Getting the thread through the needle and securing it with a knot is the first step of any sewing project you will be doing by hand. The process is the same with a small or large needle. Here are two methods of getting the thread through the needle and making a knot in the thread.

To step

1. Choose the correct needle for your thread. Needles come in many different sizes, and it is important to choose one that has an eye large enough for the thread you want to use.
   • Buy a pack of different sized needles so you can try on a few until you find the right size.
   • If you need help figuring out what needle to use, ask a haberdashery store representative for advice.
2. Tighten the knot. When you reach the end of the thread with the loop, tie it in a knot.

Tips

• Not everyone chooses to tie a knot in the thread. Another way is to redo the first stitch a few times through the same holes, then fasten the thread as well.
• Other people prefer a loop. You do this by making a single knot (the first knot you tie when tying your shoelaces), sewing the first stitch but not pulling it all the way through, and then using the needle through the loop between the button and the fabric. to go ahead.

Warnings

• Keep needles in a box or pincushion to prevent them from disappearing into the carpet or chair cushions.

Necessities
