It needs to be able to pierce through all the fabric you are working with without causing harm to your fabric and keep put until you are able to return them to a cushion or tray. There are several different kinds of pins for sewing and quilting. The majority of pins have the ability to allow stitches while still in the fabric. If possible choose flat-headed pins to sew over. Always check the care instructions for the pins if they are safe to sew over as well as if they ar ..read more

SEWING MACHINE TENSION How does tension affect the outcome of a stitch? "Sewing machines are factory preset to have the top and bottom thread form even stitches when sewing with a 50 or 60 wt. thread.

However, if we use cotton thread on top and polyester thread underneath, or metallic thread on top and polyester thread underneath, or a heavy thread on top and a fine thread underneath, it is necessary to adjust the tension settings. It is perfectly OK to use different thread types and weights on ..read more
