Tips for Success

 

Thread Choice:
Pair your thread with your fabric—polyester for synthetics and cotton for natural fibers.

Tension Settings:
Test your stitches on a fabric scrap to adjust tension for smooth seams.

Stitch Length:
For lightweight fabrics, use shorter stitches; for heavier fabrics, increase stitch length.

Stabilizers:
For slippery or stretchy fabrics, use stabilizers or interfacing to make sewing easier.
