I second that answer about putting a white paper behind the needlw. Also, I dont know what kinf of machine you have but I have a Babylock and it only takes a $4.00 part that you slide off the old one and slide on the new one.

Great suggestion with the lip balm. I notice using bees wax (run the thread through once or twice) while I hand quilt makes it SEW much easier to thread the needle (makes it a lot stiffer). I know how frustrating it is when you can't seem to get it!
