    You can get those beads off the shower curtain rings with a pair of pliers. Flatten the little bump on each end of the beads that holds them. I did this a while back. Don't remember why, but it worked. 🤷‍♀️

    My favorite: I got a 6-pack of cheap paintbrushes in the toy section at Family Dollar, which I use when turning things. They are smooth and have a fairly blunt end, and the various sizes mean that I always have just the right size. My other thing is empty facial tissue boxes to use as a mini-wastebasket right by my machine. Just toss it when it's full.

    Just made one of these and so pleased how it came out but my seam on the lining seems a bit thick inside even though I used a thin material and trimmed it before turning the right way. It’s just at the opening where it doesn’t lie quite right. Any suggestions? Thank you

    Many patterns come with more than one size printed on the same paper. I have used interfacing to trace the sizes I am planning to sew, thus saving the other sizes to use later for a different child or grandchild, or even the same child who has grown. I actually enjoy using the interface pieces more than I do the paper pattern pieces, and they fold up and last really well. When you were using the parchment paper, I thought that parchment paper would work very well for tracing patterns. I think I may try it. Thank you for all the ideas you share.

    Just yesterday before watching this video I decided I needed a silverware tray to put tools, pins, etc in while sewing. Then I watched the video and my idea popped up. Now to find an extra tray in the house or to buy one. I have vision problems now at 83 so threading my machine needle is hard. I have found that if I put a small piece of white paper behind the eye of the needle it makes it easier for me to thread it.

    Thank you. I LOVE their chart and your video. Another great thing about Schmetz needles is: the package! The color photo, right behind the package, shows a sample of the type of fabric for that needle (like denim). Don’t work for Schmetz, just like their needles.

    I use 99% of the time 75/11 embroidery or sharp needles for my quilt projects! I stopped using a universal needle years ago when I learned that it between a sharp and a ballpoint - just didn’t like the stitches it made.

    I used to change my needles when they broke - and only when they broke. Thanks to you, I’ve learned that needles are one of the least expensive parts of sewing AND also one of the most important! Now, I change my needles regularly. And I’m more careful about choosing the right needle for the project.

    • @sandybruce9092
      @sandybruce9092 Před 13 dny

      I’m ashamed to admit that I’m horrible about replacing needles. I never remember to make a note when replacing a needle so I know how old it might be🫢🫢

    Many machines come with a button foot. I am now planning to organize my whole button box. A great rainy-day project. Temu sells heat-erasable markers...fine point, multi colors, WITH REFILLS. I keep my heat tool close, using it to erase mistake, or remove marks on non-washables. They have become my favorite notion ever. Also - PILL BOTTLES. I take a lot of meds, hence many bottles every month. My fave is keeping my water-soluble thread separate and dry.
