Improve Your sewing skills in Just 4 easy steps

How you can Improve your  sewing skills in Just 4 easy steps

Step No 1: Always Cut your patterns very carefully.

When you  are swing something that has pattern pieces to cut. Make sure you press the pattern paper to avoid wrinkles. 


While   placing  pattern   see carefully the fabric grain:
If the pattern tells you to cut something on the grain, this means that you should line up that pattern piece in the direction of the warp thread that was used to weave that fabric. 


If you need to cut fabric in certain dimensions, make sure to measure twice before you cut.You can a ruler  to help you make clean, even lines that are also aligned with the fabric grain.
Step No 2: Always  Measure your seam allowances..
Remember that the seam allowance may change for different parts of a project so
Don’t just assume that any old seam allowance will work for every project, a slight miscalculation in your seams for one part of your project could mean that the entire finished product comes out the wrong size. 


 After sewing, make sure to clip around corners and curves. This reduces bulk and lets your project take on the proper shape.


Step No 3: Always Press your fabric

Use the proper pressing tools for your project, for curved edges or tight spaces it helps to have a pressing ham or a presser bar.


Use the correct heat setting for the fabric you’re pressing, and make sure to test a spare piece of the fabric with your iron before you press the actual project pieces.
You can use spray starch  that can help in pressing difficult fabrics or maintaining crisp lines.
Step No 4: keep in mind that Details make a difference.
Sew something by hand if your project calls for it.Hand stitching does take more time than using a machine, but sometimes it’s time worth spending in order to make your project  outstanding and  for tailor made look. 


You can highlight an area of your project,with decorative stitching to give it a professional look you  can use  sewing machine’s built-in stitches or hand sew some embroidery onto a project, these details really add that extra something unique to your finished project.
For home decor and garment sewing, piping is a great way to highlight a particular area of a project or to take an average, everyday item and make it something really special.
