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:
As you start to sew a seam, hold your upper and bobbin thread tails back and out of the way for your first couple of stitches. This will keep your thread from getting pulled down into the bobbin area and jamming your machine.

Sewing Quick Tip:
To extend the life of your thread – especially natural fiber thread, which can become brittle over time – store it out of the light because UV rays can cause thread to deteriorate. Also store your thread where it will be protected from dust.
