Top 10 Sewing Tips:
Tip 1: Needle
- Always use Beissel 130-705 HE Quilting needle for free motion quilting. For long arm quilting, use 130-705 H E Round Shank.
- Home sewing needles run at speeds up to 750 stitches per minute and even that in most cases sewing is intermittent. So, they are nickel plated which has served well.
- Chrome is harmful to environment because of the effluent the plating generates. Chrome plated needles for regular home sewing is best avoided.
Tip 2: Needle
- The needle point is likely to become dull after about 8 hours of sewing. It will begin to make a bigger hole and a “punching sound” making the machine work harder.
- A needle is the least expensive item in your project. Do not wait for the needle to break. Change to a nice fresh needle after 8 hours of sewing (or) when starting a new project. Your sewing machine will work as it is new!
Tip 3: Needle
- Needle available in sizes 75/11 and 90/14.
- Choose the right size depending upon thickness of cloth being quilted
Tip 4: Thread
- Use cotton thread because there are plenty of stitches in a quilt and the thread will touch the body especially in quilts for babies.
Tip 5: Sewing Habit
- Use seam allowance 1/4” while joining the pieces and not 5/8” frequently used in garments. This will give uniform sizing of quilt.
Tip 6: Fabric
- Press your seam fabrics before beginning the project. Ensure there are no wrinkles in the fabric.
Tip 7: Fabric
- Stick to one type of fabric, preferably 100% cotton.
Tip 8: Fabric
- Do not use thin fabrics for quilting. They will go out of shape too soon
Tip 9: Sewing Habit
- Remember to backstitch. Only then 4th stitch will not unravel.
Tip 10: Sewing Style
- Press your quilt blocks as you make them. Properly pressed quilt blocks fit nicely together and is worth the extra time it needs. Use Binder foot to tidy up edges.
