To start off, a good understanding of the basics is all that’s required, the rest is learn as you go. After purchasing your machine, your sewing machine accessories and notions are the next step in starting your first project.

If you’ve bought a brand new machine, whether it’s a brother, singer, baby lock, or any of a variety of makes on the market, the new model will come complete with many of the accessories you need to begin. 

For larger projects, or simply to keep on hand for future use, many of the mandatory accessories and tools can be purchased wholesale to save a little money and have a ready supply when the creative bug bites. 

Some of the accessories that you’ll eventually need are extra replacement needles, bobbins, pins, a tape measure or yardstick if working with great lengths of fabric, and a good pair of scissors. 

For your sewing scissors, it’s important that they be a set that you only use for sewing and working with fabric; using your sewing scissors for other household chores will dull the blades and lead to troubled use.  It’s also helpful to keep all of your sewing supplies in one place, so if you aren’t using a sewing machine cabinet, perhaps a sewing box or craft bag might suit your needs.

It’s a good idea to look over your pattern ahead of time to make sure that you have everything you need on hand, or purchase any missing accessories prior to sitting down with your project.  New buys for each creation may include a pattern, fabric, matching thread, buttons, zippers, and decorative accents. 

As you get further along in your creative wanderings, you may find the need to purchase other accessories to build your sewing arsenal and allow you to attempt more intricate projects.  Perhaps you’re in need of a new presser foot to accommodate a different type of creation, or furthering your embroidery design software is a must for your needs; building your inventory of sewing machine accessories can be both fun and relatively painless. 

Use your online sources to hunt down the best prices and learn more about different uses for your new accessories.  Better yet, go down to your favorite fabric store and have a look around.
