There's More To Sewing Than Meets the Eye

If you are new to sewing, may I suggest following these instructions. How to thread a sewing machine. 1. Be sure to have good lighting. 2. Put foot down. 3. Raise needle. 4. Hold thread, inspect end, trim if necessary. 5. Bend down into the light. Close one eye, squint with other. 6. With thumb and pointer finger guide thread toward the eye of the needle. 7. if it didn't go through the hole, wet fingers on tongue, pull thread through wet fingers and repeat steps 4 through 6. 8. if you are having no luck, may I suggest you find someone else to do this necessary step or perhaps find another project. Perhaps Knitting. No need to thread those needles.

Nowadays the machines can actually almost thread themselves. Thanks.
