Random Quick Tip!

Cheap Basting Thread
Use old sewing thread as hand basting thread. Since it is probably no good anymore in the sewing machine, keep it on hand for when you want to need to baste what you are making with thread. You can also use any thread that you don't know what it is made of. Also, when basting with thread, be sure to use a color that is highly contrasting to the fabric you are basting.
