Many, many moons ago (maybe 20 or more?) I received the Threads Magazine The Best of Threads Garmentmaking Tips booklet. In it was the technique of using a pencil eraser to ease in fullness in a sleeve. I have used this method over and over and over again not only on sleeve caps but on any seam where unexpected fullness pops its ugly head. This one tip made sewing much less frustrating and enjoyable.

This would be great for making biased strips. What a time saver.

Love this machine. What a great way to use leftover fabric.
