You have got a new machine, and you want to make the most out of it. You are looking for tips and tricks that help you make the machine do what you want to achieve. Well, before we share those tips and tricks with you, here is something that you need to know: it doesnt matter whether the electronic sewing machine that you just bought is new or a used one; the thing that matters is you give yourself enough time to understand the machine, and what all it has to offer. Now, lets start with the tips and tricks:

Sewing machines user manual
Look for the user manual that had come with the household sewing machine. Peruse it. Its got everything that youll ever need to know (yes, Im little exaggerating). It also lists the common sewing mistakes that you can avoid when stitching new or old garments.

Practice on samples and scraps
Practice makes a man perfect. So start small, and start on samples and scraps. Sewing a simple, straight seam using a straight stitch is going to be the first thing that youll want to do with the machine. Once you develop confidence with the household sewing machine, you can get on the real things like sewing your own clothes and/or sewing for your friends.

Start simple
Start with a simple sewing project, and concentrate on learning to control the speed and settings of the household sewing machine. As said above, youll learn all the nitty-gritty of the machine in the due course.

Help online
If you have not checked yet, there are countless blogs and websites that can help you with sewing and knitting. And most of them are free!

Enroll for a course
Look for a course that helps you learn sewing. These courses wont cost you much, but youll learn some fantastic things about sewing. Best of all, youll meet people, who are also interested in sewing, and can help you find solutions to the problems that youll face. You can even take help from a relative or friend, whos been into sewing for a pretty long time. He/she can give you a world of information that you can put to use from the very first day with the machine.

Last, but not the least, invest in a good sewing machine, so that it doesnt break down every now and then, and ruins the fun that sewing has to offer.
