help me with sewing?

Question

Answer 1

Here are some links to get you started. They explain it a lot better than I can! (And they come with pictures!)

To knot the thread: http://www.wikihow.com/Thread-a-Needle-and-Tie-a-Knot

Here are some simple stitches. You use whatever stitch is appropriate for what you are trying to do. A hem stitch for hems, a running stitch or back stitch for mending etc.: http://www.alternative-windows.com/stitches.htm

Tie the end of the stitches: http://www.moonlightquilters.org/tipquiltersknot.htm

Hope this gets you started!

Answer 2

If your sewing by hand pull out as much thread as you think you have to have to sew what you are working on. Tie a knot at one end {the longest }and it will keep the thread from slipping through the material and start sewing.

Answer 3

You want the thread tail to go under the pressure foot, and back (away from you). To avoid a thread cluster on the bottom of your project, you may want to hold the thread tail when you start sewing (just until you get going).

Answer 4

if you are sewing by hand...tie the ends of the thread in a knot;
by machine...let the pressure foot down, make sure the power is on and mash your pedal...
