Wow! That laser light is amazing. I'm going to have to out and get one, ASAP.

Thanks, for the website with the 11 hints to use common things for sewing. Great site. I was really impressed with the soap dish to use on the side of the sewing machine. Don't think it will work on my machines, but I still thought it was really clever.

The best hint for me (other than the laser light) was down in the comments. Someone said she used an icing knife to iron over. The first thing I thought of was using it to iron the French seams on pillow cases. For those not familiar with this process, you have to sew a seam on the front of the pillow case and then turn the case inside out and sew the second seam. When I am ironing the pillow case after turning it inside out (and before I sew the second seam) I like to iron the seam down, but I can never get the seam to fully come out and so I end up the extra fabric in the seam. Don't know if this is making any sense or not, but if I used a rounded icing knife to push the seam out and then iron on top of it (the knife) it would push the seam out fully. I hope that all made sense. But it is a great idea that I am going to try.
