Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: The raw edges of knit fabrics tend to curl when cut, which can make them challenging to work with. So
to keep the edges of a knit fabric nice and flat, spray the curled edges with starch, then press them with an iron.
Tip #2: Remember that sewing machine bobbin types aren’t interchangeable. And using the wrong type of bobbin
for your sewing machine can lead to stitch problems. Therefore, always use the type of bobbin for your machine
(consult your manual for the correct bobbin type).
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.
