When I’m teaching someone to sew, it’s incredible how so many little things go into it.
- Hold pickups like a pencil.
- When you throw a stitch, your fingers are NOT in the rings of the needle driver. Those are for opening and closing the needle driver only. You have to shift your hand back and forth. One position is for loading the need one is for throwing the stitch.
- When you are running a stitch, don’t use your fingers to load the needle. Instead, use your pickups.
- When you hold the tissue do it gently so to minimize bruising and vascular damage
And on and on and on.
I feel like a kung-fu master teaching minimal movements that all together add up to something amazing.
It’s no different when you’re doing any task. Minimize the wasted movements, practice until it’s a habit.
I’m doing the same thing with the Maximize Your Time & Efficiency. The goal is to pare down your studying and do a hand full of things that will take you the next level.
They’ll take you from that fumbling PA-s who can’t seem to throw a stitch without getting tangled in the string to someone who loves to sew because it’s relaxing and soothing (I’m not teaching suturing in the course. it’s a metaphor).
Today is Wednesday which means you have a few days left to pick up the sweet back to school 25% on MYTE. Check it out. Go through it, practice it and you’ll wonder why you were ever frazzled and freaked out.
