As you take it off, the thread at the end is the end to use to thread the needle. It doesn't make much difference, but it will be a little easier to thread through the needle. <br />If you can find "flower" thread, which is a type not a brand ( not sure if it's still made ) it's wonderful to work with. I used to use it for noses when I made miniature bears. <br /><br />Next time you are searching embroidery on line, take a look at ribbon embroidery...that's a whole 'nother beautiful addiction.<br /><br />good luck!gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150948057255531137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043728711737537928.post-49765023596608749562011-06-29T22:07:47.893-05:002011-06-29T22:07:47.893-05:00Aren't days like that so much fun?
