Steps Required to SEW

"Life is more pleasant when we know how to go slowly".
In the Praise of Slowness, Carl Honoree explains why it is important to slow down in a world that is going faster and faster. Sewing is a good way to slow down and take time for yourself. To learn to sew takes time, patience, and rigor. But the results are worth it!



How to learn to sew? What are the stages?
When we start learning sewing, it is legitimate to think that it is difficult. Especially if you have friendships that have been launched and that make magnificent pieces. But in fact, learning to sew, is not that difficult. The important thing is to go step by step. Are you not a shopping fan? Learn how to make your clothes yourself!

Have a Good Sewing Machine
If you are not sure that the sewing is made for you, do not worry, you can always sell your sewing machine, but do not skimp on quality. A good sewing machine costs a minimum of € 150 from a sewing accessories shop. For less, it will not even sew properly.

Opt for a manual at the beginning, to be sure you know what you're doing. You do not need to rebut at the beginning. Be satisfied with a simple sewing machine. And learn to use it! It may seem obvious, but once alone in front of your machine, it can be intimidating at first. Read the instructions well and do not hesitate to ask for advice on its use from the seller and your friends and family.

How to Learn To Sew By Machine?
The base of the seam, is the sewing machine. It is not really the seamstress who sews, it is what guides the sewing machine, which becomes the extension of the dressmaker's hands. Using a sewing machine requires a little training.

The Basic Functions
When we start, choosing the sewing machine can be difficult. It is important to buy a machine that stands the test of time. You have to pay attention to two points: the weight and the price. To help you, these are the essential functions that the machine has to do:
• The straight point: used in 90% of cases,
• The zigzag point: also used to prevent a fabric from fraying, for example,
• The adjustment of the tension: it must be possible to adjust the thread tension manually (and automatically in certain cases),
• The free arm: to be able to sew legs to a pair of pants or the arms of a jacket,
• Overcast: perform this task,
• The elastic point: to join elastic fabrics such as stretch or knitted fabric.
