TIP OF THE MONTH

You probably already know to use a small piece of "leader" fabric to stitch on and then transition onto your project so you don't end up with the beginning threads thangling under the throat plate. But, have you thought about just using the same scrap of fabric over and over and over again? It looks pretty gnarly, but there is no need to toss your scrap after just a few uses.
