Keep your needles sharp You can keep your needles sharp by sewing over a piece of fine grade sandpaper. Piping on expensive upholstery and pillows Have you ever wondered how they make the piping on expensive upholstery and pillows? It’s easy simply cut your fabric on the bias – you will need more yardage to cut fabric on the bias so be sure to buy plenty. After cutting the fabric wrap it over the cording and using your zipper foot sew as close to the edge of the cording as possible. You may need to move your needle left or right to get close enough to the cording to sew it properly. What is the best thread to use for general sewing? I am often asked what is the best thread to use for general sewing? I generally suggest using a good quality polyester thread.
