The Right Tools for the Job

We always manage to find a way to get things to work with what you have available.  The thing about that process is that it always take a considerable amount of time to complete.  The majority of your time is spent figuring out how to get it to work.  While we are always elated once we figure it out, but with the right tools it could have been done in half the time.

I’ve always done ruffles by hand using the techniques I was taught in sewing class.  As well as baste stitching items that are difficult to sew.  I’ve always wanted a ruffler my sewing machine, but they were always so expensive.  But the amount of time it takes me to hand tack ruffles is aggravating.  So I recently purchased a ruffler, bias tape foot and a corder for my sewing machine.  I found them on ebay for a decent price and I no longer dread those tasks using my sewing machine.

 Sometimes you just gotta break down and swallow your pride and the “i can do that” attitude and get the right tools for the job.  Creating is so much easier now.
