Why Pressing Changes Everything
Pressing:
- Sets stitches
- Aligns seams
- Prevents puckering
- Improves accuracy
She believed pressing did half the sewing.
Cutting: Where Most Mistakes Begin
She always cut slowly.
No rushing.
No shortcuts.
Her rules:
- Sharp scissors only
- Flat surface
- Proper alignment with grain
- Weights instead of pins when possible
She said:
“You can’t sew better than you cut.”
The Thread Rule Nobody Talks About
Another overlooked detail:
“Bad thread ruins good fabric.”
She always used:
- Quality thread
- The correct weight
- Matching fiber types
Cheap thread breaks, tangles, and weakens seams.
