I keep the water soluble thread in a large pill bottle, labeled of course, with the thread on a bobbin. I only use the thread in a bobbin because once it is in water the top thread will pull away in one piece. And, it's simple to know what's in the bobbin since the pill bottle is still out and there isn't a bobbin in there, so it's a great reminder.

Nancy (nee’ Luedtke) Zieman, died 11/14/2017. May she rip. She was a sewing genius, and an inspiration to millions. I can not count the many things I learned from her. Her inventions are still saving time, & making our sewing lives easier. MSQC bought her company and her products are still available. Happy sewing 🧵!

You might want to try seam allowance magnets which you can attach to your scissors. I have four 5 mm magnets, which allow me to cut perfect 5, 10, 15 and 20 mm seams. I know different size magnets exist, so you can pick whatever suits your needs. And the best thing is: No need to add seam allowance to your patterns at all.

I inherited my mother's sewing machine when she passed away almost 17 years ago, and inside the storage box was this thing that I had no idea what it was. I've held on to it all this time because my mother was a very practical person and I believed it might be important. Now, thanks to you, I know what it is and I couldn't be happier! It's a "Bulky Seam Jumper"!!! Can't wait to try it! THANK YOU! 😊🙃😊

Nancy Zieman was AMAZING! I set my alarm early to get up an watch her on Sat. AM, and recorded her on VCR. Then everything changed to disc! RIP Ms. Nancy!

With the seam tape, if you line the corners of the block on the ¼ line, you can sew 2 lines of stitching on that block, cut apart and you get 2 half square triangles blocks!

Great to see so many people excited by a love of sewing!

The double sided sticky Tape Water‑Soluble, I find brilliant for holding "difficult" fabrics together before sewing, eg knits that would stretch out of shape or velvet that slides around.

As I sit here taking apart a test muslin to use the fabric again, I thought of your video and how the water soluble thread would make this easier. Thanks for sharing!

Bulky Seam Jumper was known as a Jean-a-ma-jig back in my day, when making your own 'designer' jeans was all the rage. Have had mine for at least 30 years - LOVE it.

To quickly press seams that are near to the edge of the garment, I prefer to use my old hair flat-iron. As long as you can control the temperature, it can be used on polyester fabrics and delicates as well as paper.
For keeping threads in check, cut a slot in the top of the reel. Then slide the end of the thread into that slot. This is easy, cheap and makes it easy to find the end of the thread when you need it next.

The seam roller is more useful when you're doing foundation paper piecing for quilts. It's meant to just give a quick press to get your seams flat before you add your next piece on, so you don't have to keep going back & forth to your iron when making quilt blocks this way. 🙂

Good ones, Alissa! Fusible thread is good, also. Just remember when you have it in your machine!

You have made my life a little brighter with your wisdom, teaching, and philosophy. Thank you.

You're a natural teacher.
Glad I found you.

Thank you for your very detailed presentation. You explain things so thoughtfully and thoroughly.

Make sure you keep the water soluble away from all the moisture (including moisture in the air on humid days / steam/ humidified rooms etc) i got told its recommended to put it in a bag with one of those moisture-absrbing crystal bag things that are in packaging of things alot.

Moisture from humidity can weaken the whole thread spool, which is frustrating as hell or a single drop of water can dissolve straight through and you end up with a bunch of tiny strings which is useless for almost all our sewing purposes.

I have a jade face roller that I use as a seam roll and press, it works great on my quilting cottons 😊

Fun to watch! Keep that dissolvable thread in a sealed plastic bag and it will last longer. I got the "Humper Jumpers" with my sewing machine after buying one. And that tape can be used to stitch on both sides of that center line - making two half-square triangles instead of just one with waste on the other side. I will have to look for that stretch thread! That could come in handy!
