    Save Time, Money, and Your Machine with THIS Tip!

    Your sewing machine, all of the sudden starts acting up and you start wondering.. what's going on?

    You have been sewing your project just fine, but then, all of the sudden, your machine starts giving you tension issues, the thread snaps or even the worst happens, a broken needle! NOOO!!!

    I can tell you, a lot of times these problems can often be traced back to one thing: not changing your needle at the right time!

    Today, I’m going to share one simple rule that can save your sewing machine from unnecessary wear and tear, and keep your projects running smoothly.

    Did you know that sewing with a worn-out needle can damage your machine?

    When the needle becomes dull, it doesn’t pierce the fabric cleanly anymore, which is what leads to all these problems.

    A needle that’s been overused can also bend or break, which eventually, if this is a constant problem, it can cause damage to your machine.

    These issues can be avoided so easily if we only knew exactly when to change that needle. 

    The Simple Rule for Needle Changing

    There is a known "fact" I guess you can call it, saying we should change the needle every 6 to 8 hours of stitching time.

    We'll I don't know about you, but to me it's kind of impossible and ridiculous to keep track of every second or minute I'm actually using the sewing machine for a project. 

    So, how often should you change your sewing machine needle?

    Here’s my golden rule: Change your needle every 3rd bobbin.

    Yes, that's is pretty much it! 

    I share more information in my video above if you want to watch it, but bottom line, that's is what you really need to keep track of.

    Change the needle every 3rd full bobbin that you've used up and you will save unnecessary headaches and possible expenses.

    Happy Sewing! 😊✨

    What It Actually Does

    Ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogen - a substance that helps the body adapt to physical and psychological stress. But that description undersells the specificity of the evidence.

    In peer-reviewed clinical trials, ashwagandha root extract has been shown to:

    01

    Reduce serum cortisol levels significantly in adults under chronic stress

    02

    Support testosterone levels and muscle recovery in resistance-trained adults

    03

    Improve subjective measures of stress, anxiety, and wellbeing

    04

    Improve subjective measures of stress, anxiety, and wellbeing

    05

    Improve sleep quality and reduce time to sleep onset

    Why The Form Matters

    Here is where most supplement labels become misleading.
    The clinical trials that produced the evidence above didn't use generic ashwagandha root powder. They used standardised, patented extracts - specifically KSM-66® and Sensoril®, both of which are produced from roots using proprietary extraction methods that concentrate the active withanolides to a consistent, clinically meaningful level.
    Generic ashwagandha powder can contain anywhere from 1% to 8% withanolides. KSM-66® is standardised to a minimum of 5% withanolides with a full-spectrum root extract, which means it retains the natural balance of the plant's compounds rather than isolating one component.
    When you buy a supplement that says "ashwagandha" without specifying the extract form, you have no way of knowing whether it contains enough active compounds to do anything at all.
    At Arise, we use KSM-66® in every formula that contains ashwagandha. It's more expensive. It's worth it.

    Third-party Testing

    Supplements are not regulated the same way pharmaceuticals are. In most markets, a supplement company can put almost anything in a capsule and make almost any claim about it, as long as they don't claim to treat a specific disease.
    This is why third-party testing matters. It means an independent laboratory - one with no financial relationship to the supplement company - has tested the product to verify that:

    1. The ingredients listed are actually present
    2. They're present at the stated concentrations
    3. The product doesn't contain contaminants, heavy metals, or undisclosed substances

    Look for: NSF Certified for Sport, Informed Sport, or USP Verified certification on any supplement you take. These are the most rigorous third-party standards available.
    Every Arise formula is third-party tested before it reaches you. The results are available on request.

    The Honest Bottom Line

    Ashwagandha works. The evidence is genuinely strong. But the quality of the extract determines the quality of the outcome — and most of what's available on the market doesn't use the forms that the clinical research actually studied.
    Read the label. Ask for the extract form. Expect a specific answer.
