Sewing can be a fun and rewarding hobby, but it can also be frustrating when things don’t go as smoothly as we’d like. Fortunately, there are some tools that can make sewing easier and more efficient. Here are five of them:
Seam Gauge: A Must-Have Tool for Accurate Sewing
A manual seam gauge is a small ruler that is used to measure seam allowances and hems. It is a handy tool that can save time and make your sewing more accurate. With a seam gauge, you don’t have to rely on eyeballing your seam allowances or trying to measure with a regular ruler. You can simply place the gauge against the fabric and mark your seam allowance or hemline.
Presser Foot Lifter: How to Sew Over Thick Fabric with Ease
If you’ve ever had to sew over a bulky seam or thick fabric, you know how frustrating it can be to try to keep the presser foot level. A presser foot lifter can help with this problem by allowing you to raise the presser foot to a higher position. This gives you more clearance and makes it easier to sew over thick or bulky areas.
Magnetic Seam Guide: Improve Your Sewing Precision
A magnetic seam guide is a small magnetic strip that attaches to your sewing machine and helps guide your fabric as you sew. It can be especially useful for sewing straight seams or keeping a consistent distance from the edge of the fabric. However, it’s important to be careful with magnetic items around computerized sewing machines, as they can interfere with the machine’s electronics.
Bias Binding Presser Foot Attachment: A Neat and Professional Finish
Bias binding is a great way to finish the edges of a garment or project, but it can be tricky to sew neatly and consistently. A bias binding presser foot attachment can make the process much easier by guiding the binding through the machine and folding it neatly as you sew.
In conclusion, these five tools can make sewing easier and more efficient. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced seamstress, these tools can help you achieve more professional-looking results and save you time and frustration. So why not give them a try and see how they can improve your sewing experience?
Walking Foot: Sew Multiple Layers of Fabric Like a Pro
A walking foot is a special presser foot that helps feed multiple layers of fabric evenly through the machine. It is especially useful for quilting or sewing with thick fabrics. With a walking foot, you don’t have to worry about the layers shifting or puckering as you sew.
