Re: Teach Yourself to Sew: Notions 101

Where can I find waxed tracing paper like the kind used in the video?

Re: As a sewist, what are you most thankful for?

I am most thankful for layaway. In these tough times, it's the only way I'm able to get the sewing machine of my dreams, a Pfaff 2058.

Re: How do you store your thread and other sewing notions?

I'm in love with ArtBin Super Satchel storage. I don't have a dedicated sewing room, so I have to maximize my space. The thread box keeps the spools organized and dust free. I have three more of the bins in different sizes for patterns and notions. My bobbins are in a Dritz bobin box. They sit by my sewing machine.

I have to admit I'm the most anal about my thread. It's arranged by color. I also keep a spreadsheet that lists all of the colors I own so that I don't buy duplicates. My goal is to get some index cards and make swatch cards for the stuff in my fabric stash. I need a way to keep track of the care instructions after the garment is made.
