How to Recover a Sewing Machine Case<\/h2>\n

Recovering a sewing machine case can be a fun and creative outlet for those who love to sew. It allows the sewer to truly make something unique and to add a personal touch to it. There are several steps involved in recovering a sewing machine case. From choosing the fabric and notions, to preparing the fabric and machine, to cutting and stitching the recovered fabric. Each step has its own unique and important purpose. Let’s look at each step separately so we can get a better understanding of the process involved.<\/p>\n

Choosing the Fabric and Notions<\/h2>\n

The first step in recovering a sewing machine case is to choose the fabric and notions. Consider the use of the case. Does it need to be durable, waterproof, flame retardant, machine washable? Not all fabrics can be machine washed and will need to be hand washed and ironed. The type of fabric needed should be thought about and researched. Additionally, the notions needed, such as thread, zippers, elastic, and Velcro, should be chosen so they match the fabric and agree with the purpose of the case.<\/p>\n

Preparing the Fabrics and Sewing Machine<\/h2>\n

Once the fabric and notions have been chosen, they need to be prepared for the machine. A washer and dryer are needed for some fabrics, as well as iron and board for the pressing of all the fabric pieces. Depending on the type of fabric, an appropriate needle needs to be chosen and sewn onto the machine. In addition, a thread and tension suitable for each fabric has to be set in order to get even and consistent stitches and seams. <\/p>\n

Cutting and Stitching the Fabric<\/h2>\n

Once the fabric and machine are prepared, and the pattern pieces for the case have been cut out, it’s time to start stitching. A great tip for selecting the stitch length is to use the same stitch length that was used on the fabric before washing. This ensures that the seams remain even and have a professional look. Once the pieces have been stitched together, the edges need to be finished by either serging, overcasting, binding, or with a Hong Kong finish. This will give the case a professional and clean look.<\/p>\n
