Materials:
- Safety pin
- Mini rubber band
Directions:
Sewing tip 1:
Unscrew the needle bar/clamp slightly, just enough to insert the body of the safety pin and lock it in place. Make sure that it’s attached with the end of the safety pin facing towards you. Insert a thread on the hole then start sewing, this will avoid your threads from tangling and will make it easier to sew especially for beginners. You can use and insert any type of thread in there; regular, yarn, garter, etc.

Sewing tip 2:
Tie an elastic hairband or mini rubber band on the end of a safety pin, then enclose it around the needle bar just right on top of the presser foot. The rubber band will avoid the safety pin from sliding across the throat plate. You can now use this as your DIY guide bar if you’re sewing machine doesn’t have it yet. Sew your fabrics and clothes evenly with this.
