A Bit of wisdom and a flimsy


 
Same fabrics different grouping of the background fabrics.
It’s amazing how fast a quilt top comes together when I put a concentrated effort into it.  Like just sitting down to sew for a bit.  And getting the needle threaded, that seems to get more challenging as I get older.  I realized something today that makes threading the needle so much easier. There is that groove in the needle facing you as you sit at the machine……if I aim for the groove with my freshly cut thread (no long fibers from breaking the thread) get the thread in the groove then slide it toward the eye and change the angle of the thread from diagonal to more horizontal the threads slides right into the eye!  Easy peasy more easy peasy than the needle threader! Happy threading —Ann —
