Time for more sewing tips. I have collected so many ideas and tips over the years and some of them I have tried and some are still on my "list". Many tips I am going to be sharing with you on my blog I have tried. If not....I will be trying them to share them with you. :) Here are a few of them.
I am always losing my seam
ripper (and believe me I use it all the time!) so I read this tip and
thought....I can do this. Tape the cap
of a ball point pen, open end up, to the front of your sewing machine and when
I am not using the ripper I put it in the pen cap. That way I always know where
it is.
To make thread behave for
applique or regular sewing run your needle and thread through a fresh folded
dyer sheet. No more tangles or those tiny little nasty knots!
When I am changing needles on
my machine and placing it back in the case so I know which one I had used I put
a thread in the eye. That way I know which the new ones are and which are used.
These tips work for me. I always like to try anything that makes my life easier and simple!!

Colleen - I'm certainly going to try the dryer sheet-thread-and-needle trick! I hate it big time when my thread gets all wonky. Thanks!
