[Nfb-krafters-korner] SEWING MACHINE

[Henrietta Brewer]

HI again,
I forgot to mention that you can buy self threading sewing machine needles. I have them but haven't put them in the machine yet. When you use them, you simply slide the thread along the inside of the needle and it catches and slides in the needle.
