Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: When measuring and pressing a hem, use a hem gauge to keep the top edge of the hem from pressing a
ridge into the right side of your fabric. To use the hem gauge, fold the hem of your garment over its edge and
press.
Tip #2: If you don't have quite enough fabric for your layout, try spreading your fabric out in a single layer
instead of doubling it. This will give you more flexibility in arranging your pattern pieces and you may be able to
squeeze them all in.
Note: If a project below includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include
a pattern template, it likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles) that you can easily
measure and cut yourself. And note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine.
However, if a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have just a simple zigzag
machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or adding purchased
embellishments instead.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Interfacing tip:
If you find yourself without enough interfacing for your project, you can join smaller pieces of
fusible interfacing to make one larger piece. For light to medium weight interfacing, you can
slightly overlap the edges of the pieces when fusing them to your fabric, but with heavier
interfacing, butt the edges of the pieces together to avoid bulk that can show through to the
outside of your fabric.
