Sewing Face Masks

Check out Cathy’s blog post on sewing cotton face masks. She goes over techniques and materials and provides great ideas on making the masks both functional and beautiful.

If you’d rather make them in the hoop, there are several of our favorite embroidery sites that have posted patterns you can download:

Products for Making Cotton Face Masks

Sewing/Embroidery Machines

In terms of machines that are good for making masks, we’ve assembled a selection of high-quality, affordable sewing machines that will hold up to this project and all the other ones you may start while we’re social distancing. Once you start sewing, it’ll be hard to stop!

Steam Presses

In addition, check out Cathy’s blog on the Singer Professional Steam Presses. Learn how one of these presses can help you quickly prepare the fabric for facemasks.

Notions

If you are making masks in-the-hoop, then you’ll need some tear away stabilizer. There aren’t may stitches involved in making a mask in the hoop so a light or medium tearaway will work great.

We have stabilizers by Embellish, OESD, and RNK. Any one of these will work great.

If you are making a mask that needs to be turned right side out after sewing, then we recommend the RNK Precision Turning Tool or the OESD Expert Point and Press.

"We made a bunch with my new sewing machine you guys helped me get last weekend (again, thanks) but this was my favorite as far as material goes. These are two layered with a pouch for added filtering if someone felt a need. We used hair ties to hold to ears and pipe cleaners, folded in four for the nose bridge."
