Advice from experienced craftswomen on how to sew a knitted hat

To make your work easier and save your effort, money and time, we will share some experience and give some useful tips:

• When sewing on machines, use a slow speed to avoid damaging the material.
• An important rule is that the thinner the fabric you take, the narrower the needle should be to avoid the formation of snags and tears.
• Do not use a pencil to make marks; chalk or a sharpened piece of soap is best suited for these purposes.
• If the material crumbles a lot, then make more allowance for the seam than usual. This will keep the item from wearing out quickly.
• There are special needles for knitwear. Ask your nearest sewing store and buy this particular set.

This is not all the advice you will need for your work. Everything comes with experience, don’t be afraid of mistakes, try, and soon you will be able to make masterpieces yourself and give advice to others.
