Sewing Quick Tips:

Tip #1: Folding a knit on grain can be tricky, especially if the knit has "torqued" after laundering. So, to fold it
on grain for cutting, take a contrasting thread and hand baste (using long basting stitches) along one lengthwise
rib line at the center of the fabric. Then just fold the fabric along the basting stitches.

Tip #2: If you experience stitch problems when sewing thin or sheer fabrics, try using a straight stitch presser
foot. Its needle hole is narrower and will therefore keep your fabric more stable and down against your needle
plate as you sew.

Note: If a project below includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include
a pattern template, it likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles) that you can easily
measure and cut yourself. And note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine.
However, if a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have just a simple zigzag
machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or adding purchased
embellishments instead.
