Hump Jumperâ - the original one and only

The Hump Jumperâ, the bright yellow sewing notion with the catchy odd name, has been solving the frustration of stitching over “humps” – those places were varying thickness of fabric can throw a perfectly good seam out of line.  Sandy, owner of the SN Designs Co, invented the one and only Hump Jumperâ, still the only sewing tool for solving such frustrating sewing problems. 

The “hump” frustration is created when the presser foot is tilted out of the required horizontal position necessary for a smooth, even feed.  When the Hump Jumperâ is placed under the back of the presser foot, abutting the “hump,” the back of the presser foot is lifted keeping the presser foot horizontal allowing for an even, continuous feed without any skipped stitches.  Sewers know “humps:” a zipper at the bodice, belt loops, pants hems, drapery and craft projects, etc.

A bent piece of yellow plastic, the Hump Jumperâ is available in two thicknesses, 1/16^th and 1/8^th, perfect for solving frustrating problems like corners:  stitch to the corner, lift the presser foot, keeping the needle down, rotate the fabric 90⁰, place the 1/16^th under the presser foot, drop the foot and continue to stitch, sewing a perfect corner.  When attempting a bulky spot is at the beginning of a seam, place the 1/8^th Hump Jumperâ under the presser foot on top of fabric with the needle down, lower the foot, and sew. This step will work with seam starts of sheer fabric using the 1/16^th to stop “bunching up” at fabrics' edge, and the bulky spot when beginning to sew a patch pocket; just put the Hump Jumperâ under the presser foot before you start sew.

The Hump Jumperâ, the one and only sewing notion getting you over the “hump”.  Adding it to your notion box, right next to your Buttonhole Busterä and Puts-itä, you will have all the sewing notions that solve such frustrating problems!  Hint – use a piece of Velcro to attach it to your sewing machine, right next to your Buttonhole Busterä, they will always be handy when you need them!

The Hump Jumper® – Sew Clever!

The Hump Jumper® solves the problem created when a “hump” tilts the presser foot out of the required horizontal position for a smooth even feed.

The Hump Jumperâ idea originated when Sandy had a couture bridal shop in Beverly, Massachusetts.  Finding it frustrating to sew many layers of fabric with even straight stitches, she decided to invent something because sticking paper, wads of material, or whatever under the back of the presser foot was not the solution to her frustration.

Sewing since the age of four, Sandy knew if she needed this great idea, then every sewer in the world needed one.  The hardest part in the process was finding a mold maker that would make the injection mold and then convince them to create a mold to her specifications when they had no idea how to sew. Through a process of Show and Tell, the mold was finally made by a lady’s high-heel shoe manufacturer. When the orders started pouring in and the Hump Jumperâ  started moving out their door, the mold-maker nicknamed Sandy “The Hump Jump Lady.” The name has stuck with her.

The Puts-it™ - Sew Useful!

The Puts-it™ is the perfect notion for manipulating seams and fabrics: shaped to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand it's perfect for arthritic fingers.

The Puts-itä, if you use your imagination, you will see one end is the shape of a flat head screwdriver and the other, the tip of a pencil.  Yes, her corners have been turned with a pencil. Sewers understand there are no mistakes - just bits of added lace or trim! The screwdriver was used to control lace, ruffles, and gathers under the presser foot.  How many needles were broken! Now you have the Puts-itä, your third hand.

The Buttonhole Buster™ – Sew Simple!

The Buttonhole Buster™ with its rounded bi-level bottom allows the presser foot to sit snugly where seam allowances cause the general purpose foot or buttonhole foot to sit uneven.

The Buttonhole Busterä was requested by a friend who just could not sew proper buttonholes in collars or waistbands because of seam allowance. The Buttonhole Busterä, with its patented bi-level bottom, solves the problem of the presser foot not fitting in uneven places.

  

As a Fashion Design Professor, many of Sandy’s students also experienced these problems so she decided to find a solution for these Frustrating Sewing Problems. The solution:

The Hump Jumperâ, The Puts-itä, and The Buttonhole Busterä.

Happy Sewing,

Sandy
