As we kick off the new sewing year, here are 10 Quilt Resolutions essential to making your sewing experience better for the next 12 months.
Let’s dive into these helpful Quilt Resolutions :
- Refresh Your Tools: Have you noticed that your trusty rulers and cutting mats are showing signs of wear and tear? It’s time to prioritize replacing those aging tools to ensure precision in your quilting projects. A new ruler can make a significant difference in the accuracy of your cuts, especially for projects with half-square triangles. Consider treating yourself to a fresh set of essential quilting tools.
- Donating Unused Fabric and Scissors: If you have fabrics and scissors that are just gathering dust, consider donating them. Pass on the fabric that you know you won’t use, and give someone else the joy of creating with it. Additionally, declutter your sewing space by identifying those extra pairs of scissors that you aren’t using and sharing them with others who could benefit from them.
- Sewing Machine Service: It’s easy to overlook the last time your sewing machine received a service. Keep track of when your machine is due for its next servicing to ensure it operates at its best. A well-maintained sewing machine is essential for successful quilting and sewing throughout the year. Schedule a time to bring your machine in for a spa day and maintain its peak performance.
- Embrace Learning: The new year is an excellent time to set learning goals. If you’ve recently purchased a sewing machine and want to explore beyond the basics, consider enrolling in our popular Sewing Mastery online courses. Whether it’s mastering embroidery techniques or learning to re-hoop multiple times, our courses provide invaluable insights and guidance.
- Small but Significant Steps: Enhance your sewing experience by stocking up on a pack of a hundred needles. Changing your needles more frequently can lead to smoother and more successful sewing. Plus, you’ll save money by investing in a larger pack.
- Maintenance for Machine and Skills: Regular cleaning and upkeep of your sewing machine are essential habits to adopt. Build a routine for cleaning out lint and debris to prevent thread issues and maintain consistent stitching. Don’t forget to schedule regular maintenance for your embroidery machine, especially if it’s been several years since you last explored its latest features.
- Discover Unused Purchases: Take a moment to identify any items in your sewing room that you’ve bought but haven’t opened. Evaluate if these items align with your current sewing plans. You might find that some unused purchases could be donated to make space for projects you’re truly passionate about.
- Utilize Online Resources: Utilize the power of technology for sewing-related queries. You’ll be surprised by how many answers you can find with a simple Google search for sewing and machine-related questions.
- The Happiness Project: Consider starting a Happiness Project to document positive experiences throughout the year. This simple practice is a great way to reflect on your sewing achievements and cherished moments.
- Support and Engagement: Finally, I’d like to encourage you to engage with and support content creators like us by liking and subscribing to our YouTube channel.
