As I was sewing this morning, I had to change my sewing machine needle. If you're anything like me, you probably don't always remember what size or kind of needle you last put in your machine.
I learned this tip by watching Sandra Betzina on her TV program "Sew Perfect". Each time I change my needle, I write the size and the type of needle I am changing to on one of those coloured sticky dots you can buy at office supplies stores.I stick it to the front of my machine.
I do the same thing for my serger.
It's a very simple yet effective way to always know what size needle is in there.
Hope this helps somebody! Happy sewing!
Oops, I should have read on and I would have seen this! Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Sandra?
Thank you for such a marvellously simple idea!
ReplyDeleteHave only just found your blog; as a new sewer I was trying to find out information about needles to use for denim and found you :)
