Ive alwalys wet my needle and it also makes a difference which end you use to thread the needle. The end you cut off of the spool goes in first and gets notted.
|
I never knew. Thanks.
|
Yes, it does make sense and I just recently read that tip and it works.
|
I've hand quilted for 20 yrs & didn't know that either. Gonna try it

Just wanted to share in case I wasn't the only one who didn't know that. Trina |
Didn't know that one - thanks. One tip I was given and it works for me is to place a piece of white fabric behind the needle - it's amazing how much easier it is to see they eye of the needle!

Yes use it all the time. Also wet it
|
My trouble with threading a needle is that they are making the holes way too tiny anymore, its too hard to see! haha
|
I had no idea, thanks!

Learn something new every day, and you will never grow old (well - maybe that is a stretch...) Thanks for the tip. I did not know that, so I am now younger!!
