I hope this is the correct section for this question? I'm practicing some hand quilting on a practice piece I found from taking a class years ago... was having a terrible time threading the needle, so tried using a needle threader and broke the top of the needle off, to two needles! It doesn't look like it should be a difficult thing to thread a needle, and perhaps I'm not using the correct technique (I tried to do just like the images on the package, along with my common sense)... I can't seem to get the thread and threader back out once I've put the thread through the threader...
Am I doing something wrong? Should the needle break off? Any ideas?
For now, I've abandoned those needles and found one (ONE) I can thread more easily... I'm also headed to city to buy more needles... all I've found to use are those from my mom's things and they appear to be pretty old.
And, by the way, I'm loving the practice!! I have a LONG way to go to achieve small, even stitches, but I'm loving it!!
