Glad you enjoyed it!

A fun and interesting video to watch while I hand quilt! Thank you so much for sharing this video!

[@ConfidentStitch]

I know! I learned so much!

[@LloydsofRochester]

Boy, I wish I had known a lot of this before.😲 I'm also going to send this link to a friend of mine who loves to sow!

[@ConfidentStitch]

I know. It’s so helpful and Rhonda is a great teacher!

[@gailthecrafter]

Hi this was great. Thank you for the information. I will be placing an order soon.

[@ConfidentStitch]

We're so glad you enjoyed it, Gail! Happy sewing 💙

[@nidiankincaid1504]

Great information! How do I receive the little kit along with chart needle?

[@ConfidentStitch]

I don’t think they are in the website 🤷‍♀️. You should call the shop between 10 am and 6 pm mountain time. [phone]

Very informative. Do you know what needle you can use on Antique Sewing Machines? I have a Bradley Family Sewing Machine. The needle sadly broke some years ago, and I have not been able to use it since.

[@ConfidentStitch]

Good question. I don’t know about antique sewing machines, but The Featherweight Doctor on insta could probably help you

The app store says that the Schmetz needle app won't work on my phone because it was made for an older android version of phone. Any updates on that? I work at a fabric store and I'd love to endorse the Schmetz app, but won't if it's that outdated.

[@ConfidentStitch]

Good question. I’m not sure! Can you reach out to SCHMETZ?

[@beverlybolton6346]

How do you get a needle out of your packages??

[@ConfidentStitch]

Slide the clear part down and bend the white part back to reveal the non-sharp ends of the needles. 🤩

[@darleneappleman3911]

I have a brand new janome 740dc mach

[@ConfidentStitch]

These needles will fit it!

[@tinarytting3799]

What about matching thread weight to the needle??

[@ConfidentStitch]

Good point! The bigger the needle size, the thicker the thread!
