One of the biggest pains in the butt for me when sewing is keeping the seams straight. It never fails that my fabric wants to travel and then that 5/8 in. seam becomes 1 in. then 5/8 in. then 1 1/4 in. then 5/8 in. Needless to say the seam ends up looking bizarre. I know seamstresses that can sew a straight line in their sleep---I'm not one of them. Ha! So I found a gadget to help me keep my seams straight.
It's called a magnetic seam guide and it works on any sewing machine. I purchased mine at
Atlanta Thread & Supply Company. It's a great place for all kinds of sewing/tailoring things.
Here's the gadget:
And here's what it looks like on the machine:
It's simply held on the machines faceplate by a powerful magnet. I love the thing! Here's to sewing straight seams forever.
