I get a lot of newsletters from different sewing companies/groups in my email inbox. The only reason I really stay subscribed is because I like to stay aware of what's trending and how things are going generally in the sewing world. I usually quickly scan & delete the emails.
Today's Seamwork newsletter had a tip, but there's an easier way to do the same thing without buying special pins! Don't bother with special pins - that just means you'll have to keep up with them and keep them sorted and separate from your regular pins! (How often do you walk away from your pins or scissors and then need them from across the room as it is?)
Swipe to see how I mark a start and/or stop point without special pins. Both of my examples are often also used by coworkers and make it easy to pass something off to someone else in the shop if you need to.
Do you have a favorite way of marking stop points?

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
I finally finished the quilt for my daughter. I couldn’t take pictures of the entire thing (her room is a disaster zone), but here’s some of the patchwork and the embroidered square I made because I ended up being one short. I did learn that I’m going to need to find a better way to lay out any future quilts that are twin sized or larger, because I had to keep shifting it around the slightly too small area of our basement carpet and the backing ended up getting doubled up in multiple places. By the time I discovered it, I couldn’t bring myself to unpick that much of the quilting, so it’ll have to stay. But I think it’s going to be awhile before I do any more quilts. Between this and the patchwork jeans (which I did end up having to shorten some), I’m feeling burned out on big projects for now. I did cut out a basic knit tee, so hopefully that’ll be enough of a palate cleanser to get me over the lack of motivation to sew that I was feeling by the end of this.
