If a project includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include a pattern template, don’t despair! It likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles) that you can easily measure and cut yourself.
Note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine. But don’t let that discourage you! 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:
Choosing Thread for White Fabrics:
When sewing white fabric, choose your thread color as carefully as you would any other color because there can be subtle shade differences even among white threads.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Because metal sewing gauges are so thin and flexible, they can easily bend out of shape. And a bent sewing gauge can take inaccurate measurements. So if you have one that’s seen better days, get rid of it. Sewing gauges are cheap and easy to replace.
