Here are a few amazing sewing tips and tricks I’ve learned over the last few years, followed by a scream then a good laugh:
- Glue basting is AMAZING, as long as you sew the edge you basted (did this today).
- Don’t put your spray starch and spray glue side by side.
- Never square up your quilt on the floor while wearing a maxi dress or skirt. That is, unless you want to make a mini skirt your next project.
- Make sure that pretty, glossy, white thread for your amazing quilting design is not actually the pretty, glossy, wash-away thread.
What are your hard-won sewing tips and tricks you want to (or are willing to) share?
spray glue? those are some good ones! Never put your camera and its little string handle on the cutting table while using a rotary cutter…never quilt (without gloves back then) while listening to one child read while the other two run circles around you (also make sure your tetanus shot is up to date!).. watch your bare knees when you square up your quilt on the floor with said rotary cutter! and yes, remember to laugh!
