The right move with pins changes everything
Do you feel like your fabric is slipping or deforming under your fingers? Try to insert your pins slightly at an angle rather than straight. This detail improves support, especially on fine materials, and makes it easier to remove them when sewing. Your points gain in regularity and your work in elegance.
Knots that won't let go of you
For a flawless finish, the knot deserves as much attention as the rest. Wrap the thread several times around the needle before gently pulling, then tighten the knot flush with the fabric: you get a compact, discreet and durable knot, capable of withstanding everyday movements without unraveling.
The famous secret of the little hole in the safety pin
And here is finally the long-awaited revelation. This tiny hole is not there by chance: it was designed to easily thread an elastic band or a cord in a drawstring. Simply thread through it, tie the elastic band through it, and then gently pull the pin through the fabric tunnel. This method prevents the rubber band from twisting or getting stuck, and allows for a smooth and quick passage. A simple trick that perfectly illustrates sewing tips for beginners as well as for the most experienced.
