Once you've picked out the thread for your sewing project, look at several needles and hold the thread up to a needle's eye. The eye shouldn't be narrower than the thread or you'll have a hard time threading the needle. Look at the point of the needle too. You may want a needle with a sharp point so it can pierce fabric easily, for instance, or pick a needle with a blunt tip if you're sewing knit fabric. Consider buying a pack of needles in many different sizes, so you can try a few until you find one that's the right size.

summary: Choose a needle that can accommodate your thread's thickness.

Canada is an extremely historical country, and most cities offer free tours of the downtown and historically relevant areas. Check the local tourism websites for times and locations of tours, and do one on your first day in the city. It'll help you learn the layout of the city and let you see some of the major landmarks! If you're planning on taking a tour, make sure you wear your walking shoes and dress for the weather! They can be long, sometimes up to 2-3 hours, and the weather in some cities can change unexpectedly. Especially during the summer, most large cities have a variety of outdoor festivals with free entrance. Take advantage of the opportunity to see local artists and sample Canadian cuisine! If you're traveling in the winter, don't worry! Since Canada has long winters, they also have many cold weather festivals like the Igloofest in Montreal, WinterCity in Toronto, Festival du Voyager in Winnipeg, and Winterlude in Ottawa. This is one of the best ways to get a taste of the local fare while on a budget. Street vendors in Canada are normally very reputable and offer cheap options for a quick bite for lunch or a snack. Look for vendors and food trucks with long lines, as those tend to be the ones popular with locals! Canada is famous for the popular dish poutine, which is a plate of french fries with gravy and cheese curds. Many street vendors offer a variation of this dish, plus meats like hot dogs, sausage, and even veggie burgers! Canada is known for its beautiful forests, lakes, and trails. National Parks and Grasslands are extremely popular and have many free trails for hiking and biking, as well as lakes and rivers for kayaking and canoeing. In the winter, you can go skiing, or rent a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis for a low-cost excursion on one of the many public trails that remain open during the cold weather. In the cities, biking is a great and low-cost way to get around quickly. You can rent bikes for a few dollars a day or based on an hourly rate. Just be sure to return them when you're finished! Art and history are extremely important cultural aspects of life in Canada, so there are many free or low-cost museums and galleries to visit. Additionally, most universities offer free tours of their campuses, some of which include small museums or historical landmarks. Some museums operate on a donation-basis, but it's appropriate to give a few dollars to make sure the museum is compensated for their services. At these locations, it's up to you to decide what's a fair price! Sites like LivingSocial and Groupon sometimes offer discounts on local attractions and experiences based on your location. Download the apps and search for deals in the cities that you'll be going to. Buying ahead secures your ticket and can result in extremely discounted rates for concerts, outdoor excursions, plays, and more! Sometimes new businesses will offer coupons on these apps to get people to try out their product. Keep your eyes out for new and fun experiences that might not be listed on popular travel blogs just yet!

summary: Take free walking tours of the major cities. Go to music, art, and food festivals. Buy food from street vendors and local grocery stores. Get outside and take advantage of Canada's vast wildlife. Visit museums, art galleries, and universities. Use coupons or deal-finding websites.

It is important to keep a careful tally of each player's scores as you play. Each player should announce his or her score after adding it up and then the score keeper should write it down right away. Premium Squares will alter your word scores, so pay attention to these when you play words. You can only use the bonus from a Premium Square if you laid the tile over that square during the current turn. You cannot incorporate bonuses from Premium Squares that you already counted in a different turn or that were counted by a different player. When adding the bonuses for plays with multiple Premium Squares, add the letter bonuses in before the word bonuses. For example, if you spell a word that has a double letter bonus and a triple word bonus, add the double letter bonus to your total before multiplying the total by three. A bingo is when you use all seven of your tiles to play a word. When this happens, you should add up the total value of your word plus any bonuses gained from Premium Squares and then add 50 points. After all of the players have exhausted their tiles or cannot play any more words, add up each player's points total. As the score keeper adds the totals, each player should let him or her know the points value (if any) of the tiles he or she has left over. Deduct this value from each player's points total to determine each player's final score. After the score keeper has added each player's scores and deducted the values of any unused tiles, he or she may announce the winner. The person who has the highest score wins the game. Second place goes to the person with the second-highest score, and so on.
summary: Keep score as you go. Watch for Premium Score squares. Get 50 points added to your word score if you get a bingo, also known as a bonus. Add up each player's scores at the end of the game. Announce the winner.
