Last week’s newsletter included a video on needles, how to identify them and why a particular one might be the best choice for a given project. Our Giveaway – Side Threading Needle – continues that theme. This needle is perfect for burying the tails of thread that happen during machine quilting. And, if you have failing eyesight but still want to sew, these needles will make you happy.

The package comes with 12 needles in assorted sizes. The needles are sturdy and a little thicker than normal.

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Sandra Smith was chosen by the Random Number Generator as our Wednesday winner! She will receive the Sewline Aqua Eraser Pen, described below.

Designed to “erase” chalk or pencil marks from fabric, as well as small stains without making a big wet mess, you control how it works. Fill the reservoir with water and/or your trusted stain remover, use finger pressure to control the “wetness” of the nib and rub along the line or stain on your fabric. Check out the video and the before and after photos of my bedspread to see just how it works.
