Problem: Article: Feed one end of the thread into your sewing needle and draw the thread halfway through. Tie both ends together into a knot. If you want to camouflage the whipstitch, use thread in a coordinating color. If you want the whipstitch to stand out, use thread of a contrasting color. Embroidery thread works well for this stitch, but any thick thread can be used. To tie the knot, try moistening your forefinger. Wrap the thread around your forefinger once. Then use your thumb to push the thread off your finger, twisting it in the process. Finally, pull the end of the thread to tighten the knot. Make sure that the edges you intend to sew together are evenly aligned. The sides of the fabric which you intend to be the backend should face out so as to be visible during the process. The thread you use here will be more visible. Pin or baste the layers together to hold them in place. While looking at the two layers of fabric from the side, draw the needle up through the bottom of the top layer, leaving the bottom layer untouched. Start your stitch about 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) from the end. Also note that each stitch you make should be 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) away from your sewn edge, as well. By only piercing through the top layer, you will draw the knot between the two layers, thereby hiding it from sight. Circle the needle around to the bottom layer of fabric and pierce through the fabric directly under your first hole. Draw it straight through both layers of fabric, making sure that it comes out in nearly the same position as your first half-stitch. This is your first full stitch since it connects both layers together. When you complete this step, the thread should be wrapped around the edges of both layers in an even stitch, forming a loop around the outside of the fabric. Make sure that the stitch is secure, but not so tight that it causes the fabric to bunch up. Bring the needle back to the bottom of the fabric and poke it up through both layers of fabric. Angle the needle so that it comes out roughly 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) away from the first stitch. This second stitch will essentially cover the first stitch. Pull the thread tight. When done, you should only be able to see what appears to be one stitch, but the thread should come out from fabric in a blank spot next to the stitch. Each stitch should be approximately 1/8 inch from one another and from the edge of the fabric, so that each stich is parallel. Position the needle beneath the bottom side of the fabric. Poke it up into both layers of fabric, beginning just beneath the spot at which the thread is coming up. Angle the needle so that it comes out through the top another 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) away from the previous stitch. The stitch itself should not appear angular, however. It should run straight up and down over the edge, parallel to the first stitch. Continue making stitches that mimic the previous one. Draw the needle up through both layers, starting at a point beneath the previous stitch and ending at a position 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) away. Do this until you reach the end of the edge. Note that the majority of your stitches will follow this pattern, but your last full stitch and half stitch will be different and will mimic the stitches you made at the beginning of the process. For your final full stitch, pierce the needle through the bottom layer and draw it straight up through both layers instead of stitching at an angle. This stitch should be made 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) away from the edge of the fabric, just as the first one was. Poke the needle up through the bottom layer again, in the same spot as your previous stitch. Only bring the thread through the bottom layer, however, and not the top layer. In this step, you are mirroring the initial half stitch you created at the beginning of the process. This stitch will be hidden in between both layers of fabric. Draw the needle through the back of the last stitch you made. Pull the layers apart slightly to reveal the backside of your stitches. Open up the pieces of fabric like two leaves of a book. Wrap the needle through your last stitch, creating a loose loop in the process. Thread the fabric back around, twisting it around the original loop. Then pull tight. This knot should also be hidden in between the two layers of fabric. After creating the knot, cut your thread to free it from the needle. Trim it short so that it cannot be visible from the front side. Gently pull the two layers apart, causing the stitches to flatten evenly against the fabric. This step completes the process.
Summary: Thread the needle. Arrange two pieces of fabric on top of each other. Poke your needle up through the top layer of fabric. Poke your needle up through both layers of fabric. Bring the needle up through both layers again at an angle. Make another angular stitch through both layers. Repeat the pattern as needed. Create your final full stitch. Make a half stitch in between layers. Tie a finishing knot. Flatten the stitches.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bubble tea was traditionally made with black tea, but you can use green, chai, yerba mate, or any kind of tea. You can even use coffee!

SUMMARY: Make the tea. Stir and drink!

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The break up conversation will likely be intense and difficult so set the scene by choosing a time and place where you can be alone and talk in private. This could be a quiet bench in a park or a private spot in a coffee shop. Choose a location that feels neutral and secluded enough to give you both space to talk and listen. Choose a private place to talk in public rather than having the talk in your home. If the man reacts negatively, this can help keep you safe. Because you are the one instigating the break up, you will need to take charge of the conversation and be clear about your intentions. Try to keep your voice calm and controlled, as getting emotionally may signal to the married man that he can try to comfort you and avoid the break up conversation. Using a calm and clear tone will make it apparent that you are serious about your desire to end the relationship. For example, you may begin by telling the married man you need to discuss your relationship and your unhappiness or discomfort with the situation. "I would like to talk to you about our relationship. I am not happy with our relationship and I think we need to address the status of our relationship." To ensure you are understood clearly by the married man, focus on "I" statements, such as: "I feel that you are not committed to our relationship and I am not comfortable being the other woman," or "I think we should end our affair. I am tired of all the lying and sneaking around." At this point, the married man may try to persuade you to change your mind or use excuses he has used in the past. Resist this by providing reasons why you think it is time to end the relationship and by being clear that you have made your decision. Using "I" statements will show you are being accountable for your decision and are expressing your feelings without blaming or accusing the married man. This will keep the conversation controlled and prevent it from devolving into a shouting match. Once you have stated your intentions to end the relationship, be firm about your decision by rejecting any excuses the married man may use and walking away if he tries to persuade you to change your mind. For example, you may say: "It's no use arguing about this anymore. I'm not going to change my mind and I hope you can respect my decision by not contacting me in any way. I think we both need time apart to accept the break up." You may want to cut communication with him to give him time to accept your decision and to avoid being tempted to renew the relationship. Avoid calling, texting, or emailing him, and do not answer any of his messages if he reaches out to you. Doing this will show him you are serious about your decision to end the relationship and will also help you to move on from the relationship.
Summary:
Set up a time where you are both alone and can talk privately. Express yourself clearly and calmly. Use "I" statements. Be firm about your desire to end the relationship.
