Sewing Quick Tip:
Try washing just a swatch of your fabric before preshrinking your entire yardage. Fabric texture and color
can change with laundering and you may not like the way your particular fabric reacts. If it turns out
that you don’t like the way your fabric changes after being laundered, you can skip preshrinking
altogether and decide to have your finished item dry-cleaned.

Sewing Quick Tip:
When sewing a dart,
don’t backstitch to
secure the thread ends.
This can cause your
fabric to pucker.
Instead, start your
stitching at the top of
the dart, continue to
sew right off your fabric
without backstitching,
then tie off and knot
the loose thread ends
at the tip of the dart.

Sewing Quick Tip:
To keep track of the
type and size of needle
you have in your
machine, get a pad of
those tiny sticky notes
and keep it by your
sewing machine. Then,
whenever you change
your needle, just jot
down its type and size
and stick it on the front
or side of your sewing
machine.
