30 Top Sewing Secrets
Today’s feature is from MaryRoehr.com with a full page of tips and hints for sewers with her article 30 Top Sewing Secrets
Using diagrams and before and after pictures that cover things like fit and alterations, you can really see how much difference can be made by just the slightest things.
Here’s a tip in the section for Pressing:
To extend the life of your iron and to avoid scorching fabrics, never turn your iron above the steam setting. More heat does not aid pressing–more PRESSURE and more steam when appropriate are the keys! Be aware that using the proper water in your iron is extremely important (many irons have been engineered to use tap water rather than distilled) and this together with emptying the water each time you iron can prevent spitting and leaking.
Plenty of good advice to be found :)!
