Random Quick Tip!

Remembering Sewing Machine Settings
When working on a sewing project, and you need to remember what settings you had on your sewing machine between sessions, if your project is not done that is, write them down on a small sticky note and stick it to the front of your sewing machine so you will be reminded to set your sewing machine right after you turn it back on. I have to do this with my Brother SQ9285 since it resets itself after I turn it off.
