[@christeenmccrobie2917]

I can't even put the stupid thread through the needle

[@Tremulousnut]

That's because the ends of your thread became frayed. Wet the end of the thread a little and rub the end to make it "sharp". That will make it easier to thread the needle.

[@kikikira8416]

just cut off some thread and see if the thread is straight then it will be easier to pull

[@nateheart4595]

You can rub some beeswax on the end of your thread to stop it from fraying while you're putting it through

[@ceinna3948]

You can use these thingys to make it EASIER

hello! so, my mom taught me the very very basics of sewing* when I was eight, and now, 22 years later, I want to pick it up as a crafting hobby. the most I've done in the past is sloppily (but functionally 😅) hem my non-formal pants. and just from the first couple of minutes, you have already taught me wayyyy more efficient tying knots and a better way to hold the fabric so I'm not hurting my shoulders and neck. just from this little video, you have made sewing so much more accessible for me! the tiny annoying things are now less annoying, and hopefully I won't destroy my neck as much 😂 *she wasn't much of a teacher tbh. I don't feel bad saying that or critiquing what she taught me lol

[@avosmash2121]

That was one of the best video tutorials I've ever seen on anything. Direct to the point. Pleasant not overbearing music. Clear bright visuals, with large simple text, not overwhelming or too slow or too fast. No obnoxious long winded hellos, random stories, comedy skits, sponsorship add, long winded introduction themes or other gimmicky nonsense. Just gets to the lesson, and I love the bright contrast used between the fabric and all the threads, to define all the 3 main stitch styles apart. I've never hand sewn a thing in my life. One of my favorite pillows got torn. I keep trying to learn from books but somehow it's not hitting my ADHD brain the right way for me to understand with a visual diagram or large amounts of text. I think you might have provided me with the perfect answer. I'm going to do my best and practice soon. Thanks again🎉

[@NuttyCrafter]

Thank you so much for your comment! ❤️
