Sewing doesn’t have to be hard work, there are lots of tips and tricks that can help give disabled sewists an edge in creating beautiful works of art with fabric!
📌 Make sure to save this post for later, and share with a friend who may find this helpful.
Let’s get started 👉
1. Use a sewing machine with an automatic needle threader, which can make threading the needle much easier for people with vision impairments or fine motor skill limitations.
2. Consider using a sewing machine with a larger work area or an extension table, which can provide more space for maneuvering fabric and can be easier on the wrists and shoulders.
3. Choose lightweight fabrics and use a fabric stabilizer to make cutting and sewing easier.
4. Use a longer seam allowance to allow for adjustments and make it easier to sew straight lines.
5. Consider using a thimble or finger cots to make pushing the needle through fabric easier on the fingers.
6. Use a magnifying glass or lamp with a magnifying lens to make it easier to see small details.
7. Use a seam ripper with a large handle or a stiletto tool to make unpicking mistakes easier.
