Well... I'm not confident if my English is enough to publish a tut... hmmm... let me try!
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!

I love this idea. Thank you so much for the pictures. IT looks like the steel wool is a very fine grade. like I use for furniture refinishing. I will make one of these and try it. Very clever!

Great idea! What grade of steel wool. It comes in fine, regular and coarse. 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? |
Thank you for the great idea! And I think your English is just fine!!

thanks for the tut. i wouldn't sharpen the same needle too often, you may start having problems. sharpening can shorten your needle creating problems.
