The Original Hump Jumper® by SN Designs Co


Hump Jumper® - The One and Only

The Hump Jumper®, 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 Jumper® 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 Jumper® is available in two thicknesses, 1/16th and 1/8th, 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 1/16th 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 1/8th Hump Jumper® 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 1/16th to stop “bunching up” at fabrics' edge, and the bulky spot when beginning to sew a patch pocket; just put the Hump Jumper® under the presser foot before you start sew.

The Hump Jumper®, the one and only sewing notion getting you over the “hump”. Adding it to your notion box, right next to your Buttonhole Buster and Puts-it™, 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 Buster, they will always be handy when you need them!

The Hump Jumperâ, the original sewing notion of SN Designs Co, the company solving your frustrating sewing problems with the Hump Jumper®, the Puts-it and the Buttonhole Buster.

  1. I am going to add this link to my post about hump-jumpers. And I'll probably discuss it again one day soon. Thanks!
