One sewing hack that can be really helpful is to use a strip of masking tape as a guide when sewing straight lines. #maskingtape #sewinghack
Masking tape sewing hack
Simply place a strip of masking tape on your fabric where you want your seam to be, and use it as a guide to keep your stitching straight and even.
This can be especially helpful when sewing long seams or when working with slippery or difficult-to-manage fabrics. When you’re finished sewing, simply remove the tape and you should have a perfectly straight seam!
You might be able to apply the masking tape on your sewing machine as a guide too. Just another option.

Barn Quilt Blocks: The Picasso of the Countryside – Ah, the humble barn quilt block – because nothing says “I’m serious about my rural aesthetics” like adorning your barn with what looks like a geometrically-challenged Picasso painting. Forget about actual farm work; it’s time to prioritize the artistic aspirations of your livestock. - Threadbare Tales: A Stitch in Time Saves Nine… Hours of My Life
Threadbare Tales: A Stitch in Time Saves Nine… Hours of My Life – In the riveting world of sewing, where needles are mightier than swords (and far more dangerous if mishandled), I embarked on a heroic quest armed with nothing but fabric and a questionable sense of optimism.

In a world where people once believed in the meditative power of pricking their fingers with needles, the sewing machine dared to challenge tradition and bring efficiency to the realm of fabric manipulation. The Revolutionary Sewing Machine: Because Hand-Sewing Was Too Mainstream Gone are the days when your grandma would spend hours meticulously stitching together garments with the precision of a surgeon.
