Sewing Tricks and Techniques

One of the best parts of sewing is learning to use new tools and techniques.  A few months ago I found oodles and oodles of presser feet on Amazon.  Since I have only previously used the one that comes with your machine I decided to try just ONE new foot to begin with.  In December, I received the gathering foot.  Let me tell you, if you do not already have this foot and you sew skirts, do yourself a favor and order it!  This thing is amazing.  You just put your fabric in the little slit and it gathers for you! No more broken thread or  messy looking gathering…

Since then, I’ve expanded and purchased the set pictured above. The names of the feet are below and the name is highlighted, click on it. There should be a tutorial video for the use of the foot.  ENJOY!
