materials

A running reference of the threads, elastics, needles, and notions and what each is for.

sewing


want to try

  1. fray away (so button holes stop fraying when I cut into them)

thread

  • sew all
  • top stitching thread - purchased but not yet used. Needs a top stitching needle, very thick!

notions

  • buttons

elastic

  • fold over elastic
  • braided elastic
  • woven elastic
  • plush elastic

needles

  • ballpoint
  • universal
  • microtex (good for light or difficult to handle fabrics)
  • stretch needle
