Tips
for making sewing easier & more efficient:
The Do's & Don'ts of Sewing |
DO
Press all of your seams
DO Keep your work area clean
DO Read as much about the fiber content of fabrics
before you buy them Sew a garment without
pre-washing the fabric
DO have good lighting where you work to prevent eye
strain Never leave a torchiere lamp unattended as
they can be a fire hazard if placed too close to
curtains or walls.
DO Measure twice, cut once
DO Keep your scissors sharp
DO Separate your sewing tools (such as tape measures
and scissors) from other household tools so they
don't get ruined or worn out
DON'T Iron velvet without a special velvet bristle
board
DON'T Leave cords in a high traffic area, especially
iron cords
DON'T Blow air into your sewing machine to clean it;
it can clog it up by forcing particles into the
gears
DON'T Let scraps pile up; throw them out, recycle
them, or sell them on eBay to quilters |
