Do you ever struggle with that mess of thread when

Do you ever struggle with that mess of thread when you start stitching?🤔

Here is our tip to help prevent that! 👇

When stitching your side seams along your bag, try to use thread and bobbin colours similar to the colour of your material. Don’t want to use up that pretty thread? Try using grey instead of black or white! Surprisingly, grey hides beautifully for most colour prints, so you can save the pretty colours for topstitching! Along with matching the thread, use a smaller stitch length. This helps to prevent gaps when the bag is sewn.

What's your tip of the day?🤔
