5 Beginner Sewing Tips and Tricks

5 Beginner Sewing Tips 😱

When you are learning to sew, you are starting from square one. Follow these tips and you’ll be sewing your first project in no time 🪡🧵

☝🏼 Using your thumb, middle, and index finger is really easy to manipulate the fabric so that the raw edges line up when you pin your fabric together.

📍Pinning parallel to the raw edge of the fabric is great for straight seams, as it holds the most fabric in place.

✂️Pinning horizontally is fantastic for curved seams as you can remove the pins much more easily when sewing.

💕Stitch length is pretty important, but for most sewing projects, 2.5/3 is the best one to go for.

💅🏼I would always recommend a high-quality thread like @guetermann_creativ_au as it is the most universally used. Go for the polyester one when you’re a beginner as this is the standard.

📈Lift the needle to the most upright position before removing your fabric. This will avoid having multiple thread tails when you remove your fabric.
