Woooooow! This is a freaking good one. Will save this video for this type of occasion. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Yes it is! I just started using a seeing machine so I'll save this tip for later ^_^
Glad you enjoyed it!
I will definitely be trying this! Thank you so much for sharing :-)
Thank you been fighting with my slippery fabric for 2 days now, just tried and worked perfectly
Excellent!
I've been practically crying in advance over making a doll wedding dress out of silk satin charmeuse lined with silk organza; this should help a lot! 🥳
If you have tearaway embroidery stabilizer you can cut your leftovers into strips and use that, too. It tears away even more easily than paper.
I keep me a stack of tissue paper at my sewing machine it really does work. And it works on knit fabrics oh so well
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for posting it helps no end, and stops spoiling fabrics, we could do with more from you.
Mad love for ya!!!!!! You just saved my best friends wedding gown. I’m altering a gown for her and I don’t want to mess it up. Thank you soooo much
Was battling this problem alllll evening as I was sewing my first pattern. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I am so glad to see that there’s a fix. Thank you!

Good thing I saw this before I tried going back to what I'm working on. It already looked like I wasn't gonna have enough satin for what I wanted, so I can't afford to lose what I have to impatience.
Perfect timing; I needed to see this!
That's amazing!! Also using a new needle halps a lot!
A straight stitch plate is also effective if you have one and plan to use only a straight stitch.
Back in the old days adding machine tape worked great!!
Thank you! I love that you have the machine I have.
OMG!! What a lifesaver! I'm a beginner, and I had a hard time repurposeing my toddler's onesies into tshirts. I bet this will work perfectly. Thank you!
You’re amazing! I thought something was wrong with my machine
I have heard that a napkin works as well as the paper :)
Very clever ❤
Great tips I used for many years.
So perhaps ppl can make note use a microtex or sharps needle size 70-80 or size 10 a small needle as well and most ppl didn’t know about a smaller stitch thank you for doing that to teach. Well done and good wishes
Truly great technique!
I owe you my life. Now I can finish my mesh bra and not want to set it on fire every few stitches!
You can also turn your feed dogs off or cover them if your machine can’t turn them off. I turn my stitches down too when I use delicate fabrics or large weaves. It’s such a pain.
That's an idea! 😊 Can you still do even stitches with your feet dogs off?
@@LydiaNaomi yeah I just sew slower. In general with delicate fabrics I sew a lot slower or use the paper method with the feed dogs up. If you ever sew with the feed dogs down, try some scrap cloth and use your left hand to pull from the back side. You’ll get the feel for it but it’s different on different fabric. My sewing machine chews up satin if I don’t put them down, use a stabilizer or paper.
Wow! Thank you!
Thank you! I'll definitely try this
I just ordered some slippery fabric and I was so scared to sew it- now it looks a lot easier! Thank you!!
Wonderful!!
Great tip
Love it, thank you so very much!
Thank you! I just ran into this problem.
I just realized that I used a Pellon stabilizer for my facing, and lo and behold, the instructions that are wrapped around the stabilizer in the bolt are made of… TISSUE PAPER! I’ll be saving those instructions now, just so I can use them under my delicates. 😊
What a great tip!! 🥳 Thank you! 😃
This is very helpful! Thank you
You're so welcome!
Thx
you're a hero
❤ Love this
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this ☺️⭐️✅💯💫🪡🫶
So glad you like it!
Yes, tissue paper helps all thin fabrics as well as a smaller needle.
Oh yay!! Great idea! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you! This appears to be a simple enough solution 😊
This is great! Off topic but how do you freehand cut with a Rotary blade? When I try I sometimes cut into the pattern piece/fabric!
You are a sewing goddess! I’ve been pushing off a project because of this and now I’m eager!
Well thank you, and glory to God! I got this tip from my schooling in fashion! It really helps me! I am so glad you liked this!!
Wow!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you!!! A simple solution for a headache of a problem!!!😊
Glad it helped!
I like to use my walking foot too.
Thank you for sharing this tip!
Thanks!
Wow super smart !😅
Clever! News I can use! Thanks for sharing.❤️
I do that for Jersey knits too
Thanks for this hack
Thank you. Very helpful tip

Thank you ❤
Brilliant idea with paper,ty
Thank you so much for this😭🩷
Super helpful thank you
YES YES YES!!!
Thank u so so so so much ❤
Beautiful video. Direct and to the point. best kind.
Glad you liked it!
this is amazing! Thank you. 🥰
You're so welcome!
magnificent !!!
Man kann auch eine so genannte Hebamme verwenden, ein Stück Stoff unter den hinteren Teil des Fußes legen, damit der Fuß gleich mäßig wagerecht steht. Das ist noch einfacher. Ich besitze mehrere. Stärken
Wow thank I so much!!! Shared this
You are so welcome!
This video popped up in my feed right on time, i was just having this problem this morning
Lifesaver!!
Yay I am so glad!
thanks
I need it this video 6 hrs ago 😢 , and I thought about doing something like this too !! But I opted for hand hemming instead 😂 . Note for next time !! Ty
Smaarrttt!
Darts should be sewn from the tiny point to the wider edge!
Would a darning plate work to prevent the machine from eating the fabric? I wanna get out of the paper hack if I can because im sewing a large project 😂😅
Would using the walking foot be helpful too.
Use the thinnest needle?
Thats definitely the first thing you should do, but some machines will still chew at the fabric, especially at the start. In fashion school ,using industrial, regular serviced machines, my professors recommended using tissue paper on top and bottom if trouble ensues :D
Ye konsa cuter h btaie plx
I brought a special foot for my slippery fabric
A lot like embroidery stabilization.
won't lowering the thread tension help too?
Love this hack. I'm still searching for how to accurately cut out a pattern when using slippery fabric. I've tried tried the tissue paper between the layers (Still shifts); the single layer and tissue paper (still shifts); the spray starch (only when it won't leave marks) and more. This could be for satins, for crepes, for rayon challis.... PLEASE HELP!! LOL!!! I have such lovely fabric and am afraid to cut it out! Thanks so much.
Your BEST bet is getting a cutting mat and Rotary blade. That is the only fool proof way :)
@@LydiaNaomi Appreciate the advice and you taking the time to respond. Also, I just appreciate you. Have a great week!! See you on the next video! They're great and full of information and fun. Thanks for your labor and generosity in sharing.
Hi! Does this work on knit fabrics as well! Thank you !
Adding paper pretty much works for anything and everything where your machine is not moving smoothly as long as it's not a mechanical issue 🥰
Do you have a trick for stopping the edge of the lining/facing from rolling out. It's a 1 shoulder dress, and right across the front, keep rolling out
What paper is that?
Discovering you can use paper in your sewing machine feels illegal
😂😂 its true
Hey Lydia! Would this work for fleece, also? For some reason, the fabric keeps getting caught in the dogs.
It will work with anything :) I use it to start sewing folded straps or fold on the end of little straps.
@Lydia Naomi Thanks so much!
Would stabilizer work or is that what this is? I'm new to sewing so have no idea.
Which machine you use in the video please ans the question very important

@@LydiaNaomi thanku mam
Can i use waxed paper?newbie here..
Yes, but eventually you may have to clean residue out of your machine, parchment would be better.
Hi, Do you have a pack of sewing proffesional videos like so, for sale?🙏⚘️
You can check this out 😊 lydianaomi.retrieve.com/store/#
Is there a specific presser foot you use for this or am I able to just use the standard
I used the standard 😊
What would you suggest if I’m trying to overlock brocade to prevent fraying before I sew? Seems hard to get the tissue paper out from the triangular shape.
Yes i would overlock or zigzag that kind of fabric for sure, or just a striaght stitch along the edge can help too.
Will parchment paper work for this?
Yes :)
Can I use baking paper ??
Yes, 😊
Don't have tracing paper, will parchment paper work?
I used McDonald's napkins and they worked perfectly
🙌🙌🙌
Yes it will 👍
does the paper make the needle dull?
I suppose eventually it will but you will have changed your needle before then :)
How do i keep the paper from getting caught inside the stitches lol
Once you're done stitching fold back the one side and tear it off. The other side should come out quite easily. Whatever's left that you can't get out will likely wash away.
mines not chewing but its pulling my fabric to the left....how do you fix this?
tissue paper should help with that as well :)
I always used a reg kleenex.
But then wouldnt paper go inside the machine 😑? Love the tip but Im afraid that I will ruin the machine
Definitely use lighter paper, but just like fabric you may get some tiny fibres in there but you shouldn't get chunks :D
What of stretchy fabric😢
You can do this with any fabric causing you trouble, it helps in all kinds of circumstances 😊
Walking foot
😍👌🏾👍🏳️🌈
This is a before christ hack.
