This sewing tip is called “the Secret of the Red Dot” and, I kid you not, with 50+ years of sewing experience this is the first time I have ever heard it!
Have you seen seam ripping tools? They are hand-held and have a sharp point. There is also another protrusion with a little red ball … a red dot… on the end. How many times I have poked holes in the fabric? Ugh, and it could have been so easily avoided.

Before I say it what the secret is, just watch this quick video where I learned this nifty “best kept secret” tip!
So, here’s the BIG SECRET if you insert the point that has the red dot, instead of the sharp point, and rip a seam, you will not put holes in the garment! So simple. So unknown-ish. OK, someone out there knows but I sure did not. LOL!
Anybody know what that red dot on your seam ripper is there for? Why did it take me so long to find out??? #sewing #tips #today Share on X
Anyhow, I got so excited that I just had to tell someone. So, I told you!
Enjoy!

Another great idea: pre-wound bobbins with matching thread spools.
For those of us whose sewing machines no longer wind bobbins, this is a DREAM COME TRUE! ad
