In this video I show how to thread a hand sewing needle. That's where all sewing starts!

These are the items I used. You're not stuck with these choices, though! I strongly encourage you to take a look around and see what you have on hand, or what you can borrow from friends and family. That way you can try different threads and needles out and see what works best for you.


Tools used:
Guggenheim scissors (https://www.guggenhein.com/home)

Gutermann Mara 100 polyester thread

Thread Magic thread conditioner 
I used Thread Heaven, but it's discontinued, and this will do the trick nicely.
