Labels definitely do make an item look more finished, but as someone who has cut every tag out of every article of clothing I’ve ever owned, I simply cannot imagine adding a label onto something that I’ve made

"Ask Yourself If You Have Standards" is a terrific name for a category.

The rolled hem hack belongs in "there's a tool for this". Like, rolled hem presser feet, folder attachments, etc, are a dime a dozen and with them being made out of polished metal instead of paper they work way, way better.

Turn your bias maker tool upside down, so that the folded edges are underneath, and it will work more smoothly and consistently. And shoot just a light spritz of starch on there first before running it through the tool and it’s magical.

That serger trick at the end <i>sounds</i> so obvious, but I'd never done it until I saw my friend's wife do it. Feels like oh, instead of tucking and rolling out of a moving vehicle, what do you mean I could just stop the car first??? Changed my life for sure.

A ballpoint needle is made specifically for sewing knits and really helps with skipped stitches!

you don't need a special sewing company glue pen. The dollar store glue sticks are exactly the same. I use it a lot for quilting. I had the fancy sewing one, other than that it's pink, it's exactly the same. And they make the Uhu sticks in pink that fade when drying too now.

One extra tip; when changing the serger threads, I set all four tensions to zero. Then the threads slide right through like a warm knife through butter. 😊

I've also had skipped stitches because of a dull needle! So, if your machine skips, sometimes switching to a new needle might help.

Never have I seen a person more invested in actually learning something from these hacks without actively trying to debunk them first! I've used the glue one for many years, and the overlocker hacks are PRICELESS!!

As someone who has to remove every trace of any tag from a garment before I can wear it, watching you sew in a tag to something you made is wild!
