It cracks me up when people say “unpick” when they are literally “picking” out!!
Exactly! They are unsewing, not unpicking!
Same as when they say it's unraveling. If it ravels the fabric is coming apart it's not unraveling. LOL
❤FLAT IRON HACK?? WHAT??? And I own one!!
Okay flat iron looks like a winner 😃
I add that blue bottle starch to water and put in a spray bottle ...that is how I starch my fabric - thanks for the tips :)
well, that hair iron is the only one I didn't know..I was astounded! A few others are also pretty good
Wow you’re a genius lolol I need to stop watching your videos and finish my chores lolol thanks again 💗
This popped up for me again, love these tips. Just saw a video with seam ripping using your sewing machine for the extra hand. I tried it on taking the side seams and hems out of a cotton shower curtain. made removing those seams with ease. Just place your seam under the pressure foot and put your needle down. Best pair of extra hands ever.
My hack for thread and bobbins. First, get a bobbin case that holds about 2 dozen bobbins in it. Second, for the thread, put a small piece of scotch tape on the end of the thread to keep it from coming undone. You’ll have all your bobbins in one spot and all the spools of thread stay neat. Easy!
A flat iron? I would never had thought of that. That's awesome. I hate having to flip a thousand times to get those seems flat. Thanks for sharing again
The flat iron will amaze you Kimberly...I was speechless for real!!!!😂
I use liquid starch and dip fabric. Don't squeeze the fluid out. I hang mine on a wooden clothes rack. I had a plastic container just the right size to catch the drips. Works like a charm.
I love using the curling iron for the seams
I love the graph paper hack 🥰
I recently designed and sewed my daughter's wedding gown. I needed the edges of flimsy organza fabric to be stabilized with iron on interfacing.
I pinned a grill mat (bronze) to my ironing board and when I ironed the Interfacing strips (glue side down) it stuck to the fabric but not to the bronze grill mat (and protected my fabric ironing board cover!)
In fact any sticky substance (even fray check) didn't stick to the bronze sheet (make sure you have the sticky side down away from the hot iron plate!)
I didn't care for the bronze nonstick mat on my grill - but love it to protect my ironing board cover!
I’ve been using my flat iron for years to iron down the hem of clothes. Sometimes the clothes come out of the dryer with the hems turned up. Out comes my trusty flat iron and I can iron hems of numerous pairs of jeans or pants in about 2 minutes!
And thanks for the info on the black knob! I sure didn’t know that!
Great tip on flattening a hem✅
Just watched your kaleidoscope tutorial . It was great. Thank you
I use the liquid starch in a spray bottle and I use the dunk method but I hang it on a drying rack. It is so much cheaper than spray starch. And it’s stiffer too.
I think that is where the video I watched went wrong...they said to put in dryer...doing that made the starch weaken I think🤷🏻♀️ Maybe I will try again but this time no dryer...let it air dry✅
@@TheSewingChannel and I meant to say, great video!
Thank you Suzanne💛
When using the stripology to cook perfect strips you have to use a regular rotary blade. I love mine!!!
Thank you for sharing this GREAT INFORMATION. I made a shopping list. You are so helpful. I love the "show how it works," so helpful.
I really appreciate it. 😊🍀💖
Try using a 5 pound weight on the slotted guide to the left of where your hand is. It helps hold things in place
Genius! Sally Nebosky
The flat iron hack was cool. I might have to get one. Thanks for sharing.
As a fairly new quilter who purchased nice rulers for cutting, and had a 15yo self-healing mat from my architectural classes, I was good to go, or so I thought. The strip cutter was a game changer, no more slight shifts, perfect strips every time. I can make my own jelly rolls for a fraction of the cost. I purchased a smaller one to square off smaller pieces. I think they are especially helpful for new quilters, confidence builder
I totally agree...game changer✅
I got to find my flat iron . And thanks for the tip on the sewing foot I always wondered why the screw was there now I got to get a Slope cut Template .
Use a flat iron for shirts! Works great!
I. Use plastic tubing the size of my bobbin diameter, and cut it the tubing so that it fits over the thread inside the bobbin. Then cut the tubing so you can put it over the thread in your bobbin & it will not unwind. Also, the thread I use does not have the slit on the side of the spool, but one end pulls up from the spool to keep it from unwinding. Simply pull gently on both ends of the spool to see which side pulls up, then wrap your loose end around the spool end that pulled up, when your thread is completely around. The end of the spool, push the end back down. I love the straw idea to keep wound bobbins and matching spool of thread together when working on a project! Thanks!
I love the flat iron hack. Much better than having a bulky iron for small pieces. Yes this is genius 👏
Once you take your fabric out of the dryer you can take a water bottle and spray a little water and those wrinkles will come right out😁 whatever you do don't use a lot of pressure when ironing or drag your iron across your already cut fabric😁
I absolutely love your channel!! The idea with the shaver as a seam ripper is great for us with arthritis.
I use pipe cleaners to put my thread and bobbins together. The pipe cleaners are flexible and holds them together.
😃Thank you for all of the hacks that did work and the ones that did not work. Your are doing an excellent job.
Thank you Rich💛 Hack videos are a lot of fun to make🎉
The slotted ruler does fe awkward but it is very helpful when cutting a number of strips from one fabric. No need to move the ruler after each cut. I now have 4 irons and 2 clover mini ir9ns, but I am tempted to try the flat iron!
I have made and uses Quilter’s Moonshine, it's distilled water, vodka, liquid starch. I did put it in a spray bottle.
Oh wow Vonda...thanks for sharing your recipe🥴LOL😂
I mix the liquid starch 50/50 with water and use a spray bottle. you have to shake the spray bottle occasionally. works great. and way cheaper than Mary Ellens best press. You can dilute the starch a little more than I did and it works well.
I hadn't heard of using a flat iron, thanks !!!!
I do like to starch yards of fabric. When I iron, I either use a slightly damp sheet or I spray dampen the fabric with a bit of water and use teflon grill sheets, it's just as easy as spray starch, my iron stays clean and its much cheaper to use.
I love my mini clippers. Great for cleaning up the backside of a quilt top before quilting.
I love hacks. I have a smaller version on your larger beard cutter. It fits well into my hand. It gets a good angle. Have you ever tried spraying your starch on the back of your fabric? I like your twenty minute method. It gives the starch time to soak in. Have you ever used a hand weight on your rulers to help steady them. I am going to try that flat iron. Thanks
Just brilliant hints and tips thanks for sharing 😁😁😁😁😁
I use a pipe cleaner to keep bobbins and thread together.
Kim at Fat Quarter Shop soaks EVERY SINGLE piece of her material with starch😁
😂😂😂 "you've all seen this hack" ..uh..what a electric razor say whut?? 😂😂 nope never heard of it. Not a constant UA-camr, so glad you posted it!
LOL🤣 Thank. you for watching❤️
Brilliant hacks, will defo be trying the hair straighteners hack, than you Tracey
I liked the hair straightener be brilliant for hst's... and the electric quick unpick. 😆 hugs, Chel🌸
The flat iron was amazing indeed✅
Best use for a flat iron I’ve seen.
I guess because when I use it in my hair it tends to sizzle and butn😢
Omg. The flat iron totally works!!!❤️
Yes...it's almost too good to be true Susan....but it is totally true✅💛
Thanks for sharing!
Love to hear about hacks. My rotary cutter is my ripping hack. Especially good for double-stitched seams. Hold the seam tight exposing the thre
ads. With a sharp cutter, just barely touch the area. Apply a little tension between so your fingers don't slip. I have never cut myself while ripping -keep a hold on the cutter, move the fabric. 😃
I ABSOLUTELY Love the flat iron hack BUT I noticed that you would press and then dragged that will definitely stretch your material. I'm gonna get out my flat iron and give it a try!!!
Excellent tips! Thanks
I love the razor and hot iron hack. Works awesome past on to my sewing group.
These hacks are fabulous! I appreciate that you tested each one and did comparisons. Definitely a winning tutorial!
I tried the flat iron. Love it! Thanks.
I just discovered your UA-cam channel. I am 76 and have been sewing since I was 18. Will never know why I didn't know the trick to keep the bobbin threads in check. I keep my bobbins in a small drawer with strips of foam that they slip between. I am forever having to rewind the ends of the threads so I don't have to fight them to get a different bobbin out. I LOVE this tip.
Good video
Secret word GENIUS
I love that for quilt blocks! I have used my flat iron for shirt collars and pocket flaps on pants and shirts.
I've used the slotted ruler for almost all my cutting fabric. I've actually worn out two already. I love, love it.
Wow! I've got to go shopping.
LOL 😂 You best get going Arvetta💛
I loved them al!
anchor the end of the Material under your sewing machine foot and just zip along😊
I do this method often. I use my husband’s razor
Oh Oh Oh Peggy....that's a great idea....thank you for sharing it with us!!!!
The flat iron hack looks really good. I have a really old iron somewhere so I have to dig it out for my next project, Thank you!!!
Thank you for the tip on the presser foot,always wondered what the knob was for.great time saver. I really believe we would get more out of our sewing if we understood what each foot was for.
Hi Tracy. Great tips, especially the presser foot! I love my slotted ruler and use it all the time. No more wavy strips! Thanks.
Thank you EJ!💛
Thank You. 🙏
Great item
I always wondered about using the trimmers as a seam ripper. Not that I use a seam ripper much 😉. Great video!
I don't use mine either much Chrissy....haha😆😉
I have the slotted ruler and love it. I use it a lot since I have issues of veering away from regular ruler.
Love the flat iron, just GENIUS. Such great tips.
Thank you so much Barbara💛
Love the flat iron tip! I have often used mine to "iron" something I have on when there's a small wrinkled spot- while I'm doing my hair. lol
The notch in the spool of thread is supposed to be placed down when putting the spool on the sewing machine. Thread has a warp and it has to do with that. I learned this when I took a sewing course.
Great tips Tracy! Esp like the flat iron for flat seams!💕🧵
Thanks so much Helen! 😊 the flat iron worked amazing!!✅
Love the one with the flat iron. Gonna try that tomorrow. Thanks!
I think you will be shocked like me Jan✅
I'm glad you tried the razor hack! I keep seeing it and I thought it would mess up the fabric! I am a believer now!
I am with you on the ripping paper!
Fallon the razor hack really did work fast and efficiently ...and the flat iron left me speechless....for real!!!!!🤭
I can’t believe how flat the seams were with the straighteners! Is there a chance that using them would burn the fabric? If not, we all need to start using this hack , great video ❤
Some very useful ideas there. Myself I use pipe cleaners to keep my shuttles together as theyre not so bulky and they bend much easier, saving space too 😉
I’m a starcher .. I use Sta Flo 50/50 solution .. I too, soak my fabric before cutting and let it drip dry, then I press it. Yes, it is wrinkled, yes, all the wrinkles don’t come out .. but.. as quilter’s, we press our fabric a bunch of times when piecing and by the time the block is complete and the fabric has been pressed a bunch of times ..9 times out of 10, the fabric is wrinkle free. Great video!
I think I shouldn’t have put it in the dryer like the video I watched said to do🤷🏻♀️I will try again and see if air drying does the trick✅ thank you for watching 💛
Genius
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you take us through all these amazing tips and tricks. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
You’re welcome Mags💛
Great idea
What a fun video!!! Love the slotted ruler and the flat iron. I’m definitely going to have to give both a go
Oh yes...the flat iron is a must try for sure....I was shocked!!!!!😱 Thank you for stopping by Mari💛
Thanks for the new hacks.
You're welcome Grace!💛
I have been wondering about the button on the presser foot for a long time. Thank you mystery solved. 🥳🙂
Also I use pipe cleaners to hold my bobbins on my spools and to clean my machine with. I have so many leftover from the Girl Scout years.
Super smart ideas especially the flat iron.
Thank you! 😊That flat iron worked in 2 hot seconds🔥
More great tips Tracy 👏👏 Who knew that my husband’s razor would be so useful 🤣🤣 Thanks Tracy 👍🇬🇧
You’re welcome 😊 Glynis...after I bought mine for this video...I figured if it didn't work then I would give to my hubby for backup...but now he's not getting it LOL😂
Tracy once again you have given me some great tips. I share your videos on Facebook all the time. Lol obsessed with your channel
Yay!!! I love that you are obsessed with my channel!!! LOL😂 Thank you so much for sharing my videos on another platform...it really does help my video to reach farther out...❤️
I use my slotted ruler every day! I love it and I've had it for almost 10 years. I also never knew about the black knob on the presser foot. Nice to know. Thanks for all you do!!
I'm starting to get used to the slotted ruler now✅ not many know what the knob is ....glad to help💛
I use the Creative Grids Stripology rulers they are more stable than the June Taylor slotted ruler and more versatile. Also , your rotory blade will cut into the June Taylor one because the plastic is softer. I can't do without the Stripology rulers.
New sub here, thank you I sure did learn a lot today, I actually had just finished watching a binding video of yours, I really learned a lot on that too, so that & this video convinced me to subscribe, I look forward to learning more.
I love my slotted trimmers from Creative Grids. I have placed weights on top of my trimmer. This help me hold in place and I could trim faster and more layers at a time without worrying about slipping. Remember keep that blade straight up and down and not at a slant.
The slotted ruler - use an Olfa rotary cutter - perfect. Pressing down keeps all the fabric in place, no slipping, less stress on the hand. I bought mine many years ago and have used it for over 14 long cabins, 7 Pineapple Quilts. I hope I'm never without it. Gotta watch the exact slots carefully - easy to get "off".
Wow!! Great tips! Love your channel. I sewed a puff pillow with your video lately and it came out super! I am now working on a puff quilt. I think I would really enjoy trying the flat iron. I get super tired of dragging the big heavy one out for projects. Super video enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Karen💛 The technique on the puff quilt is so much easier than the traditional method....more efficient...I'm so happy that you are enjoying the process.💛
Soaking pre washed fabric in the “moderate” starch ratio -follow instructions on bottle work great for me-I wash the fabric, soak it in starch solution for 5-10 min and then dry-no white flakes, not problems ironing
Yah, I knew the leveler too. I’ve been sewing for 64 years. I’m always learning something. This was a good video
Thanks for watching Jane...I appreciate your support very much!💛
love your tips and tricks
Thank you Kelly💛
Thank you
Great hacks. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I have 3 of the slotted cutting rulers and use them all the time. They are great for cutting squares and pieces from strips and strip sets.
2 thumbs up from me.
Awesome!!!
wow so many good hacks thanks!!
I did not know about the starch flecks before this video , this was really interesting,thank you .
You're welcome Yve!💛
Wow! Clear and concise!
Thank you for the kind feedback Kathryn💛
Another great video, Tracy.
I definitely enjoy your sewing videos, but have to admit, I really appreciate all the helpful tips/tricks/hacks that you share... So much to learn. 😀
I actually never knew what that little black knob on the presser foot was for, but.... now I do 👍
And the flat iron for pressing? Love it. Definitely have to try that.
Thanks so much!
Janet
You're welcome Janet....a lot of people don't know about that black knob so you are not alone on that one✅💛
Yes it was awkward at first but a good quality one is made thicker and works quite well. Thanks for all your videos
Omg have to get busy with my bobbins and straws. I will try the razor. Lol Love your tips.
Awesome Diane!!! Get some stronger straws than what I used LOL😂
