[Nfb-krafters-korner] Self Threading Sewing Machine Needles

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I have a quick and easy project for you!  You purchase a pot holder and kitchen hand towel that match or coordinate well together.  

Locate the middle of the hand towel usually they are folded this way anyway.  Sew down the center of the pot holder with the "pretty side" out to the hand towel.  All you are doing is making one straight stitch which attaches the pot holder to the hand towel.  The loop of the pot holder becomes the button hole.  Line it up and sew on a large button.  Now this pot holder will go around the handle of your oven door.  The button holds it in place.  

Quick easy gifts!

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Self Threading Sewing Machine Needles

Someone asked if my self threading sewing machine needles were size 14. They are size 12. So looks like they come in many sizes. The twelve worked well on the material I was working with today.

My machine is in working order now. Wait, I am now able to thread and manage my machine myself. there is a lot more to learn but I have free classes at the store. But I can thread it and fill the bobbin and change some of the stitches that I might use and manage the length of stitches. Now, I want to come up with a very quick and easy project to do in the next couple of days to give to my New year's Eve friends. So any ideas will be greatly appreciated. I want to do more then a hot pad but not much more work then that. lol
