      I do the same. Poke the golf tee through your bobbin, then drop it down into the top of the thread cone. The bobbin rests on top because the tee is wide enough to keep from slipping through and long enough to hold them on top of each other. I never have to search for the matching color bobbin. Get the longest tees and stack a couple bobbins because who wants to run out?!

    Of course baking parchment is great for working with iron on webbing or stabilizer.. One idea is to use it to apply iron on adhesive to a zipper , then just place the zipper and iron it perfectly in place. Same for shirt pockets.

    These are great. Now I need to come up with some projects so I can use them! Sheet metal under the cutting mat, different rulers to turn back the seam allowance and trim batting, mounting tape on BOTH sides as a seam guide, stair rail as a round presser and doubling as a clapper, thin cheap cutting boards as pattern templates. SO many useful tips in 12 minutes. Great editing quickly showing how. New Subscriber.

    I use a medical scalpel as a seam ripper. They are VERY sharp so be cautious but the thin curved blade cuts thread with little effort and it has a nice handle.
    For bobbin storage those little foam separators for painting your toenails hold your bobbins nicely.

    Because most people who sew are probably pretty creative, this may not be a new idea, but it might give someone the nerve to deface a solid wood dining room table. When my mother passed away, none of my siblings wanted her dining room table and chairs. It's the maple everyone had in the 60s and 70s. I already had a beautiful antique dining table but I didn't want to get rid of my mother's, so I turned it into my sewing table. It is round with two leaves that make it into a huge oval. After a moment of asking my mother's forgiveness, I drew a huge grid on it and then used a wood burning tool with a very fine tip to make it permanent. That gives me a workspace of 6ft x 4ft. I do a ton of crafting as well, so it gets a lot of use. I'm blessed to have a dedicated room for all my mess, so having to move this massive heavy maple table isn't necessary unless I need that room as a guest bedroom. I think my mother would approve considering how much use it gets.

    • @NotchesSewing
      @NotchesSewing  9 месяцев назад +4

      Thanks for sharing your story. It think your mother would be very happy knowing how useful you've made it! Did you have to raise the legs at all? I use bookcases all around as the bases for my cutting table as I like my surface to be high.

    I'm actually embarrassed to say that many of these ideas are new to me. I have been sewing, embroidering, quilting for 70+ years! My daughter says I am always reinventing the wheel because I love to use common household things to substitute for clever but more expensive manufactured items. But you are a genius at this! Your simple, effective presentation is so welcome I figure that if we're clever enough to sew, we can easily understand and appreciate your amazing ideas. I'm guessing that your brilliant ideas extend to repairs and innovations around your house.

    Painters tape makes a good guide ledge, spoon handles & crochet hooks are great for turning.

      thank you! I also use painters tape on the machine itself when sewing vinyl so it doesn’t stick .

    I use (inexpensive) plastic acquarium tubing instead of cotton cording for corded piping. It has held up much better and looks smoother.

    These are so brilliant, I am definitely saving this video!
    I added extra elastic to my wrist pincushion so it would fit around my sewing machine ~ very handy to stick your pins in while sewing.

    Hint for drilling holes in plastic. Use a “step bit”. Will not crack the plastic and has multiple sizes in one bit.

    My best hack = I use cheap $1 store yellow sponges with the green scrubber to clean my cutting board. The straight edge is great for running along side the ruler when you have to trim off a little fabric or threads ❤

    I'm so glad I watched this! Simple hacks, extremely useful information, and not the usual rehashing of the same ideas. I have been sewing since I was 7. Almost 50 years! Recently, I bought a magnetic seam aligner and my bobbin jams and has created thread tangles every time I use it. The double-sided tape trick is definitely what I will use from now on. I use crochet hooks or long handled rounded tip scissors for corners and canned food for fabric weights. Your bobbin storage ideas are absolutely genius. I just wish I had seen this before buying the plastic clips I have. It's been hard to see the true colors of the thread through the colorful clips, so I ended up buying bobbin holders that sit atop the spool of thread that matches. 😂 thanks so much for this video!
