Why Quality Sewing Tools Are So Important

Quality Sewing Tools Are Important

The other day, I was at a friend’s house and I noticed that her husband was using her Bent Handle Fabric Shears to cut the wallpaper he was putting up in their dining room.

This bothered me not only because the shears were of such good quality and they cut the paper so smoothly, but also because he was dulling them without knowing the vital role they play in making her garments look professional.

Aside from the fact that good, quality fabric shears are an investment in the visual beauty of cutting out your fabric pieces, it’s also important to realize that when your sewing tools work perfectly every time you use them, they are a pleasure to use.

They also allow you to create an endless number of original garments that express your style and personality.

A few tips…

– make sure that you store your tools out of the view and reach of others who are unaware of their value.

– your sewing room or space needs more creativity and fewer rules; if it works, use it. Look around your home for an area or space that you can claim your own.

– the tools you’ll use just about every time you sew are essential for creating your projects should be readily accessible at all times.

– keep your marking equipment, needles, thread and thimble all together to accelerate your work and increase your accuracy.

– select a sewing or craft organizer with a handle and a secure latch so that you can easily carry your stuff without dumping it all over the place.  You can find organizers that look like small fishing tackle boxes at local fabric or craft stores.

If you don’t follow these vital (but easy) steps, you’ll make the same mistake that countless other beginner sewers make …and sewing can end up being a strain on you …
