i use a rubber disk jar opener under my foot pedal to keep it from moving away while sewing.
|
i use used dryer sheets in stead of interfacing for applique backing
|
i use a dmc floss holder to hold my extra presser feet in with alittle lable to say what is what. works great

There are so many things I do...
The travel size cotton swabs container is now a clear view needle storage container. I also re-use numerous containers for projects in the works and storing UFO types. Empty Crystal Lite container [ATTACH=CONFIG]124658[/ATTACH] Becomes a portable supply container [ATTACH=CONFIG]124811[/ATTACH] Dental floss threaders for threading needles [ATTACH=CONFIG]124812[/ATTACH] Ironing table from a micro wave table [ATTACH=CONFIG]124902[/ATTACH] Everything has a Ladybug sticker so I can spot my things at meetings or where ever [ATTACH=CONFIG]125029[/ATTACH] |
That is a good one I have problems with that long thread holder to. I am new tonight and someone told me to come here for advice and look I have already learned something on the first thing I read.
Thanks must read on.. |

I like the take a picture to see what it look like. I get them flipped sometimes and end up ripping.

Like the ladybug idea!

I cut an old mouse pad in a strip to put beside my machine to use as a pin cushion. it doesn't slide around the table, and I can take pins out as I sew and stab them at the flat cushion without looking.
I wind extra bobbins when I start a project and put them on a l-o-n-g pin on the cushion - as well as all the pins. |
Where did you find your tool box at, that is such a nice idea. Thanks
