The Secret She Shared (And Why It Works)
Her secret wasn’t a stitch.
It was a habit.
“Always prepare the fabric more carefully than you think is necessary.”
Most sewing mistakes don’t happen at the machine.
They happen before the first stitch is ever made.
Why Preparation Is Everything in Sewing
Rushing is the enemy of good sewing.
According to her, problems usually come from:
- Fabric shifting
- Uneven grain
- Skipped pressing
- Inaccurate cutting
- Ignoring fabric behavior
She said:
“If the fabric is calm, the sewing will be calm.”
Step One: Respect the Fabric
Different fabrics behave differently.
A beginner often treats all fabric the same. A professional never does.
She always asked:
- Does it stretch?
- Does it fray?
- Does it shrink?
- Does it wrinkle?
- Does it slide?
Understanding fabric saves time later.
