As I sell more patterns I want to be able to be able to offer extra sewing tips, more detailed explanations of some steps for those new to sewing and some fun and easy pattern modifications.
This first tip is so simple but will help give you really nice results:
Use binder clips instead of pins when working with multiple layers of fabric and interfacing on small projects.
The clips hold the layers in place without bunching it up like pins and they are easy to remove as you go along. Do NOT fold the wires down when sewing and make sure to hold your piece up as you sew so they don't snag on anything as they move up towards the needle.
I find them really useful for making sure pockets stay lined up on the Business Card Wallet, Checkbook Wallet and for making purse straps.
Binder clips can be found at any office supply store.
Happy Sewing!
