#beginnersewing #sewingtips #sewingproject #sewing | #beginnersewing #sewingtips #sewingproject #sewing | By Tutorial sewing | Do you need a sewing machine cover? Is this what you want to make? Let's go make it. I started with one piece of fabric. 17 inches wide, 28 inches long. Now, I measured my sewing machine. I measured the height, the width, and then I measured all the way over to see how big I needed my fabric to be. You have a single patchwork or something similar. This probably works for you but measure your machine just to be sure, okay? So, what did I tell y'all? Oh, 17 wide long. Two pieces, six and a half inches wide, and 11 inches long. Now, if you wanted to quilt it, you would do that to all of these pieces before you do the next step. I'm using this precious tomato pin cushion fabric and it's cotton canvas. It's a little bit heavier. I'm not quilting mine but if you want to, I want you to. You would just quilt it first and then, you would follow these steps. This is for the outside of our sewing machine cover. Then, I have two pieces Six and a half by 11. In one piece 17 by 28. This is for the lining. So the lining pieces are essentially exactly the same as the front pieces. Only a different fabric. Measurements are the same. 17 by 28. Two six and a half by 11 for the outside, 117 by 28, two six and a half by 11 for the inside, okay? The first thing I'm going to do is lay my piece of fabric, see if I can find the corner for y'all. Up here in the corner. Now what we're going to do is we're going to sew it to here and then we're going to turn our piece of fabric and we're going to sew to here and then we're going to turn our piece of fabric and we're going to sew to the end. Just like this. Quarter inch seam, back stitch when you start, and when you stop because my grandma said so. You're going to get your quarter inch seam by following the edge of your fabric with the edge of your presser foot. I measured my sewing machine and added 2 inches. And when I get about an eighth of an inch, a quarter of inch an inch from the very end. I'm going to raise my presser foot. Pull this fabric over. And I'm going to start sewing again. Same thing, about a quarter of an inch from the edge. We want to put our needle down, raise our presser foot, turn our fabric. These covers are going to look so nice on all of my sewing machines. Hallelujah. Do you see that? Oh my goodness. Look what you just did. Now, we're going to go do the same thing to the other end. So, I measured the width of my sewing machine, added 2 inches. I measured the height of my sewing machine, added 2 inches and then, I measured from the bottom of my sewing machine up to the top across and down the other side and added two inches. Now, before you any further. Turn your cover right side out. Slip it over your machine and make sure that it fits because we don't want to keep sewing if it doesn't fit. Now mine is pretty generous. I made it loose because I'd rather a loose sewing machine cover than a tight one. Plus I'm just walking through slipping them over there and going on about my business. So this one is not super snug. But it's snug enough. Okay? Mine looks great. So I'm going to take it off. Now I'm going to do the same thing to the lining of the bag. I'm going to take my pieces and I'm going to sew them. Put the short side on the short side and you're going to sew the long side. You're going to sew here and when you get to there, you're going to turn your fabric sew and then turn your fabric and sew again and you're going to do that on both sides. Pretty side to pretty side. Back stitch when you stop and when you start. I cannot wait to see the sewing machine covers that y'all like because I know they're already going to be precious. Don't forget to email me a photo to Hometown Quill Company@Gmail. com because I want to see and so does everybody else. I love looking at your projects and my students do too. They're emailing me their photos or texting them to me so that they can be added to the show and tell because they want y'all to see what they're making. Okay. Now, you have your lining inside out. Here's the pretty side of your lining. You have your outside fabric, right side out. You're going to put your right side fabric down into your lining. Match up your seams. And then you're just going to sew in one big you're going to sew in one big circle. Leading a hole so you can turn it right side out. Y'all this is so stinking cute. And this is absolute reversible. So use two of your favorite fabrics. And then depending on your mood you can make your sewing machine as sassy or as sweet as you want it to be. Or depending on your sewing machine's mood. Cuz you know sometimes mine are sassy. And sometimes they're super sweet to me. Now we're going to put our hand in the hole that we left. Turn it right side out. Push out our corners. Y'all already know the drill. Fingers. Chopstick. Handy dandy tool. Do not use your scissors. I tell y'all all the time. But I know y'all do it anyway. After we have it turned right side out, then we're going to push the lining down into our cover and we're going to go iron it. I'm going to go iron mine. You go iron yours. I'll be right back. I'm back. I've ironed it and here's my hole. Now, I'm going to top stitch all the way around and when I top stitch, it's going to naturally close my hole and that's it. We're going to be done. So many of y'all have asked for a simple sewing machine cover tutorial and y'all this one is so easy, easy peasy, great for a beginner and it is super precious and the mat underneath the sewing machine, precious too. It makes a great combo. Super practical and spruces up your sewing room. Oh my goodness, y'all. It is so cute. Look what you just made in just a few minutes. My name is Tammy. I'm your favorite sewing teacher and I would love for you to come sew with me.

Sewing Machine

2.2K reactions · 33 shares | When sewing, the stitch length you choose depends on the type of stitch you’re using and the weight of the fabric. The stitch length is measured in millimeters (mm) and is generally adjustable on most sewing machines. Here’s a guide to help you choose the correct stitch length for straight stitching, based on fabric type or stitching purpose: 1.5 mm - Fine/Delicate Stitch Use for: Very lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, or organza. Purpose: Ensures fine, delicate seams that don’t pucker or distort the fabric. 2 mm - Lightweight Stitch Use for: Lightweight fabrics like voile or lightweight cotton. Purpose: Provides a secure seam while maintaining the fabric’s smooth drape. 2.5 mm - Standard Stitch Use for: Medium-weight fabrics like cotton, linen, or broadcloth. Purpose: A versatile stitch length for most general sewing tasks, providing a balanced seam that’s durable but flexible. 3 mm - Seam Stitch Use for: Medium to heavy-weight fabrics like denim, twill, or canvas. Purpose: Ideal for sewing seams on heavier fabrics, offering durability without excessive bulk. 3.5 mm - Topstitch/Heavy Fabric Stitch Use for: Heavy fabrics like denim, canvas, or upholstery fabrics. Purpose: Used for topstitching or sewing through thick layers, ensuring the seam lies flat and looks professional. 4 mm - Basting Stitch Use for: All fabric types. Purpose: A longer stitch length for temporary basting or gathering, easily removable or adjustable. These lengths cover most of your general sewing needs, allowing you to switch between fabric weights and stitch types with confidence.

162 reactions · 21 comments | Seam rippers: the best worst tool in quilting. Watch this slow and oh-so-satisfying seam rip in action! ✂️ Step 1: Accept the mistake. I know, it’s hard. Step 2: Break a few stitches. Just a little to loosen things up. Step 3: Hold the end of the block with the stitches you just ripped and ball tip down, slow and steady, start ripping the rest of the stitches in one smooth pull. Let the seam ripper do the work… ahhh, so satisfying. Step 4: Remove the evidence. Pick off those stray threads like nothing ever happened. Will I learn from this mistake? Probably not. But at least I have a trusty seam ripper! Do you rip your stitches like this? Have you ever tried it? #seamripper #quiltinghack #sewinghack #reellove2025 #rippinstitches #worstpartofquilting | Cynthia Hilfiger | Longarm Quilter
