Excellent!

I've been practically crying in advance over making a doll wedding dress out of silk satin charmeuse lined with silk organza; this should help a lot! 🥳

I keep me a stack of tissue paper at my sewing machine it really does work. And it works on knit fabrics oh so well

Thank you so much!!!

Great tips I used for many years. So perhaps ppl can make note use a microtex or sharps needle size 70-80 or size 10 a small needle as well and most ppl didn’t know about a smaller stitch thank you for doing that to teach. Well done and good wishes

Thanks for posting it helps no end, and stops spoiling fabrics, we could do with more from you.

If you have tearaway embroidery stabilizer you can cut your leftovers into strips and use that, too. It tears away even more easily than paper.

That's amazing!! Also using a new needle halps a lot!

A straight stitch plate is also effective if you have one and plan to use only a straight stitch.

Good thing I saw this before I tried going back to what I'm working on. It already looked like I wasn't gonna have enough satin for what I wanted, so I can't afford to lose what I have to impatience.

Mad love for ya!!!!!! You just saved my best friends wedding gown. I’m altering a gown for her and I don’t want to mess it up. Thank you soooo much

That "Mine is too!" was personal 😊🎉❤

I just realized that I used a Pellon stabilizer for my facing, and lo and behold, the instructions that are wrapped around the stabilizer in the bolt are made of… TISSUE PAPER! I’ll be saving those instructions now, just so I can use them under my delicates. 😊

You’re amazing! I thought something was wrong with my machine

Was battling this problem alllll evening as I was sewing my first pattern. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I am so glad to see that there’s a fix. Thank you!

Back in the old days adding machine tape worked great!!

OMG!! What a lifesaver! I'm a beginner, and I had a hard time repurposeing my toddler's onesies into tshirts. I bet this will work perfectly. Thank you!

You can also turn your feed dogs off or cover them if your machine can’t turn them off. I turn my stitches down too when I use delicate fabrics or large weaves. It’s such a pain.

@LydiaNaomi

That's an idea! 😊 Can you still do even stitches with your feet dogs off?

@@LydiaNaomi yeah I just sew slower. In general with delicate fabrics I sew a lot slower or use the paper method with the feed dogs up. If you ever sew with the feed dogs down, try some scrap cloth and use your left hand to pull from the back side. You’ll get the feel for it but it’s different on different fabric. My sewing machine chews up satin if I don’t put them down, use a stabilizer or paper.

I owe you my life. Now I can finish my mesh bra and not want to set it on fire every few stitches!

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this ☺️⭐️✅💯💫🪡🫶

Man kann auch eine so genannte Hebamme verwenden, ein Stück Stoff unter den hinteren Teil des Fußes legen, damit der Fuß gleich mäßig wagerecht steht. Das ist noch einfacher. Ich besitze mehrere. Stärken

Would a darning plate work to prevent the machine from eating the fabric? I wanna get out of the paper hack if I can because im sewing a large project 😂😅

A lot like embroidery stabilization.

Darts should be sewn from the tiny point to the wider edge!

Use the thinnest needle?

@LydiaNaomi

Жыл бұрын

Thats definitely the first thing you should do, but some machines will still chew at the fabric, especially at the start. In fashion school ,using industrial, regular serviced machines, my professors recommended using tissue paper on top and bottom if trouble ensues :D

Thank you so much for this😭🩷

Love this hack. I'm still searching for how to accurately cut out a pattern when using slippery fabric. I've tried tried the tissue paper between the layers (Still shifts); the single layer and tissue paper (still shifts); the spray starch (only when it won't leave marks) and more. This could be for satins, for crepes, for rayon challis.... PLEASE HELP!! LOL!!! I have such lovely fabric and am afraid to cut it out! Thanks so much.

Once you're done stitching fold back the one side and tear it off. The other side should come out quite easily. Whatever's left that you can't get out will likely wash away.

With this fabric, I might use a very light fusible interfacing strip along the zipper line to keep things from stretching, as long as your interfacing is very light and only very thin amounts in same areas then I think it could work.

I always used a reg kleenex.

does the paper make the needle dull?
