The Little Things

One of my favorite blogs, Grosgrain Fabulous

has been doing a feature on some of the large must- haves as a DIY'er.

I have agreed I think with each one.

BUT

I think some of the littlest things can make or break your final project.

1. Buy *GOOD* thread.

Why are you buying $10/yard fabric and sewing on a fancy machine

if you buy crap thread?

It is honestly what keeps sewn projects together.

So please, buy good thread.

My machine adores Sulky. It really skunks up when I buy cheap stuff..

*P.S. Thread does go bad..it does, I swear!

Please toss the old thread too..

2. Learn how to correctly wield your glue gun.

The glue gun is a fabulous invention,

but there are some preferred ways of using it.

Click here for some great tips!

Also, it makes such a difference if you go back and clean up

the dreaded glue gun strings.

I'll be back with more next week..
