Basic Sewing Tips

Basic Sewing Tips

Sewing doesn’t have to be a painful task. With a little bit of guidance even the most unskilled sewer can learn to sew small tears, hem pants, sew on a button and those kinds of sewing basics. Having these basic sewing skills at hand can really help out around the house. Instead of pestering friends or relatives you’ll be able to pull off all these basic sewing tasks for everyone in your family.

The following is a description of some basic sewing techniques and tips:

• Invisible Hand Hem – Press the hem in place and roll back the edge of the hem about one quarter inch. Use horizontal stitches working from left to right. Then use a small stitch to move ahead about one-third inch and use a small stitch in the hem fabric. Continue this process until the hem is complete. Take care not to pull too tightly and you’ll do fine.

An Extra Sewing Tip:

Run your hand sewing thread through beeswax to keep it from tangling.  Also run the thread under a warm iron to melt the wax into the thread so you don’t have wax residue on the thread. This also strengthens the thread.  Beeswax is available at your local sewing store.

• Sewing Pattern Notches – These are small triangle portions of fabric along the outer edge of the pattern cut line that are for matching pieces. You should remember to cut out around the notches. If there is only one notch cut around the outside edge of the entire set, not each individual triangle. 

• Making Your Own Patches – Save some money by making your own patches. You can create a softer and fusible patch with fusible webbing and a lining material. Then you have a large patch from which you can cut the exact sizes and shapes as you need patches and just fuse them in place.   You may or may not need to stitch the patch depending on how strong the fuse is.  To be safe, stitch in place to hold permanently.

• Buttonholes – It’s a good idea to mark buttonhole placement well. This insures that they are evenly spaced and straight. It can also help to read the directions in your sewing machine manual for buttonhole instructions. Practice using the same number of layers of fabric. It’s a wise choice not to cut any buttonholes open until all are sewn so you are sure of proper placement.  Place the first buttonhole in line with your bust point and work up and down from there.

Extra Sewing Tip:  Place a pin across each end of the buttonhole before you slash it open.  The pin will stop possible mishaps.  Slash from the center to the ends of the buttonhole.
 
Another Sewing Tip:  Apply “Fray Check” or another similar seam sealant product to the buttonhole before you cut it to help keep it from fraying.  Apply it to the button threads also to help strengthen them.  This works for snaps and hooks, too.
