The hint for the spaghetti straps is a good one. Hopefully I will remember to do this next time I have to turn something small out to the right side.

Great tips thank you. I learned what the black button is! Q. Why do you pin your pattern to the fabric your way? I’ve never seen that done on woven fabric 🦘

Great video, thank you Amy!!! I wish I had a black button, it is so much better than dealing with a hump jumper, which I use and am very grateful for, but it certainly doesn't even begin to compare to having the amazing advantages of having the black button right there for the utmost quick, precise convenience available at your fingertips when sewing bulky seams & layers😊 ... Also, I made a pincushion and filled it with Bird Grit, which sharpens birds beaks. Dipping your pins & needles into the pincushion will keep their points clean, sharpened and free of barbs. And, at times I'll swirl the pins & needles around as their points are inside the pincushion to give them an extra polished sharpness ... Thank you Amy for sharing your much appreciated sewing skills and valued expertise with us all, as we continue to learn, sew and enjoy the art of sewing together!!!

Thanks for the feedback and your pincushion tip!! I have the Bulky Seam Jumper and it works pretty good. I didn’t know that about using Bird Grit inside a pincushion. I need to try it!
@conniecopenhaver120
@conniecopenhaver120 16 сағат бұрын
@AmysSewingRoom The Bird Grit can be purchased at big box stores in their pet section and at pet stores ... Folks also use Shelled Walnuts, also found at pet stores, which is used as Lizard bedding, to fill pincushions ... The oil from the walnuts acts as a lubricant as the needle & pin points are sharpened by the walnut ground up shells ... One drawback is that some people have an NUT ALLERGY to the walnuts. So, any pincushion filled with the Shelled Walnut Lizard Bedding, should have a "Warning Label" attached to it, and/or as a sticker on the bag/wrapper if the pincushion is offered as a product or gift.

@AmysSewingRoom

Commercial patterns can be confusing. The pattern should include the seam allowance. I may plan a video on how to read patterns. In the meantime check out Evelyn Wood and Made to Sew for helpful KZbin videos.
