The first trick: how to choose the sewing thread cleverly?
1. How to choose the color of sewing thread?
When sewing clothes at ordinary times, be sure to choose a sewing thread that is similar to the color of the clothes.
2. How to choose sewing thread?
When selecting sewing thread. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that you choose the sewing thread of 402 specification; be sure to polish your eyes when choosing, choose: the thread surface is smooth, high-strength is not easy to break, and the color is also diverse, so that it is more comfortable to use.
If the sewing thread is not bought well, and the thread is always broken or jumped, then there is no intention to devote itself to sewing.
ps: The smooth sewing thread will not block the needle hole when sewing, reduce the needle thread friction, and will not cause the sewing thread to heat up too fast or break.
The second trick: how to choose the sewing machine needle cleverly?
1. General sewing machine needle selection:
Different types of sewing machine needles should be selected for different fabrics. On the market, the commonly used sewing machine needles are 9-18, and the most commonly used model is 14!
When choosing a sewing machine needle, be sure to keep your eyes open. Choose: the surface of the needle hole is smooth and round, the surface of the needle is smooth, and the needle body is hard and durable.
2. Special sewing machine needle selection:
When sewing down jacket fabrics, a special anti-fleece needle should be used.
ps: The tip of the needle is specially treated to reduce the risk of lint drilling.
For thicker woolen materials, corresponding leather needles can also be used.
ps: In short, use a small needle for thin fabrics, and use a large needle for thick fabrics.
The third measure: Before sewing the fabric, first understand the characteristics of the fabric.
Before sewing fabrics, we must first understand the characteristics of fabrics, especially some fabrics that are easy to shrink, such as linen and silk.
At this time, it is necessary to make the shrinkage setting in advance to facilitate subsequent sewing.
The fourth measure: before sewing and ironing, iron and set the shape first.
After the fabric is cut, don't worry before sewing! Be sure to use an iron for ironing to keep the fabric flat.
Special emphasis: especially some parts that need to be hemmed, such as: trousers, cuffs, skirts, etc.; these parts that require ironing and shaping must be ironed and shaped in advance, and then start sewing.
Fifth trick: When sewing, cleverly fix it with a pin.
When sewing some special parts, such as upper collars, cuffs, zippers, etc., be sure to use bead needles or pins for fixed positioning.
ps: If you are afraid that the pinholes of the bead needles are too large, the fabric will be damaged.
You can also fix it with the help of cloth clips. After all, if you are not a skilled sewing master, the success rate is still very high.
Sixth trick: learn to adjust the parameters of the sewing machine.
As a novice sewing machine, when I first bought the sewing machine home, I often adjusted the parameters on the sewing machine and couldn't start. Now teach everyone how to watch!
1. Explanation of parameters:
The three parameter dials on the sewing machine, from left to right, are: tension, stitch width, and stitch length;
Tension: Determine the tightness of the stitches when sewing, the larger the number, the tighter, otherwise the smaller the looser;
Needle width: Determine the left and right width of the stitch when sewing. It is used for zigzag stitches. The larger the number, the greater the left and right swing of the stitch, and vice versa.
Stitch length: Determine the front and back distance of each needle hole of the stitch when sewing. The larger the number, the wider, and vice versa, the smaller and narrower;
When sewing, you must try more and match each other to achieve the most perfect result!
Seventh trick: Use tweezers to assist in sewing.
In normal sewing, it is recommended that you try to push the fabric with tweezers, keep a constant speed when sewing, and slowly step on the sewing pedal to maintain the stability of the fabric as much as possible to ensure that the fabric is not distorted or misaligned.
