Welcome to Tuesday's Tips from SewVeryEasy, my name is Laura.
And today I would like to share with you a very
simple way to catch your threads in-between
your layers of your quilt.
First of all we need to start by bringing the
threads to one side.
So we need to take this thread and put it to the back
side. This is the top thread.
This is the bottom thread, which is the bobbin thread.
So you will need to pull the top thread to the back
by taking the bobbin thread
and just give it a little tug and you'll see a little loop
and it comes to the surface.
That is actually the top thread.
And you will just take that loop
and you're going to pull it to the back.
And you are going to tie it once
and twice.
You really don't need more than that
because the knot will actually get too big.
The next thing you're going to need is a sewing needle
that is threaded
with a thread that's tied so it's going to make a loop.
You're going to take the needle
and you are going to put it into that hole that you took
that last thread out, which was your top thread.
You're going to put this needle, run it through the back of
the fabric. Even if you catch the batting that's fine.
And then you're going to just pull it right through.
The next thing you're going to do is
take your hand into this loop,
and you are going to be able to take the end of
the threads here, and you're going to be able to
put it in the loop.
So it's actually—do you see how it's
it's actually in the loop there?
When you will pull this thread, the red one,
it will actually carry that thread with it.
Do you see what it's doing?
And it will actually carry it right out.
So that you will need to do after that
is to snip the thread.
And, of course, you'll be able to use this for next time.
But the knot is very small,
the threads are buried inside of the quilt,
and there is nothing on this side.
So hopefully this will give you another way to pull those
threads in-between your batting when you have
a quilt project.
It's very easy like I said,
especially if you have big fingers or you have arthritis
and trying to thread those little needles are a little
hard to do. Hopefully this tip helps you
and, as always, have a good day and I'll see you soon.
Bye now.
