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.

Whether you’re trying to save a buck or want to cut down on waste, there are plenty of materials available that don’t require substantial spending. Crafting is all about using your imagination, and you can find inspiring, unique materials and items to use for your projects in surprising places.

Everything mechanical needs some sort of lubrication to function properly. Sewing machines are no different! Just as your car needs regular oil changes to ensure the moving parts in the engine continue to move smoothly, your sewing machine needs oil changes, too.

Grommets are extremely functional pieces of hardware. They add strength to fabric, providing a sturdy place for laces, ropes, or ribbons. Without grommets, many common items — such as shoes, banners, tents, and tarps — would wear out after only a few uses.

Finding the perfect gift can be difficult — unless you’re shopping for a sewing enthusiast! Your crafty friends and family are always in need of more supplies and tools to create their projects. Take a look at this holiday gift list to find the right present for the sewing enthusiast in your life.
