So, I needed a break from school, my class and the bathroom remodel, so I
sat down to applique while watching the new Ken Burns documentary on the
national parks.
So, THANK YOU LESLIE. The video on piercing the tail of the silk thread so
that it does not come out of the needle is manna from heaven as they say. I
didn't have much of a problem to begin with since my ring finger keeps a
death grip over the eye of the needle, but now, my hand is sooooo much more
relaxed and the thread does not come out of the eye and it has not broken
and does not catch going through the fabric, etc. My favorite form of
sewing has just gotten better.
Leslie, you have once again showed how wonderful this group is for our
collective knowldege, internet surfing skills and everything else.
Off to Sew. Happy dance and grin.

Hey Steven, if you can be in the middle of a bathroom
remodel and still do a happy dance for any reason
I am impressed! lol Leslie makes a mean caramel
besides knowing lots about quilting.

must have missed Leslie's tip on the silk thread. Pray tell, what is this
"piercing the tail"
thing? I love appliquing with silk thread but need to know how to keep that
silly thread
from slipping out of the eye of the needles.
Where can I find this video?

Here is the link that Leslie provided. Believe me. Like in the video,
don't look at the thread you are piercing. Just "feel it". It works.

Thanks a lot Steve. I don't really see how this will help, also don't see
how I can do this with 100 wt. silk thread which is what I use when
appliquing. I have visions of me sewing my fingers together trying to do
this. LOL
