Needle troubles

Ever have trouble threading your needle?  Sometimes we are sure its just old age, and well, honestly sometimes it is!  However, did you realize that needles are 'stamped out' when they are manufactured.  So if you are having troubles threading your needle, it may help to flip the needle over and try the other side.  I found this especially true when using a #22 Chenelle needle, used for wool applique.  So next time you are having troubles you may want to give this handy tip a try, may solve your needle troubles, or you may have to spring for stronger glasses!  Have a fun day stitching.
