These were awesome tips!!! Thank you soo much! My best take was the threading the needle and watching the seam plate.
1. I sew on an almost 29 year old mechanical machine, so both thread holders are in the proper vertical position, with their little felt booties. 2. I am there for anytime needles are on sale. I have quite a collection, and I use an old prescription bottle to store them until I toss them in the trash (it used to be film canisters, but we switched to digital photos). This is important because I sew lots of silk and go through lots of teeny tiny very pointy needles. 3. When I was helping and instructing teenagers on the cosplay outfits (my kids and their friends), I would often ask them like a military drill sargent: "What is your favorite sewing notion?" And the response would be "seam ripper!" ;-) I would like to add: do not stress the mistakes because they then become design challenges.
Thanks so much for the wonderful tips. I learnt something new after sewing for 50 years.:-)
