sewing tip of the day

Who knew? Sharp needles are good.

Okay, just about everyone who sews knows that sharp needles are good. But I have just recently come to this revelation.

After years of being too cheap to change my sewing machine needle regularly, I’ve found it’s one of those things that really does make a difference in the quality of my machine’s stitching. Yeah, I know, that should be an obvious point (pun intended). But I have recently heeded that good advice to change them regularly and the payoff is great. Straighter stitching, fabric kindness, and fewer thread breaks. How much time have I wasted for the savings of 50 cents?! Yeah, I haven’t been the sharpest tool in the shed …

Do you have a tool of your trade that you have finally realized is especially worthy of your cash?
