If you’re a beginner in sewing, then one of the most important things that you need to learn is how to sew faster and use your machine more effectively. But, if you’ve been sewing for quite a while and aren’t familiar with this technique, then this is the right time for you to try this trick. This genius sewing hack is called chain piecing, it’s a system where you sew one seam right after another, you don’t cut the thread between each piece that links or chains them together until you finish all of the fabric that you need to sew. This makes sewing much faster because you don’t need to hold the thread at the end and cut it, then start and stop each seam, which is why you usually take a longer time than expected. Chain piecing will let you work on a bunch or a couple of fabric pieces in one sitting, and also creates a better and more systematic process in your sewing project. Learn how to do it easily with this video tutorial by SewVeryEasy on YouTube.
Materials:
- Fabric pieces
- Needle and thread
- Scissors or thread cutter
- Sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Take the fabric pieces that you want to sew together, then lay them together matching their edges nicely, and pin or sew them as is. Slide the pieces right in, then sew them together, push them and go a couple of stitches to overlap the fabric and allow some space for the next pieces.

Step 2
Match up the next fabric pieces, then slide them right into the machine, and stitch. Continue this process until you finish all of the pieces that needed to stitching, then start trimming the threads without cutting the fabric themselves.
