You're welcome.
Leftie, dyspraxic & RA so I have to find workarounds.

Thanks for the eye thing, I got started with needle & thread about 5 I think, it didn't register until you mentioned it, but sometimes twiddling it helps.

If you have trouble threading your needle, try turning it around. 🪡🧵

@moniquenwerk For most brands, the end that is loose on the spool should be threaded through the eye, and the end that is cut should have the knot.
This prevents knots from happening, while stitching.

@BenitaSkinner I’ve been hand quilting for 30 years (and hand sewing for 50). I never knew this! Needle threading while quilting this afternoon was a breeze. Thank you!

@BenitaSkinner this has come up on my feed from a friend's repost. .... but why in all my 50 plus years on this planet did nobody tell me this earlier!!? Thank you for your information

@BenitaSkinner@mastodon.social Whoa, really? Damn, that's useful knowledge. Surprised this isn't more widely made known.

@BenitaSkinner I don't do much hand sewing, but hopefully I'll remember this next time I need it.

@BenitaSkinner I'm sorry, what? Has my whole sewing life been a lie? Have I struggled for no reason at all?
