Sew Safe Presser Foot
Your sewing machine’s needle is one of the biggest dangers you face while sewing. If you’re not careful, you can sew right through your finger!
Luckily, you can buy a snap-on presser foot with tall sides and a top shield that can prevent you from accidentally putting your finger under the needle.
This Sew Safe Presser Foot is a ‘must have’ for beginners. It fits on most sewing machines and even comes with a low-shank adapter.
Ironing Thimbles
Irons are HOT! They can burn you…
How many times have you burned your fingers because you didn’t pull them away fast enough while ironing?
If this is a problem for you, you need silicone finger protectors. They are heat resistant, flexible, and offer good grip. You can iron your fabric without worrying about touching the hot sole plate anymore!
You can get ironing thimbles on Amazon, but Madam Sew also has an inexpensive pair. These little finger protectors will become a staple at your ironing board.
Rotary Cutter Safety Gloves
I love a good pair of sewing scissors, but rotary cutters are very useful, too! They make cutting fabric so much faster and more precise.
However, the exposed blades on rotary cutters are very sharp… You can easily nick your finger or cut your arm while using them.
If you’re worried about rotary cutter safety, you can buy some protective gloves to wear while cutting. Madam Sew sells a Safe Rotary Cutting Value Bundle that has a pair of protective gloves, as well as five 45mm replacement blades, and a suction cup ruler grip.
You can never be too careful while sewing. Also read my post on, 8 Tips to Avoid Injury While you Sew.
