- When using iron on adhesives {such as Vliesofix or Applifix} iron & heat your fabric first. You can then place your adhesive piece onto the fabric and it will lightly fuse and hold in place for when you permanently press it down with your iron. If the fabric is cool, sometimes the adhesive piece can slightly move as you start to iron.
- When working with fabrics where the right side is a lot like the wrong side it can be hard work trying not to get them mixed up. To help prevent this, once you have cut your pieces and removed the pattern, mark the wrong side with a piece of tailors chalk prior to sewing.
- One of the reasons sewers prefer not to pre-wash their fabric is because it loses the stiffness. Try adding starch to your wash. It comes in both liquid or powder form and will help retain some of the newness for the fabric.
