7 Tips&Tricks to speed up your sewing
01/17/2024
Sometimes house chores and work schedule won’t let us dedicate an hour or two to sewing. That’s why sewing neatly AND quickly sounds like a magic skill, no less. And you can acquire it!
Today we’ll share a bunch of simple tricks that will help you accelerate the sewing process and save precious time:
- Use pattern weights to stop your fabric from slipping away.
- Use water-soluble thread when basting. The basting stitches will dissolve once you use iron steam or after washing the finished make.
- Baste on the sewing machine, using a long stitch. And don’t forget to loosen the thread tension a bit!
- Instead of rushing to your ironing board after every made seam, stitch all the pieces you can and then proceed to press the seams.
- Use special presser feet that will allow you to speed up the sewing process. For instance, a stitch-in-the-ditch foot, a bias binding foot, or a seam marker foot will make sewing a lot easier.
- Read through the sewing instructions before you start a project to get acquainted with the techniques and overall process.
- And last but not least, choose projects that take little time to make. Accessories, for example.
