Tips for all levels of skill

Always use a new sewing machine needle when beginning a sewing project.
When sewing with knits never allow the knit fabric hang over the edge of your work surface. Just a little hanging over can distort the garment. Always have on a flat surface, and let it rest (lay on the work surface) for a few minutes or longer before you begin to pin on your pattern or cut the fabric, and before you hem a knit fabric garment, let it hang on a hanger for a couple of days and get help marking the hem while wearing the garment with the undergarments and shoes that you will wear with it.
When sewing always check the grain and straighten it before beginning a project. Don't know how to straighten the grain? email me at: ladywhosews@gmail.com
Ironing is "pressing", but moving the iron over the are you want to "press"
Pressing and Ironing: Pressing is simply placing the iron striaght down the fabric,
When ironing your quilt blocks...press rather than iron - with a dry (no steam) iron.
Some fabrics (most, in fact) will need to be washed or drycleaned and pressed or ironed before beginning your project.
Press (with dry iron) our sewing or other crafting patterns that are going to be placed on fabric or other material.
When sewing always press your seam flat first - the way it was sewn - this will set the threads. then press with the seam open according to instructions.
Follow the instructions to the letter. Do not skip the order or change it until you become more skilled.
Read your instructions 3 or 4 times over, until you completely understand.
Be patient with yourself. In crafting we all have made huge mistakes and had to rip something out and start over.
Make sure you have enough light and ventilation.
Use the absolute best tools, notions and supplies that you can afford. A little more money spent on these items will make a huge difference.
Wash your hands and have your area clean before you begin any project
