Sewing Tips
Keep children safe and away from the sewing area.
Be safe when using a sewing machine, keep fingers away from needle area when in action.
Its a good idea to have a clean bright area or room dedicated to your sewing, it saves you having to clear away in the middle of a project, with one table for laying out and cutting and a separate one for your machine.
Be organised using see through plastic boxes allows you to see what you have quickly. Have your equipment close to hand when working and why not stick a small paper bag to the table a handy bin for off cuts.
Remember to always pin fabric with the raw edges on the right hand side and the pin head towards you and keep to your required seam allowance ie the distance away from the raw edge. Finish all raw edges to avoid fraying with pinking shears or zig zag stitch.
Trim ends before sewing to avoid them getting caught up in the machine.
If your sewing gets stuck in the machine, remove all fabric, clear all threads and start again,
