What is a Sewing Notion? Top Ten Types of Sewing Notions All those little additional accessories that make sewing a real smooth job are called sewing notions. Sewing notions make sewing even better with its results and finish. If you are a sewist and have been sewing for quite a time now, you must be already having things on your items list what you can’t sew without. Below are top ten sewing notions that you might want to hold onto: Thimble There is hardly anything that denotes sewing better than this, i.e. a thimble. Thimble is a little piece of metal that protect the tenderness of your fingertips while you do hand sewing. And, especially while you push sharp needles penetrating thick fabrics. Interfacing Both fusible and non-fusible interfacing is utilized to ensure body and stiffness to the fabric. This makes appearances in shirt cuffs, collars, and accessories such as wallets and handbags quite frequently. Interfacing is available in certain weights, based on the fabric’s type you’re applying it to. You can know more about interfacing by using it. Stabilizer Stabilizers in sewing are actually life-savers as you sew with delicate, slippery fabrics. Spray stabilizer is no different than spray starch that you used during the ironing of the clothes. When clothes are dry, spray stabilizer makes the fabric papery, stiff and way lot easier to do sewing with. Once you are done sewing, the spray gets washed off right away. Although, you may want to test the spray first on any delicate fabric before buying. Safety pins Safety pins are humble enough to keep things friendly throughout the sewing process. While you tread elastic through casings, safety pins are much needed. Attach it to one end of the elastic and make it through the casing. Most sewists keep different size of safety pins in the drawers of their cutting-tables.
