TIP OF THE MONTH
Pressing Seams

When pressing seams open only use the pointy-nose-end of the iron and gently guide this along your seam line. Putting the full weight of the flat iron over your seam can create shiny ‘ridges’ on the right side of the fabric which are very hard to remove.

If the fabric is a bit ‘bouncy’ and needs heavier pressing place a cloth or a scrap piece of the same fabric between the seam and the garment, then press.

A slightly damp cloth will give a much crisper press but check your fabric for shrinkage first. ... See MoreSee Less

TIP OF THE MONTH
Pressing Equipment

A pressing ham (so called ‘cos it looks like a cooked ham!) is a very useful bit of kit when pressing curves such as a neck edge, armholes etc. It makes a surprising difference to getting a nice shape.

The other ‘must have’ is a sleeve board. This is a little mini ironing board which enables you to get into smaller areas such as a sleeve seam, cuffs and other fiddling places. ... See MoreSee Less

TIP OF THE MONTH
Threading your machine

If you’re not lucky enough to have a needle threader on your sewing machine – hold a piece of white paper or card behind the eye of the needle. This makes it a little easier to see where you’re aiming the thread…! ... See MoreSee Less

SEWING TIP
Seam Allowance

The ‘seam allowance’ (SA) is the distance between the raw (cut) edge of your fabric and the sewing line. It’s almost always a measurement of 5/8th of an inch (i.e 1.7mm). Occasionally this can be less around a neckline, and on patterns for stretch fabrics. Smaller SA will be stated on the pattern piece.

Make sure you always take the stated amount, taking too much or too little will result in your garment coming out too big or too small. There should be a marker on the needle plate of your sewing machine to help keep a regular distance. ... See MoreSee Less

SEWING TIP
Stay stitching

When opening up your garment instructions the very first thing they’ll tell you to do is ‘stay stitch’. This could be on a neck edge or waistline and it’s a row of stitching just inside the sewing line (where it won’t show when the garment is made up).

Stay-stitching is essential on curves, especially a neck edge - it will stop the neckline stretching or going out of shape whilst you’re handling it. Any curved edge will have a tendency to stretch because it will be hitting the bias of the fabric and once its gone out of shape and all wavy, its very hard to correct and will never lie flat....🤨 ...
