Video: Do these Sewing Hacks Really Work?

Can you sharpen a pair of scissors with aluminium foil? Is soap better than tailor’s chalk? Is there a way to flatten a warped cutting mat? And can rubber bands keep the pedals in place?

I get so many interesting sewing tips from my viewers on my YouTube-channel. So I decided to do a video where I test some of the more radical sewing tips that I’ve gotten from you guys, to find out if I can make them work. And I highly recommend that you check out the comments on this video too on my channel, because so much additional information and tips are shared there.

In the video I also mention the Fiskars Scissors Sharpener (affiliate link) and while it doesn’t replace a professional sharpening, I have used it with great success on my less precious scissors both for fabric and paper.

I hope you enjoyed this video and if you have any more tips to share, please drop them in the comment section and they might en up in a follow-up video!
