Re: Make stitching faster
Lisa, you put the thin loop of wire through your needle's eye (easier than putting a thread through the eye becase a) the wire loop is pointed and b) it's stiff), then you put your thread through the wire loop, then pull the loop with your thread back through the needle's aye and voilá, one threaded needle

Re: Make stitching faster
Have you tried using Thread Heaven? It is great for cutting down on knots and tangles.MrXStitch wrote:This is one of those moments of awakening that makes you go![]()
I always have long threads, thinking it's efficient, and then spend half my time undoing the random knots that appear and generally cursing at my work.
Ann_ may just have revolutionised the way I work!
