Sewing Tips and Sewing Hints


Drop a lot of pins and needles when you are sewing?
Can't find them? Keep a magnet in your sewing basket.
The magnet will help you find the elusive needles!

Have problems with loose buttons? On buttons that have 4 holes,
sew only 2 holes at a time. Break  the thread and knot. Then, sew the other 2 holes and knot . This way, when the button comes looses on one side, the button has a chance of staying with the garment!  Also, using dental floss or elastic thread when sewing on buttons will help keep  buttons on longer.
  

Need a pin cushion in a hurray? Use a bar of soap!

Need help threading an needle?
Spray a small amount of hair spray on your finger when threading the needle and
dab on the end of the thread. This helps stiffen the thread just a tad and makes it easier to insert into the eye!
