Not always we can comply the rule of needle exchange every 8 hours of use... but we can easily notice when the needle is not as sharp. I'll show you how to make your own sharpener at home. Cut a 7"x5" rectangle in cotton fabric. Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening and forming a little bag. Place inside a piece of steel wool. Close it with little blind stitches. Ta-da! You're ready for sharpening your needles. All you need is to sew (needle without thread) this sharpener forward and backward, just a few times!

So to be safe, think carefully before making these. |

Hmmm... Houston, we'd had a problem!
My English was the 1st point I was not sure to publish it... the material thing was the second... LOL... I would say it should be the fine one. Here in my country we use it for shining pots... does it help? |
