Sewing multiple layers of fabric is often frustrating, imprecise, and rife with errors. A walking foot is a wonderful solution for sewists who frequently need to sew multiple layers, but it is not without its issues, either. Be that as it may, if you’re not getting the results you want out of your walking foot, don’t worry! The underlying problem might just be one that has a simple solution.

While standard home and industrial sewing machines share the same basic features and functions, the latter are built to withstand far more intense use over longer periods. Diving deeper into the subject, there are many reasons you might want to consider an industrial sewing machine.

You can’t always rely on elastic to hold your garments in place, and not every piece of clothing looks right with belt loops. You can always tailor a pair of pants, dress, or shirt to an exact size, but that means the wearer can never lose or gain weight.

Instead, you can add a drawstring for maximum flexibility and incorporate grommets to guide the drawstring for some added visual flair!

Whether you need an uncommon tool for a specific problem or find that standard, everyday tools and materials aren’t quite getting the results you want, you might find the perfect solutions in some unlikely places. After all, creative tasks often require creative solutions. Unique sewing notions are all around you if you know where to look.
