So many people think they'll never sew because they "can't sew a straight line". I've taught numerous children to overcome this issue and have collected some useful tips along the way.

00:00 Intro
00:28 About seam allowances
01:27 General principles - don't sew when tired or in a rush, don't sew too fast or slow, look at the edge of the fabric, not the needle
02:38 About needle plate markings
03:40 More general principles - have well cut fabric, secure your fabric layers well, remove pins carefully, how to place your hands, about sewing speed
07:32 Determining seam allowance using needle plate measurements
09:22 Technique 1: Sew with the edge of the foot against the edge of the fabric
10:31 Technique 2 (most effective for many people): See one number but not the other
14:09 Use a tape guide
16:00 Use a magnetic seam guide
16:59 Use a blind stitch hem foot
18:29 Outro and challenge!
