Starting to Sew
Hi! I’m Candi Cane-Canncel on behalf of expertvillage.com. This topic is starting to sew. So we’ve taken our piece of fabric and made little guidelines and what we’re going to be doing is actually stitching. Now when you start out it’s a good idea to use a contrasting thread from your fabric so you actually can see the thread itself. So you’re going to stick it under the piece of fabric underneath your presser foot, pull your little presser foot level down and start to sew. The lines are just an easy way to keep yourself in check as far as sewing a straight line. Now when you really get sewing what you’re going to want to do is once you start sewing you’re going to be using your reverse button so that you can back-tack and what back-tacking is it basically just holds your stitch in place. So you back-tack a few stitches and you just keep going…and when you get to the very end you’re going to want to back-tack again. Pull out your balance lever, pull out your thread and just cut it, that’s really all there is to basic sewing. For more information about this topic feel free to check out my website at candiland.com.
