I use a thick rubber band to hold mine down because my extension table will still fit onto my Bernina with the band in place. Otherwise I'd use a loooong piece of Scotch tape to hold it tightly in place. With both the rubber band and tape, you can easily remove them when the bobbin needs to be changed or you are sewing a diagonal seam. A second reason for using the tape or band is because the metal of the throat plate on any machine I've worked with, in class or personally, does NOT accept the sticky on the notepads for more than a few minutes. This is still a cheapest and most efficient trick around; I've been using it and promoting it for decades. Literally. |
I saw Eleanor Burns demo this idea many years ago during one of her shows. I use multi layer of blue painter's tape with my Bernina.

Yes - the Post It's are a great sewing 'tool' .. we also use them for keeping piping in place against the fold.
|
Never thought of using post-it-notes...sounds like a good idea. I usually use the Dr. Sholl's foot padding that I can cut into strips.

If one paper pieces, these little post-it pads work wonders for keeping track of sections……..stick to and remove from the fabric quite nicely…….

I use Command strips. They stay stuck solid but easy to remove with no residue at all.

That's really cool. I haven't heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!
|
Thanks for all the tips--will have to try !

I've used the bandaid method, but forgot that I have a screw on fence that came with the machine.

Are command strips reusable? |
