What’s the Purpose of That Tiny Hole in a Safety Pin?

Modern sewing is full of gadgets, but some old-school techniques are making a comeback—for good reason.

The secret weapon? Beeswax.
Running thread through beeswax prevents tangles and strengthens seams, making stitching smoother and sturdier.

More timeless tips:

  1. Mark fabric with dry soap – It’s cheap, washable, and won’t stain.

  2. Backstitch to secure seams – Go over the last few stitches to prevent unraveling.

  3. Pin diagonally – Keeps fabric in place and makes pins easier to remove.

  4. Easy, strong knots – Wrap thread around the needle for a tight, clean finish.

  5. Use a safety pin hole – Thread string through it to guide elastic or ribbon with ease.

Sometimes, the best tricks are the oldest. Try these vintage hacks to make sewing faster, cleaner, and more fun!
