Are you a sewing enthusiast or just getting started with your sewing skills? There are new tips you can add to your sewing experience which can possibly boost your growth to being a pro.

This article has some awesome sewing hacks that will take your skills to the next level and put you above all your competitors. Let’s dig in! 

Use the Toe Separator 

Yes, bobbins are great, but have you tried using a toe separator to make them look neater and well-organized? This is the essence of the tool; to separate the bobbins from being entangled.

Most times, its look when entangled is messy and unpresentable, with little tools like a toe separator, your job looks neater and well done!

Use a Hairspray to Get Your Thread Soften

When sewing, passing the thread through a needle is one task that takes a whole lot of time. Conventionally, licking the tip of the thread helps in giving access to the needle.

This is an inappropriate and unprofessional technique. By simply spraying the tip of the thread with hairspray, you come across as unconventional.

Get a Mug

Most times, you save money and maximize your supplies by buying more spools of thread. You can get a wide mug to put in spools of thread that are too big for the sewing machine.

When they are well set in the mug, it gives a neater look and saves money. Also, it helps to keep the thread in one position while in use.

Try the Wonder Clips

Do you know how to hold a thick fabric of multiple layers without getting it distorted? Wonder clips make it easier for you! With this tool, you can work effectively on your fabrics without pricks on your fingers.

It gets everything held in place for sewing to be done easily. Use this trick and see the magic.

A Bar of Soap

Your washing soap can do the magic of getting pins through thick fabrics or multiple layers of materials by serving as a lubricant when used as a pin cushion.

Simply insert your pins on your soap and let it get through the thick fabric easily irrespective of the multiple layers of materials. Easy and smart, right?

Use a Steel Wool

Here’s another sewing trick, this time it is to keep your pins nice and sharp for productive results.

Try using steel wool as a pin cushion. By continuously pushing in and out of your pins from the cushion, the steel wool will help sharpen them, keeping the pins from getting dull!

Use of  Magnet 

There are many injuries sustained during sewing with pins especially when bowls of pins are involved. To avoid it, a magnet can save the damage by clipping it on the bottom of the bowl

Also, it serves as a pin picker when pins fall on the floor; by carrying the magnet around the region, you attract the pin.

Sharpen Your Tools

To get your job done faster and neater, get sharp tools like scissors and blades during sewing. When it starts getting blunt, sharpen them regularly or replace them as soon as they start dragging.

If you’re not close to the market to sharpen your scissors, you can cut a piece of sandpaper to sharpen them.

Double Your Pencil for Seam Allowance

Try this trick to create a seam allowance with ease. Double your pencil and stick it with a rubber band.

Begin to draw the pattern of your dress with the two pencils; one gives the true shape of the dress while the other draws its seam allowance. It is surprising, right? Give it a try!

Get a Matchbox 

Instead of getting rid of your empty box of matches, you can recycle them for holding some sewing kits like needles, buttons, threads, chalk, etc.

With this, you can bring it out to do your services when an emergency occurs. It is also economical, easy, and portable.

Use a Plastic Freezer Bag

Sewing lumpy fabrics like fleece can be stressful, but placing a plastic freezer bag on the fabric can help it glide smoothly under the presser foot. You carefully tear off the bag when you’re done.

This hack makes your projects more professional even as a novice. Try it out, and watch your sewing skills soar.
