NATIONAL SEWING MONTH - DAY 7...

...
SEWING TIP OF THE DAY
(Maybe you've heard this, but just in case you haven't) 

For perfectly straight top-stitching place masking tape along the edge of fabric to establish a stitching guide to follow. Just stitch along the edge of the tape then remove the tape when you are finished.

    Hmmm! I may need to add a sewing tips section to my sewing reference binder.

    I've not tried that, though I wonder if they make tape with graph paper like markings you could use for nice even hand sewing.
