Sewing:
- The right tools make completing your projects easier, faster, and more enjoyable.
- Organize your tools, fabric, stash, and sewing books. An organized place is a happier, more relaxing place to sew.
- Make a list/pictures of all the tools and feet that you have and keep the list in a fire/tornado safe place. If ever needed, it will make replacement much faster and easier.
- Have a good stash of needles on hand. It makes changing them much easier.
- Have on hand all the different types, sizes, and tips of needles that you might need.
- Bring your machine in for a tune up once every year.
- Do you have both an old and a new Bernina machine? The feet are not interchangeable. Here’s a fun way to remember which belong to which: older machine feet, before 1997, belong to the Black Food Tribe and newer machine feet, after 1997, belong to the Red Foot Tribe. This refers to the color of the numbers on the feet.
Embroidery:
- Wonder Tape on the bottom of your inner hoop will help you keep things where you want them when hooping.
- Don’t skimp on stabilizer, it just doesn’t pay.
- Sign up for embroideryonline.com e-tips. Emails come with great info! Take time to check out the e-tip archives.
- It’s always a good idea to clean off your hoops when they get gunk on them from stabilizer, it makes everything easier to hoop.
Tech:
- Sign up for berninausa.com emails and webcasts virtual classes. Great info!
- Check out the OESD & Bernina for free embroidery designs.
