I recently received a stitching set, but some tools I don't know how to use (such as the needle threader) and I don't know how to stitch from the outside (for things like blankets and such)...can someone help me learn how to do these things?

Question

Arieonna · Answer

1. Thread your sewing needle and tie the ends of the thread together. 2. Pierce the needle through the side of the fabric people won't see. 3. Guide the needle through the other side of the fabric. 4. Continue stitching until you reach the end of the fabric. 5. Finish the stitching with a knot.

Hope this helps a little

1. Keep both the needle threader and the needle in one hand, while keeping a loop of wire on the needle threader through the eye of the needle. Insert the thread through that loop of wire. Then pull the thread through that loop so you end with a tail that measures about a few inches. (THIS IS TO WORK THE NEEDLE THREADER)  2. (Let me think a little.)

I know how to do that, I just don't know how to stitch specifically with something such as a blanket (tldr: my dog likes to suckle/chew the blankets like a baby sometimes, sometimes for attention), so I don't know how to specifically sow it in a way that'll make it look seamless so that minimal thread is seen.

This somewhat helps--are there any photos of what it looks like when working it out? I was told that the needle threader is what helps get the thread through the needle, so I don't know (i do it old school by cutting the tip, doing that thing where you stick it in your mouth to create a point, and then try to stick it through lol...it's hard though, sometimes)

I am not able to find a picture or proof of an ending result. And the things I've needle threaded have been disposed, so. Yeah. I'll look a bit more.
