or gift.
Great tips thank you. I learned what the black button is! Q. Why do you pin your pattern to the fabric your way? I’ve never seen that done on woven fabric 🦘
Great tips Amy!! Will have to try the straw trick.😊 I love your new sewing space!!❤❤
Thank you Helen!!

I learned a lot from Sewing with Nancy shows. Thank you for watching.
Regarding the pins, my mother taught me how to make a pin cushion with steel wool inside. This kept the pins sharp.
That’s a great tip! I didn’t think about the steel wool keeping them sharp.
Great tips 🙏🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thanks so much!
Thank you Amy.
I was also taught to iron my pattern pieces as well as the fabric.
I’ll give that a try! Thanks for the tip.
@@maggieireland4849 I do now too. Some times those mm make a difference.
Loved the bobby pin hack for spaghetti straps...that was so cool. Thanks for sharing.
I love that trick too! It’s a game changer!
I use make up brushes to clean my bobbin area! 😊
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Well I’ll be darned - that black button is a game changer! Thank you!
I agree!!! Thank you for watching!

The hint for the spaghetti straps is a good one. Hopefully I will remember to do this next time I have to turn something small out to the right side.
I think it’s easy! Thanks for watching.
I will have to give the straw and Bobby pin a try. I forgot about the black button. Thank you for the reminder.
You are so welcome!

Great video

Great tips thank you. I learned what the black button is! Q. Why do you pin your pattern to the fabric your way? I’ve never seen that done on woven fabric 🦘
That’s the way I was taught. I know everyone may have a different way to pin it. I want to try fabric weights.
@ thank you
lol I’ve been sewing for 50 years and two days ago was wondering what the black button on the pressure foot was for😂😂thank you!!!
I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching!
