Hello,
It has been a long time since I last blogged. In this time, I learned few things like sewing, baking, quilling and also tested few diet routines. From the past one year, I am stitching my own dresses. I always had the wish to share my sewing experiences with you all. In the meanwhile, I did a lot of practice to stitch a decent dress.Here is my first attempt at sharing my sewing ideas.
To make a dress more appealing one needs to give proper final touches like piping, making pleats, adding lace to the frock etc. The pain comes in doing piping neatly in a prefessional way. It's not only time consuming but even a slight disturbance while sewing spoils the whole look. There is an old saying that a lazy man will have more ideas on how to do a work easier. That is where you have foots for sewing machines. Now you may be wondering that what is meant by foot?
A foot is a plate which you attach to the sewing machine. Typically it is attached to the rod near the needle, so that the needle comes in the middle of the plate to give stitches to the cloth.A foot is a handy accessory for the people who aim for perfection. Foots play a major role in stitching. Without the foot we cannot stitch anything in a sewing machine and it's the place where the two threads join together and gives stitching.Allmost all sewing machines comes with Basic foot along with some accessories.
First few months I tried with basic foot and felt that I need a bit more perfection while doing things like bias binding, piping, pleats and making an applique design.There I felt the need for foots. I purchased foots like piping, 1/4th seam, piping and a few more online.The perfection which comes from the specialised foots makes these foots really worth investing.
As foots make a difference in sewing so as pattern making, Pattern making needs a lot of creativity to imagine how the dress should look like. Before I jump directly into pattern making, I would like to share about some common foots which I use in sewing. Believe me, it's worth having these foots at home. One foot which I admire more is "All purpose foot". It is just awesome, I stitched my son's torn shoe velcro with the help of this foot.
Here are some of the foots which I am currently using.
