For yardage that will get interfaced after you've cut it out anyway you can save another step. Just block interface that yardage as a big piece before it's cut out at all. You then cut just the once and each piece is perfectly interfaced and ready to go. (And generally it's easier to cut too because it's less likely to want to get "shifty" on you).
Oh yeah, this is a good one to add! I didn't do it for this video, but I do this for non-directional fabrics when I need to get a lot of little things done. If you're fussy cutting, this won't work so well though :(
Thank you thank you!!! Great tips; no more knots and bird’s nests on my products. And DUH!! That tip for interfacing is something I never thought of! 🙄
I'm so glad this could help you! I have sold online and consigned with shops in the past. I'm about to do my first in-person craft fair in May though, so all of this is relevant haha!
Really appreciate your excellent demo of Inventora. Have started my sewing skills at zero, and working on building them up to where I can make things quickly enough they are worth selling.
I've really enjoyed using Inventora to help me track my materials. I haven't been producing as many bags lately due to travel and laser shenanigans, but I just put in all of my laser supplies last week and am ramping up to do a lot more in my shop with those products!
Thanks for the tips! Many I already use but good to hear how others do it. I always figure if I’m going to cut out one I may as well do 4…LOL. Mostly because I hate the cutting out. So, I just do what I hate first and it’s OVER! My big takeaway was Inventura! Will definitely check it out!
I do Farmers Market. My production tip is is to bulk cut before you need it. I hate going back and forth between cutting and sewing. So When I process scraps ( anything under a FQ or 1/4yd) or when I am running low on something. I will just cut out my most popular items. For instance, I have 2 bags that use the same size pieces of fabric. So I have a bin for that size, and I just cut that size and keep it on hand. I also pre bulk cut all my linings and interfacings and keep them with their fabrics. I do this for each of my popular items and then when I need to, I just sit down and chain sew whatever I need for my booth.
enjoyed the great tips, Thank you. I keep thing one of these days I will venture into being part of a craft fair. I will continue watching your video.. Please do more.
Oh my gosh! I’ve been looking for you all my life!😅 Ok, so maybe that was a little dramatic. But I have just decided to get back into doing my own craft booth this fall and just saw this video! This is the info and help I need. And you have a great sense of humor so that also makes learning easier! I’ve subscribed to your channel and will be watching a lot more of your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Awesome! Let me know what you think after using it for a bit. I used it exclusively to prepare for my craft fair last weekend. It was a lifesaver in tracking everything.
Great tips! If I'm using cotton or WPC, I ALWAYS pre-iron before cuttiing the pieces. This way, any shrinkage that happens is going (usually) to happen before cutting and your pieces will be more consistant.
I saw a trick where you batch sew the zipper to the tab material in a line and then cut them apart. That way you don’t have to cut them into small pieces first!!
Oh yeah that is a good one too! I swear I thought I did a video on that at one point, but it's all mixing up in my head now as one giant content-creator soup. It's why I keep a running list of videos I'd like to do, then go through and make sure I haven't already done it :P
Wow I just saw your video by accident, and I love it specially that you are like me,like animal crossing, zelda.etc video games and sewing. I subscribe to your channel. I will look for more of your videos.
I use pre wound bobbins. It has saved me so many headaches. I noticed when I self wind bobbins even with a great machine it’s not as good as the pre-wound.
Oh yeah those are invaluable! One came with my Juki and I use it a lot. If you have multiple bobbin sizes though, you'd probably be better off getting one per size since you'd have to adjust the full detection widget each time. For my Brother PR-1055X I just buy prewound embroidery bobbins.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing 😊 I love the walking foot on your machine. Did you mention that you were working on domestic Janome? I have a Janome HD9 and I wonder if that exact walking foot would work for my machine? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This machine in the video is my Juki DU-1181N industrial machine with a compound walking foot. My Janome M7 is to the left of this machine and I primarily use it for quilting and clothing. I am pretty sure you can get a walking foot for the HD9 professional that's on-brand. There's also off-brand, more industrial ones that you can get, though I have never used them.
How do you press the interfacing in bulk without the exposed sides sticking to the heat press or Teflon? I cut them out individually for my heatpress but this wold be faster.
I put the pieces right side up on a Teflon sheet, interfacing sticky side down on top of the pieces then put ANOTHER Teflon sheet on all of it. It’s a Teflon sandwich, but not as tasty as grilled cheese.
Great video! Do you know of any resources that show how to convert pattern templates to an svg for Cricut? I have the acrylic Clematis templates, but I just don’t have a steady enough hand to hand cut them!
Good video, I’m wanting to learn how to make small pencil cases, coin purses, and small makeup bags to sell at our next Christmas bizarre. I found your video to be very helpful. However, I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but for me personally I would rather not be distracted with all the comedy. I found it to be a little distracting. Thank-you so much for showing us all your tips and tricks for production line sewing 🌸
Hey, thanks for phrasing the feedback in a kind manner. I appreciate it! I’m just a goofy person in general. I have channel recommendations for other sewists on YT that may be more your taste though.
In a way, yes. The idea is you will eventually come back over that stitch when you're sewing it into another seam. For example, this stitch for the zipper ends will get caught in the seam when we attach the zipper to the exterior and lining fabrics.
I'm a quilter and I always wind 10 or more bobbins at once. Very helpful.
Awesome tutorial, learned some new techniques that will definitely help my productivity.
For yardage that will get interfaced after you've cut it out anyway you can save another step. Just block interface that yardage as a big piece before it's cut out at all.

I wondered about that. Need (want) to make 2 dozen thank you gifts. That’ll save so much time! Thank you.
Just started winding multiple bobbins. It makes life so much easier.
Great video. Thanks.
It's the little things we just don't think about!
Thank you thank you!!! Great tips; no more knots and bird’s nests on my products. And DUH!! That tip for interfacing is something I never thought of! 🙄
Use an " ender" also then it's quicker than reaching around to get the leader to run back thru. The ender stays on machine until you sew again
There are so many good tips in this video Im glad I stumbled on to this!!!

Your an idiot
Great advice as always, I’ll try this out for my upcoming Fair
I just wanted to thank you for your tips, presentation, and energy. New subscriber. Looking forward to seeing your new and older videos.
Your channel has been SUCH a help for me on my journey. Thank you!!!
Thank you! Love the leader. Have never tried it but definitely going to try.

As a quilter, use the leader and cut it off and use it as an ender. Excellent tips!
instead of cutting out pattern piece first.. iron interfacing and fabric together first, draw once cut once :)
I do this often! It isn't good if you're fussy cutting, but it is a nice way to bulk cut things.
ilovefiercekittenz! Love your videos, you do a good job breaking things down in a way that makes sense
Hi! I just signed up with Inventora!!!!! Thank you so much for this valuable tip.
Awesome! Let me know what you think after using it for a bit. I used it exclusively to prepare for my craft fair last weekend. It was a lifesaver in tracking everything.
You give great advice while making me laugh out loud. Thank you!
And nowhere is 'measure twice, cut once' more important than when doing a production run. Ask me how I know.
Yes! Learned this the hard way 😅
Great tips!

Thank you once again for your tips and experience. I was dreading the excel spreadsheet. This system looks and sounds amazing! Thanks again!!
It has been extremely helpful in preparing for a local farmer's market!
Lol since I've worked in those horrible southern sewing mills I know about PRODUCTION. When I'm in a hurry everything is in a row and go.😅😅😅
Wow I just saw your video by accident, and I love it specially that you are like me,like animal crossing, zelda.etc video games and sewing. I subscribe to your channel. I will look for more of your videos.
Thanks for the great tips!!
Great Information
I’m the same way for interfacing. Too much time with measuring. Just place the fabric on the interfacing and go! Great video
Is there a difference btwn doing it this way vs fusing before you cut?
@@klemmie no. Whatever material I am using that will be fused, I just use all of the material and then cut the pattern out
Wow inventora looks awesome
I use pre wound bobbins. It has saved me so many headaches. I noticed when I self wind bobbins even with a great machine it’s not as good as the pre-wound.
I bought a stand alone bobbin winder that winds most size bobbins really fast.
Oh yeah those are invaluable! One came with my Juki and I use it a lot. If you have multiple bobbin sizes though, you'd probably be better off getting one per size since you'd have to adjust the full detection widget each time. For my Brother PR-1055X I just buy prewound embroidery bobbins.
You are so DOPE for sharing all that you do...thank you!!!
Omg I feel so lucky to be in the first 100 people to watch this!
Love your energy
Thank you for all the great tips!! Also may I ask the pattern for the beautiful backpacks you were holding in the beginning?
It's one I'm working on with a friend!!
Ohh I can’t wait !
Same! I’ve been wondering what they are too they look beautiful ❤
Great video!! Thank you for sharing 😊 I love the walking foot on your machine. Did you mention that you were working on domestic Janome? I have a Janome HD9 and I wonder if that exact walking foot would work for my machine? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Katy, the M7 & M17 machines are different from the HD9. The HD9 is just a Straight Stitch machine that uses a Regular old fashioned Walking Foot.
Great show... thank you... peace ... .
Great tips!
I need one of your wristlets! I love the animal crossing fabric!
Oh that one's still listed on the shop if you really do want it!
For me it is hard to get fabric since I have to get most of it abroad we don’t have shops like Joann
How do you press the interfacing in bulk without the exposed sides sticking to the heat press or Teflon? I cut them out individually for my heatpress but this wold be faster.

What a cool vid!
Thank you

Never mind, If I had bothered to look, I would have seen that you have a video on the subject 😂
HAH! It's ok!!! I have a LOT of videos now. Even I forget if I've done something already or not.
Good video, I’m wanting to learn how to make small pencil cases, coin purses, and small makeup bags to sell at our next Christmas bizarre.

Not relevant, but as a googly-eye aficionado who wages all-out warfare from her cubicle, I LOVE YOUR GOOGLY EYES!
LOL YEP!!!
Ok, I am so confused about the leader thing. Why does it cancel out the need to backstitch to lock the stitch?
In a way, yes. The idea is you will eventually come back over that stitch when you're sewing it into another seam. For example, this stitch for the zipper ends will get caught in the seam when we attach the zipper to the exterior and lining fabrics.
Ooh ok. That makes sense. Thanks!
You are fun. :)
HA first comment. LOL. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for this information. HA fifth comment 🎉
