In this tutorial, I will show you some tricks on how to thread a needle for hand sewing and embroidery and how to tie a knot. It will be useful not only for people who are just learning to sew and don’t yet know how to thread a needle but also for people who are experienced in sewing and learned to thread a needle 30 years ago. It seems so easy to thread a needle. You just push the thread right through the needle’s eye and that’s it. Yet you have to do it so often and it is so frustrating at times that many people, not only me, have come up with tricks, tools, and tips that help in the process.

Sewing doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby.

Today I’m going to share some tips for making sewing cost less, so you can feed your sewi
Hi everyone! This is Nat here from AusChick Sews. Over the years, I've learned a whole bunch of methods for assembling PDF sewing patterns, including trimming the side with my paper trimmer, or taping the pattern pages up to a sliding door window. Both these methods work great, but today I'm going to share what I think is the fastest way! 1. Using scissors, cut each pattern page corner off at a 45° angle, cutting right up to but not beyond the black page border. In most cases, there's no need to cut the corners that don't join another page. 2. Align the pages at the corners, and tape or glue together (I only put tape inside the pattern pieces, rather than taping the entire page edge down). 3. Transfer any notches that have been hidden by the overlapping paper (in some cases you may need to just trim some edges to reveal the pattern lines underneath). And you're done! Cut out your pattern pieces and go sew up a new outfit! Love this tip? Save the image below to Pinterest! Remember to join our Facebook Group for your daily dose of inspiration!
