🪄 How to use the individual parts
-
Choose a needle and thread to suit the type of fabric.

🧠 Tips for efficient sewing
🔹 Use finer needles and delicate thread
for thin fabrics
🔹 For thicker fabrics (e.g. jeans), use thicker needles and higher-quality thread
🔹 Before sewing, test the fabric in a hidden area (e.g. inside the hems) to prevent damage to the fabric’s surface
