I am grateful for all the helpful information available from the generous people who take time to put it out there. It is faster to read than to listen, text is searchable, and there are videos for those who need them. What a wonderful world we live in.

Hi Dale
Moistening the needle doesnot rust – not true. I have a number of needles in my box to prove it wrong. I am not taking chances : )
Maybe the quality of needles matters and yours are better.

Moistening the thread actually causes the strands to spread. Moistening the needle shouldn’t rust it unless you’re storing it in a cup of water. Cutting the thread on a 45 degree angle IS easier than the 90 degrees.
Try spell check and grammar check. Also, have someone proofread for you before publishing.

I thought this article tried and succeeded to explain very plainly points that books and others have passed over. It was written as if the writer was speaking to you in person. Please LaTrish be grateful the writer took the time to share her knowledge. We all can learn from others even if it is only one hint. I’ve been doing all types of hand and machine work for 60 yrs and I still welcome hearing others ways of doing things as some maybe better than my way. And again I was right..I did learn some tips here. Thank you to the writer.

Hi
I am sorry you felt that the post is impossible to read ; I see the grammar mistakes – it is not just the needle I have trouble threading it seems. : )
“For hand sewing I usually use the spool for sewing machine to sew, unless it is a buttonhole.” That sounds vague, I agree. I meant to say I use the sewing thread meant for machine sewing for hand sewing

This is a very poorly written article with not-so-great tips. For instance, there is nothing disgusting about moistening your thread with saliva, it is a tried and true method. If you cut your thread at an angle all that happens is that not all the strands will go through at once which messes up your thread, then you have to cut off the ruined bit and start over. Instead you want to cut your thread very cleanly at a 90° angle, not having any fibers sticking out.
You say “For hand sewing I usually use the spool for sewing machine to sew, unless it is a buttonhole.” What?! This is so poorly written that it doesn’t even make sense! What are you trying to say?
Also, worst way to make a knot I’ve ever seen, at least if you want it at the end.
The grammar and punctuation are pretty terrible throughout the entire article. It’s somewhat difficult to read.
