First! Once threaded I like to take the thread end and pass it back through the eye, then pull the loop down and over the needle point then slid up to behind the eye. I learned that on here and it just feels so secure as I have to do one stitch at a time. Only time its a pain is when you want to "un-sew" a few stitches, then re-thread and continue.
Great tip! I will try this. I am also going to order some Roxanne needles. Hope that with the larger eye, I can use the thicker quilting thread.
