Threading the sewing machine
Hi, For those of you , like me, who don't have an automatic threader on the sewing machine. I always wet the thread to get it in the eye of the needle, but a very wise person told me , and it works, wet the needle. Strange but true.
Cheers, Sandy

I have tried it, but it doesn't seem to work for me for some reason

When you wet the needle, the moisture grabs the thread and holds it while you push it through the eye of the needle. I teach all my kids in sewing class to do that. Thread is made up of several strands woven together. When you wet the thread, you release the strands and it starts to unravel, then you have to push several strands through the needle and we end up trimming the thread and starting all over. Also, you can buy needles with bigger eyes now. Most helpful!
