Fabric
Tubes - best pressing 'seam roll'
around...especially for pant legs. I'll never
forget, though, that when I was doing custom
dressmaking and my son was about 6 or so - I didn't
notice he had drawn all over the tube with red
crayon....UNTIL I turned the silk plaid pant leg
right side out and saw the embedded red crayon on
the pant leg for a customer! Loved that
drycleaner's magic! Sew.... hide yours. I'm sure
you can have one free for the asking at any fabric
store.
Painter's Tape or Post Notes -
quick and EZ for sticking on the bed of your machine
as a seam guide. I grab my roll of brown
half-sticky painters' tape frequently during classes
with my young girls. A Rubber Band can also be slid
over the bed of a free arm machine and easily
moved. Be a "Guide Watcher", not a "Needle Watcher"
for straight seaming!
