I love sewing! 🧵

Sewing is a wonderful hobby! It is not only creative but also incredibly satisfying because you hold something real in your hands at the end. To ensure your start goes smoothly and you don't give up in frustration, I have put together the most important tips for you.

You don't need a professional studio at the start. Begin with the basics:

• A solid sewing machine: It doesn't have to be expensive. A used brand-name machine (e.g., Pfaff, Singer, Brother) from a specialist dealer is often better than a cheap model from a discounter. It should be able to handle a straight stitch and a zigzag stitch.
• Good thread: Don't skimp here! Cheap thread often breaks or clogs the machine with lint. Stick to quality brands like Gütermann or Mettler.
• Fabric scissors: Use these only for fabric. If you use them to cut paper, they will become dull immediately.
• Pins or fabric clips: To hold the layers in place.
• Seam ripper: Your best friend at the beginning. Everyone makes mistakes, and this is how you undo them.
