Sewing Quick Tip:
Sewing over thick bumps of fabric where several seams come together can be exasperating as we try to push or pull our fabric under the sewing machine’s presser foot, often ending up with uneven stitching.
A tool that can make this task easier is a “Jean-a-Ma-Jig” or a “Hump Jumper” (any store that sells sewing notions should carry it). It’s simply a flat piece of plastic that slides under your presser foot, giving your machine’s “feed dogs” something to grip to help move your fabric forward and keeping your presser foot level as you sew (no more pushing and pulling!)

Sewing Quick Tip:
Mark the right sides of each of your fabric pieces (you can use tape, pins, or chalk) whenever the right side isn’t obvious. This is to avoid accidentally reversing a piece and ending up with “two left sides” of a garment piece.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Layer Interfacing
When applying interfacing (either fusible or non-fusible) to your garment piece, feel free to apply more than one layer to get the degree of stiffness, body, and support you want.
