1. SEW FOR FUN... (Yes, It's O.K. to have a good time sewing!)

2.  DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE RUSHED THROUGH A PROJECT (Enough Said.)

3.  PLAN AHEAD (Maybe this should have been Tip #1...)

4.  STUDY YOUR PATTERN

5. DON'T TRY TO EXCEED THE ABILITIES OF YOUR SEWING MACHINE

6.  USE A COMFORTABLE CHAIR AND TABLE HEIGHT

7.  ORGANIZE YOUR SEWING SO THAT IT IS ACCESSIBLE

8. MINIMIZE YOUR TRIPS TO THE STORE BY MAKING A LIST BEFORE YOU GO SHOPPING... (Also cuts down on what you might be inclined to buy just "browsing")
