Stitching Tip

If you're having trouble threading your needle, try a home-made threader.  Cut a piece of paper about 1/2" by 1 inch and fold in half the long way.  Sandwich your thread in the paper like a hot dog in a bun (only 1 end sticking out) and then thread the paper through the eye.  If it doesn't fit, cut the paper small until it does.
