New threads require understanding for easy sewing. Proper needle, feet and tension make sewing with decorative threads a breeze. Some threads are too large for the needle, so how do you work with them? These threads may be better used in a foot. Should you stitch from the right side of the fabric or the wrong side?
Unleash the possibilities of thread as you discover which to use in the sewing machine needle and which to use with a foot. You can relax when you know the proper techniques. Sew crooked or straight. It’s an adventure the easy way. Create a masterpiece of thread embellishment to showcase your work that can later become a wall hanging, portion of a garment or handbag.
