2. Reinforce Seams with Backstitching
In order to keep your seams from unraveling over time, finish each line of stitching by going back over the last few centimeters. This technique—called backstitching—adds durability to garments and any sewn items.
3. Pin Diagonally for Better Grip
Instead of pinning perpendicular to the seam, try placing your pins at an angle. This helps the fabric stay in place better and reduces slipping. Plus, it makes the pins easier to remove as you sew, helping to keep your lines straight and smooth.
4. Make Strong Knots with Minimal Effort
Here’s an old favorite: wrap your thread around the needle several times before pulling it through. This creates a tight, neat knot that won’t come undone in the wash and gives your project a clean finish.
5. Repurpose the Hole in a Safety Pin
