Sewing Tips and
Sewing Hints
Drop a lot of pins and needles
when
you are sewing?
Can't find them? Keep a magnet in your sewing
basket.
The magnet will help you find the elusive needles!
Have problems with loose
buttons? On buttons that have 4 holes,
sew only 2 holes at a time. Break the thread and knot. Then, sew
the other 2 holes and knot . This way, when the button comes looses on
one side, the button has a
chance of
staying with the garment! Also, using dental floss or elastic
thread when sewing
on buttons will help keep buttons on longer.
Need a pin cushion in
a hurray? Use a bar of soap!

Need help
threading an needle?
Spray
a small amount of hair spray on your finger when threading the needle
and
dab on the end of the thread. This helps stiffen the thread just a tad
and makes it
easier to insert into the eye!
