The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew, Part One

We generally think of two or three different ways to stitch most techniques, yet we generally use just one method. Which one? The absolute easiest way, of course!

This week’s featured online Sewing With Nancy program is the first of a three-part series on The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew.

Use just a few pins for pattern layout.

Starting with pattern layout, cutting, and marking, learn ways to streamline and improve your sewing skills.

Do sewing darts have you in a dither?

Learn how to use an index card or sticky notes as the sewing guide for effortless dart stitching, It’s the next Absolute Easiest technique.

One size does not fit all when it comes to sewing gathers!

The type of fabric, the width of the seam allowances, and the project dictate the absolute easiest way to add gathers to fabrics. Nancy Zieman show’s you four options during this TV episode, plus there are more in the book,  The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew.

Changing the rules is part of the sewing game.

When adding elastic to knits, you’ll find this, by far, the simplest way to a sew casing. You’ll be stitching less and enjoying it more.

There’s a secret trick when sewing a casing in sportswear.

You’ll think to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that!” ( Watch online for the trick.)

All of Nancy’s favorite sewing tips are in one book.

The randomly selected winner of an electronic quilt pattern created by Tammie Bowser, plus a video course in her stitched art techniques. Tammie will personally create the winner’s quilt pattern using their random photo, is Jackie Cheek.

Her comment is: I have two thoughts in mind, I would Ike to do one of my family when we were all much younger. My mom’s birthday is in November and it would be such a surprise for her. I think I only have the picture in black and white but I can check on it. I have it electronically and it would need to be enlarged. The other idea is to surprise my brother with his because he’s always been supportive of my creative interests.
