Get Clean Stitch Lines


Have you ever had this problem?  Where the sewing machine thread gets possessed and decides to run amock!  Not only does it pucker your fabric, but the stitch itself is weak!! Relax. There's a solution and it doesn't require divine intervention.



The cause for all the grief is that the thread is being yanked into the sewing machine when a new seam is started, creating a tangley mess.  Instead, when you start a new seam, make sure to hold the tail thread taunt as you sew for the first couple of stitches.

Neat, clean lines are the result.  Beautiful!
