    Good to know! I was taught as a child because raised female, and its helped more over the years than I thought it would! And repairing rips along seams came up several times!

    I still hate threading the needles.

      I learned to moisten the eye of the needle instead of the thread. It makes threading a needle way easier. Also, making sure the thread is cleanly cut at the end and not fraying.

        Oh they’re always clean cut! I’ll try moistening the needle over the thread next time, but it’s always so finicky.
